Is no one here excited at all?

This thread had already been exhausted.

Only because you ruined it.

[Nix]

and I thought I derailed threads....

Notice it's Rockstar San Diego, not Rockstar North.  North's always put out the GTA series, IIRC.  So, I'm betting this is one of thier little quirky side-projects, sorta like the game that was released based upon a cult-classic movie, that from what I could see, didn't get much praise or attention.  I honestly don't know why a cult-classic themed game would sell well unless it was revolutionary in itself.  Anyways, if Take2 doesn't get itself out of hot water, we'll probably be seeing more and more of these "other" games instead of the ultra-violent, ultra-profane, and ultra-entertaining games that the North studio is known for.

For what, more bullshot?  How many of these damned derailments do we have to suffer through before you understand that we're more mature than getting off on light blooming and high-res textures?  If you can provide evidence that these games you keep whoring out actually provide, you know, innovative gameplay, then maybe, just maybe your presence in this thread would have had a point.  However, if the only tangent that relates your posts to anything that came before it in this thread is the fact that there's a 360 in the thread title, then even new and innovative gameplay doesn't justify taking the discussion into oblivion.

Anyway, I'd chalk this one up to being random.  There's a lot to be said in making a low-budget (relatively) game to test the development environment, if nothing else.  I'm sure there's some ulterior point to the game or the announcement when it's all said and done.

Damn Strat, chill! He's just doing what he gets paid to do.

That screenshot is from the new GTA game. If you beat the chick at table tennis you get to bend her over the table and do the hot coffee thing.

[SadisticSid]

Heh heh heh. 100% PR stunt, although kudos for backing it up with "screenshots". Speaking of which:



Personally, I think this is far more entertaining than plastercene men who look like they've been under a buffing machine.

[aldo_14]

Whatssat, like?

[SadisticSid]

What the 360 displays before it's about to melt, apparently.

[Grug]

And that Rainbow Six game looks aight. Though I think the controls need to be more fear like or something to gain a bit more action.

[aldo_14]

I actually saw an xbox360 on a shop window today - second hand.  You'd think someone willing to shell out such an exorbitant price to buy the thing in the first place would have a bit more patience with it.

[karajorma]

Probably stolen most likely.

[aldo_14]

Probably stolen most likely.

What, they're puting them on shelves now?!

[karajorma]

Depends on the shop you saw it in. There was a store in Hull that never had a heating bill cause it's stuff was so hot

[Deepblue]

I don't get it personally, all of the 360s I've been in contact with are cool to the touch, with the monster-supply slightly warm.

And black is decidedly better than blue.

EDIT:

I take back what I said about RS:Vegas...

BIA and Gearbox have made UE3 a thing of non-generic beauty...



Anyone have any thoughts on what the "r" on the helmets is for? Perhaps a certain someone bit the dust?

I'm really sick of this. Almost all of these games are on the PC and PS3 as well, yet you target me as a "corporate shill" for MS. I didn't want to start a new thread, and I thought some people might actually be interested in seeing what the future holds. Furthermore, none of this is "bullshot" this isn't EA. Furthermore, a B3D member working on Vegas confirmed that the FP screenshots were indeed from the current build of the game.

Yes, I'm from Ubi, and I'm also part of the R6: Vegas team. Unfortunatelly I can't say much because I'm all NDA'ed up, but I know that those aren't PS3 screenshots. That said, XB360, PS3 and PC will pretty-much all look that nice (with minor variants, and I'm personally guessing PC will look a bit better, that's my own opinion though).

I won't be saying any more than has been officially released.  Just clearing things up here. I can't be bothered to correct Fishie over there though, as I'm not a member of that board and I don't have time to make an account just for that. Who'd believe a member with just one post anyway.

argh! I should learn to shut up!

blakjedi: don't quote me on this, because I'm not certain of everything. I've never worked on GRAW nor have I even played it (just seen videos). I also don't want to say much in fear of breaching my NDA. Just consider that GRAW uses a different engine, and that that series is generally geared towards open combat, where R6 is more geared towards close-combat. Naturally, any game that has more close-combat will be able to concentrate more details in the immidiate suroundings. I'd rather not get into more details. :S

mckmas8808: yeah, those are in-game, as stated on several sites. again I don't want to get into details. we're still a ways from release and art direction and minor details are always changing slightly.

Would you rather I start a new fricking thread?

Zuh? That looks like hell, and tell me again why we should care if we can see 'stubble'? Making things look good is one thing, but that's just a pointless damn waste of time and processor power.

Just noticed that.

[aldo_14]

Hands up how many people have noticed the finely bumpmapped stubble on previous FPS/tactical shooter game characters' faces?

anyone?

NB:  you know, deepblue, it's generally considered rather shilling-like to take a thread about one game (very odd game), and then suddenly insert what is effectively an advert for another, replete with a glory-shot.  It's a bit like, if I started a thread about the Rangers game (vs Villareal), and then someone randomly posted a big (huge) picture of the Juventus match and started waffling on about it.

While it's pretty Deepblue, why don't you just, you know. Stop.

Just stop.
