Microsoft has stated very clearly that the Xbox 360 is NOT DX10 compatible.

Well, I forget the websites stating the Xenos was a DX10 part, but could you provide a link of some sort? I'm not doubting you, it's just that proof is better than none. General concensus (sp?) seems to be the Xenos is infact DX9 and that's probably true since I tend to care more about PC tech rather than console stuff, and pay less attention to the latter, but a link would be great. Thanks.

Also, careful, you just double posted.
 
Anyone who knows me personally knows I hate Sony and I'll likely never buy a PS3, but I'm happy they did something different with the Cell. I think it's pretty useless tech now (who cares what it's capable of when programmers aren't capable of utilising it?) but someone had to do something bold. Whatever I think of their representatives, sticking feet in their mouth every meal, they have one good thing going in their R&D. I'm waiting patiently for PS4 news.

Bold movers: Sony in hardware, MS in software, Nintendo in control. ( :lol: )
 
There are two reasons i hate the ps3, 1. I hate the controller, its way to small for my hands and the position of all the buttons just doesnt work for me. 2. because it has 8 cores all the computer noobs and console fanboys think its the ultimate computer, and theres no talking 'em down.


oh, the xbox controls halo, so its the best console no matter what sony or nintendo puts out there.

Sorry, I couldn't find the link. However, when searching I found this.

Halo 1 = godly among consoles

Halo 2 = overhyped piece of crap

Halo 1= totally awesome

Halo 2= totally awesome as well, but with a crappy ending. It was a good continuation of the series though, and it brought alot of new stuff to the game like dual wielding and hijacking vehicles. it does kind-of seem like it was made to prepare halo fans for halo 3. Of course im a halo head so bungie could sell bags of dog shit, say its from a spartan and i would probably buy it

I cant wait for the Halo movie, and finding out what peter jacksons untitled Halo project is. Dont really know how Halo Wars will go over though, i mean, its halo, so everybody is going to buy it the first day it comes out, but RTS's arent really my perfered style of game.

if you havent already guessed, Halo is like crack to me.
 
Halo 2 to me was pretty and shiny graphics, with dual-wielding. I would have much rather waited another year and let Bungie make Halo 2 be the end all they original said they were going to do.

But whatever. Microsoft knows how to milk money from us, and so they did.

shinigamiX: Perhaps you missed this, but the quote said "console", not "FPS". I agree, UT was better than Halo. I don't get the Halo -1 part though. (-1)^-1=-1 You mean like before Halo Zero? :wink:

He means if someone reversed engineered the game, renamed it Olah, and told everyone its better - he'd be the first to buy it. (*think DivX <-> XviD; Halo <-> Olah)

Everyone swears Xvid is better than DivX. Whether that is true or not I can't say.

The Halo movie was cancelled some time ago.
 
yeah the movie was canceled. though i heard some company was still really willing to make it, just on a much smaller budget. I dont know. I wish it would have been made. there were alot of big shots who wanted the movie to see the light of day (jackson in particular). and the same special effects people who did lord of the rings were gonna work on it. I think the movie was gonna be the sweetest thing ever. but it all just collapsed in on its self. bad microsoft.
 
I wouldn't blame MS. Jackson's other title, The Hobbit, was also axed. MS didn't touch that one. I think Jackson is having a bad streak of luck right now.
