Aaah thanks kintama, don't have a 360 as yet so can't get a hold of the demo. I'd saw some E3 footage and it looked ok but I hadn't actively been tracking the game so it just stuck out like a sore thumb on Nailbiter's list. I know Nailbiter has pretty decent taste and sound opinions on what makes a good game though so seeing that others are impressed with this title as well is encouraging - I'll keep an eye on it. Wink

yeah, played the demo.

they went back to the thps1-4 style and gfx is really nice and the new "nail the trick" is really adictive and the layout of the world is really nice and it has a pretty good music score and create your own player is there and something called hospital bill (rag doll physics!)...well it just looks massive with keeping the good old play, while adding some new adictive things with next gen gfx. looks sweet.

also played the demo of r6:vegas, that i was totally going to pass, but hey its really damn good. its not arcadish which seems to have been the problems with the later games in the series and it looks really, really nice. its like graw but better. playing thru the demo on realistic was really fun. jumping down on a rope and smashing thru a window while explosions echoes thru vegas and a huge ass bell is falling down thru the building you just jumped into is pretty damn cool. Smile

there is previews at teamxbox on both theese demos if you are interested star. http://previews.teamxbox.com/

and then we have cod3. argh i hate november!

nailbiter ; sorry for the long pause between a reply my work shedule is just fucking nuts atm with the ramp up for the holiday season 10:30pm and i just got home from starting at 8 this morning so anyways to answer your Q about COD3 i liked it, its a bit similar to Battlefield, BUT the weapon balancing seems really sorted out.

The THPS project 8 is a great turn around for the franchise the demo build on live is quite old from what i know, i havent looked at it myself and ive only played the game very briefly but alot of people around the way tell me they think its great especially with the open environment and the lines.

you should assume releases are fake until there is proof of them beeing real, not the other way around.
too many fakes around these days.

yeah, as DeMoN064, ProjectX is an Xbox group, they don't do 360 games so it was pretty clear.
Just wait with your [R] next time until it's confirmed, this was the second time you set it to [R] because of a fake release, just confuses people and promotes spam

Mmmm... I can almost taste the Locust horde.

Lets get another gamertag topic going so we can co-op the shit out of this game when it releases.. of course, Deathmatch is a viable alternative Very Happy

The Playstation 3 consumes a staggering 380 watts of power which is more than double the Xbox 360's 160 watts and eight times the PS2's nimble 45 watts.

im not suprised it overheated , its gonna be interesting to see how these first gen Ps3s hold up.
For a laugh read this old story about how good the cell processor power useage will be

Power consumption of the Playstation 3’s Cell processor may be reduced by up to 40%, thanks to new technologies developed by IBM and AMD.

IBM and AMD have employed two different techniques which fall into a category known as ’silicon straining’. Essentially, these techniques allow electrons to travel faster, thereby reducing a chip’s power requirements without sacrificing chip performance.
Cell processor

Incorporating these techniques into the Cell processor could potentially reduce its power requirements by 40%, and may in turn decrease the PS3’s heat output, thus reducing the likelihood of the console overheating.

Xbox 360 users, on the other hand, have already reported problems with the console overheating and consequent system freezes, along with loud fan noise, and the Xbox 360’s power consumption has been measured at a hefty 160 watts.

IBM and AMD have also announced that Cell chips using silicon straining will be manufactured in the latter half of 2006, and that this next generation of chips will use a 65-nanometer process, as opposed to the current 90-nanometer process.

Using a 65-nanometer process will reduce the chip’s surface area, bring the Cell chip one step closer to realizing Sony president Ken Kutaragi’s vision of Cell-powered mobile devices.

I don't know but somehow the game doesn't appeal to me that much, especially the graphics. Everything in the game looks the same, same color, same structures, it's all rather indistinguishable, a little bit of color would have been nice instead of this grey in grey. I know the scenario is supposed to be some armageddon, but even all the characters i have seen so far are all grey. Maybe the coders didn't know that the 360 supports truecolor Wink
