Just like it runs PGR3 and PGR4, Gears Of War etc. . When PGR3 screens first hit the press, they looked just the same as these in here did. as did their follow up game PGR4 . . many saying that no way could those screens be in-game or that the box could never deal with that amount of detail, as well as deal with vast textures, moving vehicle, and debris etc . . . and then they added rain to the mix in PGR4, and still delivered the goods.

We seem to forget way too quickly the merits of other games as new ones appear. The buzz on the net was that Bizarre could not fit everything they wanted to fit on a standard DVD9 it flew around the net like a bird virus, yet there they are delivering every bit of detail, and still have room for more . . .

And MS aren’t likely to just roll over and die, they have another xbox well into development, which may well hit the stands late in 2009 or early 2010, as I predicted a few years ago. Yet all games will still play on it, as they do on current This-Gen consoles.

Many developers have been working with DVD9 now for years, and they are fitting more and more onto them now than ever before due to new techniques. Such as Mega-texturing which use up about 1/4 of the space on the disc that normal textures, so they can in fact add more content than before. Do a google for Mega texturing in games see what you find.

This game looks crazy, how would the 360 run something as advanced graphically as that??

Interesting…I hadn’t heard much about this one. Why oh why New York AGAIN!!! If you look it up on Wikipedia you can see that New York is the location where games have most been set. Now all of a sudden Las Vegas is also climbing the ladder in this category. Arghhhh. Oh well Las Vegas does have some diversity of ‘themed’ locations if they go beyond the casino floors and glitzy strip. There are so many fantastic locations in the world, why must these be so prominent?? Even if you are going to go US location (as seems to be too often the case), why not Seattle or San Francisco? Okay rant over.

Anyway…looks promising.

One of my major pet-peevs is the so-called Exclusive word thrown around, and the flame-wars that ensue from that. And the amount of dribble that comes from people about how this platform won’t be able to do this, or that that platform should never be ‘allowed’ to have it in the first place . . . etc etc etc . . Drives me nuts .

But, as the guy from PSU stated, he NEVER said it was ONLY a PS3 and PC title . . . just that he had an exclusive interview (today some time) with the developers about the title, discussing the PS3 and PC aspects of the game, and as HE pointed out, the title on the official website has always been, and still is listed as a PC only title atm . . .

So where the hell some people get the notion it (and other games) are all of a sudden Exclusive” is beyond me. I think it comes down to the fact not many, if any people actually READ past the first two lines of text on any article . .

There’s several other titles that have been sitting back percolating in the background, and they’ll make themselves known in due course. 2 Days 2 Vegas is definitely going to have the GTA IV party-faithful up in arms . . but the thing is, this is less of a sandbox affair, and more story-driven . . which I thick will be a pleasant change . . .

Oh the memories, back when Xbox360 was the next generation and that big black controller was the norm. This game was what Next-Gen was all about. But it’s so strange that it never appeared, even years after the 360 launched.

And now, here it is. Even as a big batch of eye-candy, this is definately one to look out for. Nice find Oz
