Now I have to save up £150

[whipped]

This (http://www.game.uk.com/review.asp?tab=xb&rev_id=145891) just shipped in the US. So hopefully I'll be able to get my hands on that funky controller very, very soon.

FGS!
Ok ok, I saw it on the telly and it looked quite appealing. The japs are well into this genre and this is a monster in Japan I'm told.
And people spend far more on flight sim setups, although they can be used for multiple games.....

 

[old.UKTwister]

well i've read that about 20 of the buttons just start up engines and stuff

for £150 I'd bloody well hope it can be used on other games

I think there's talk of a sequel, which would obviously use it. But other than that, nothing does.

 

[old.UKTwister]

obviously for most western people its stupid.

but for those crazy japs its a dream

There is going to be a sequel and it's going to be Xbox Live! compatible. Basically, Microsoft asked the developers of the game, whose name escapes me, what their dream game would be. They told them of this mech game with a really cool joystick and Microsoft went and built it

*IF* enough people bought it, more games would be made for it and the controller would come down in price. you could even see other companies making there own cheaper versions of the controller.

 

[legendario]

What a waste of money.

The game will be shit anyway.

 

[whipped]

The game will rock. Just check out the official japanese website.

Also, who could not want one after seeing this :-

That black box to the left of the TV put me off a bit.

From Software...

...is it not?

and steel battalion will absolutely fucking rock i for one will be buying it...

by the way kev... it was meant to come out on PS2....M$ went and stole it though which is not that bad a thing as it happens bcos basically the xbox has more grunt... oh, and it will firm up their image in japan... which might mean that we get more quality japanese gamez on xbox.... all in all GG WP

I'm sure it's great value for console nurds.

 

[old.Kez]

You know, when a joystick dwarves the television, there's something inherently wrong.

 

[Mr. 47]

i agree, get a PC and ut2003 NOW!!!!!!!!!

you know you want to!!!

 

[old.UKTwister]

play unreal championship in the comfort of a nice coal fire and a 32" Sony widescreen with dolby surround sound.

Or i could play UT2003 in the freezing anti-social bedroom with little heat from the radiator and a 17" monitor.

Hmmmmmmm.... I think i know what i'd rather do...


(ps) not the second one

 

[Embattle]

I certainly know which control method I prefer :sleeping:

 

[old.Kez]

You're a big girl, emb.

 

[Mr. 47]

useing a mouse and keyboard is so much easyer than twating around with a control pad

 

[old.UKTwister]

So your tellin me that the Halo control method is too hard? hmm it's not far off a mouse

This couldnt be said about timesplitters 2 though. Most retarded controls ever. But it's still good fun!

The game is created so that "mouse-n-keyboard" type controls aren't needed. The contoller works perfectly.

Though I spose, you would find that conclusion walking past a shop mumbling to yourself about how the xbox is shit.

Heh, its dead annoying innit. And the speed of the game is annoying too. It's like Halo on crack

 

[Embattle]

I find that conclusion, you retarded fish, because I've played it and played many PC FPS games.

Another disadvantage of the Xbox has to be its retarded users, as proven time and time again in this forum.

 

[shabazz]

Oh, sorry, you're obviously the king of everything because you say so.

 

[Embattle]

Not because I say so, but because most people say so :sleeping:

Tbh, I'm with Embattle on this one. It's funny how all the fuckwits (UKTwister, Shabazz, unakc, Kippa) all own Xbox's.


I feel no more needs pointing out.

 

[shabazz]

I love you too Bodhi :x
