What comes in the GOTY edition? Cause if I buy it GoD, I can get it right now, on my hard drive.

EDIT: Holy shit that box art of the GOTY edition makes me not want to get it. So bad lol.

It's all the DLC, which I think are challenge maps, characters and missions. I'm not quite sure, I don't own it.

And yeah, that box art is an affront to mankind. I don't know what they were thinking. If I ever buy that edition, I'm gonna buy the artwork from the standard edition to cover it up.

 

[The Librarian]

If I had to choose between Alan Wake and Arkham City, I'd go with Alan Wake. I tried AC after loving AA, but I found it too unfocused for my taste, so I never finished it. I thoroughly enjoyed Alan Wake, but I've yet to pick up American Nightmare.

My two cents.

Edit: I'm an outlier for having those feelings about AC, so probably best not to take my advice when deciding between those two games.

 

[Ken]

I can't decide if I should get Alan Wake or Arkham City. Both are $30 GoD and can be found for $20 elsewhere. Suggestions GAF?

Didn't Amazon have Alan Wake GoD codes for like super cheap before.

That reminds me I should go back and play more than 30 minutes of my day 1 Arkham City purchase.

 

[GrimBrother One]

Holy shit, Alan Wake is incredible. Just finished episode 1 and know I have to take a break so I'll have it over a longer span to enjoy it.

I really need to pick this up. I always hear great things about it.

 

[Devolution]

This shit moves too fast and I'm terrible at keeping up these days. What do we know about multiplayer so far? Someone who is nice enough to ignore my laziness please tell me.

 

[Enfinit]

Same. Wish it was on Mac, though. Seems like it would be much better as a PC game versus the 360, and I'm far too lazy to dual boot. My MPB can do it, but I need a more powerful machine to dual boot smoothly.

 

[a zoojoo]

CoD fans are the type of people that use composite cords on their HDTVs. They are more likely to laugh at the fact that Halo has aliens in it and call it unrealistic.

My best friend's 10 year old brother uses that exact argument.

Whoa I just noticed something about that image. The foregrounds light source is off to the right and the shadows are being cast to the left. The backgrounds light source is the exact opposite and it is casting shadows to the right. Uhh, why?

Multiple suns on Requiem confirmed?

Well, our best chance at some new info, or at least info from the beta suicided yesterday. So now we wait.

 

[Overdoziz]

The background in that desert picture looks terrible. 60fps maybe?

 

[MrBig]

I am happy that we will get a native 720p game with locked 30fps at this stage of the console cycle. (I hope the framerate is locked)

Then I look at this screenshot and say: This game gonna be good.

Dat CoD quality skybox. A disgrace.

 

[Enfinit]

Anybody else notice this off the "leaked" LE images? Looks like the new EOD helmet on the bottom, what seems to be a new ODST, and a few unfamiliar ones, although I heard one of 'em's called the "Orbital" helmet. (Sorry if this has been posted before).

 

[ZalinKrow]

I assume there was no bulletin after all today then?

Nice catch!

 

[DeadNames]

Anybody else notice this off the "leaked" LE images? Looks like the new EOD helmet on the bottom and an ODST-looking helmet on top that some are calling the "Orbital" helmet. (Sorry if this has been posted before).

I think the one on top looks more like Mk. V ... But then again. Bottom one is most definitely EOD.

Also, highest one: Hayabusa helmet confirmed?

 

[Aggrotek]

Yeah I have a linked saved for $6.24, and free shipping for a code. I actually think it was you that sent that to me a while back and I meant to purchase, but never did. Looks like I'll get both.

Angel alluded to it coming on Friday in last week's bulletin.

I've heard the top one's called the "Orbital" helmet, although I can't confirm it. Sounds familiar, might be some footage in some gameplay/screenshot that I'm far too lazy to search for.

 

[Ramirez]

I'm pretty sure Sig is actually insane. For reals. He's been doing those Mario runs for forever. I don't know how his brain can handle the repetition.

For those who have never heard of him before, this was his best ever 120 star run - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqGL53OsOfY That's all one take pulled directly from his stream.

Man, watching someone who has truly mastered a game is quite mesmerizing, lol.

MTW said Hayabusa is not in the game in a tweet. Not sure if legit.

Orbital:

Top one isn't Orbital. Orbital looks like EVA, but striped.

I'd find a pic, but I'm too lazy.

Probably wasn't in that build. Stay hopeful.

 

[Portugeezer]

Oh snap, GOTY edition of 10 out of 10

dont think they would have all of the helmets in an early beta.

beautiful cover, ugh makes me want it so bad. Lmao, did a 10 year old make that cover though?!

Ah okay, I thought I read Friday being mentioned at one stage alright. Thanks

 

[Enfinit]

Orbital:

Thank you good sir.

Best speedrun I've ever seen. I've watched a dozen times and can't figure what the fuck he does in some parts.

Fair enough. Just relaying the information I saw. I think the only helmets in the build are the ones we have seen screens of from RTX and E3.

 

[Steelyuhas]

Downloading Arkham City right now.

 

[Flipyap]

Whoa I just noticed something about that image. The foregrounds light source is off to the right and the shadows are being cast to the left. The backgrounds light source is the exact opposite and it is casting shadows to the right. Uhh, why?

There's also something about the way the rocks are angled that makes them look even more out of place. Either the first row is sinking, or the matte painting was created to be viewed from a much higher position.
Plus, aren't the rocks a bit too close to be a 2D skybox object?

 

[Portugeezer]

Lol, that one is shopped, real one is still bad though.

CyReN, what happened to that link to the pics of the LE?

I got ya, champ.

It's not working for me.
It says the page wasn't found

Wonder what that dent in the corner is for. Looks awesome though.

Some other pics too, not sure if posted.

Are there any pre-order bonuses? *too lazy to google*

Aside from armor and gun skins, I don't know of any.

Dude, I hear 10 Out of 10 2 is going to be off the chain...

 

[Poker Face]

best buy gives you a cool poster, its shiny.

on a side note, i really hope 343 changes the BR back to a 4 shot with no spread or recoil, watching halo 2 really makes me miss that great weapon.

 

[OverHeat]

Get Arkham City and PM me if you want a free Alan Wake code. I have one of those cards from a 360 I bought for my gf and never used it so I could just give it to someone.

Thats really kind of you! This is what I love about the halo community.

 

[Mister Negative]

Aside from armor and gun skins, I don't know of any.

The only preorder gun skin is uuuuugggglyyyyyyy. I'm hoping the LE AR skin is okay looking. Not like i'll be using the Ar that much anyway.

 

[MaximumFlipFlop]

Alright HaloGAF, just published the final version of my HaloGAF logo wear.

HaloGAF shirt final. Grey logo

It can be used on T-shirts, V-Necks, hoodies or whatever. Anyone who plans on buying one and wants a different colored logo, PM me. I'll alter it and send you a private link. Figuring out to get the NeoGAF logo right took forever, but I am very happy with how it all turned out. If you order relatively soon, you should receive them before PAX.

Examples of the final look.

I will enjoy AR'ing you at close range, what you gonna do HUH!!??!?

 

[Stinkles]

He's a pretty cool guy.

One thing in the LE will cause a significant chuckle here.

 

[HiredN00bs]

CoD reads every four frames, but in a 60fps game, that leads to roughly 70ms of input lag. When Reach is functioning optimally at 30fps (which isn't too often, unfortunately), it has 100ms of input lag. Higher frame rates definitely lead to more responsive controls.

Reach runs at ~30 fps most of the time, according to Digital Foundry, so I don't know where you're getting the "not to often" comment. It has drops that can be reproduced in certain scenarios, but it's at ~30 fps over 99% of the time.

And your second point doesn't make sense. If CoD read input at every 10 frames, for example, it wouldn't be as responsive as Reach, despite having a higher frame rate. Higher frame rate isn't a sufficient condition for less input lag.

If my jawline isnt as defined as that models, can I still buy it?
