Dead or Alive 4... for the XB360?

[OB1]

I'm curious as to how you're qualifying that. Especially seeing as how the hardware is not even finalized.

Watch Gears of War yet? How about Project Gotham 3? What's your take on those?

Oh for fuck's sake, is that going to be the xbot slogan this generation? "It's not on final hardware OMG!!!". The system launches in SIX MONTHS, boyee!

I'm "qualifying" this by looking at the leaps from past years. Everyone at MS is talking about how the XB360 is "six times more powerful than XB", yet all we've seen so far is stuff that looks like it came from MS's own 32X-type device. So far, the leap is nowhere near even the N64-DC leap. PGR3 looks great, but again still not next-gen. Gears of Wars... let's wait until they show some better video of it running off of XB360 hardware.

4 year technological gap.

That's irrelevant. We're going from a 700 Ghz cpu, 64 MB of ram, and a GPU capable of pumping out at the most 25 million polygons ----> 3*3.2 Ghz cpu, 512 MB of ram, and a GPU capable of pushing out 500 million polygons with non-trivial shaders. That's a significant increase in power, way more than anything you're seeing right now on PC.

Like I said, people are being way to hasty in their judgement on next gen.

Complete nonsense. We're not even getting stuff as good as PS2 FMV. The leap so far looks tiny. Nothing comes close to stuff like Unreal 3.
