the press is loving the builds they got to play with..
the screenshots all over the web look amazing on it.. as do the highdef movies posted..
The gameplay is pretty damn fun. When I played it a Zero Hour it was single player only and I quickly got off of it. But the multi is fun,.
However the graphics and framerate need a MAJOR overhaul. I also was hoping you could play w/ONLY human people and no AI, but i'm not sure if thats going to happen.
I personally thought the graphics were fine. What happened to "graphics don't matter, gameplay does?"

I think the graphics are just fine, as well. No, they aren't jaw-dropping, but I certainly wouldn't compare them to the PS2 either.Originally posted by: erwos

what kinda TV does Purbeast have?
hell im still on a regular 35 inch TV with componant input and 360 looks great even in non HD...
as for no bots aitn gonna happen.. they said they did it this way on purpose..
8 player max but each team can have an ARMY of NPCs... they say it keeps the lag down yet makes the game incredibly active...
they said even a 2 man war can be huge...
There are some title updates that were released earlier today. Here is the complete list:
King Kong
Xbox 360 Arcade: Smash TV
Toryumon
Xbox 360 Arcade: Hardwood Hearts
Madden NFL 06
To get the update, you?ll have to be connected to Xbox Live and start the title.
I do not have details on what each of these update contains, but I?ll see if I can get that get information from the individual publishers.

I have a 50" DLP. The outfit just has a crappy framerate and graphics at this point, but I'm pretty sure thats from an early build. It doesn't look much bettr than someone we could see on xbox or ps2. I saw a lot of pop-up issues with buildings and walls that weren't even too far away. But again I'm pretty sure its just issues because the game is from an early build.
Regardless of the graphics and stuff, it's still pretty damn fun
Three somewhat similar games (3rd person shooters)...Originally posted by: purbeast0

The Outfit (Xbox 360)
Mercenaries (Xbox)
SOCOM 3 (PS2)
*shrugs*... I still say The Outfit looks significantly better.

Microsoft has released a mandatory patch for Xbox 360 title Dead or Alive 4 that does not add any extra content to the game but instead merely fixes a number of bugs, in a move which seems to contradict the firm's earlier stance on Xbox Live patching.
According to Microsoft the patch, which is automatically downloaded when DOA4 players log on to Xbox Live, is designed to "prepare your Xbox 360 console for future system and title updates." However, no further details have been revealed, and Microsoft did not respond to requests for comment.
If the patch is indeed designed just to fix bugs and glitches, this could mark the first time that console gamers have had to download such a patch - and may also suggest that DOA4 was released before all bugs had been ironed out. Dead or Alive 4 was originally down to launch alongside Xbox 360 in Japan but did not appear until December 29th, with a European release following on January 27th.
There is also the issue of storing the patch data. For Xbox 360 owners who purchased the hard drive bundle, this won't be a problem - but those who bought the "core" system will need to save the patch to memory card and ensure it is inserted at all times when playing DOA4.
With Microsoft keeping quiet on the subject, the question of whether Xbox Live is now to be used as a means of patching bugged games - as well as offering extra game content and online play - remains unanswered.

Does new update represent a U-turn on patching policy for Microsoft? :Q

I wonder if Blockbuster is going to have it in stock....I already spent my spending money for this money so I won't pick it up till next month at the earliest. Even then, my spending money will be between this and Oblivion.
