Me too. This is the remaining unreleased 360 game that I am really interested in. I am cross it's not coming to PS3, but I will not buy a 360 for one game.

I just like the idea, the gameplay looks a bit slow though. I might just get Alone in the Dark 5.

@1.1

The media blackout ending just might mean a release date. And, or more footage and gameplay previews.

If the game wasnt coming out this year, would they be talking to press for more than 8 months?

Working the media with previews and such is timed based on the release.

I'm pretty confident this game is coming this year.

Anyone that knows a good page that contains all the facts of this game till today... theres a lot of HYPE... and the only thing i know is that is being made by the same studio who made Max Pain. I saw a trailer about a forest... and a road (nothing special)

Thank you.

Have always stated that they give media blowout just before they are gonna release a game so this definitely comin this year or just at start of 2009 at the most. They showed Max payne video just 2 weeks before release.

I have absolutely no hype for this game, but reading up on it. It actually has a interesting sounding story. A guy that writes about his own nightmares, moves to a different town to find peace. But instead of finding peace from his nightmares, he's awake in a real nightmare.

Something along those lines. I actually like it, and most likely will pick it up.

EDIT: Yes, disagree with me just because I think it's going to be a good story. Give it all you got!

Dude don't come in here saying American games are crap. Western developed games are best ones. Japanese game development is way way behind Western development. I only have 2 Japanese games m8 Dead Rising and Lost Odyssey. I have dozens of Western developed games though. Judging from your Avatar I assume your a Caucasian who's obsessed with Hentai. Get a life and a girl friend m8.

You're both wrong. Compromises between East and West make astounding games.

And if you don't believe me look at Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. Both are formed from Eastern and Western influences.

Aluesia, this to me seems to be a rather passive game. But I agree there are Western games like that, because of the 360 fanbase and the American patriotism that goes with it. But it is no reason to condemn something, with such hypocrisy (not that there isn't already enough on this site) and close mindedness as you. Maybe you should rephrase your comment and try to appreciate what the Western market does bring the the gaming industry.

Socomnick, you are one of those patriots I JUST mentioned. I can pretty much say you are American or English, and it embarrasses me, because I am English. And by your ridiculous usage of 'm8' (by the way it is 'mate') I am assuming English. And no, some Western games are fulled to the brim with the patriotism Aluesia mentioned, what you play is mindless uninspired crap, and to give examples I could list some favourite 360 exclusives, I won't however. You should try to appreciate what the Eastern market brings to the gaming industry.

It's a shame neither of you could properly execute your thoughts into sensible and neutral writings. If you could have, there may have been some healthy debate here, rather than reducing it to petty cussing.

Who on a gaming site ever has the right to say "Get a life and a girl friend m8"? Certainly not you Socomnick.

"This will finally answer the question about the 360's supposing plateaued capabilities no"

Who the fcuk is saying that? Certainly not the industry. The machine has plenty of horsepower yet to be exploited.

No one but the most narrow minded even entertains such folly. Please, cant you at least pretend to make sense, if not, take the trolls to the openzone.

I realized a whille ago, that the only way I was going to enjoy the best games was to buy all of the current consoles. I am have not been bored a second and it will continue to fun as the years come.
Oh, yo might not have to plunk out $450 for a 360. There is a price cut looming, so be patient.

You can use a laptop as a WiFi connection if you don't have one. No need to spend $100 for wifi. Is your 360 near your cable jack? Assuming you have cable internet, a 3ft cable would be much better than wifi in any scenerio. Wifi is overrated. If you want fast, reliable connections for gaming, always use a cable. I used a cable with my ps3. My Wii is wifi but that's not really online gaming, LOL

I only have a laptop with integrated graphics so i can't buy it for P.C.
Wish i could but i can't.

@sayaijin: It was never the fact that i didn't want a 360 because i always wanted one. But the thing is most games is multiplatform now and most of my favorite franchises are on the Ps3. I needed a few really interesting games to persuade me to plunk down another bundle of cash for another gaming console. Hopefully they'll be a pricedrop by this holiday season.

@ElementX: My laptop is in my room along with the wi-fi and internet modem. My Ps3 is in the living room and my 360 would go there as well. It's more than a few feet from there to here so i need wi-fi. I don't have problems with dropout or lag so i don't have any complaints. The 360 doesn't accept wi-fi waves on it's own without the peripheral so i'd need to buy it.

power of Green - 634 days 10 hours ago

Leave fanboy if you don't like it. MGS4 doesn't even messure up to Call of Juarez graphically. Its over the top JAP silliness and drama is too outdated with the ridiculous symbols over charactors heads and piss green color.

Moronic AI like mice in mazes.

Friggin fugly skeletal proportions with the charators and very un-natural movments/postures in joint animations.

Friggin painted looking textures in MGS4 flat poop with poor bump mapping. Big ass fat lines is what you see when you're close to cracks just like KillZone 2, you get close and the detail lookes like a close up of Mario's face in Super Mario BROS.

Friggin gameplay graphics don't even match up against the 360 version of Splinter Cell Double Agent. Poor piss green and Yellow faded *like the contrast is up too high on a SDTV* looking excuse of a graphical milestone just like all the other PS3 title.

Snake pulling a magic barrels out of his Zelda Pouch to run over the stupid ass AI tumbling down the street with the AI not having any clue is classic.

Yeah we do know how that turned out. Halo sold 4 million in one day, is heading to 7 and helped make the 360 king of 07. It has taken over a year for your PS3 to sell 3 million copies of Motorstorm (a bundled game), while Halo 3 outsold it my 1 million in one single day.
