2 Xbox Live enabled demos
Darkwatch
Battlefield 2 Modern Combat
The cover is Gotham 3. They talk about how it takes 6 weeks to make 1 car because of the detail the 360 allows. The also fully rendered the interior of every car WOOT!!!!!!!!. They said the interior of the cars sport well over 40,000 polygons. They showed a almost finished interior and it was amazing.
They have a interview with the head of the Xbox 360 hardware team(cant remember name magazine is at work). He said they had about 1000 names for the new hardware. Then brought that down to 4 major considerations.
Xbox 2 <-- said it was too bland
Xbox FS <-- said that was a mix of some other considerations and needed explaining
Xbox HD <-- Stood for High Definition but people where mistaking it for hard drive
Xbox 360
Battlefield Demo:
I only played on one map so i dont know how many levels in the demo.
The game is standard Battlefield fair. I was in the PS2 beta and the xbox version is a PS2 port. Slightly updated graphics, smooth framerate, and self shadowing are whats extra.
The gameplay seems like it could be really fun(i just feel the controls are alittle floaty on the L stick). You switch weapons by holding the L trigger and using the R stick to move onto the weapon(WTF).
By far the ugliest menus in a xbox live title. 24 players online at a time in the demo just like the retail and NO LAGGGGGGGGG. I guess EA got it right on there sever side. The gameplay seems like it can be highly addictive so i'd definitely say to check it out.
Darkwatch:
2 maps. Standard deathmatch. No one was on so i did't get to play.
