GoW vs. MGS4 Side by Side Comparison shot

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v95/Confidence-Man/mgs4gow_1.jpg

The MGS trailer did not show what the game will play like so it is hard to compare it to something that is being played like Gears of War.

And to be fair GoW looks as good if not better than MGS in certain aspects. Even looking at Chaos Theory on the original Xbox in screenshots and it actually looks better than MGS4 in terms of textures and lighting.

Its not as high poly but its definitly comparable. And so is Gears of War, look at any close up pictures of the characters and you will see the same amount of detail as Snake.

Oh and as for co-op 360 games: These are confirmed for co-op play:

Gears of War, Kameo, PDZ, Saints Row

You people don't understand even if the game is the most popular game ever, stores like Best Buy, Wal Mart and EB Games (Which I work for) will not carry it no matter what.

There is no ifs and or buts about it, the maxmimum rating for a game that retailers like these will carry is M.

To everyone complaining about performance and lag issues please realize this.

The demo has been out for less than half a day, no one knows what settings to tune to properly optimize the game and get it running smoothly, give it a couple days.

As for lag, of course there is going to be lag right away! There are hardly any dedicated servers up for the game and those that are up are most likely being spammed to hell. Like the performance issues give it time! In one week everything will be resolved and you play to your hearts content.

For now just load up the single player or play a game with a few friends to try it out. In a couple of days log on to some servers and see how the game really plays.

The PC version is being made by another developer and is being tuned for extra realism for the Pc crowd.

Its suicide to release anything between Nov.8 to Nov.15

Halo 2 is the only thing that will be on the minds of gamers and the media.

Hey guys since when did Half Life have ANY story. The most you got out of it was a few small conversations with scientists and some marines. Hardly any story at all.

Myabe they should release Breed before they decide on expansion packs.

Its sad though I have had the strategy guide for Condition Zero sitting on my shelves at EB for over a month now.

The best thing about Sin was watching the evil chick (forgot her name, its been so long) playing with herself in the hot tub.

Midnight, how is being able to use ramming as an effective tactic in dogfights a good thing. You mentioned things in your review that most people would find negative about the game yet you didn't mention these things as being bad. (Ramming, lack of location based tageting, etc(

Oh and to whoever said that the game doesn't work on non MS joysticks was wrong, I play it with a Saitek Cyborg 3D Gold and it works fine.

Freespace 1 and 2 are still the best space sims out there.

Game ran flawless on my 3ghz, 1gb ram, 9800 Pro.

The gameplay was good, it felt somewhat fresh. There were obvious parts of the game I wish they could have improved and spent more time on like AI, voice acting, and maybe some more weapon balancing.

But all in all it was an entertaining game and if a movie or game can keep my attention then by all means its good.

Umm Defiance is out in stores right now, we have tons at the EB I work at in Canada.

Damn its gonna be a busy week, and I work at EB too! Its gonna be hell Thursday when everythign comes in.

Thats called 'Instant Action' and is common in every PC flight sim.

You usually always start in the air with the enemy within attacking distance or very close to.

I think if they made a demo where you had to fly for 10-20 minutes just to attack most people would put the game off as boring.

Mind you thats just for the demo and the full game will have take offs/landing as well as longer missions with better objetives.

Just think of the demo as a deathmatch map

The demo was beta version 4 or something close to that. When the demo was released they were already on beta 10 so I'm sure lots of improvements have been made to improve frame rates.

The demo level was one part of one level.

Wow pretty much every fps except Deus ex 2 has been delayed till 2004.

This is getting hilarious with every new day bringing some new delay.

Hidden and Dangerous 2 is out, I got my copy yesterday. Excellent game by the way and I've encountered no bugs so far.

Yea I dont really care what the hell I'm killing. I play FF games for the story and the combat system.
