Yet even more of my claims come true

[Epiphany]

"... expected to be a requirement for WFG2.0" is the key phrase there.

[Musopticon?]

Once the dev studios under Microsoft's wing(a rather greedy and opressive wing :D) start to use 360's power to it's full potential(God of War and RE 4 on PS2 anyone?), then and only then will I be even remotely hyped by any pretty screens. The thing is, that right now every game that's covered in optic caramel, is suffering AI-wise and most enviroments are still just pretty pipes. This isn't exactly what was promised during the mass-hype period.

 

But I'm hopeful that after a few years, if MS has enough patience to not spew out the next consolge gen, we'll see some amazing games on 360.

Like Gears of War, hyped up to the clouds for reasons i don't know.

[mkreku]

But.. but.. It's a fps with super-macho men, oversized weapons and ridiculously over-detailed body armours!! It has to be hyped, especially when all the textures range from dirty brown to dirty grey.. everywhere!

[Fenghuang]

Nah. MS might as well give up consoles and do what they do best, computer technology.

You're hilarious!

I could actually hear the tone you were using for that... scawy.

And tentacles, don't forget the tentacles!

It's so comical to see you all harp on Gears of War, when you haven't even seen what the game has to offer.

What does the game have to offer?

[Musopticon?]

Co-op.

 

And you know what I think of co-op.

[alanschu]

I have a feeling it's very similar to my take.

 

 

If only there was a coop RTR

Judging from the videos, not much. It looks like a solid fps, but it's no Deus Ex, System Shock 2, Undying, Unreal or Halo for that matter.

 

F.E.A.R. had a more interesting theme and gameplay than GoW.

[Hurlshort]

I've seen a lot of footage on Gears of War. It looks pretty, but I'm not sure how effective it will really be. It reminds me of a dressed up Winback (which was a good game!)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

there is! you just have to make the other guy a protectorate.

[alanschu]

What is that?

 

I'm not talking about an alliance....

[Musopticon?]

Well, there's the possibility of faction change. I think there's a mod that allows you to change faction during play. Then you can just send the save to the next fellow and he plays his turn, etc.

 

Or do it like some crazy AAR-guys do and play till faction leader dies and then give the save to the next fellow.

[alanschu]

Not exactly the MP I was hoping for

 

 

I understand the limitations of a large scale, turn-based strategy game like that, with fights that can take up to 45 minutes. But I'd totally be game for playing the GC of a Total War game with a friend.

[Musopticon?]

Yeah, me too.

 

One can wish, you know.

[metadigital]

I see alanschu's thesis project appearing before our eyes!

[alanschu]

Research project....is Rome: Total War Assloads of Fun When Played Multiplayer with Musopticon?? (double question marks? I'm confused there).
