General gaming news

For some reason I get EGM magazine so it's in there. Sure you could find some proof from someone out there who scans the magazine.

Socom beta's are pretty awful. It's essentially the final copy of the game sans a few minor tweaks (there were a ton of bugs reported for Socom 3 and all of them made it to the final version)

I'll put up a video to compare s1 to scon when videos are allowed, pretty stark difference.

This is going to be a horrible game if they don't fix things.

Dont know what to say the demo was great and this game reminds me alot of jedi outcast.

Said a long time ago that this was just going to be a shitty shooter with the Socom name tagged on for notoriety.

I'd just wait for the real thing and not even worry about Confrontation.

When is that due out? Sucks I might have to wait for resistance for a new shooter.

[izembo]

dont know why you think this is a shitty game

[BarthelloSylph]

Does anyone know if PS3 version of Rock Band 2 will feature wireless/bluetooth equipment?

[izembo]

doubtful

I've been seeing some pretty awful reviews of Force Unleashed too, which has been really surprising to me since I loved the beta.

[Burner]

I've been loving Confrontation. Still trying to get use to the controls and the recoil on the guns though. Only thing I'm not crazy about is being able to hear people near you through your speakers, not sure if it can be adjusted or anything but hearing what's going on in other peoples back rounds is for the birds.

[izembo]

yea that noise is annoying

Where, Im intrigued, i watched some of gamespots game night on it and it looks like its going to be awesome, the demo I loved it and all of the noteworthy sites except gamespot dont even have a copy yet. Gamespot hasnt posted its review yet for it, but I can care less what they review it, going to be a great game.

Edit: I see EGM and 1up was stated, both are laughable reviewing sources, those idiots by far have the worst track record when it comes to reviewing games. I have yet to agree with either of them personaly on anything they've graded poor.

Izembo are you enjoying Confrontation? Maybe I'll catch you online sometime.

[izembo]

for the most part, still getting used to the horrid kickback

I can see the possibility if this was just one review but these are probably the only reviews out there and they all basically say the same things are wrong with it. I'm not much of a Star Wars fan but I can see how in later levels if almost every single enemy has some sort of anti force device the game could blow some serious chunks.

Plus this is a multiplatform game there is very little reason for them to be bias.

[Kyo]

Eh, If thats the case then of people having anti force devices, thats another way to challenge the player to find diffrent ways to defeat foes or balancing teh game to the point to where you use the saber, instead of always using powers. I read it and it seems like their nit picking bad. As far as the bias statement, it wasnt implied in my post in anyway, so dunnow here you dug that up. Historicaly for me, both places have given shit reviews and I dont read them anymore regulary.

[BRP]

Gamespot... Good

EGM... Bad

At least you didn't say IGN.

[SwampdonkeyPLD]

What determines when the game launches in confrontation? Games take like 10 mins to launch.

This is going to be a horrible game if they don't fix things.

It's borderline unplayable right now, I know beta's get off to rough starts, but jesus christ. It takes me a good 10-15 minutes to just be able to join a match (my clanmates suffer from it also) I can't fully determine how the gameplay is because I haven't gotten a chance to play it fully, but the game just seemed clunky.

Edit: Heh, looks like you suffer from it also.

Wow why would they take away run and gun....

It feels and controls like the psp version (I was hoping it'd be nothing similar as shooting on that game was a complete fucking chore) but so far so bad. The recoil the guns have when you're in close combat is hilarious; aiming at someone's chest and seeing the crosshair shoot straight up towards the sky is leet.

yeah IGN cant review games for shit either, only places Ive seen review games pretty well is gamespot,game informer and most the time gamespy.
