Episode 2 and 3 of Red Vs Blue is out. It is starting to get good. Still not as funny as season 1, but I guess that is what happens when you get famous.

ATM the only video worth getting is the Lego Star Wars II one... and possibly the hi-def version of the new Audioslave track.

The demo doesn't go for long enough. It was the same with the 06 demo as well as NCAA 07.

Visually kicks the shit out of DOA4 however. Nice to see a lighting system in place!

yep that one texture of grass and 50 guys who look identical... wow impressive.

A demo is meant to make you want to buy the game. Not go to EA and bitch slap the producers.

Yeah it's a shit demo as one minute quarters are ludicrously short (I play 12 minute quarters), but there's no denying that it looks miles better than DOA4. Awesome stadium modeling, awesome lighting. Admittedly the boobs in DOA4 animate better than the manboobs in Madden.

Candy i know you love nfl, but this wrong on so many levels. It's the got the same single light source shading that doa4 uses. Also the same shadow system, ie not full self shadowed but only projected onto the floor. DOA4 actually uses more than 1 light source though on a couple of levels. Can't say that for madden so far. Also doa4 uses some level of AF and uses 4xAA and runs double the framerate, madden uses no AF, has no AA and is half the framerate. Madden looks like crap for a next gen title.

DOA4's lighting is as flat as you could ever hope to see in a modern video game. The only game that is on the same level that I can think of is Resistance.

Like DOA4, Madden is missing self shadowing, but the daylight system actually looks like one, maybe because of the smart colour temperature choice in the demo. DOA4's daytime stages look like someone just booted up 3DS Max for the first time, placed a point light and hit Render.

Also to be frank I'd expect DOA4 to use 4xAA and run at 60fps since it's a marginal upgrade from DOA3 and DOAU, whereas Madden is lightyears ahead of the Xbox version despite a halved framerate.

I think they have another lightyear or 2 to go. ;)

They need to make it a rule on next-gen consoles that you have to use self-shadowing.

What shits me off is that Madden still isn't running at 60fps. When I look at PGR3 I see a game that is understandably not running at 60. When I look at Madden I don't see that.

They got fifa at 60, madden with those sort of visuals should be doing 60fps too. I think possibly tiburion is having problems trying to get the most out of next gen hardware. Apparently fifa and fight night are EA canada, So i think they need to get those boys from canada down for a little help.

Alternatively EA could buy Visual Concepts to handle the graphics and presentation whilst Tiberon does the gameplay. But that's a smart idea so EA won't be doing that.

Ah, it's the price of a can of soft drink.

Anyway, it's not too bad- there is a card that when you put it down, lets you look at the next player's cards, and then acts as a wild.

Better elevator music than the others, too. Still elevator music, but somehow better.

I'll probably get it to get me playing again. I do like alt decks. I just like complaining.

No one plays Uno. If we did I'd probably get it.

I bought the deck this morning. Not too bad, it plays the shitty PGR3 background music as you play and the backgrounds swap between rounds. The TV card is actually pretty handy. Also because you have no idea who it is being used on. very very sneaky.
