"The game is started (00:42)...it's now loading..still loading...and..still loading...um... loading right now...ok, pre-loading...and now it's loading the profile...(2:06)..game's running!"

Lekko - RTFA. They didn't just get the dev kits, they just got the FINAL dev kits.

With 5 million 360s worldwide..

That means about one out of every 3 people in the US bought this game for their 360.

That's impressive.

Well, I work for a major 3rd party publisher who happens to have a few Wii games slated for the launch window. If they go early and didn't tell us... I doubt we'd ever make another game for the Wii.

It ain't happening unless Nintendo really wants to piss off publishers.

"I guess you missed that the first PS3 game ever shown, Gran Turismo HD, was running in trueHD at E3."

So, many factual errors...mind...reeling...Nothing you just wrote was true.

1. GT HD was the NOT the first PS3 game ever shown.

2. TrueHD is a Dolby sound codec and has nothing to do with screen resolution. (Where do you get this stuff???)

3. GT HD is just the GT4 PS2 game running on the PS3 at 1080p, which means it is not indicative of what a real PS3 games will be able to run at with high resolution textures and advanced physics.

If you watch the video, you will notice that the trailer is for both Cabela's Alaskan Adventures AND Cabela's African Safari.

Hense the lions, elephants and other animals.

teknomusik - It will be in the room with Otis. BUT, you have to beat the game first. It has 300 shots that kill with one hit.

Nick - One session.

idioteraser - Look up the numbers before you write. The GameCube was, and is, a disaster for third parties.

"Soul Calibur 2 Gamecube was the best selling version. "

Incorrect. The PS2 version sold more.

Soul Calibur 2 PS2 - 1.75 million
Soul Calibur 2 GameCube - 1.48 million

"Lego Star Wars sold like gangbusters on the Gamecube."

Huh? It didn't even break a million, unlike on other platforms.

Lego Star Wars PS2 - 2.39 million
Lego Star Wars GameCube - less than a million

Where exactly do you get your information?

1up_clock - You seem to be ignoring the fact that Nintendo publishes Mature rated games as well.

More selective memory from the Nintendo corner...

"Looks like the profanity in GTA has filtered into the pixelante subculture."

Huh?

Jack, you may want to re-read this thread, as you are sorely mistaken. In fact you just slighted the people who were defending you.

The grand total of three (3) profane words used before your post were all written by people defending your position, not the "pixelantes" who oppose this draconian measure. Not only that, but two of those words were sited as examples of what a parent would see if they bothered to actually be a parent and not expect the government to do their job for them. One also has to take the subtext into consideration when determining if the usage is an actual profanity, for example Bono was able to use the "F" word during the 2003 Golden Globes without being fined.

So there was a grand total of zero (0) profanities by the "pixelantes". Way to paint with a broad stroke there buddy.

I hope Jack doesn't use the same logic and insist we pass a law to start arresting all black/white/mexican people because one of them committed a crime (or in this case, zero).

I guess Jack just sees what he wants to see... again.
