the MTV xbox 360 thread

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.

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 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.

[Evi]

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.

[§ôµÏG®ïñD]

I thought you hate mtv mm?

[Evi]

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.

[Evi]

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.

[Evi]

It was pretty lame. PS3 anyone?
