You're kidding, right? As good as that clip looked, I was CONVINCED that it was a Cut-Scene ONLY. I am going to head over to the NBA2k boards to see for myself.

It's not a cut-scene.

As far as I can tell it's still up for debate as to whether or not it's a cut scene. Seeing as it's highly unlikely that there will be anything playable on the E3 floor, we probably won't know for a few more months.

Actually, Microsoft said there will 5 games playable on the floor, not sure what games though.

I doubt any of those titles will be sports games. DOA4 will no doubt be one of them, PGR3 will be another.

Re: XBOX 360: Initially UNDER-whelmed

i don't think DOA 4 is even close to being done... I think what we saw was the opening cinematic. I think playable will be NFS, Call of Duty, Kameo, Gears of War, Quake, and Morrow Winds. (games that make us OOOOOH, and EEHHHHHH)

I'll be truly impressed when a console has a basketball title that plays remotely like basketball. But if sweaty hair is what you're looking for...

Exactly. After playing 2k5 online today, I just about threw my controller three times.

Re: XBOX 360: Initially UNDER-whelmed

I didn't think DOA4 was that great personally. I'm sure it will be playable.

I meant graphically, of course. I thought that was obvious, since that was the spirit of the conversation. I agree with you about gameplay, and there's no reason not to hope for both.

Re: XBOX 360: Initially UNDER-whelmed

Please read my response to jmood about NFL2k6. As far as Ghost Recon, I could not view it. Do you perhaps have another link to another Ghost Recon video I could see on the 360? I would like to see it.

You've been spending too much time in the NFL boards.

But when you use the word "PLAYS" in place of 'graphics' that is a little mis-leading. I often wonder if people do confuse graphics with gameplay.

But there is no way anyone can convince me that NBA LIVE and the 2k games are "simulations" of NBA Basketball. Fun to play, yes! but they`re not realistic. The closet we`ve come to a basketball sim on this generation of consoles has been NBA INSIDE DRIVE `04.

But getting back to graphics... I`m most impressed with the ps3 so far. But with all the graphics I also want incredible and hopefully extremely non-linear, gameplay. I`m more concerned about how well AI will be on this generaton of consoles. And how well can devz create games that are "NOT" repetitive.

The point is... All the "pretty colors" are nice but if the AI is ******** and its the same thing over and over what good is it?

I want to see something different 'EVERTIME' I play these new games.

Re: XBOX 360: Initially UNDER-whelmed

M$ is going to be in some SERIOUS trouble if PS3 starts showing samples of games that are more visually stunning that what we saw here.

M$ was dealt the death blow already when the PS3 specs came out. I am a PS2 user who realizes the Xbox was a more powerful machine than the PS2. I never really had a problem with that though. But I must say, I'll be sticking with Sony on this one, and their machine clearly is the "better" of the two in terms of technology.

Looks like Microsoft's new battle with be with Nintendo and those Plug N' Play things.

Sony fanboy wishful thinking. Dazzled by specs? Well we did get parts of this country from the American Indians by trading them shiny beads. Now back to your tech demos and visual targets.

You can't argue with the fact the PS3 is a more powerful machine.

Just like you could argue with the fact the XBOX is more powerful than the PS2.

Those are the facts. You can like whichever system you wish, but the power is with Sony this time around. Granted, it will probably cost 50% more than the 360.
