I would be very, very interested in learning how they did that. That has got to be the most awesome trailer I have ever seen ever. But that guy at the end, was he cross-eyed? #residentevilthedarksidechronic...
@andrewwyatt: Like all magic tricks, the explanation behind it is actually pretty simple - The entire top area of that trailer is one giant flash movie (the Racoon City AD is a dead giveaway), so they can pretty much do whatever they want to that area during the trailer. And flash interactivity is not uncommon - just look at all the flash games out there!
It is expertly executed though, even though I see it coming a mile and a half away. #residentevilthedarksidechronic...
@jamuszero: Yeah, looking at the side ads kind of throws it. Like the ad on the right showing a guy who looks suspiciously like Wesker. It really is all smoke and mirrors, but they're excellently placed smoke and mirrors. #residentevilthedarksidechronic...
@kearneybobs: The Shake It video is pretty cool, but Darkside Chronicles takes it further by the fact that you can interact with the video. #residentevilthedarksidechronic...
@Mact: The lag on the pointer was terrible for me. And i didn't really get it at first, because i had my adblock plus enabled. Both have thier merits, just one of them is better implimented than the other. #residentevilthedarksidechronic...
Great marketing. It won't make me go out to buy a Wii (again) to play this, but if I had a Wii I would definitely think twice about it, then not buy it.
However, getting me engaged and doing something I've never seen before goes a long way in my mind for future purchases, even though rail shooters aren't my thing. #residentevilthedarksidechronic...
@Yossarian: Would it work for the better for M$ though? If gold subscription was to double, I would simply just move onto PS3 and play online there. Sure I will miss out on some of the 360 exclusives, but I would rather do that than to pay double. And I am sure I am not alone on this.
Of course, in some warped world where M$ dominates the market, they would probably pull that trick(yes, they want money, surprise), but in the real world, doing that would probably just convert a whole lot of people to PS3 or back to PC, I would say. So, IMO, I think it's highly unlikely that M$ would double the price of gold. #bonusround
@NekoCake: See, I thought MS was planning on eventually bringing the cost of the service down to zero as the revenue gets replaced by micro-transactions and marketplace sales.
I didn't think there would be any way they could *increase* the cost, especially with the PS3 finally starting to make a sales splash.
That's why I was hoping McWhertor knew a little more about what Pachter said. Pachter is, after all, the supposed market expert, so you'd think he'd know a little about stuff like this... #bonusround
@Yossarian: I dont see how this can possible happen. I have the next 3 yrs paid off already, how will they charge me more for an already paid subscription? #bonusround
Looks interesting. Borderlands has been totally under my radar and might pick it up if its coming out for PC. Hopefully its a lot better than STALKER which I found disappointing. I'd love to try these DLC's for GTA but I have a ps3 :p I really liked how that one suit guy mentioned that MS is ultimately responsible for not wanting to port its games to PC because it forces players interested in an IP to buy a 360....damn
@anduin1: From what I've read and seen in Video Previews and Reviews... it's NOTHING like STALKER. STALKER was a very rigid and technical game in terms of controls and progression, at least that was my take on it (I bought it when it came out, and have tried it after each update since).
Borderlands on the otherhand, looks a lot smoother in movement and combat, and considering its made in the Unreal Engine, you can probably expect something between the range of Rainbow Six Vegas games and UT3... though I'm staying somewhat optimistic and hoping it handles better than both (at least for the console [PS3] version -- PC has a more room for custom controls).
IGN has a Video Review of it for the 360 Version on their site. Check it out if you want to see it in action. Compare their review to Kotaku's for an average understanding on what to expect (each site had a slightly different take on some of the aspects of the game). #bonusround
@henhowc: Nope, Run chrome, so no ad-blocker. and its not to do with the KFC Ad's, it all worked fine last week.
It opens n starts buffering the clip, but the nub won't start playing, just says "loading" in the middle of the screen. Hasn't fixed itself since yesterday.
@deanbmmv: Weird. That's exactly what I see when I have ad block enabled. Does it work in IE or Firefox? Do other videos work? As a side note, in the past I've had issues with Gametrailers and it turned out to be ISP related.

And I agree, it was better than the Darkside Chronicles trailer. #residentevilthedarksidechronic...

Paraphrasing, he said that he expect the cost of XBox Live gold to increase dramatically in the near future.
Did you follow up on this with him perchance, or know anything else about this prediction of his? #bonusround
