jmole: LOL. It's so true

LMAO @ The Killers. I like them and all but that was kind of stupid. Like 1/3rd of that was actually live.

[Acezo]

but didn't he say that 50 people could appear on one screen too?

that would be totally chaotic.

or did i hear that wrong?

According to IGN, PDZ will have 64-player online support :o

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

One of the guys from England said that 50 people can play online in PDZ. And that as many players as possible can appear on the screen. The possibilities are endless.. I wonder what Sony will do.

[Help]

hmm.. :/ I actually liked one of the prototype designs better than the current one.. BTW, could someone go through the trouble of posting pics of all the previous prototypes shown in the video? I'd appreciate it. (I don't have access the full show, at least not the modding part of it (pimp my ride))

All the prototypes shown in the colony vid:

All the different covers:

Cool images. Thanks.

Test Drive Unlimited

When driving online, players will see other 360 gamers driving around the island and can challenge each other by flashing their brights. There is a map editor that allows players to quickly mark a start point and an end point on the map and decide the rules of the race. Players can wager money or cars when setting up these challenges. Feel like creating a three hour race where the looser forfeits their ride? Press a few buttons and the work is done. The size of the island means that even in these marathon competitions, players may never see the same stretch of road twice.

More Goodies

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon 3

The game looks incredible from a visual standpoint. The soldiers walked with smooth barely noticeable motion-captured movement, their bodily actions looking less and less like polygonal puppets and more and more like real human beings. The scrambled, dove under cover, crouched, and strained, wielded guns and shot enemies, and all with superb and believable motion. The soldier gear was more detailed, the fatigues was better textured and more lifelike, showing wrinkles and creases, and the facial detail on each soldier showed off a much more believable human expressions.

the damn xbox 360 console is faster than the machines you design its games on. xbox features a processor of 3.2 ghz with 3 cores. The fastest mac as far as i know is 2.7 ghz dual.

There are no dual-core Macs yet.

The processor that Apple calls the "G5" is very, very different from what's in the Xbox 360. It's the same instruction set, but it's more closely related to the Power 5 (with its SMT support).

[Neo003]

I don't know about u guys but I am really looking forward to this one

[Wunderchu]

Dural @ Beyond3D seeded a torrent of the teasers:

I just read that on xbox.com that this machine can do a whopping teraflop.

My 3 GHz P4 can only go upto 12 gigaflops.

I would need 80 P4 machines to match its performance.

[HilariousNinja]

I seriously am amazed at some of those graphics. Though I wasn't surprised with the leaked images. And some of those covers looks essential.

To be fair, I'm pretty sure they're counting all three processors PLUS the GPU in that Teraflop calculation.

Not to say it isn't a phenomenally impressive humber. But you can't make a direct comparison between that and whatever GFlop score your P4 may or may not achieve (12 sounds high for a P4).

[Quickstrike]

The new four-trigger controller actually looks pretty good!

I think I might like it better than the 4 horizotally laid out buttons on the back of the ps2 controllers.

[TheLegendOfMart]

WOW i just watched all the videos and i have to say im very impressed, xbox360 is going to be something special, im even more hyped now.
