[The Abominable Snowman]

Selected games probably = games that used the DirectX API in the first Xbox. So many games will be backwards compatible but all of Team Ninja's games (Including Ninja Gaiden) won't

 

[VALIS]

Ouch, BC with only top-selling games.

I don't think anyone knows what to make of that yet. I sure don't.

 

[shpankey]

Good Lord, this is embarrising for X360... graphics look same as Xbox 1. Shit... MSFT is fucked.

 

[trmas]

DOA4 looks like garbage. Of course it is on a postage stamp screen, but its definately the same crappy pics that were leaked..

 

[methodman]

ok... enuff doa4 already, jesus...

 

[dynamitejim]

:lol This is just great. My ISP's DNS server just died and the only site I have bookmarked with its IP address is GAF. Lucky me.

From IGN (http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/614/614498p1.html):

Xbox 360 officially will be backward compatible with the prior system's top-selling games, said Microsoft's Vice President Peter Moore. Microsoft will pick and choose only the most popular Xbox titles from its huge backlist of games and will most likely use emulator software for those limited titles.

Edit: er I mean IGN thinks BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY ALA BLEEM
that is all

The DirectX explanation sounds much more believable.

 

[ToyMachine228]

I've had audio only for like...The past 5 minutes. The visual is froze.

Boy I hope this DOA4 footage is better...

RYU HAYABUSA ON TOP OF A BUILDING
Oh I'm a badass, but am I prerendered? NO!

Hi I'm a girl doing kung fu with flowing hair and good collision! I can also do the SPoD! Ooo pro wrestling moves off the top rope...that's kind of cool I guess.

Final boss = Robot skeleton

HOLY SHIT BASS JUST GOT HIT BY A CAR, THEY'RE FIGHTING IN TRAFFIC!!! That's all kinds of awesome.

Still, this looks like 90% the same gameplay and animation as the last eigheen DOAs!...the tekken demo totally smoked this, sorry.

 

[SKluck]

These CG bits should be what the game actually looks like... not the lame gameplay graphics.

 

[DopeyFish]

xbox being BC for only the top selling games makes BC pretty damn useless to me since I dont only own the top selling games.

stupid microsoft

compatibility will be increased over time

 

[siege]

Alright, if DOA4 is a launch title, I'm seriously underwhelmed. Team Ninja are masters at visuals and that looks barely above DOA3.

 

[Neutron Night]

Ok, this DOA4 footage is exactly the same stuff we saw and dimissed as Xbox1.5 a couple days ago. Not good. Team Ninja is better than this, come on.

A lot of it is new though, but some of that stuff looks suspiciously like FMV.

 

[Pakkidis]

How do you make some titles BC and others not, I think you guys misinterpretted what he said. ALL titles will be BC.

Nice video there showing

 

[EclipseGST]

ehh,....i only care about the best xbox games anyways..probably 1st party games only.

 

[element]

about B/C, they can always update the playable games via live.

 

[fatty]

I will be TICKED OFF if it is only backwards compatible with certain (i.e. top selling) games. DOA4 does absolutely nothing for me. The "pro wrestling" aspect fits this series perfectly. The WWE (or whatever wrestling now calles itself) is probably talking to bring out DOA4: WWE Diva edition.

 

[Fixed2BeBroken]

funny...one of the DOA4 levels says "Xenon Launch"

 

[BarneyBP]

Same old Team Ninja opening...

Game has hair clipping problems.

The way that guy "rode" the other guy all the way down the staircase to the next fighting level was pretty cool.

Having to dodge those fast moving cars on the streets of Vegas looked amazing.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Jesus! Longest trailer for a game EVER.

Looked like shit.

 

[MoccaJava]

The actual real-time DOA4 footage looks like the FMV in F-Zero GX. I am not impressed.


Some of the FMV, while good looking, looks really creepy. They showed this little Asian girl sitting, and blinking her eyes, and she looked like one of those moguies from the Gremlins movies.

 

[shpankey]

this could be the most embarrasing console launch ever. ugh. :/

 

[Dante]

Not too impressed with that Team Ninja footage, looks like those shots the other day were real. Hope they got some good stuff coming up because that Ps3 footage blew it out of the water.

 

[Beezy]

Orange T-shirt, grey hoody and black suit jacket? What the fuck is wrong with him?

 

[Ford Prefect]

I know this is unnecessary... but Allard just hasn't got anything on Reggie

 

[human5892]

"160 titles in development" - Allard

 

[Slurpy]

If DOA4 doesn't show a DISCERNABLE difference yet from the previous title, then why the hell show it? Why keynote it with the new system? Even with the shit feed I can tell its the same damn animation, pretty much same models, and a non-existent lighting engine.
How does this show off the system?

 

[vatstep]

How do you make some titles BC and others not, I think you guys misinterpretted what he said. ALL titles will be BC.

QOTY

 

[GhaleonEB]

Shit, this is word for word with the GDC keynote!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[VALIS]

Allard: "25 to 40 titles this year, 160 currently in development." (for 360)

 

[trmas]

Allard sounds like a freaking beggar. PLEASE buy our stuff. PLEASE!!!!

 

[Socreges]

Is J Allard talking about harvesting human energy? I don't follow

good. it froze. haha

 

[EclipseGST]

1 billion....hmmm...probably includes family in household number..heh

 

[SKluck]

"We are going to reach 1 billion people with our medium". WTF DOES THAT MEAN?

Anyone know if the hi stream is stable now? I'm afraid to try it.

 

[Chipopo]

...did he just say 1 billion people?

 

[siege]

So far, Allard's wardrobe choice is the best thing about this conference.

 

[golem]

funny how people can already judge graphics watching a stuttering, low res stream

 

[aoi tsuki]

i set the buffer to two minutes just to make the low stream watchable.

DoA4 = DoA 3 Ultimate Tornado Pack

 

[Uter]

How disappointing.. HD ERA AHOY!

 

[Dan]

*rolls eyes*

Sorry Allard, not every 18-34 year old male "craves" a game that lets you fight with big-titted women.

 

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

I smell a completely boring 15 minute XBL sales pitch comin' on.

 

[Barrage]

IT'S RUN ON HUMAN ENERGY???

OMG. It's the cannibal system!

 

[methodman]

Is J Allard talking about harvesting human energy? I don't follow

good. it froze. haha

:lol :lol

I was thinkin the same shit

 

[human5892]

Haha, "360 will push gaming back into mainstream".

?

 

[Ryudo]

That ryu hayabusa footage is the best i have seen yet.

 

[PanopticBlue]

MS is blowing it fucking bigtime...they better bring it and quick..doa4 ps3 owned total

the audience should have booed at doa4 it really does look xbox 1.5 :cries:

 

[Slurpy]

'INcredible gaming experience like DOA4'

'Human energy'

:lol :lol

 

[shpankey]

what i need is to figure out how to play the PS3 with the X360 controller and on XBL. best of both worlds.

yum yum chocolate chip honey dip lemmie get a scoop!

 

[Taichu]

I'm sorry, but that Allard guy looks like an alien.

 

[byproduct]

God stop crapping on and show the GAMES!!!
