i thought they said this is definitely not happening

2/19/2008 12:28:36 PM

as someone who has a 64 from craigslist with 007 and Mario Kart for the sole purpose of playing those two games still,

it's still fantastic 10 years later

2/19/2008 12:30:08 PM

Actually the graphics and controls are pretty shitty going from playing a 360 to it was hard. Mario Kart is still fun as hell tho.

2/19/2008 1:03:09 PM

Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros for the N64 are on my top 10 games of all time list.

2/19/2008 1:22:16 PM

no doubt bout it now its goldeneye

2/20/2008 11:20:29 AM

where are these pictures coming from?

2/20/2008 12:35:57 PM

ive got a sweatpants boner going on right now

2/20/2008 12:43:12 PM

I don't know where those screenshots came from, but I was gonna guess the Goldeneye:Source mod for Half Life 2.

That is, until I heard the Microsoft was playing the Goldeneye music before their press conference that's being held right now.

2/20/2008 2:40:13 PM

i guess those 'screenshots' look so shitty cause they're not complete?

it would be a pretty sweet XBLA game if they could compress Goldeneye in that...that would IMMEDIATELY jump into the discussion of top 5 360 online FPS games

GEARS OF WAR 2
NOVEMBER 2008

2/20/2008 3:31:11 PM

the first pictures are being released as puzzle pieces per day as a top secret annoucement thing or whatever

video game board nerds put the pics over the emulated screenshot of Goldeneye

looks like it matches up perfect

2/20/2008 3:32:07 PM

^aah ok that makes a lot more sense

2/20/2008 3:38:12 PM

good news for me cause i didn't play goldeneye in my youth

Worst kept secret of the GDC. However, I will admit I enjoyed the trailer.

I dont remember if you get mp5 on that mission or not... but the end looks like it might be.

I thought XBOX already announced that Goldeneye, the full-game with online support, would be available for download on Live in the future.

The official announcement and the trailer were both new yesterday, but you know everyone was expecting Gears of War 2 this fall. The guys on IGN's Three Red Light Podcasts (decent time killer during work) have been talking about it since before Christmas.

2/21/2008 9:47:13 AM

It is obviously a KF-7 Soviet.


OBVIOUSLY.


(all my knowledge of guns and weaponry (fictional or not) I have learned from video games)

2/21/2008 11:52:19 AM

definitely the soviet. you don't get the MP5 (D5K deutsche) on facility.

2/21/2008 12:48:35 PM

But you do get those dual silver pistols. I raped face with those.

2/21/2008 4:43:48 PM

lost odyssey gets a lot better as you get further in. bout 14 hours in now and enjoying myself. enemy design is really nice and it provides a nice marginal challenge. you get a medium amount of decent random encounters instead of 1000 easy ones.

2/21/2008 11:02:44 PM

OK, that Ninja Gaiden movie is just SICK. My jaw nearly hit the floor when he pulls out the nunchakus and does that insane multi-enemy combo.

2/22/2008 8:08:30 AM

my dog is grounded now.

2/22/2008 11:47:00 AM

wow, I'd be pissed

2/22/2008 1:01:45 PM

eh, he was probably playing halo and got tired of being called a f*#@ing a#@ ni##@r d&C*face c&#tlick#@ and did what everyone else wishes they could do

just tear the shit up

2/22/2008 1:11:11 PM

Yikes. My cat chewed through my Wii sensor bar wire and knocked some controllers of the table, but this is way worse than that.

2/22/2008 1:17:28 PM

haha that sucks dude! Mine chewed the litle fuzzy part off of the earpiece and got a whooping. He would be fucked if he did that. Best of luck buying a new one (dog or headset)

"GoldenEye 007 XBLA remains cancelled Microsoft says it, no matter what you read out there Breaking news! GoldenEye 007 was in development for Xbox Live Arcade. Even more breaking news! The project was recently cancelled. We know. It’s even less funnier than playing Assassin’s Creed for five hours. But some people seem to actually think that those stories are a big scoop. Otherwise, there is no way to understand all the hype around one simple screenshot revealed by Computer and Videogames today, after a long and dramatic delay of several days during which they have been gradually unveiling little portions of the same picture while asking their readers what it could be. Well, it is GoldenEye 007. It was obvious since day one. So what? It’s not like we have never seen a screenshot of GoldenEye 007 for XBLA. There has been a massive amount of information about that game raining without stop for the last month and a half. There have been plenty of data and even a long length video online. And the first screenshot was actually leaked on November 2007, as soon as Microsoft cancelled the game. Yes, cancelled, as it remains today. Apparently everything started because of a news article published on the British magazine Xbox World 360. These people say they have played the game, they offer hands-on impressions, a bunch of new screenshots and, basically, according to CVG, they “tell us all.” The rhetoric questions that they throw around are things like “how different it is?”, “what improvements have been made?” and “what does it feel in the 360 pad?” Welcome to the year 2008, people. We all know the answers for all that since mid January at least. Still, just in case they try to make users believe that this game is going to come out next month, here is an official statement from Microsoft and Rare about the issue: “The story planned by Xbox World 360 is based entirely on rumor and speculation. Unfortunately, we were never contacted by the publication to confirm information or participate in the story in any way, as we would have confirmed there are no plans to release GoldenEye 007 on Xbox LIVE Arcade.” So, it’s been fun to talk about it for a while. But it is what it is."

Mine got a good bit of it and then worked on the rb buttont pretty good.

After seeing demos of Bionic Commando from GDC, I have to say that my excitement for this game is growing steadily. I was very skeptical of how a 3-D version would work, but so far it just looks incredible.

Between Bionic Commando, Ninja Gaiden 2, and Gears of War 2, this is going to be a hell of a year for action games.

2/27/2008 12:13:26 PM

so no Goldeneye huh?



FCUKKKKKKKKKKK

2/28/2008 8:43:27 AM

the target in cary has the orange box for 40 bux and if you pre-order gtaiv you will get a free face plate and 360 cover

2/29/2008 8:31:37 PM

Force unleashed, is a game i will wait 2-3 days to buy to see if you guys say the controls are good, and i will probably buy it regardless after those 2-3 days.

2/29/2008 9:41:13 PM

I work at UPS, and I've had to send a 360 off before so I know what the box looks like and where it goes, and I usually see 4-5 broken/repaired 360's every day going to/coming from the repair center in Texas (saw 11 yesterday). That's a lot of fucking 360's.

2/29/2008 10:21:48 PM

^^I'm waiting to see how the lightsaber controls are on the Wii on that one. I will be willing to give up some graphics if it means the saber battles are awesome with the Wiimote.

3/1/2008 11:01:38 PM

^When Nintendo first showed off the Wii, I was hoping for something like that. After playing one, I think that a decent lightsaber game would be near impossible.

The motion controls are nice, but not precise enough to make it that realistic.

I'd much rather take full advantage of Unleashed's three physics engines than some shitty motion controls.

3/2/2008 12:25:23 AM

Anyone playing Lost Odyssey?

My friend's got it, and i've never been a big RPG fan, so I can't really critique it on that level, except that it's just like any other RPG to me. It does have a BUNCH of short stories interspersed with the game play, and I do actually find them kind of neat, and they add meaningfully to the game.

Also, I get the idea that the people who made this game weren't actually Japanese, but they tried to make a game that was like a Japanese RPG, and didn't quite get it right (which the commercial for the game exemplified perfectly).

Well maybe they were japanese that tried to make an American game.

3/2/2008 2:08:42 AM

People are working on a Goldeneye mod for Crysis. At their current rate of development it should be out sometime next century.

3/2/2008 10:05:26 AM

i wrote an assload of comments about lost odyssey already. its fun and is very japanese.

[Edited on March 2, 2008 at 10:55 AM. Reason : 40 hours in and just about at the end. didnt do all the sidequests though]

3/2/2008 10:55:14 AM

I ended up playing that game where you can get 1,000 gamerscore/achievement points in like a minute 30 seconds...Avatar: The Burning Earth

i didn't even try to see what the game itself was about though, it probably sucked

also played some of that Frontlines last night...its pretty cool how there are so many people in multiplayer boards, and how you have tanks and choppers, as well as drones...dunno though, its no COD4

3/2/2008 3:18:18 PM

im giving it another chance. the lag issues seem to have toned down a bit on the multiplayer demo. having played it more it would be REALLY fun if you had a dedicated group of friends to group up with since the group dynamic matters a lot more in this game than halo or cod4.

just played a 50 person game and it was pretty redunkulous

3/2/2008 6:09:21 PM

I may have been living under a rock for the past few months, but what about this "Left 4 Dead" game, where you can play as either a survivor or a ZOMBIE?

I've kept up with this thread, and don't remember anyone talking about it...

seems like it could be interesting, slated for a late third quarter 08 release I believe

3/3/2008 8:53:03 AM

^It's being made by Valve meaning it will probably be a lot better on PC then it will on 360, but it is a online co-op style play where you either play as one of four survivors (I think each with "specialties") or one of various types of Resident Evil style zombies. I say Resident Evil style, because they aren't just traditional shuffling/moaning zombies, there are different types with different abilities (One has a giant tongue to whip people with, one is really fast/has claws/whatever, one is giant and really strong, etc.). As survivors you have to make it through a section of a city while relying on your 3 other teammates and as zombies you have to coordinate to bring down the humans.
