lol @ clueless celebs + xbox
it almost saddens me to be a gamer all these years, and this is what the industry is reduced to.
i hope "the killers" got paid well. that song isn\'t even recent.
oh wow, they showed some in game footage, and it was all cut scenes!! who would have guess that?
wireless by default, this mean i have to buy corded controllers?
so how much combined game footage? 4 minutes? and about 30 seconds of that not cut scenes?
-
The Killers had more stage presence than the Xbox did, what a waste of money on MS\'s part.
They spent way too long introducing and speaking to celebs when they should have been showing games. The one racing game I saw a whole second of looked very impressive, the rest didn\'t really do anything for me.
I also got a reminder as to why I hate MTV, too many long commercial intervals.
Oh, and Elijah Wood sucked as a host. They should have got Ryan Seacrest.:p
On the bright side of things, I like the look of the console and the new logo.
Off to TXB, they\'re supposed to have some news posted now.
-
well, i will say it\'s slightly smaller than i expected.
however i wanna see a DVI port on the back (not have to spend 30$ for an adaptor) and backwards compatibility before i ever consider buying one.
-
Yeah I was pissed you barely saw the console. Too much talking and a bunch of crap. And it was way to short.

Reveals everything about the console awesome read

Looks like MTV is good for something, check out this page (http://www.mtv.com/games/video_games/xbox/index.jhtml) for alot of XBox 360 game trailers.
Ghost Recon 3, Project Gotham 3, Kameo, NBA2K6, Need for Speed Most Wanted, Condemned, and more. Almost makes up for the show.

yeah man, wtf was that?
They probably accomplished their goal of building some buzz with casual gamers though. So I guess thats a win.

I\'m working with 56k here and just don\'t have it in me to download all those trailers. Found some impressions though:
Need for Speed: Cool!! Next gen feel, nice textures and lighting. Just a car game, but it looked excellent.
Madden: Recut video from the draft. MUCH better cut--sweet animation this time. EA said back then next gen Madden would look even better. This looked EXCELLENT. Better snow, linemen had linemen body this time. Great motion blur. Just wow.
Gears of War: HOLY COW!!!! That guy is from UE3 demo shots from last year... WOW WOW WOW! :droll: Sign me up! The animation and graphics are totally immersive.
PGR3: You GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! That was way better than NFS. Wow! Great lighting, models looked A+, even realish. Wow!
Kameo: Short, but colorful, varied, and a LOT of enemies on one scene. Looks like a cute next gen title.
Ghost Recon 3: I have my doubts if that is real time... but if it is, it blew me away. It looks outstanding. The rendering quality is out of this world, the texture quality is great, and the models are very detailed. Seemed to be very immersive. Blows a game like BF2 or CS:S away.
Saints Row: Looked OK. Not great, seemed bland. But it was high quality rendering and lighting. The models looked like low end CGI people, sort of what you would expect.
Condemned: Looked out of this world. Great lighting. Great animations. RE4 like feel to gameplay, the graphics looked similar to RE, but with D3 lighting/shadowing without all the dark! Did I mention the lighting was great? Only complaint was the weak sauce gun sounds. Tazer was great though! Excellent texture work on people and the slum areas. Felt like I was there. Looks like a fun, but very scary, game.
Quake 4: Not sure if it is a Xbox 360 title, but it is listed on the MTV page. The video is great. Great looking, looks action packed. There are outdoors with large creatures. Does not seem to be stuck inside like D3 and has a lot better art, style, and direction. Really nice. Some scenes were only ok (by high end PC standards, head and shoulders compared to consoles) other parts were just as good as the best stuff shown.
NBA 2k6: Cloth that moves like cloth The rendering on the player (Iverson? James? Hard to see) is great, but the animation is what sticks out. KILLER animation. The environment looks real (backstreet hoops).
Full Auto: Looks like an upgraded Xbox port. FAST, but not as pretty as the other racers. BUT everything seems to explode and there are guns. Did I mention very fast? Looks like a mix of Twisted Metal and Burnout. Looked like it could be done on the Xbox, but it was silky smooth in the video with a lot of stuff and interaction.
Tiger Woods: Looked like a port. Nice rendering and all, but flat grass and low quality color pallete. Looked like it was stuck with 16bit color.
CoD 2: Looked just like the PC.
The Darkness: Looked like pre-rendered but the models and detail were excellent, as were the animation.
Tony Hawk: Another game that looked like a port, but very VERY clean, very smooth, and looked fun. It looked like a game that was clean, detailed, but was more aimed toward a fast/smooth game focused on gameplay than looks.
http://www.gametrailers.com/ has some videos also.
Only title that was bad, imo, was PDZ. All the rest were in these categories:
Ground shattering (PGR3, Gears of War, Condemned, maybe Quake 4 if I saw more of the good stuff)
Great (Madden, NBA 2K6, Need For Speed, CoD 2)
OK for next gen, but not wow inspiring (Kameo, Saints Row, Full Auto, Tiger Woods, Tony Hawk)
PDZ looked like a N64 to Xbox port, then glossed with some new particles and high res and AA (PR shot).

After reading those it seems like I might want to download Project Gotham 3 and Gears of War.

Umm...holy hell shit ass cock bitch tits motherfucker. Gears of War made me shit my pants. That looks like fucking CG...and they cut it off right as it gets good. Me wants next gen BAD!!
EDIT: Most of those games look damn good.
-
I thought you hate mtv mm?
-
Gears of War...go look...look now!!
I thought you hate mtv mm?
I thought so too.
-
Just watched the trailer for Condemned looks awesome.
-
Condemned is freakin\' cool too, but GoW makes me all giddy.
-
The MTV thing.. Oh man what a joke!
Really, MS could have done so much better with those 30 minutes. I wonder how much $ they lost on that useless thing? It made the X360 look bad.
-
It was pretty lame. PS3 anyone? ;)
-
wireless by default, this mean i have to buy corded controllers?
High-performance wireless gaming is here! ... and when they run low, you\'re given ample warning so you can connect a Play & Charge cable for uninterrupted play

Plug the Xbox 360 Headset into the controller for full duplex voice communication: a wireless first.
nice!
edit: <3 the "plug the headset" with the wireless word in the same sentence lol
-

It looks like there\'s something you can open up for possibly more connections.
I didn\'t watch this little event, but from what I\'m hearing, it wasn\'t really all that great. Well, this was clearly intended for another audience.
-
nah, they\'ll force everyone to buy a dongle for component connections, just like last time
-
I want to see PS3 God damn it
-
Most likely, good thing I have no use for those.
Xbox live is the only thing that really matters.
-
Wireless.....what happens when the batteries die in the middle of the game? I ain\'t sold on wireless.

You can connect the controller to the xbox via USB.

Epic said that trailer is about 80% of what they expect the final game to look like on 360.:)

"Power your Xbox 360 system on or off without leaving the couch."
Finally, someone put this in, can\'t tell you how many times I\'ve wished for this feature......and yes I am a lazy fuck
-
It wont change games or insert disks by its own ;)

I want to see 100%!!

I just caught a few minutes of the show between furious bouts of Mega Man. Makes me want to hurl, really. Maybe it\'s the winegums and the coke...
Totally pointless crap so far. It\'s not about the games anymore... it\'s about getting a shout out, buying the masses, fine tuning the brainwash that current generations have already gone through by the media. Fcuk all that, THIS is what it\'s all about... *goes back to Mega Man X*
-
^
mm was right about that
-
Show sucked @$$ but it\'s MTV, I wasn\'t expecting anything much more than a hype fest, complete with moronic band that we can look at for 2 whole seconds before they change to a different camera again.
mm about the DVI port, it looks like another proprietary adapter on back like all modern consoles have to cut down on costs, and of course so we have to spend another $30 for anything above composite. I bet they\'ll support DVI, maybe even HDMI?
-
The whole Xbox 360 "event" was more than disappointing. After watching the 360 video, I\'d think they were aiming at a 6 year old audience level...it sort of dawned on me after that nerdy ass loser screamed Booyah!! I was like "no he did not just do that :stick:"
The faceplates idea is incredibly queer. What about the rest of the console?
-
Myabe im not looking good enough but i only see 2 trailers and both are nothing that a pc cant do currently, or so it seems.
-
I saw the scandinavian or european version of the MTV show..
What the hell? They cut out almost all the X360 stuff.. Instead we had to sit through 25 minutes of gay music. The only time the X360 was shown was in the commercial and when the girl put the X360 on the stand, the game footage lasted no more than 20 seconds (short clips of Fez and his buddies playing PD0).
Did the game footage get cut out because of negative feedback or what?
Microsoft looks more and more like a company run by Benny Hill.

Did Benny Hill have mountains of cash?:p
The TXB staff who attended the MTV show said there was never a focus on games. Perfect Dark Zero was the only playable game at the show and there were only running videos of other games.
I think the event did what it was supposed to and that is make people aware that Xbox 360 is coming (no matter how poorly it was done) and to associate it with MTV, which may or may not be cool depending who you talk to.

Agreed. People expected it too be this huge thing. It was just to show the xbox360 off to the public and thats all.
E3 is right around the corner.
