Very nice, they better hurry up and release the new Fallout, and Fallout MMO or they're gonna look like the Flintstones!

Meh, the cars look like toys, and its still looks like a DX9 game circa 2005/6.....I wonder why?

Just LOL.

Seriously all these "body moving" interfaces seem like a lot of hassle. Even thought control is a hassle....having to think certain thoughts.

On the other hand your fingers can be moved with basically NO EFFORT (you hardly even have to think). We already have a great devices (hands) evolved over millions of years to transfer thought into precise movements.

Look at a concert pianist. None of these flashy looking interfaces are going to be able to compete with the sheer "bandwidth" of kinetic info you can transmit through your fingers.

Doesnt look very slim.

Maybe if it were in context with a current 360, without that...

LOL. Yeah, I agree, but MS is no Japanese outfit. Everything MS makes is chunky, including their controllers, and even their software!....bloatware much.

There is like 5 wizards in Tolkien world and in this game you can play as a human wizard??? Also it's Myrkwood, not Murkwood... Anyway, wait and see is my mantra, but trashing the Tolkien world to look more attractive to the players who need to shoot fireball is not a good start.Franko_3

Screw the lore, ruins game play. In fact, they should make games based *loosely* on the Second Age, so we can have more powerful magic, and no straightjacket into the classic LOTR storyline/. I think (hope) LOTR is just used as a marketing gimmick to get people to buy it.

Well, they haven't removed ANY of the features I bought the PS3 for, so I don't really care.

MAYBE you bought the PS3 for the wrong reasons :roll:

GhoX

I think that the wrong attitude to have.

So what your saying is, you don't care simply because the features removed weren't the features that YOU particularly care about.....honestly that sounds rather selfish.

I mean, shouldn't you care on the general principle of consumer rights? Shouldn't you care that big corporations can just arbitrarily crap on people and get away with it?

Seriously, isn't what your saying selfish?

Removal of features is perfectly legal grounds on which to sue. If I sold you care advertised to do 0-60 in 5 secs. Later I send out a patch to the engine management system that increases your fuel consumption but reduces your car speed to 0-60 in 8 seconds, you'd be mad. Sony advertised a feature that they are retrospectively removing.

In Europe 100% they will get sued, there's now a specific law "Significantly not as described". In the US the law tends to favour corporations and not individuals, but they may still get into trouble.

Can anyone say they are suprised at Sony? I mean they are notorious for what rootkits, fake film reviews, need for speical "sony" type connectors, lovers of DRM etc etc.

I'm more worried about framerate than anything else. I mean this is supposed to be some sort of quasi shooter. The multi player shooting in GTAIV was pathetic. So they need to worry less about textures and marketing bull-shots and make sure it runs decently when you get into a saloon shootout.

lol, pew pew!

Sony won't lose this.
