@GodOfSyn I think MS might jump next year, but i think they are probably waiting for the US and European economies to rebound in consumer spending terms. Why launch an expensive console that a lot of people wont want to waste the money on.
@Phil-teh-Pirate Actually there is a lot they could do in terms of graphics power. Better weather effects, true dynamic weather effects, more highly detailed characters on screen at once in real time, better texture mapping, independent physics for each article in the ground, realistic and universal destructible environments, and thats just things i think will still be lacking on the next gen. Those games look great but watch the movement of the bodies, they are great, but they could go much further.
@sugarboy79 Actually, the IRS is ridiculously efficient. If you have issues with the tax code, they dont come up with it, they just enforce it. The First Bank of the United States was more than 70% liquid and was turning a profit for the government, its Charter was renewed once (and then it was called the Second Bank of the United States until Andrew Jackson chose not renew its charter). Just two examples.
The game itself is great, the server issues are not. Im trying to be a little sympathetic bc it must be hard to prepare for this many millions to storm your servers all at once....but that just might be because I like the underlying game itself. Have a doctors appointment in a few minutes thought Id hop on to diablo to play for a few minutes before leaving...but the servers are down for maintenance. They couldnt have done this at say 4am PST instead? Still, im loving the game itself.
God, vanquish with multiplayer would have been amazing. I doubt that game is getting a sequel but I can hope and pray. Of course by the time i got around to that game...i would have gotten pwnd. Anyone who has played that game can imagine what someone truly great at that game would have been able to do in multiplayer. If my dreams of a sequel are answered....the suit mechanics are just fine (a jump feature could be neat if properly done), little tweak to the graphics, and a new playground to romp around in....(you ve been in space, how about a subterrainian fortress?)..
....If they release this on consoles and I can transfer my characters over from the pc...then im sold. Mostly because my laptop is low mid tier and i think a version optimized for PS3/360 would look nice on my tv.
Not even remotely bothered by this. Hoping this game is solid, already have AC3, Darksiders 2, and RE6 on my radar...considering that I am still working on a backlog and wont get to Max Payne 3 anytime soon...not a problem. I like the spring AAA release schedule we have going now.
