It's a me! Mario!!!!!

epic...

game is pretty cool so far, and for those of you who are confused, you'll get it eventually...

Only beef with the game so far are the graphics, definitely could be A LOT better.

I think they are excellent, they are sub-par for you compared to?

The character models in the cut scenes are a bit iffy but the environments are ace.

Saying that the 360 is now 5 years old and beginning to show it's age. Compare MW2 with the PC for example. The difference even on a 720p resolution is astounding.

MW2 isn't a great example, it's an engine focussed on multiplatform scalability and due to it trying it's best to run at 60FPS across both platforms it's not the greatest looker.

The PC will always be better looking than consoles if you have the hardware, but on consoles exclusive games will always show off real hardware scalability.

In saying that though I definitely think the Sony 1st party devs are doing a better job at showing off the PS3 than MS' devs. On that note though MS don't have the depth of 1st party Sony do and often rely on 3rd party devs to create exclusive 360 software.

My copy shipped today from Gamefly so hopefully I have it in a day or two.

Anyone have any number for how long the SP Campaign is in hours? I am obviously renting it since it is GameFly and just wondering if it is feasible or not for me to even beat it.

TIA, DL

Clocked 13,5 hours here before the credits and mainly only did the storyline and only 2 or 3 of the extra challenges. It's a pretty big singleplayer 'campaign', something you don't see too often these days. :)

Ubisoft are saying about 27 hours. That's not including the side quests and the secret Prince of Persia-esque aeras.

27 hours sounds a little high though. 15-20 hours first play-through and I'll be happy.

hmm yeah, some textures are low res too, but nothing near like DA, that game is hideous on consoles and not to good on PC.

whoaaaa another great moment!! boom headshot!!! :woot:

It lasted me way over 10 hours. 20 sounds about right.

that's what I like to see! 20 hours is quite awesome!

Rappeh your Avatar and Sig are soo distracting me from looking at what you wrote ;). but yeah 20hrs is a hell of a long time! But I can't wait to get it tommorow!

Here's some screenshot comparisons for those who are undecided which platform do get the game on, PS3 or 360 I know I'm torn. I'd say the differences aren't as noticeable as they were with Dragon Age Origins. Maybe it's just me but the 360 version looks a little bit better.

Oh and no, this is not a post to get the fanboys bitching.

After watching the GT review I'm still not sure, just seems like AC 1.5.

I hope I'm wrong.

yeah, you're wrong, just don't cancel the **** pre-order and play the damn game!! :rofl: :rofl:

Now seriously, you won't regret it ;)

You bought Assassins Creed but only rented Uncharted 2. :no:

I got AC2 for ?28.

Show me where UC2 is going for ?2:p:p

Plus I have some moniez now, I was more broke than a hooker on a bad night when UC2 hit.

This is sooo freaking fun.. I still haven't found the tailer yet.. anyone know what icon it is?

nvm I found it.. I also found something annoying.. what's the point of having checkpoints in the mini assasin tomb catacomes when you can't use the checkpoint?

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
