In their defence, they ARE giving devs more leeway and freedom now.

Yeah, it's still coming out on the PS3, the 360 version will just be a port of it. Likewise, FFXIII 'Versus' (apparently a sidestory set in the same world) is still PS3 exclusive (and full of emos and zippers) so this really doesn't effect PS3 fanboys at all save that it's somthing that morons from the other camps can rub in their faces over its lack of exclusivity. But hey, more money to the devs that make the games they love and they complain? Other peoples children.

Off a cliff. Guffaw.

And if you disagree he fight you! Fight you good!

Yeah! They should release it as an expansion. Only, it's a very big expansion so they should do it at retail, and it IS a lot of content as well as being a long time in development so it is only fair to charge full retail price, and it is a sequal in story, features and multiplayer as well as having an updated engine and rewritten netcode so we might as well just put a '2' on the name. But WE know it's just an expansion.

Yeah, pretty much. Gee, that would probably have been an easier way to describe it in the first place. Too bad it's the minority of games that actually support it at the moment.

Boohoo, no new graphics, it's got it where it counts.

Did someone say coop?

Yeah, I was talking to you. Before getting a 360 (which took a lot of persuasion) I was pretty much in the same camp as you, it was really using the controler (playing Lost Planet) which sold me. As you say, compared to the controlers i'm used to (sorry, but the Duelshock is horrible) it is very usable. The convenience really can't be understated though, given the intigrated friendslist, voice communication and matchmaking, it's hard to go back to online PC gaming just because of the pre-setup and coordination required. Again, this really isn't somthing I appresiated before I got a 360, even if it makes me 'lazy'. Guesting is where you can put more than one player from a console into an online game. EG, in Halo, you can actually have 4 players in an online game playing off the same console. It would be an instant seller for the 360 version of Dead Rising for myself and Llyranor because we have people constantly around who'd want to join in. If you don't have any friends it's irrelivent though.

Jagged Alliance 2, Silent Storm and Xcom show how that kind of Combat should be done. Fallouts take on it was pretty crappy to my estimation.

Gears 2 has 5 player 'last stand' with guesting. All I needed to hear.

WHY DON'T I HAVE ANY LEGS?!

Lly and I are getting it for 360, and I guess a couple of the other morons are too. I understand your sceptesism of this, but it's hard to really understand why until you've actually experienced it for yourself. The coordination and convenience easily outweighs the learning curve for the controler where we're concirned, and that's even eithout guesting. Also, if Orange Box is anything to go by, a Left4Dead PS3 port is risky, since Valve arn't doing it themselves (last I heard). EDIT: The idiot squad cares not for Bad Company.

Thing is then, purely on gameplay, it isn't a fallout game, any more than Halo Wars is a Halo game (for example). But if it manages to actually capture the atmosphere of the original games (which is possible), as well as the roleplaying elements (which is not) then it is a worthy fallout game, so I get what you are saying. Problem is that even if it's IN NAME ONLY! It's still got that name, and Beth are going to keep on trying to push their innane conversation minigames on it. Which is a pity since, ultimately, the RP/talking elements were one of the things that made Fallout good (combat? graphics? music? hahahahahah).

That really depends on what you define as 'Fallout' then.

Eat lightning! Yeah? Eat chainsword zzzZZZZZZffffttttttttsplorch. and then I came.

Hey, that gameplay actually looks pretty nice. fanboy bitching in 3...2.... OOOPZ, I SAID BITCH, I MUST BE TROLLING!

'There is no point for Final Fantasy 13 to be on the Xbox 360. Final Fantasy 13 should only be on the PS3. End of story!' I didn't know Volo cared.

They've got Sacrifice, Giants, Freespace 2 and Operation Flashpoint up there, so i'm going to take it as red that they know what a good game is.

Over in north London we call it 'Mordor'.

When will they all just learn to get along.

At any rate, cooooooooop makes this game godly.

I'm not sure that netflix even operates in the UK and if this 360 system will be available here either. If it is, it would be tempting. I can't be bothered with the DVDs, but steaming movies to my 360 would be very nice.

Ooops, looks like you're right, i'm out of date. Good stuff. It does look like movie sharing requires everyone in the party to be a nexflix subscriber though. Boo.
