Come brothers, let us gather round the RING OF LIGHT!


Microsoft has instituted a cult...in a few years we'll hear about some mass suicide of Xbox 360 fanboys...the ring of light has taken their souls to a plane of eternal bliss...and free Mountain Dew.

Same here. But how could it? It has to have 360 sequels to live up to its name.

When I heard that, I instantly remembered something I had read about Eternal Darkness when I did a review for the game back at Nintendose. The main characters are comprised of over 5500 polygons. I'm kind of confused why Rare would even bother releasing that number for their next generation game, as it really makes them look kind of stupid. I mean, at 300,000 polygons on screen at once drawn at 30 frames/second that's only 9 million polygons per second. That's low end current generation. I double checked and it turns out I was right. Sources for the character model polygon count.

Oh, and by the way, there are a ton of really nice long trailers of the Xbox 360 game over at http:www.gametrailers.com. I just found them.

Yeah, and Leon from RE4 has something like 10,000 polygons...

While I'm sure they could easily fit more into each character (and everything else), the difference between ED/RE4 and PDZ is that deathmatches can have up to 50 players at once, and it can handle having all of them on the screen at once, or so one of the rareware guys said on that MTV show...
