By all accounts the 360 version is going to be cut back a LOT so it's probably best that they try to hush it up as much as possible.

The port is being done by Bluepoint who are very good at ports, Jeff saw the 360 port and commented there was nothing to worry about.

My suspicion is that you aren't hearing much about the 360 version is that there isn't much difference from the Xbone version and MS want it to help deplete the bone mountains sitting in stores across the world.

A couple of weeks ago when I went searching for a PS4 pretty much every place I looked at at least a couple of Xbones sitting around.

Some of you Barons Game Poster superfans seem a little too eager to consume every piece of content he puts out. Me-thinks he is the only thing you have in your lives, when, in fact, there is a whole world full of monsters out there besides one surly skeleton to experience! Have you tried listening to the opinions of a goblin or owlbear before? I'm just saying, it doesn't hurt to broaden your horizons a little bit.

Ghosts are just former skeletons.


If you were a necromancer could you raise an undead as both a ghost AND a skeleton, effectively doubling your troops? Does it work that way? Someone should ask Vinny (but not Jeff, who has terrible opinions on chi vs. magic).

I would love another game like UT or Quake that is actually good. It's like the games trying to be Doom throwbacks (Serious Sam, Hard Reset) completely misunderstanding what made Doom so great. Nexuiz / Warsow / the other one, all of those tried to bring back that style of FPS but failed at it because they were just bad.

Watch as Doom 4 apes the Call of Duty style MP with xp and assault rifle unlocks.

Necromancers aren't in the business of dealing with ghosts, just the gross stuff that gets left behind; you'd need a witch or something like that to be raising ghosts. I mean in theory you could be both, but that would take quite a while.

There are some rumors going on right now that the console versions have some serious framerate issues in later zones. If you want reasons to wait a bit longer.

It looks like they also had issues optimizing the lighting engine, so it's been downgraded/removed along with lower textures.

Look at the difference between the builds. Yikes.

It looks like a muddy mess, it could end up having the best gameplay in the world and that would not change anything.

It could be worse, they could be going the Far Cry 3 route and photoshopping the gently caress out of every press release shot to try and cover it up:

To be fair, while the gameplay is important, the other 40% of what makes Souls games so drat good is the atmosphere, and that comes from proper lighting, ambient sound, and setting.

If the console versions don't have good lighting and the PC version does, then that's a huge issue. I'd consider that alone worth the wait, not even counting frame rate issue rumors.

So what was your favorite robot suit in Metal Warriors? Don't forget that an answer of anything but the havok is wrong because chainsaw swords are awesome.

This may be controversial and it's certainly limited to which map you're playing on but the Drache's drill spin attack is pro as gently caress and you can really wreck people's poo poo with it.
