  1. Well, by hype I mean all the displays in the stores, people cramming in check on preorders and clerks trying to push you into preordering a 360 for the 9th shipment and people talking about camping out at department stores.

     

    I haven't heard anything much about KD except for the release of the sequel recently (and it's nomination for the VGAs).  The  PSP game is getting written off because of the expectedly bad controls.

     

    It's a console launch. When a launch isn't like that, then it's time to worry.


  2. To be fair, IGN has tended to be horrible at reviews, especially wrestling games.  They overrate games A LOT.

     

    Still, I'd expect this to be a solid 8-9/10 for wrestling fans, so I'm hopeful and confident that they got this one right.

     

    Yeah. I don't think SVR last year even deserved anywhere in the 8 range because it was so disappointing because of the crappy Season mode, lacked the good features from HCTP (roster editing), weak roster, etc...

     

    As for the "waiting for another fleeting moment of conditional control", did GamePro actually mean to say that there are too many menus to go through just to get into the in-match gameplay?

     

    It seems like they were downing the reversal system, which was a problem for the last few games, where there would be several moments of just reversing..


  3. I'm not seeing anything screenshot wise for any game that shows anything that couldn't be done on an Xbox now although that singlethreaded bit might be some reason for that. Plus all the games are supposedly still running in 30fps, which for such a powerful machine is kinda sad.

    Dude, I don't know where you got thsoe ideas from, but they are just patently incorrect.

    I've seen the screenshots of most of the launch games, and aside from a few screenshots which are impressive, most of the stuff I've seen looks like it could have easily been done on the X Box or any other console now.

     

    As for the 30fps thing, Its in the thread over on Joystiq about Madden 2006 on Xbox 360 only running 30fps. The PS2/X Box versions run at 30fps, and yet you've got a supposedly much more powerful console running a supposedly built from the ground up version of Madden and its still running 30fps.

     

    the thread on Joystiq

     

     

    This -is- EA we're talking about. They half-ass anything they can.


  4. A couple of our guys went to see it a few weeks ago and they say it's teh game the 360 was made for. "Fable-beater, hands teh fuck down" was what I was told. So there ya go.

     

    That's what I like to hear, although now I'm impatient for Nov. 22 so I can fire that baby up :)

    (Or whenever Oblivion gets its release, I even kinda hope it gets pushed back just so they can make it as polished as possible.)

     

    They've been working on it for a few years now, so I think it should be polished enough.
