They could in the 1st. Did you play it on insane? I got cut up a couple of times.

Yeah, I remember thowing the controller plenty of times because of it. You shoot the hell out of them but they can still run up to you and mow you down, like wtf.

Big careface from me, bought it for the xbox didnt like it, tried it on the PC and didnt like it their either. I'm a big UT fan and tend to like UT engine games in general they just have the right sort of feel to em but I honestly though GoW was the most overhyped POS game I've played in years.

Zero immersion, uninspired graphics and lackluster sound.

WOW! your game taste must suck then if you didn't like this game!

No it couldn't possibly be that he has a differing opinion from yours? or maybe that he does not like this type of game? or hell even not like these types of graphics? No?

I LOVED GoW and eagerly anticipate November but please try and not make yourself look like an ass by making statements such as that above :/

I just watched and that is ****ing hot. I can't wait for November.

Who says the Xbox doesn't have any good exclusives coming this year... :D

You know what is most annoying? People keep saying its going to be Sony's year but i disagree with this comment. Sony still don't have alot to offer this year from last year and if people thought 360's line was bad, PS3's is not better!

I am full of confidence in XBOX360 from now and the whole of 2008 like i have been when it came out. There is just so many great games coming. And Microsoft knows what it's doing.

100 + Locusts in real time?? Where's my chainsaw!

Wow that video was great. I'm already pumped about GoW2 but the new features in that video look like something that will really help the game.

Anyone know if that cutscene editor comes with the unreal editor? Beacuse that looked like it could be a ton of fun. Some Cole-Train and Phoenix dance videos!

I dunno about you but I'm really looking forward to Ninja Gaiden 2 and Fable 2. :)

You do realize that Gears of War runs on the unreal Engine 3

One of the reasons I bought it, always liked Epic games but they somehow took all of the unreal engine feel out of the game. I think it was the camera position that did it.

GoW is one of the few games I really read into the hype over the last few years. I remember reading cliffy b's blogs and couldn't wait for it. When it finally came I was bitterly disappointed. All of the features he talked up about just didn’t exist and the camera that was supposed to make me associate with the character I was playing just made me feel distanced from the game.

That said, GoW did more for Epic than UT ever did so I know I’m part of a tiny minority.

      I always thought the moon gets a lot of impact because there’s no atmosphere, so surely building a moon base is only going to end in disaster?

    • Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams, here is a first look

      Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams, here is a first look by Usama Jawad Microsoft Teams is heavily used in work and school environments, and perhaps one of its core but extremely useful features is the ability to record meetings. In past years, Microsoft has further improved upon this functionality by integrating AI, but you do need a Microsoft 365 Copilot license to leverage most, if not all, all of those capabilities. Now, the Redmond tech firm is making another significant enhancement in the area of Teams meeting recordings. Up until now, if you wanted to access Teams recordings, you had to arduously locate the meeting invite and navigate to the dedicated tab, or go to the cloud storage location such as a SharePoint site. This was a rather overwhelming activity, especially if you don't remember the name of the meeting or the meeting occurred quite a while ago. Microsoft is now attempting to solve this problem through a dedicated Recap app that consolidates all your recordings. This centralized experience will allow users to find all recordings from the past 30 days and also offer access to other related services such as transcripts and AI-powered summaries. Customers will have the option to search for recordings, filter them, and review multiple meetings by generating AI-powered podcast-style recaps. The Recap app will list all available recordings in both thumbnail and list views. The former is shown below: And here is how Teams users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license can select multiple recordings to generate a podcast-style audio recap: Microsoft has emphasized that the Recap app is pre-installed in Teams but it will not be pinned by default. Users will able to navigate to the Teams app store from the left rail, and pin it from the apps section. It will be enabled by default for all users once it becomes available. It's worth noting that while Teams recordings and transcripts can be accessed by all users governed by existing permissions, AI-powered features like intelligent summaries, audio recaps, and video recaps will require a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. The Recap app will be generally available to Teams users on Windows, Mac, and the web by the end of next month, with mobile support coming soon.
