Multiplayer is being developed by Montreal, they have kept it under wraps so far though.

Gears 2 slides further down Xbox Live activity chart

Dec 17th 2008 2:26PM (Joystiq)
I hope you're ready for this. The problems with Gears 2 are contained solely within the versus multiplayer. This is the first time I've ever played a sequel and been completely disappointed with the game. Epic didn't make one change to the multiplayer that I think was a good idea. Here's my list:

Matchmaking-obvious problems here

Lag-About 70% percent of the games I play my whole team experiences lag so bad that it's not even worth trying.

The new maps suck-The new direction with the level design is awful. There are no maps with a power weapon on each side. They are all in the middle of the map, which means that the least laggy players always get them. You don't get to have sniper or torque bow duels anymore. Thanks god they included canals.

Weapon swapping-Switching what weapons are on the map is completely unbalanced. Example, on subway the cog always get the torque bow and frag grenades, while the locust get mulcher and sniper and poison grenades.

The Chainsaw-When somebody revs the chainsaw and ealk at you form ten steps away and doesn't get stunned when you shoot them. How are you supposed to defend against that?

All the weapons are useless without using the sights. You can't hit anything with the shotgun without pulling up the sights first. Doesn't that ruin the purpose of a shotgun?

Grenade tagging-Planting grenades in a wall is a cool idea, but it sucks in practice. It always ends up with a guy or two hiding in a room protected by planted grenades.

Smoke grenades-This idea I am okay with, but the distance to get knocked down by one and the duration of being knocked down is too inconsistent. It also takes too much to blow one up if you know it's there. one shot with any gun should do it. Good luck blowing one up with the lancer or pistol.

New Maps-I bought the new maps 2 days ago and have not seen one yet. WTF?

I could go on for days. I loved Gears 1 online. I am completely disappointed with gears 2 online, though I do love hoard and the campaign. The problems with this games' connectivity and balance are what's causing the game to slide.

Don't you mean 10,000 not 1,000? Maybe math works different in Japan, and I just don't know.

Xbox 360's Virtua Fighter 5 to feature online play

Jul 6th 2007 1:21PM (Joystiq)
i have had two xbox 360's. the first one was from launch. i played it to death, by all rights it should have died. i sold it to my friend a coulpe months back. it is still kicking and has no problems. when i sold it i bought an elite. not one freeze, not one hiccup, nothing but good times. i've been playing great games for almost two years on the 360. with developers always canceling titles, giving them bare bones features, and games being generally less wow-ing than the 360 it will be sometime until i think about a ps3. besides, you never know, once there is a game out worth putting considerable time into the ps3 just might break, we won't know until they are turned on longer than it takes to play a movie.

1UP: 360 football games to run faster than PS3

soccer sucks and soccer players are little girls. David Beckham would crap his crumpets if a 6' 5" 270 pound freak of human nature was chasing him down, he'd be begging for a slide "tackle" instead of the "end of your pampered pansy life tackle" that was about to be put on him.

Miyamoto interview: "I could make Halo"

May 7th 2007 10:47AM (Joystiq)
yeah he could make halo, but he would have needed to do it twenty years ago, now all he does is make sequels. i liked twilight princess, but lets be honest it is basically ocarina of time 1.4. the wii remote is where the innovation ends at nintendo. glad i found some poor shmuck to take my wii off my hands for $100 more than i bought it for.
