The 360 is being sold for £97 in Japan with the games being £15(!) :shock:

BTW no need to panic if you think that the 360 is being discontinued in Japan....this ad extract was actually taken away from a standard promotional giveaway with mobiles. Basically sign up to a contract, and get a discount on a 360 ;)

Doesn't take much does it ;)

As you can see, Forza is in the Updated section. Which means the backwards compat software has been updated for that game.
 
Re: XBox 360 - Official Thread

lol @ LemonJelly fair enough. Hopefully they will sort out the diabolical frame rate then!

VT3 has only been confirmed for the arcade and only arcade screens have been shown.

It's rumoured to be coming to PS3 but VT3 has nothing to do with 360 so far.
 
Re: XBox 360 - Official Thread

I thought that as well NickSCFC, I found it odd when tevez said VT was coming out on 360. Ive only heard PS3 in terms of console release which is rather annoying.

I think its because of the new SEGA arcade boards, which are using an nvidia GPU, so porting to the PS3 will be very esay.
 
Re: XBox 360 - Official Thread

Yep they will have to do a lot of re-writing so that it would work on the Custom ATI Chip inside the 360.

Re: XBox 360 - Official Thread

Its the same with VF4 being a PS3 exclusive it may be the same with all new Sega arcade games
 
Re: XBox 360 - Official Thread

Played the BF demo.... must say I really enjoy it. The graphics look nicer than the PC version (also because my PC aint that great), and the controls are really easy. Theres alot going on in the big maps, with noise coming from all directions. The helicopters are fucking great! Too bad I flew into a building on my first go.
 
Re: XBox 360 - Official Thread

i was saying i hope it will be like virtua tennis,just played it to,nice graphics and easy controls but not as good as g.r.a.w.
 
Re: XBox 360 - Official Thread

Ok Datel 4GB Hard Drive = Rip Off!! You can only use it for Music or Pictures you cannot use it for save games or any other things! whats the point?

DJ
 
Re: XBox 360 - Official Thread

Its the same as any other memory key or mp3 player.

Only1tevez - I think BF has a better multiplayer mode than GRAW, but the other way round for single player. The fact that GRAW reduces the graphics and makes the game faster on multiplayer reduces some of the realism IMO.
 
Re: XBox 360 - Official Thread

Still think its a bit of a rip off and some people will buy it thinking it will replace the official Xbox 360 Hard Drive.

Anyway will try out the BF2 demo in about an hours time when I eventually get home from work.

Re: XBox 360 - Official Thread

I was really enjoying BF2 last night but i came to realise that i really don't like Americans there voices go right through me. Sorry to anyone offended by that.
 
Re: XBox 360 - Official Thread

Lol dude just turn off your volume on your headset :) if its in game voice overs then turn down your TV.

Re: XBox 360 - Official Thread

Excellent! my mate (who is a big fan of smackdown) will love this and will get a 360 now!

DJ
 
Re: XBox 360 - Official Thread

smackdown for 360 :) . one reason less to buy PS3. now they need to make some good rally game for 360 like WRC. i hope we see games with that new crytek engine on 360!
 
Re: XBox 360 - Official Thread

:) APX the problem is WRC is developed by a Sony In House Team is it not? I tell you what a decent rally game on 360 would be immense! Imagine the graphics of PGR combined with the Realism of WRC Extreme!

DJ
 
Re: XBox 360 - Official Thread

Just to add since the Live Backward Compatibility Update yesterday Forza Motorsport is screwed! I did the Impreza Vs Lancer Challenge in my done up Impreza and the sounds were all messed up! horrible whistles whilst I was revving the engine at the startline. Continuos tyre screeching even after I had been off the start line for a good 10 seconds! 20 seconds after sliding off the track I could still hear the skidding sound effect and the effect of me bouncing across the grass..... Wat the fuck?

Re: XBox 360 - Official Thread

Tell you what'd be great on 360 - Forza @ 60fps, or using whatever technique PGR3 uses as that's not 60fps but feels like it is.
 
Re: XBox 360 - Official Thread

Unlikely to happen ClassicD but I feel your pain.
