Huxley - 30 New Screens

I think pc gaming has not grown much because it is on the decline. Seems the only thing keeping it alive right now is WOW.

Maybe its the cost of production. Developers have to make sure they're gonna see a return in profits before going 'all out' and making the game look the best possible. The risk-reward type of thing might not be there for games like this.

Im no pc gamer, but i think thats what it is.

As gaming demographics change, more family games, gamers age start to match the general population as opposed to skewing towards younger people and on and on, people just dont want to game in their Computer Room.

I own my own home, my own couch and my own 60" Plasma. I want to play videogames in the living room, not in a room by myself.

Besides, occupying the PC from the family doesnt make much sense unless you want to buy a PC for them to surf/email/whatever and another for you to game.

Every home needs a PC, but they need it for something _other_ than gaming. So, unless you want to buy two $800-1400 computers, you're going to buy a $400 console instead.

Gaming is mainstream, the living room is mainstream.

I am by no means a PC fanboy whatsoever. But I did upgrade my PC last year or the year before for BF2 and Dark Messiah. Both very much worth it. And now I will say this to all those who are worried about PC gaming.

Stop Worrying.

That's all. Becuase I can promise you as soon as the consoles start to get a bit old, when developers know very well the kind of power that is there for PC's, they will start paying more attention. It happened last generation and it will happen this one. And once multiplatforms (console multiplatforms) are slowing, then the PS3 will be being focused on. It has more potential, and more pleasign titles will become avaiable to PC.

Just be very patient. I am sure around the 7th year of PS3 I will still be buying games for it, but I will be thinkign about getting a really powerful PC again.

PC games have -variable- graphic outputs. What you see is based heavily on your settings / graphics card.

The best games (graphically) will _always_ be on the PC.

PC Gaming looks better than gaming on Xbox 360, PS3 or Wii. No doubt about it. Better framerates, better graphics, better physics.

In August of 2005, an nVidia spokesperson was quoted in PlayStation Magazine as saying "the RSX GPU is basically a slightly less powerful GeForce 7800"

http://www.theinquirer.net/...

The entire GeForce 7800 series was DISCONTINUTED in 2006.

You really expect a GPU designed in 2003 or 2004 to compete with the latest GPUs and DX10?

The PS3 has 512/512MB ram. Thats it, the Xbox 360 has 1GB. The GPU in the Xbox 360 is better for sure, but not up to what PC gamers can buy today.

You might want to get your facts right before making comments like this one. The 360 does not have 1gb of RAM sir, sorry, that is just plain false. Oh, and much to a tune of Blademask, what games does the 360 have that compete in terms of graphics when it comes to games like Uncharted or GT5P?

This game is totally, 100% impressive.

The first MMOFPS for consoles. Who gives a flying f what the three of you think about graphics?

Even if the graphics sucked (They Dont in any way), the GAMEPLAY and gameplay experience is what matters.

The way the big PvP is setup is kind of like Frontlines;
Extended, tactical battles of large groups working towards a series of goals/tasks.

This is a Day 1 purchase for me. This is the new, innovative gameplay experiences that makes me want to buy a game.

Left 4 Dead is another good example. 4 men vs 4 unique zombies == awesome. APB -- MMO Sandbox game. These are the _innovative_ games I want to play.

Have you guys seen the gameplay vids? I really do want to be excited for this game... it just doesn't look much good. Plus, 100 vs. 100 is for the PC only... the capacity on 360 hasn't been announced yet.

Left 4 Dead sure doesn't look like much graphically, but it does look like it will be awesome when it comes to the gameplay!

I think a massive tactical, persistent game-world like this will be very interesting and innovative.

I hope they implement some kind of "real time" and/or "tracked" occupation map like was in WWII Online.

The battles for territory can have a sense of "purpose" that the MMO universe normally has.

What else is interesting is this:

"Servers will be solely dedicated to accommodate millions of users engaged in fast paced, large-scale combat."

So, the game world will be constant, and persistent for all the players.

Further, this:

"The characters in Huxley are continuously growing, which is rare in FPS games. Players are able to enhance their own combat styles by obtaining out-of-this-world weapons and new skills, which in turn continuously challenges players to adopt different gameplay styles as they progress"

So, we've got RPG elements. A MMORPG with conflict resolved in the manner of FPS. Huxley is in my top 5-8 games for the year for sure.

Its a _new_ kind of gameplay experience, not just another sequel. Fable 2 is another good example of innovation in gameplay for Xbox 360, which, very frankly, is a f of a lot more important than demanding every single game that is released concentrates solely on its graphics-polish.

I want *NEWS GAMES*, not just new graphics.

Amen n4user, bubbles for you.

I might just steal that line "I want NEW GAMES, not just better X,Y,Z" where X,Y,Z is whatever nit-picking nonsense the SDF tries to use to undermine anything & everything Xbox 360.

It looks fantastic. The graphics are just one minor part of a game.

Clinton514, based on your icon, why dont you worry about kz/haze, and Xbox 360 owners will play Huxley.

If you're talking about gamplay you have no idea what you're talking about. Massive battles with hundreds of people with huge attack and transport vehicles, missions back and forth from SP to the MMO part of the game. lol

If you're talking graphics from a MMO thats months away from release then I have to ask whats MGS4's excuse?.

Poor POG, he's never played UT2k4 before. The gameplay is a complete rip off of the UT series right down to the freaking weapons.

DJ - 625 days 13 hours ago

Even the developers confirmed that the game doesn't support hundreds of players in the same map; it's more like 32 to 40 players. And yeah, I've seen gameplay footage, and I have to say it's so close to Unreal Tournament 2004 that I'm surprised there isn't a lawsuit...

No UT has 100 vs 100 online battles. No online console game has 100 vs 100 battles. When you get one, come talk sh!t. Now back to Resistance and Warhawk for you, then after that you can play uh... and then uh... and uh... nope your PS3 isnt a 360, 98% of your games are "not" online. The PS3 is a masterbating console, it's for those who love to play with themselves, thats why you only have 2 online games. The 360 is for those who like playing with others, thats right we would rather have a woman stroke our johnson, gets boring doing it to yourself all the time.
