Just got back from a 4 day company trip to Ottawa, in which I saw around 80 games that are coming out this holiday season including the 360. Before i start my review of the 360 i just want to say that whom ever has the license plate "HIPFAN39" ...your car is the shit! Saw you on the 416- 417 on saturday..small world.
So at this conference we do vendor classes all day (eg. sony, midway, m$, ea etc) for 2 days straight (24 hours of class) , then do business stuff which drains the life out of you. At night we are taken out to a bar/clubs by one of the big 3 companys. Sony rented out a club and got us SUM 41 on the first night. They actually put on a really good show, i was impressed. M$ took us to a bar (empire grill) to show the 360...
We got to see a Perfect Dark Zero which only some ppl got to see behind closed doors at E3. So the game is a first person shooter, co-op online and im pretty sure offline as well. The game looked amazing, for not even being finished yet. The walls in the game were actually "wet", the explosions were great as well as the character models and the interactive environments. After seeing this game it actually makes that madden pre rendered video believable. Thats how good it is.
The night of the vendor show (e3 type thing) i got to play Project gothem 3. The cars look well like real cars, the citys look terffic and i was playing on a friggin beta kit. There was a bit of "jaggies" in the game (you could see polyies) but the game is 2 months from being released so the polishing stage is not yet complete. The game played amazing, i mean the controls on this racer was top notch. Its an arcade racer feel, i didnt wipe out 20 times like i do in Gran turismo.
The only negative thing i could say about the system is the controller. I actually like the first xbox controller much better. Reason is that the 360 controller feels and looks cheap up close, not like the pictures. Its a smaller and lighter which might be part of it.
So all in all this systme is going to rock, all though M$ doesnt know how many will be build before xmas
This thing is a dream, i love the fact that you can watch TV through it and while watching Tv if one of your friends gives you an invite a little cirlce will pop up telling you so. Also i cant belive your PSP can hook into the system.just weird. :thumb:
