I seriously cannot stop watching that Halo 3 teaser.

I'm not a huge fan (never owned the second- beat and sold the first), but that trailer gets me all giddy. Such GREAT MUSIC YES.

FINISH THE FIGHT.

Fuck awesome.

Martin O donnel rocks. He was able to real make a music that is sinounimous(?) with the HAlo games. Wich imo is quite hard, few games/movies can come up with memorable soundtracks that get easilly associated with their games/movies everytime someon hears it.

Halo soundtrack rocks.
 
the halo trailer wouldnt be half as good without that music. the ending when the h3 logo and bungie comes up is my favorite part

I thought it looked good, though what they're showing are just two small portions of the game. The game has a lot of really cool little touches, but it's just a demo of interactive cutscenes and combat right now, they're not showing off any of the role-playing or story elements.

Internet scallywags have neutered his ability to hypebole :'(


nice to see he's upbeat on the whole MS buyout thing though, i was worried he'd jump ship like he did at Bullfrog when EA came in.

Well unlike EA, devs actually like to work under MS.

Holy shit! In that blog post he says the engine can scale geometry and display things out to 13 or 14 miles! That's impressive.

Yeah I just about fell out of my seat when I read that. Marty and some others mentioned in the launch article that the focus of the demo was really on the SCALE of the artifact and surroundings. I took that as a hint that the game is being build with that kind of scale in mind. Frankie specified that the location is actually in the game. I sure how we get to do some serious desert exploration/combat.

I don't want to spend the game driving around in a desert canyon, is what I'm saying. I've been teased with that great expanse, and I want to go sandboxing in it (pun intended). Got that, Stinkles? :)

Oh, and today's One One Seven is spot on:

IGN and Gamespot both have some new decent hands-on-impressions up. I'll see if I can track 'em down.

Denis Dyack is promising the game will run at 60 FPS. And before anyone laughs, Eternal Darkness ran that smoothly.

My concern is if the game is any fun. It doesn't really look it from the videos floating around.

just reading the first page... the questions sure aren't good.... or getting any better.

Yeah, the b.net forums are not exactly the best of the bunch. They've done Q&A in the HBO forums before and those tend to be better.

I need to reactivate my account for some reason, or I'd post there. But I'm curious if the pulse fired at the end of the trailer is what causes everything to white-out, or if they are doing a fade to white, much as the trailer startes out bathed in white.
 
Still can't post my own topic so I'll just post this here.

Huge XBL update coming at the end of May!!

http://adidat.blogspot.com/2006/05/360-dashboard-update-soon.html

"Features include background downloading and having multiple downloads at once.
The user marks a file to download and it will be put in an active queue downloadlist. There are 6 slots reserved in that queue. They will be downloaded sequentially not in parallel! If the Xbox360 sees there is bandwith available it will boost the download speed up. During online sessions the downloads will be paused to garantee no lags. It's also possible to turn off the console, after powering it back on the downloads will resume. When a download finishes the user will get a message that it has been downloaded."

Finally! :D

There was a short thread about it earlier today, but it dropped fast. Blimblim confirmed the update is coming, too. I hope you can download while playing offline games, like Oblivion. I really want to que up some downloads, go play for a while, and come back and have them done.
 
someone stated earlier that Shadowrun has been in the dev for a long time.

That is incorrect, at least that's what I was told by one of their designers. 13-16 months he stated. Has 8 more months of dev to go.
 
has anyone found any Mass Effect videos? the only ones I can find are the old trailer and what they showed at the Microsfot conference.

Looks like theres finally a zombie game coming for the 360.
I found this trailer (torrent) for vampire's rain. It shows about 3 seconds of gameplay footage :lol , but a nice trailer nonetheless.

A trailer that happens to be the one I captured from XBLM, with the xboxyde intro removed. I don't want to start watermarking my videos, but I did not pay more than $4000 to get all the hardware necessary for 720p capture to see other sites just use the content without at least a proper credit.
I'm not saying you're the one who removed the logo, but this is really annoying.

Maybe they took it from you, but I certainly didn't

I have taken some videos from you but I left the logos in, and I've never taken and never will the videos that you/snoopers personally shot (as in cams).

Ok. I don't understand why you take my videos since I already have torrents, but as long as there is at least the logo it's ok.
I know this Rain video is the same as mine because my capture hardware softens the image a bit, and of course it has the same compression artifacts as mine.
Looks like I'll have to watermark the stuff I capture now. Removing intros is really lame.
