It's only 304MB and it's f***ing great. Grabbing this one when it comes out. You gotta dl it asap. I might even play through it again.

Take MadEx's word for it, the demo is awesone and it's a beta. The game gives you a taste of the power that the 360 really has.

Still, I'm not that sure if I'll get it since I'm afraid it might get old after a few hours, so I'll look into first reviews to see if there's enough variety in the game.

Lost planet = everyone says great graphics, looks like it'll get boring quickly
ok but where did you reach that conclusion all you played was the DEMO. You have no idea so stop wasting our time.
GoW = wow great graphics. Boring? No no way none of you says it'll be boring. Not for the most overhyped game in xbox history. More than halo.
Both games will be great. But you really need to give games a chance before jumping to conclusions. That's why there are demos. If you aren't satisfied with lost planet. I feel sorry for you. not every game is gonna be a halo. That's just a fact.
I found it to be very enjoyable. THe fact is in...gamers standards are set to high. There are gonna be alot of disappointed people if a game isn't waht you expect. I'm sure you'll speak a different tune of this game was hyped more than GoW. That's just the way it is. Tell me I'm wrong.
Wait for reviews but I think this game will be good. Levels seems long and detailed with nice enemies. ANd there are only 2 levels on teh demo. I can't wait to see how many levels will be in the final game.

My favorite part was near the beginning of the snow pirates stage. I killed the first few snow pirates and then went foward towards the bottom of the first watch tower. Well, being the first time I played it, I didn't know about the missle launchers across the stage. They fired at me and by the time I realised what the massive fireball coming at me was, I got blown backwards along with all of the watch tower. That was f**king amazing!

Your a hard one to satisfy kernel, I thought it was very cool. Watiing for Halo 3 are we? I hope that isn't the only game your going to get.
I never said anything bad about the game, i just didn't like it (my preference) but the grpahics are good and makes me feel excited to see what future releases will look like. As for Halo 3, i will probably get hyped and buy it but i have never been all that impressed by there series..
But it does look sweet on my 100" HDTV Front Projector TV just had more fun playing UNO, LOL
Now I want to see "Altered Beast" on XBL Arcade and I will be happy

I agree, I was looking forward to this but it was pretty crap.
Aiming isn't great, 2nd big bug thing in the building killed me even after emptying all my Machine Gun & Rocket ammo into it.
Footprints disappear
Deleted the Demo and the Trailers I thought were good.
I wouldn't class it as next-gen, GOW is Next Gen, this isn't.
I like amount of content they are putting on the Marketplace now.

You have to aim at the glowing orange tail part. Anything else won't affect it. The second big bug is easy to kill with the mech suit!
Have fun!

The Graphics are simply jaw droping, easily better then anything I've seen on the console yet. The animation and the flash light effects when you go into darker areas... simply stunning.
The first mission scared the hell out of me. I was consentrating on all the little bug things when you pass under the land bridge. I was sort of walking backwards just admiring the scenery and I stopped moving so I turned around only to see the enormous bug monser getting ready to stab me
I almost shat myself seeing that larger then life on my HD projector.Obviously the demo doesn't give us any taste of the storyline, and it's clear there are some tweaks to be worked out with the game play. Moving the character is a bit too tight and slow, while moving the crosshairs is a bit too loose.
If they worked out the UI issues (which really arn't THAT bad) and added a decent story (which if you watched the trailer it looks like there IS a really good story) this could turn out to be an awesome game. If anything it looks like a playable Starship Troopers.
As of right now it plays like a tech demo, and honestly I felt like I was playing a pre-rendered cut scene... I have no doubt GoW, CO3, or even Killzone 2 graphics are possible on this console. It's just a matter of seeing the developer make good use of it.
Post by: hamwbone on May 10, 2006, 11:29:00 PM
had some friends over tonite and handed them the controller before showing them the game, and they were in awe. the giant creatures movement is so fuid. the explosions are room shaking. very fun!

too true. i finally played the demo briefly last night after having the E3 party at deftech's place. truely i did not expect the game to look and play this good. i saw the demo a couple days ago on my bro's regular TV and was mildly impressed but playing on my HDTV was like another world. a lot goes on with particle effects (snow, sparks, debri, etc.) and no matter what it stays silky smooth. i also got a Starship Troopers vibe when gunning down hords of bugs in the parking lot section of the demo with the green blood exploding everywhere thanks to my shotgun
yes, i was wrong and now i do believe that killzone level graphics are nearly reachable on our beloved system.
Post by: XBANDGUY on May 11, 2006, 09:24:00 AM
I could be wrong but I thought I saw in the options look sensitivity.
I was impressed with this demo and look forward to the final product.
Post by: dabigdilla on May 11, 2006, 09:57:00 AM
but, at first it was kinda boring. empty clip after clip into bugs that barely even tried to kill me. I did make it to that big fugger in the hangar, but died quick. the controls take some getting used to.
then i played the next level. big difference fighting humans, good AI to go against.
i'll hafta play thru again and see if i notice anything major in the graphics. the first level i found it hard to even see the enemy spiders because the snowfall was so cloudy....probably on purpose but i couldnt tell what the hell they looked like up close. plus the fact that the footprints disappear......those little things. explosions are ok, every games has a different type of course, this one is ok. i wasn't really like: wow, look at that explosion! like i was in graw.
aiming takes getting used too as well, but not hindering the gameplay. I think it wouldn've been better in first person, imo.
have questions:
Do those orange glow boxes left from dead enemies restore health? is that your health meter at the top left? and it keeps going down as time ticks unless you pick up those orange packs? weird.
Also, do you get to try the mech in the demo, second level? i fought with it some, died, but didn't see another mech that was empty.
Post by: Joergen on May 11, 2006, 02:55:00 PM
Its little touches like those destructable elements (that blow up with decent physics too not just animations) that give a nice deal more oomph.
Its funny though, I bet the PS5 and Xbox 4 will still have plenty of games where most of the stuff isnt any more destrucable than most games today. Some devs just dont see the light of physics. Gladly Bungie already did with Halo2 (within the limits of the xbox) as did Valve, and the non-visionary folks might just follow suit.

what i like is withi the robot mech you can add on additional guns to it. THe ones that have the blue around them I think. Makes killing easier.
you can pick them up and carry them by hand too... it's pretty badd-ass
I think if they tweaked the controls a little bit, made it play a little faster and more fluid this will be a must buy for me

Those incease the number in the upper left of the HUD. I believe you can't stay in the cold too long (acts much like a timer, ie. complete the level before that number hits zero)

Also someone mentioned a problem with the demo locking up their 360.I had that happen with the Test Drive Demo but not with the Lost Planet Demo,at least not yet.
