I liked your preview and hence I didn't compare you to Rock_on or call you a fanboy. But lets be realistic here, looking at your post history and the games you own, I've never seen you post anything positive about the 360.

PS. Very few people want Gears 2 to be drastically different from Gears 1 btw. More of the same on steroids is what we're hoping for...

 

 

I love the Xbox 360.  I can pm you my Xbox 360 user name and you can check my achivement history.  The fact of the show floor is, Sony had a great lineup.  This is NOT to say, Microsoft had a poor showing.  Far from it.  Microsoft had a great showing, with titles that will appeal to everyone, however, Sony just edged out. 

The only real disappointment at the show was Nintendo.  I feel bad for Wii only owners.  I'm sorry guys, you can hate me if you want, but its the truth.

 

Thats fair man...the fact you said Wii had a poor showing scores you points in the non-biased column. :)

Only biased people would praise Wii's PAX showing from what ive heard.

Sorry if you feel this way.  These are "best of" awards.  If you have questions about specific titles, please ask.

No PS3 disappointments.....i like it!

Keep in mind that the writer of this PAX impressions topic is a pretty big PS3 fan. Imagine Starcraft writing his impressions...they would be exactly the opposite of this as he is looking forward to more 360 games.

 

I own all the consoles and am putting zero bias here. Sony had a great showing, and most of these games have been in the cooker for years. Don't relegate to labeling me anything. Thanks.

Also, I think comparing you to Starcraft in being his PS3 double is a compliment as he argues his 360 bias very well.

Then again, I wasn't at the pax show and maybe microsoft phoned in their booth.

I am sure GeOW fans wanted huge improvement in graphics and scale and set the bar high again just like first game did. But even after two years of development the diffrence doesn't seem much bigger. And on top of that there are many games already released which look better then GeOW 2.

infamous?
i enjoyed spider man games in which i can jump like crazy. will i enjoy this game?

 

Yes.  The game will allow you to climb walls with spiderman type reflexes.  Also the electric powers that were shown off were really convincing.  The world really reacts to your character.  Take this all with a grain of salt, the game is 9 months away.  It looks great for what was shown though.

Thanks for the great update and impressions on all these games, i know many of us can't wait much longer to play these games.

One game i was looking forward to hearing about was Far Cry2, was this game at the show and did you have time to play or see any of it being played, and if so how do you think it looked and played. Some of the videos seem to have very high contrast settings and i'm wondering if this is being used to hide some weak lighting effects, or graphics on the console versions.

I am not the biggest shooter fan, but I'll do my best to articulate it.  The game had great visuals, lets get that out the way.  However, the gameplay felt unsatisfying.  I can't explain it.  The poor A.I, might have been the issue, or the fact that I just got done with Project Origin, but the game felt like it was a delicious hamburger that had a dash of weak sauce.

No Madworld!  I was so pissed off about that.  No Killizone 2 or Banjo either.

A ps3 fan telling everyone what 360 owners want form Gears of War 2. Thats fresh.

You have to keep in mind the following:

1. Gears 2 looks better than gears 1 from footage we've all seen.

2. Epic and Microsoft pushed Gears 1 and Gears 2 in less time than it took sony to release Killzone 2, despite the fact the game was announced a whole year before.

3. I don't see anything on PS3 this holliday season that looks better visually than Gears 2. I'm loking forward to those Resistance 2 VS Gears 2 comparisons on sites.
