Fable II was a joke. I really hope this one is good and optimized well for the PC, though.

I'll be playing Red Dead Redemption and Split/Second along with the (awesome) Rocket Knight on XBLA.

Oh damn, the graphics are actually good now. I remember playing the last demo they released and was puke-ugly (nothing like the CG enhanced trailers). Very colorful, almost Forza-ish. The trees and background stuff in screen 7 look pretty flat and dull still, but this is a huge step forward.

@BreadKnight: Are any of the original editors back?

@MarkoPolos: I think they said they increased the number of onscreen AI to something like 40-45 ish (including allies). Still, that's pretty impressive. I think they're also going to make appear like there's more active AI using some sort of AI draw-in, where the closer you get, the more active they become. They go…

@Nadger: So? It's your property new and it's their property when you trade something in so you can afford another *new* game. People act like the money stops right in the GameStop cash register. It's not like they try to push pre-orders on new games, it's not like GameStop does no promotion for them, you're right.…

@nauticalland: Oh my god - someone that actually understands how consumers work when they're faced with choices.

@Nadger: They're not pirated. The developer gets paid, a gamestop employee gets to keep his job and the person not willing to pay full retail gets to play the game legitimately (and maybe buy DLC).

@superflat44: No,it's not a fact. It's a fact that you're assuming people will pay $20-$25 more for a new game just because they have to. Why even buy the game at all? People with money are aware of alternatives. The only thing that will happen is publishers will drop the price, or lose a sale. Game developers already…

This is bullshit. With project 10 dollar, you actually got something. Now all you get is reamed in the ass by having content that is actually integral to the retail package (the multiplayer) being taken. I'm sure GameStop will end up selling these games for $45 after people catch on and bring their used copies back in…

At will employment, you get to quit for any reason you want, you can get fired for any reason they want.

Why do games have books for them? Seriously, this is the exact opposite of what the damn game is supposed to be. It's supposed to immerse you with visuals, sounds, and response. Why not flesh out the story in an epic scale in the actual game (Halo) and let me know the backstory and sub-plots without me having to spend…

I played the first episode and a half. Yeah, it's riveting.

@TheSolarKnight: The casual market is more sensitive? How can they be more sensitive when they're ignorant? You're speaking out of your ass. Just beef up the memory to accommodate the new firmware and keep the devs designing games specified to the older specs. The newer Wiis will handle the upscaling.

If that isn't the flattest, most boring look-like-a-12-year-old-boy female render I've ever seen...

Why can't they just slap a beefier GPU, new firmware and an HDMI out so I don't have to see pixelation the size of postage stamps? It'd cost all of $250 and be so worth it.

Well, the nearest one to Denver is 66 miles away. I doubt I can justify the drive.

@sgtteddybear: What if you click here?

@Azraeus: No because A) they don't have the resources to prove I'm not an employee and B) this means less strain on their servers come Monday.

@Vajesticles: Yep, I think they took it down due to too many people abusing it. Damn, I sent my friends the link, too. I'm reading this over at gamefaqs and I think [bungie.net] had a thread about it. It just went down. I'd still try again tonight, though.
