Snail Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 So, theres loads of details of games coming out for the 360, so heres a thread to discuss them. Im going to start of with this . A real top gun (afterburner) style game would rock, and its something i've not seen on consoles in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiftyPence Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Im just trying to find a release date for the console now The games looks awesome though, almost what ive been waiting for for years. As we all know the appearance of current console games has come along way but its always the video footage which is better than the actual in-game play. It would seem that they have at last conquered this problem with the advent of the Xbox360 whereby actual gameplay is as good as the videos are on current games.

gino128 Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 [ QUOTE ] Im just trying to find a release date for the console now [ QUOTE ] Try giving the ad agency Universal Mccann a call. They are the media agency looking after it all. After speaking to them for something slightly different, the 360 came up in conversation, where the Account Director mentioned that ALL the marketing and promotional material is completed and is being/ready for distribution - expect an early November launch I reckon (unless someone knows any different!!) to ensure the PR machine is at full speed come chritstmas!

[/ QUOTE ] From the video's they released of it at X05, it needed to be delayed. The game looked nothing like the highly impressive grainy vids which were relased during E3, and looked barely good enough to be an Xbox game let alone a 360 game. Hopefully with the extra time they will make somthing alot better ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
