Nice find. Gears of War looks incredible.



Epic Games :D


I know, I'm beginning to really like that company :)



I have to admit to being something of an Epic Fanboy since the original Unreal. I even played a lot of their shareware releases before that, like Solar Winds, Jazz Jackrabbit, and others.

I have a soft spot for Epic. I grew up with Cliffy and Co.

For every 5 guys who have their backs to you, there should hopefully be another 5 staring back at you. However, I never use that camera angle, and I'm not quite sure why all the basketball games have reverted to that as the default. Give me the sideline camera, and I'm happy.

true, true but still unless you zoom up close while using the sideline camera the players are still zoomed out to far to really notice the detail. Either way I will be buying one if the graphics are really a step up from the current gen consoles,gameplay is there,has at least 3-4 A+ games at launch and is $299 or below.

Well, I still think the original Unreal Tournament was the best multiplayer DM game ever created so I have the faith in the company to provide good product. I could never get into later UTs though as they got rid of the multi-rocket alt-fire grenade which was the best weapon ever created in a DM game.

btw the rumor is that the Perfect Dark 0 screens are from a much earlier Xbox (not 360) build and that the real PD0 will be revealed at E3. There are new supposedly actual 360 grabs of the game circulating.

I'm betting PS3 won't be released till around Xmas of 2006(spring 2006 in Jap). Just a guess. They might try to rush it out around the same time as Xbox 360(if it isn't delayed). If they do try and rush it I sure won't be buying at launch.

360 this year Sept/Nov. PS3 supposedly mid-next year but Sony is now implying that it may be this year although I think it's just a smokescreen to try to steal some of 360's thunder.
