I think the region'ing needs to go, IMO. People know how to circumvent it and more and more nowadays anyways, companies are putting english and japanese text into a game that comes out in Japan first.

Really hope Nintendo follow's suit also because no region means better sales anyways, from how I see it.

Aaron Boulding from IGN said the real-time demos looked about half as good as the trailers from E3.

Considering those were target estimates, and that current builds are looking half as good with 7-8 months to go before LAUNCH, I would say that's pretty damn good.

Yes, it's pretty damn good, but I'd also say it's pretty damn the same as Xbox 360 games.

nobody's talking about XBox 360...im not sure bringing it into this discussion would do any good

Bond · 03-22-2006, 10:30 PM

Well, I apologize for bringing another console into the discussion for comparison sake.

Weren't they supposed to be the real thing, though? Didn't they say that was the real thing? Like, what it would look like definetely? I think they did. Or something to that effect...

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what they said at the time...

/me shrugs and walks away

pretty sure they said they were estimates or predictions of what they expect or hope to be able to do. (not sure the exact wording of what was said)

Hahaha, that's rich. I remember all the controversy surrounding the Killzone footage.

And yeah, I think we settled on "representative of what it might look like", as per Gamespot's word.

but the lawsuit had to do with the technology used in the controler, not what it looks like. im sure if they wanted it bad enough, they could make the controller look the same but use different technology inside of it.

i dont know if i really want it the same, but i'd like it to resemble the DS2 more then the 'boomerang' does. maybe like an inbetween version.
