The game changed like 3 different times, it was definatly a classic Real-Time Strategy at one point, their footage of it from the making of Halo 1, there's also video of it being a 3rd-person squad based game...
Unbelievably cool, I fully expect people to slam the "creator's club" idea and say Microsoft is just milking you.
I just want to clarify before any of this nonsense is spoken: Not only do you get access to the tools/documentation/dev. community but it turns your 360 into a DEV KIT.
@ 9 -------------- "How many of you *actually* have TV's that cannot display or scale 720p? Or are you just speaking for some otherwise unrepresented huddled mass of offline HDTV owners that apparently can't speak for themselves? " ---------------
So..... it doesn't actually fix any resolution, it just programs the ps3 to know to pick the highest resolution you can support (and the ps3 will allow you to support).
They probably should have just combined this with an actual fix, unless none is coming... which is my very strong assumption (no scaler?)
I'd just like to add that Blue Dragon is a little over 30 gigs, so it wouldn't fit on a single-layer BR disk anyways! To be fair the 3rd disk has the soundtrack on it, so I hear
I'd also like to add that they edited the article:
"Sony has contacted us to let us know that they may have spoken a bit prematurely. SCEA's Dave Karraker, Sr. Director, Corporate Communications, informed GameDaily BIZ that they currently cannot confirm that this 1080i issue will be resolved via a firmware patch. The official line is now that they are "looking into the issue and haven't stated any actions that will be taken regarding it." "
I'd just like to point out that as of December 2005 (when I bought my CRT) Panasonic CRT's still didn't accept 720p, I don't know when they eventually implemented it but I bought mine less then a year ago... has HDMI... no 720p
#4: PS3 could do this, of course, so could wii. Alot of people just love the whole "pay for potential" marketing jazz, how about we compare it to what's actually avaliable.
#7: You keep it on your HD for 14 days, when you watch it the first time you have 24 hours to watch it as many times as you want.
