Thanks (Y) Now for page 2,3,4 :p

question... what is the xbox silver thingy?

585909764[/snapback]

There are going to be two versions of Xbox Live; Silver and Gold. Silver is free and available to all, current Live subscribers are upgraded to Gold.

Those GR3 screens are really nice. This is on MTV tonight, right? It's either today or tomorrow, I know that.

Well the second one is simple. The controller takes AA batteries, if you put rechargable ones in it can recharge when you connect the controller via USB. But you can also use regular throw away AA batteries.

Well I am guessing that the USB cable will let you play while charging, but I wonder if the system has to be on to charge the batteries or will it do it just being plugged into the wall.

I'm going to doubt it, it'd be a major design mistake. What better time to charge the things than when you're not using them? :p Hopefully Microsoft thought all the little details like this through

Sorry I haven't read through the thread (just skimmed) dunno if this has been posted. These are DOA4 shots for the xbox 360 (I believe). Looks pretty tasty.

Environments/Clothing look really nice, but the most noticeable thing is that the character's skins still have that plastic, texture-less look to them :unsure:

It looks like a fighting game that belongs on the Dreamcast. And you do make a good point, the skin should be textured with inperfections and all that jazz. Even this gens games like Silent Hill have excellent skin texturing.

Nothing Special at all.. If this what we can expect from next Gen, then I will stick to PC.

Same as current Gen, just some poly polygons and and larger textures.. that it?

Correct me if im wrong but all First Gen games on ANY console dont look all that amazing, its when the developers get experienced coding for the console when all the tricks come out and games start to look amazing.

Oh it does:Dreamcast. Like ViciousX said above look at the skin textures. There are none! Details are important and when you have 3 PowerPC processors there shouldn't be an excuse.

First of all its the developer thats at fault, not the hardware, if they decide to stylise it in such a way they dont use skin textures then the 3 PowerPC processors dont factor into it.

Secondly Metal Gear Solid 2 wasnt a 1st Gen game.

Apparently they are internal screenshots that have leaked out. Is also sposed to be a concept code running on current xbox dev kit and not the x360 kits. They are apparently waiting the final kits to and then bump up the game to the x360 hardware.

So take these screenshots with a pinch of salt.

Wasnt the hole point of XDK was that developers could cary over their experiense from.

Also, I think GT3 and MTS3 and ICO were a few example of Excellent examples of changes seen in "next gen"

Are we Expecting too much from next gen? has all they hype overshadowed reaity.

    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      By PeterTHX · Posted

      What they really need to do is automatically spell "loses" and "lose" correctly since nobody seems to know how to anymore. Then they blame spellcheck/autocomplete and don't realize autocomplete is just filling in the word for them automatically so it was misspelled in the first place.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By rseiler · Posted

      If someone chooses to continue using SB and therefore goes through the manual intervention in the thread, afterwards the BSOD problem is gone. Whether they then re-enable the task doesn't matter, they're done, though on such machines it might pay to keep it disabled in case the next update (if there is a next) causes the same problem. OTOH, if someone disables SB in the BIOS, the problem is also gone. Incidentally, I noticed that this task exists even on machines that don't support SB. It's just installed across the board...and runs. Doing what on such machines is a little hazy.
