Even more Red Steel info unsheathed

"Which is great coz the graphics dont look fantastic, hopefully they'll be able to improve it a lot before release."

Are you serious? These graphics look as good - or better - than any current Xbox 360 game. This is very much a next generation standard, right here.

The only real complaint I could see would be about the art style, but surely not the graphics themselves.

Xbox's corporate celebrities

"Sony and Nintendo are mumbo-jumbo speaking japanese companies who release their products here months or years late." I'd say that's true of Sony, but not Nintendo. Just go and watch Nintendo's E3 press conference from this year and I doubt you'll be able to say that they're speaking "mumbo-jumbo" at all. The main difference between the MS and Nintendo conferences, in my view, was that Microsoft was dressing up old men in ridiculous "youth" attire and they were spitting out as many PR catchphrases as possible. "Xbox connects me to the people and experiences I care about!" Huh? That's mumbo-jumbo to me, lol. Nintendo's conference was humorous, down-to-earth and realistic, I think. I like that Nintendo's events feel more like a small community than a giant hype machine. I also like that Nintendo executives generally seem to have a very genuine attitude about what they are working on. With Microsoft, I often get the impression that it's little more than a veneer of slick PR speak. Of course, there's no doubting the prominence of various Xbox staff (especially J Allard), but I think there's a general fakeness that comes across with some of them (though I would not include Allard in that description - he seems to be the strongest and most genuine Xbox advocate of the bunch).
