rofl where'd you find that, and more importantly, why is it not allowed between 12-12 eek:

I along with 2 of my buddies bought one on launch day, and haven't had one problem with the system. The emulation for the xbox games is still in its early stages, so bugs are expected. This is the case for any emulation software. Halo 2 ran faster for me than it did on the xbox, and seeing it in hi def was a treat, but the game choked when playing it on split screen with 2 other people.

I have Perfect Dark, CoD2, Condemned, and Gun...and they all are pretty good games.

^ link to my gamer card, hit me up if you want to get owned in CoD.

Are the games more expensive now for the 360 or still roughly 50 bucks?

why did you get the gun 360 version when its exacty the same as the xbox version you tool.

Its the version from the original he has. eek:

no because the xbox version of gun doesnt give you the achievements bullshit like the 360 version hence it being on his live card ting'

59.99 per game.

Just tried the demo unit in town today, played cod 2, king kong and kameo. Cod 2 runs well enough, looks about the same as the pc version, had no antialiasing applied though so it looked very rough around the edges.


Full game has the fsaa, demo has it missing for some reason.


Kameo just seems pretty weird, couldn't really get into the dmoe of it at all. King kong looked a bit btter than the pc version, only problem was i couldn't figure out how to access my tommygun and ended up watching one of my guys get chomped by the t-rex.


Controller has a nice feel to it, i never realised the top of the controller has 2 buttons kinda like r1 and l1 on the ps2 controller, i just expected there to be 2 triggers like the original pad but you have the triggers and 2 additional shoulder buttons.

Didn't really notice any force feedback on the controller, might be disabled on the demo units though.

It has MORE buttons? eek:

I think that's half the reason why I don't like console games. Too many fucking buttons to manage.

Gimme UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, A, B, X, Y. I can handle that.

L1, R1, L2, R2, Analog sticks can go suck a fat chode.

I think the 2 shoulder butons might be the replacements for the white and black button on the original xbox. Never really paid much attention to the controller to be honest. biggrin:

I bought Gun for 360 because of the slightly enhanced graphics + hi def, not to mention the fact that that I don't have the original xbox anymore eek:

Go die

we got the 360pod thing in the games shop i work in yesterday, cod2 pretty average and not showing potential of the hardware, then after we shut we put codemned on, and damn its fucking hot looking, lighting/graphics/w/e better than doom/half life/fear and its one freaky game. was pretty awesome on the hd samsung screen its on, fucking eh.


woo tomorrow we get in perfect dark zero, amped 3, quake 4, etc etc to play after work



i didnt want a 360 too much before, now i do cry:

When i was playing cod 2 demo i heard a couple of guys behind me oohing and aahing about how great everything looked in it, up close to me it looked ok but the jaggies really made it look bad. When i went to where they were standing when some other guy was playing it looked really good though, probably the same lcd\360 pod setup thats in statecs place, has some weird little reset buton on the front so you can reboot the console and pick a demo or a video to watch.


One thing i noticed was theres no aniso filtering in any of the games, so bacially textures lose their detail and get really blurry a few feet ahead of you in any of the games, pretty noticable in pgr3. So instead of looking like the pic on the right, it looks more like the pic on the left here:

Don't really know why they didn't include it, pc games the performance hit is tiny nowadays, and with the 360 having a totally new gpu powering it the hit would have been nonexistant.

might just be with certain fast-port-games like call of duty, which looked ok (comparable to decent pc call of duty 2) but with condemned it looked amazing, ill see how quake 4 looks on it tomorrow, but im really looking forward to perfect dark zeo and project gotham if we get it in tomorrow rock:

Im thinking about getting one, if i can find one.

Is it really worth it, or should i just be patient and wait till PS3 is released?

if u like xbox and want all the sequels to games on xbox then get the 360. but the smart thing would be to wait, and see what sony comes out with before making a decision.

what do you think sony is going todo then fool, gt5235235, metal gear solid 4234234, killzone 34143252 blah blah blah.


Id wait until the ps3 comes out to laugh and then buy an extremely cheaper xbox360 with a huge array of decent games and with a copy of halo 3 which will most probaly be released when the ps3 will be.

I stopped by Future Shop yesterday to get a movie and got my hands on a 360... Played COD 2 for a few minutes, which I thought was awesome... I wasn't really interested when I just heard/read about the game but now I am. Tried King Kong too, it was pretty interesting.

Man I wasn't really that interested in the Xbox 360.. but after getting my hands on it I'm thinking about getting one really soon. Then again though, there's been a lot of shit about glitches or stuff so I might wait a while. Still, I'll probably wait until April or so to get one along with Halo 3 and Oblivion.

From what i've seen in screenshots and video clips, perfect dark zero looks extremely shitty (graphix wise)

what I mean was if he previously owned an xbox and got into some of the games on there a lot and wants to play their sequels he should get the 360. Sorry i wasnt clear enough.

I'm pretty sure there'll prbably be plenty of non-sequal games coming out for the 360. From what I've heard plenty of Japanese developers who ignored the original Xbox are jumping on board to develop games for the 360... I'm usually not that interested in Asian-type RPGs or other games like that but that's not the point.

I think ill just save myself 400+ bucks and not get either of these faggy consoles.

its worth it imo. dont have neough for a good computer or to keep upgrading mine so thats pretty much my only choice.

screenshots compressed to a small resolution image that is of poor quality. cant judge until you play.

Exactly, look at your PGR3 sig, fucking amazing.

Play pgr 3, then look at the road when you;re driving along, just ties in with that post i made earlier in this thread about it having no anisotropic filtering. Anything a few feet ahead is just blurred and lacks any real detail.

Kinda gay considering the console is more than capable of running it with the filtering enabled.

The first few games for any system usually dont harness the power, you gotta wait a year or so before you get the full fleged abilities. Look at the PS2, first few games were so ugly, now if you look at some games coming out they look really good.

which is what everyone should do and the system will be 150 bucks cheaper, prob have some sweet value pack with a game or 2 included.

Thats true but the thing is ms took a pretty dumb approach to this, they hyped antialiasing to get rid of jaggies, it does but thats only half the battle. People have had fsaa and aniso on pc's for years now, aniso provides a large increase in graphical quality as well, perhaps more so than fsaa in some circumstances but without the performance hit.

Just seems for the games so far they wree really focusing on the jaggies and forgot about anisotropic filtering. Hopefully people develop games for the system with aniso enabled .

Pretty much, but im a gadget whore so ill get one ASAP when they are easily available

Im flogging my original xbox this week sometime, gonna maybe buy a 360 in the january sales. happy:

God knows, i need another console to become a dvd movie only machine. oOo:

Yea I have a pS2 and gamecube collecting dust. Ill play them when Im really bored but ffs Single player consoling = ghey

Exactly, i fucking cannot stand FPS' on consoles, controllers are annoying for that type of gaming. Now Thirdperson, sports, and racing are all leet on consoles.

I dunno what it is for me, i bought the original xbox on launch day with like 4 games, a dvd remote and another controller. Played it for a couple of days then after that i played it only now and again. Halo was what kept me playing it in co-op with a friend and was a good laugh getting through the game. Halo 2 we played a bit then kinda got bored of it.

Since ive had a pc ive become a fps whore i reckon, just prefer playing with a keyboard and mouse, playing with a jopypad its like having your arms chopped off since the movement is so clunky.

I hate using fag ass analog sticks to aim. My thumb will start going ape shit trying to aim precisely.

Same, my thumbs spaz out when im trying to aim lol

biggrin:

Same as me with cod today, trying to aim i iron sights with the rifle, sitting muttering fuck fuck fuck to myself trying to get it on target.

Might explain why there was a 6 foot space between me and everyone watching, eek:

people were probably thinkin "wtf muttering crazy guy on xbox 360!!"

Can someone tell me if all of the games for the xbox are backwards compatible on the 360 or just a few? I got $20 riding on this
