Xbox 360 Bus

LOL.

It looks amazing aye. I didn't really notice those animations to be honest. I just kept looking at the face!
Yeah, the counters are tougher this time, which is good. The thing with FN2 is that once you get over the learning curve, you really start to kick arse due to the fact that boxing games are really quite scripted and exploitable. I really want this game for multiplayer. Imaging beating your cousins arse down to the canvas screaming "f*** yeah!! Who's your daddy!!?? Hey dude, do you wanna go play fight night after this?"....Man, good times ahead.
 
I loved in fight night 2 career mode, i would hav an awsone winning streak, basically holding all possible ***les, and then as i get older my boxer starts losing his edge until eventually you get pummelled into retirement. Its so cool how you cant be the champ for ever, eventually the years will catch up with you. I did a career with joe frazier and by the time he was in his fortys the opponents could turn his face to mash potatoe in the first couple of rounds, so it was a challenge to knock them out before the ref called it off.

Are you getting a 360 at lauch from hastings kafka? If so hav you preordered fight night?

Ive pre ordered Madden, Fight night and oblivion.
 
ceejay

they are the inputs u want

use the HD cables when u get it in the full pack

also compare with the yellow cable to see the difference

cheers for the feedback on the 360

just confirms, and re-assures a treat around the corner

:bravo:

FIGHT NIGHT ROUND 3 HAS ARRIVED IN AUSTRALIA

BUYING TODAY

YEEEEHAAAA!!!!

CANT WAIT TO READ THE BOOK :( :wacko: :wall:
 
ABOUT GHOST RECON ON 360

READ THIS CEEJAY

"The good news for those playing on standard-definition televisions is that the graphic quality of the game is plainly obvious no matter what type of television you use."
"it's clear that a game that looks this good couldn't be done on a regular Xbox or PlayStation 2."


I GOTTO GET THIS

SOUND LIKE WE HAVE A NEW GRAPHIC KILLER..MOVE OVER FNRD3....HERE COMES GRAW
 
Man I am gonna start saving up! I want this before Easter!

Gun guy you always know how to make our mouths water! :bravo:
 
Ive watched all he vids of graw over at ign and it looks pretty sweet. But after getting up close and personal with fight night i cant see it beating it for graphics. I will hav to wait t a while anyway as i hav to study and i hav exhausted my gaming funds. Its good to see lots good games finding there way to 360. I feel like a kid again, and christmas is next thursday!!

If the graphical quality of graw is plainly obvious on standard tv, then it will be for fight night too!!
 
I watched someone play Ghost Recon. It did look freaking sweet. When snipering things didn't look as good, but it did look supreme...

The FN graphics took the cake for me though tbh.
 
got FNRD3 last night

EB have a deal here where if u trade in 4 ps2 games u pay $50.00 only for a 360 game

guess what..........i have atleast 8 games that i payed no more than $20.00 for

Fishing, Cabelas hunting, alpine skiing etc

So i'll get GRAW anyways coz it will cost me $50.00 only, and i get rid of the dust collectors at the bottom of the pile.......truly brilliant :bravo:

I gotto agree as what i have seen FNRD3 has better graphics than GRAW....even the back of the FN box looks BS.......they got a close up of some dude copping one in the mouth, his lips getting pushed out too the side, and u can see his TEETH......(needs some colgate)......not sure if the mouthgaurd went flying but there is a long string of blood coming from the mouth, his eyes clinched, in total pain.

I gotto check out some fans sites and get the create-a-boxer criteria for:
Mundine
Danny Green
Iron Mike
Kostya Tzyu
 
I was at an eb games in auckland today just looking around and while i was there the manager was showing off the 360 to some dudes. I am not sure what game was being played but it was a first person shooter it looked pretty sweet and the manager was using the wireless controller from outside of the store a good 15- 20 metres back from the actual console and it was still fully functional.

they are having a midnight launch at eb on wednesday night in nz and if you trade in your old x-box the 360 will only cost you $400. the whole store was basically decked out for the 360 launch with games all over the place and 360 stuff everywhere
 
Bad news guys, the wireless controller comes with two disaposable AA batteries, which (with vibration on) should last about 2 hours. What a laugh! Id say there will be plenty of trips to the 24hour gas station in the wee hours of thursday morning. I bought a charge and play kit for 40 bucks, its a chargable battery and a plug in so you can charge and play at the same time, it basically becomes a wired controller! I was just gonna buy a new cord controller but they are 70 bucks!

Hey Ak i tried creating Kostya Tzyu on FNR 2but that hairstyle was too chinese monkish(with no hair on top) and i just couldnt get his face right(i had pictures too in the form of his book) The create a player was and still is (from what ive read) too limited. I created iron mike with no sucess and mundine who looked the best and i actually done a career with him.

Eb dont usually take games that are too old in those kind of deals. It says conditions apply, and if they cant sell it for more than 20 bucks thn they wont take it.

Have you read the book yet!! or are you making it last, one page a night before bed!!

Esoj, dont i know you from somewhere?
 
Tiger Woods still has the best create a player in terms of hairstyles etc. It ****** me off how the only longish/medium-long hair in the game was that silly surfer one that I used to wear a year or two ago.... What ever happened to the good ol' bowlcut?
 
Forgot to mention, when i went back to gamesman(again) to ask about the controller, i was looking forward to a another bash on fight night but it has since been rated as r13 and can no longer be displayed in store. LOL. I had to settle for Project gotham, and i hav to say, apart from the reflections on the car, it looked like a regular xbox game to me. In harvey Norman i saw some video demos and NHL and NBA2k looked shithouse, i honestly couldnt see any graphical improvements. Im just glad fight night and madden show what can be acheived visually so hopefully in the future they will be the benchmark.
 
yeah i got a charge n play kit...........wasnt subjecting myself to alkaline batteries

the EB deal is no condition apply Ceejay.........i confirmed with them that i can bring in the hunting/fishing ***les and they said as long as the disc aint broke u can bring in 4 games and pay $50.00....so my oldest 4 games are trading in for GRAW

obviously if i had brought in 4 new ***les that would nearly cover the whole 360 game

yeah i tried creating the same in FNr2 and only Mundine looked good.

Tiger woods is crazy though and i have that so my gameface will be back....it seriously can look just like me.........its soo in depth

have seen PGR on a good TV and it looked mint.........but honostly isnt a patch on the EA games nor MOTO GP screenies i have seen.

PGR is like a suped up GT in terms of looks..........but i have never driven a ferrari....the time is near :bravo: :cheers:

Am getting GRAW this weekend, and that will do me............rated as the best 360 ***le, and i love the Recon series.........COD i played and its like a dollied medal of honour............dont get me wrong its good, but i reckon GRAW will kill it, and feedback/rating confirm this

Yep have read FNRD3 booklet twice.........can wait to use the new punches, they are implemented well, by the config in the book

I got TW2006, FNR3, and PDZ.
Getting PGR for free at midnight launch promo
Getting GRAW this weekend
My mates getting COD and Madden, so we can swap after a couple of weeks or whatever
And i got next Thursday and Friday off work, so a 4 day weekend of next gen.

All i gotto get now is plenty of food, beer, and plenty of coffee

IMO the delay is the ebst thing to ever happen to the 360...the laucnh list is just awesome, and now we all garaunteed to get one

Its already broken entertainment sales record in australia, and its not even released.

EVEN though the new Xbox 360 is nine days away from launch, the console is already breaking records.
According to the number of pre-orders for the eagerly-awaited device, Microsoft's projections show it will generate $30 million to $40 million in the first 24 hours on sale.
This will make it the highest grossing entertainment launch in Australian history.
The console, which will go on sale at 12.01am on March 23, will take gaming to the next level thanks to the three separate core processors on board running at 3.2Ghz and a graphics card operating at 500Mhz.
It also has a 20GB hard drive and eight times more RAM than the original Xbox resulting in a high definition gaming experience with razor sharp graphics and detailed and interactive environments.
The Xbox 360 launch in the US in November took Microsoft by surprise with the enormous interest emptying store shelves and leaving the company struggling to meet demand.
Microsoft's home and entertainment regional director David McLean said interest in the Xbox 360 in Australia had been phenomenal.
"It's beyond our wildest expectations," he said.
"We saw how popular the Xbox 360 is in the US and Europe and to see a launch of this scale shaping up in Australia is mind-blowing."
Retailers Harvey Norman, Coles Myer and specialist stores like EB Games have been taking pre-orders for months with the original launch date, scheduled for March 2, put back to March 23 to meet demand.
Mr McLean said Microsoft had done everything to ensure there was enough stock on day one to meet pre-orders.
"If you're after an Xbox 360 at launch, your best hope is to pre-order it," Mr McLean said.
Microsoft said the projected sales figures would be made up of 70 per cent console sales and 30 per cent game sales.
The Xbox 360, while being primarily aimed at gamers, is also a fully fledged entertainment device which will play CDs and DVDs.
The Xbox 360 console will be priced at $649.95.
 
I played PGR on the same samsung plasma as FN round 3!

I hav thursday thru to sunday free as well, its gonna be a fun weekend and it will go real fast i bet!

What does it say about the haymakers in the booklet, how many kinds are there and what does it say about them, which is the hardest to do!
 
Are you kidding Ceejay? I played PGR3 the same day that I bought V8 Supercars 3, and the difference is HUUUGE!!!

And V8 Supercars is a sweet looking game. PGR3 looks way better than a Xbox game, as it should. The detail is very apparent.

The bluring out the sides (I used the cockpit view...... Hehehehe....Pit.) looked freaking sweet... In fact, that may make the detail look slightly worse...

But anyway, the graphics of this game are very good. But the best is certainly yet to come.
 
Prehaps i need to see it running side by side with a regular xbox, also im not so big on racing games. It just looked like the cars were shiny to me. And there was no crash damage either. If i get a racing game it will need to stun me with graphics (Like GT once did) but it must hav realistic crash damage. When it comes to racing i want a sim not arcade.

the haymakers are the same

right haymaker analogue stick action

3 o'clock to 6 o'clock then u'ey back to 12 o'clock

the flash ko analogue stick action

3 o'clock to 7 o'clock then u'ey back to 12 o'clock

the stun punch analogue stick action

3 o'clock to 9 o'clock then u'ey back to 12 o'clock

i hope that makes sense :wacko:
 
Makes perfect sense! So a stun punch is harder to pull off(thats the mini game one right?) I hate it how they call it a flash ko punch. A flash ko is an out of the blue one punch knockout. Its no even a flash knockdown, it just sends you into knock out mode. They shouldnt hav called it flash ko, i thought theyd implemented flash ko's (like ko kings 99!) when they really havent. I hope thay still hav flash knockdowns like in FNr2
