Round up of FNR3 reviews
FNR3 is shaping up to be an A game, seen a few that already have it not sure if some places already shipped it. May just have to pick up a copy myself. Also gamespot is saying 3/3 for the Outfit demo. I know one thing I'm ready for March.
At the risk of sounding like an ingrate, the system really needs its killer app still, and FNR3 isn't that app. They really need to concentrate on getting MGS and Final Fantasy (besides XI[1]) ported over.Originally posted by: jlmadyson

[1] Somehow, I ended up with a copy of this when I got the PS2 hard drive. Haven't even opened it yet.
How dare you, sir! Both are _fantastic_ series. In comparison, I hated Splinter Cell. Must be a matter of taste.Originally posted by: CVSiN
No thanks MGS and FF both sucked ass....
I couldn't be less interested in those two franchises (MGS and FF).Originally posted by: CVSiN

The following is taken from an interview with one of the members of the Microsoft Hardware Development team - Kumar Banerjee.
In-Camera Video Processing
The camera itself is capable of not only receiving the information, but also processing it. It's no mean feat in something so small, and it allows the console to run unfettered, as the image processing doesn't suck up all its bandwidth.
Thirty Frames per Second
The camera is capable of capturing 30 frames per second. If you need a standard for comparison, think about this: Television is displayed at 30 frames per second, most video games are displayed at 30 frames per second (though developers are striving to make 60 the norm), and film is captured and displayed at 27 frames per second.
Stills
Like any good video camera, the camera is also capable of taking still images (with 1.3 megapixels of memory) as well. Your faces can be imported into games or accompany your name on leader boards for even more recognition and fame.
Low Light Performance
We gamers love playing in the dark?most gaming environments have very low illumination, and the camera is designed specifically with that in mind.
Video Chat
To further illustrate the point, he mentioned, "It's not just the camera, we have the microphone as well." The microphone plugs directly into the controller and allows your voice to carry through to the recipient's TV or stereo speakers.
The microphone connected to the Xbox 360 Controller allows group chat, unlike the Xbox 360 Headset. Video chat and video messaging with your friends will become an integrated part of the Xbox Live experience.
Gesture Gaming
The specs for the camera are something to behold, and the ability to hold quality video chats with your friends is just plain neat. But what use does it have in gaming? Banerjee responds with a couple of interesting points. "It will open the door for the future of gesture gaming, and it goes hand-in-hand with the software that's developed for it."
In short, the camera offers developers the ability to add elements of gameplay that could directly respond to your own actions. For example, imagine controlling a squad of soldiers by silently gesturing where to go, instead of issuing a voice command and alerting nearby guards.
This ushers in a new generation of fun online motion detection-enabled games where you use your body to control on-screen characters over Xbox Live. The camera and microphone offer the functionality, so now it's up to the game developers to find innovative ways to implement it.
These two accessories offer us a taste of the sort of innovation the next generation of gaming will bring. Now, let's let our imaginations run wild and wait for developers to do the same.

I definitely agree. You've got to take the sum of its parts, rather than pointing to any one particular game and going "this is the system seller!" That makes it a little hard to sell to other people sometimes, but it's only a matter of time until that big hit game comes out.Originally posted by: remagavon
Like it was said a bit earlier, there is no *killer app* that makes you HAVE to rush to the store to buy the 360. But the combination of xbox live (the xbox live arcade, gamertags/gamerscore, and worldwide leaderboards) along with a very solid lineup of 'A' games such as Kameo, CoD2, PGR3, Fight Night, and to a lesser extent DOA and NFS:MW, makes the system a great buy.

I'm guessing that it'll be Halo 3, and, if the rumors prove correct, WoW. No one's made a really concerted effort to start bringing console gamers over to MMORPGs (well, maybe Square Enix, if we count the $140 in accessories it cost to play FFXI on PS2). The 360 has the right mix of hard drive, speed, and networking to make console MMORPGs a reality.

Yeah, March is hell month for 360 owners. So many releases of good games after such a long drought since launch.
Burnout Revenge and GRAW on the 7th
The Outfit and College Hoops 2K6 on the 13th
Battlefield 2 on the 15th
Oblivion on the 20th
Blazing Angels on the 23rd
Dynasty Warriors, Rumble Roses, and Far Cry on the 28th.

Holy CRAP I didn't notice so many
Burnout for sure, and GRAW for sure and Oblivion for sure.
Everything else I WANT but I'm not sure if my wallet will accept that. Sweeeeeet.
On a side note, anyone else who got fight night, does your game case feel oddly cheap? I know that sounds weird, but I just compared it to all my other games (launch) and they seem "tougher". The fightnight one seems cheap/weak. I had to open the game in my car to make sure the disc was in there.

Highly doubt the source, but if it does come out tonight I'll be AWOL for awhile.
I'm hoping the demo will come out tonight also, but not really looking for it to. I absolutely love the ability to download demos at will for most of the top 360 games now, something that wasn't really prevelant before (without buying a magazine with minimal demos, mostly movies). But I have to wonder if offering the demos isn't costing the developers some money. I've read so many responses claiming that someone will not buy a game after playing the demo, but would have before. Full Auto is a definite example of this.Originally posted by: Queasy

They are doing some updating to Live today. A new Oblivion trailer is available for download along with picture and theme packs.
Keeping my fingers crossed for a GRAW demo.
Yes but, at least for me Fight Night is at the other end of the spectrum. I never would have wanted to buy it if I didn't play the demo.Originally posted by: blurredvision
