yes, i agree with jumpman, if any of you know of age of empires II:age of kings, the sequel to the series will be their first 3d strategy game. i think it is also going to be one of the first, they may mess it up, they may do it good. but i hope they do it good, cuz i love that series....
their strat. games are just unbelieveable...
developers have trouble going from sprites, to polygons.. its that simple... it makes games look better and run faster when they are 3d too......
IM BACK. you have a problem with that? get in the back.

Oddworld is just going to have trouble making the game good while sticking to some original features. I\'m not saying they can\'t make it good but I\'m just saying its a possibility since other developers have experienced this.

Good point.  It is hard to convert a game from 2d to 3d, and a lot of developers struggle with this.  The Oddworld developers are a very talented group of people though.  They know how important it is to keep the 2d game\'s playability while putting it into 3d, and I\'m sure they have thought about the problem a lot.  They know how important this game is for the Xbox\'s success when it is launched.  We will see when the game is out though.

I said I don\'t care because I\'m not interested because I don\'t know what I\'m getting into with the Xbox you ****ing moron. God I hate it when people attack me for idiotic reasons like that... GGGGRRRR.  Listening to what clues? I just stated my opinion. I\'m sorry if you disagree with it but you can\'t change it. How is it ignorant if I\'m simply not interested for valid reasons? DUMB ASS.


Why would I feel hatred to you?  Frankly I was startled by your Bungie and Oddworld comment since your posts that I have read over the past month have seemed balanced.

"I said I don\'t care because I\'m not interested because I don\'t know what I\'m getting into with the Xbox you ****ing moron. "

Exactly my point.  How does that make sense?  You clearly stated that you do not want an Xbox because you do not know what it has to offer.  However, when Ethugg tells you about people\'s responses to the games you say you don\'t care... because you are not interested in the Xbox?  Don\'t you see the circle there?

If you will not be interested in the Xbox until you learn more about it but then shrug of the information presented to you then why enter an Xbox-related thread?  The only thing you will be able to do is state that you don\'t care and that you don\'t know anything.

"I have no interest in Too Human because I don\'t know enough about and I will not learn more about because I have no interest in it".  That may be an opinion but it is a worthless one and I am sure it would drive you mad if someone said it.

Wow, those Obi-Wan pics suck pretty bad.

but I guess this is LucasArts we are talking about. The last good games to come from them after the long dry spell of pure crap was Grim Fandango and the new Monkey Island game, beyond that, expect crap from them.

These are almost certainly shots from the PC version and IGN even says as much.

How many 3D games did HAL make before they put out Mario 64? Oh yeah, none. :rolleyes:

Oh well. I took the screenshots from Gaming-Age and nowhere did they say they were from the PC version.

NP.  http://xbox.ign.com/news/34310.html  : "Expect a wealth of new information on the game from E3, but for now enjoy previous PC screens of the game below."

"Spinning Sabre Attack" and "Great Lighting and Battle droid death" are the ones that Lucas Arts is showing with their announcement.  Hopefully Lucas Arts have been working on bringing it over since they first canceled Obi-Wan for the PC last year.

Ok your missing some obvious information:


 I have different preferences than everyone else. Good reviews or impressions never make me want to rush out and buy the game. I\'m fucy about games. Only the best gets in my house. That\'s why I don\'t care.

The only thing you will be able to do is state that you don\'t care and that you don\'t know anything(who does know about how the games will play then?).

I\'m not shrugging anything off. The Obi-Wan and Buffy news is bull**** to me and I explained the Oddworld thing. I just expressed my opinion( not knowing how the games will play so no Xbox for me).  Relax. And don\'t mention my immature swearing and insulting in my last post. I was in a bad mood and didn\'t mean to go off on you like that. I just don\'t like having my opinions bashed.

1. I wouldn\'t care what someone else says about that game or any other GameCube game.

2. Its not a worthless opinion if they don\'t know what their getting into.

3. I should point out that I\'m not interested in the Xbox right NOW. My opinions could change since I\'m a openminded gamer. I had the full intention of buying a PS2 last year but decided to go with DC instead since the games were better(and I was once a DC basher too but all that changed).

Ugh, Hal did not make Mario 64, EAD did. Also, did you not read where I said some may make the change perfectly where as other won\'t? I JUST SAID ITS A POSSIBILITY, fool.

Everyone else- You guys have said sooo many things, and I\'m too lazy to address them all, so I\'ll just say this: At this pre-launch, pre-E3 time, I\'m more than happy with the titles announced so far.

You are a troll because every post you make is either garbage or a flame. You are a child and should be treated as such. Someone should take you over their knee. Maybe then you would know to respect your elders.

Peace and Love.

I\'m out.
