I can't believe that out of all these brilliant titles shown, I am most interested in getting DOOM. I think I will wait a bit to stop an impulse purchase but will most likely end up with it.

BTW, how does every thread here turn the same way? We are getting HD-DVD, new games, sequels that look great and multiplayer like never seen before. What is there to argue about!?

A-FUCKING-MEN!

Today is awesome news day.

Alan Wake is hot, Assasin's Creed is PoP team back in form, Doom on XBLA with online co-op (!), TWO new Halo games on top of Halo 3 in the works, Shadowrun is actually looking playable, Splinter Cell is now essentially locked to 360 and Live (as it's best been served so far) and Sensi is on XBLA too. Fucking hell, awesome news. This was way more than I was hoping to hear.

Shit, and GTA IV news as well.

Now watching Assasin's Creed video. I would have bought a PS3 for this, now there's no need.

Really, I think if MGS4 or VF5 get ported, thats it for PS3 for me.

Episodes man, EPISODES!

This is so cool I need to peel one off.

Oh, and I'm back on the Ubisoft bandwagon. Splinter Cell looks shit hot, SC5 is 360 exclusive, Assasin's Creed looks the shit, R6 Vegas can't be bad and then there's the genre leading Wii lineup

I guarantee they'll be 1200 points each or whatever the maximum is they can cost.

I'll still buy them though.

I can't believe Doom is only four players, when there's all those sourceports around that allow up to 32... I'll bet it's also lacking any of the added features of those ports too, like mlook, jumping, and hardware accellerated graphics..

I hate how Peter Moore speaks.

I think you mean you hate english accents.

Scullibundo · Post by **Scullibundo** » 28 Sep 2006 07:37 pm

No I also hate how he speaks, it's not his accent. He has some sort of speech impediment. It's as if he puts emphasis on words at impromptue (sp?) times.

Scullibundo · Post by **Scullibundo** » 28 Sep 2006 07:39 pm

Oh oh! I realised something else I don't like about that Halo Wars trailer. Elites don't travel together in packs. It's one elite leading a group of grunts - fools!

If Bluray fails PS3 users and devs will enjoy the benefits of superior media regardless. As for Sony using Playstation to proliferate Bluray, so what? MS are using XBox to proliferate XNA and ultimately Windows. We've been over this so many times now. Anyone with a shred of brain can see the two megacorps balance each other out in the alterior motive stakes. If anything MS are far more shameless as their buying into this industry is purely reactive, born from what they deem is necessary to preserve their software monopoly and hence losing volumes of cash only they can afford to lose, rather than a considered foray into videogames with a view to making money from it.

Pat · Post by **Pat** » 28 Sep 2006 09:02 pm

Where does that place Nintendo in your scheme of things, Pep - given theyre gaming-only, profit only, proactive and not a megacorp?

Texas · Post by **Texas** » 28 Sep 2006 09:42 pm

On what Pep said -
He's right. and on that... any takers that M$ will release a Dash update that only allows you to use a Zune as a plug-in MP3 player????

There's not enough Halo discussion in this thread for my liking.

Yeah I'm actually looking forward to Halo Wars. I love RTS games and I love Halo, how can I go wrong???

selfish · Post by **selfish** » 29 Sep 2006 02:41 am

sculli is right with respect to halo wars - if it doesn't fit with established canon, don't make it happen

and pep is right with the "ms are in this ultimately to further their windows monopoly - xna and all" - only they can afford to lose this much money (an entire generation of loss making machines! only at microsoft!) in order to push their platform
what's worse is that they really look like the only option for a real console this gen

no the wii is not a real console, i am the first to admit that
