Just Not Impressed With Xbox 360 Options

[fatlip180]

Hi ive been reading on these forums for ages now and i have been very excited about the new xbox 360. Ive always bought consoles ever since the snes.

Now, the other day i bought the new xbox 360 - i didnt preorder for some stupid reason, but was lucky enough to be pre warned that comet were selling 10 more a few mins before they actually went on sale, so i snapped one up. Its a core edition and i have got fifa and kong kong for it.

However after buying a Hi def cable for it, all i can say is im not impressed at all. I am absolutely disgusted with fifa, due to the appauling framerate issues, specially when viewing replays.

King kong is better, no frame rate issues at all that i can see, but the graphics arent what i would call 'next gen' at all. In fact ive just upgraded my computer (3500+ 64, 1gb, o/c'd x800gto to x850pe speeds) and im playing a lot on f.e.a.r and its miles better than king kong. visually.

At this rate im gonna sell my xbox 360 i dont think its as good as the hype made it up to be. which is a shame, i loved the xbox

Why is my comment so absurd? is it wrong to expect quality for something i just bought?

maybe from a normal developer but we are talking about ea here - a massive massive company,

how much of a good impression does MS want to make? do they not quality check anything?

end of the day wether its a launch title or not do we just lay back and say ' oh well, its a launch title? its to be expected?'

do all the ps3 fanboys look at fifa on xbox 360 and go, 'its a launch title, we'll forgive the framerate issues'

no, they would rightly so slate it.

How could any1, EA or someone else allow a game to pass through with the joke that that is?

wow, you really know little of console development. yes its to be expected because its a launch title. how many consoles have you had at launch?? there is nothing wrong if you expect quality for a new purchase but going to EA is the wrong place to be looking. and no the ps3 fanboys will look at the frame rate issues and vomit crap up like "fifa will run at 120 frame per second on our system!! because out buddy kenny k says so!!" but most of them are as uneducated and confused as you are. to me most EA games are a joke and as far as i know, MS only has a set list of requirements for their games to be passed (widescreen, 720p, etc.) but doesnt actually consult a publisher because of framerate issues. again your looking at the wrong games, how about playing games ACTUALLY optimized for the system like condemned, CoD2, PGR3, or kameo?? if your still dissapointed then this coming generation will be nothing but dissapointments for you.
