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

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.

Your wrong, Metal Gear Solid 2.

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.

    • At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
