I've posted this picture in a couple of other forums now, but I figure I'll post it here as well.

A vertical shooter on an HD screen.  Oh, the black bar-ness!

Well...

1. I don't have an HD TV.

2. My TV does that with Gamcube Ikaruga, and I don't really care.

Oh, you already have Ikaruga?  Then you don't need a 360.

Like the version of star soldier for the psp, you have to turn it on its side, either way the black bars dont bother me

Widescreen TVs kick ass... except for pre-Dreamcast era console gaming.  Then only CRT SDTV will do.

Anyway if the game offered a "tate" mode and you tilted an HDTV sideways, you'd get something like this:

They should just make a tate mode that's skinnier so it would fit, and we would all LOL at playing it un-titled as it would be even worse.

From what I read, the graphics are supposed to be redone for the 360. So it may be worth playing in 720p, even on a widescreen. If you have a projector, it doesn't matter if you're only left with a 58" playing area.

I don't have Rez, and I'd rather pay $500+ for a fully functional game system than just for the Rez PS2 disc alone...

Fully functional game system?  I thought this thread was abut the Xbox360.  Good luck getting a fully functional one that doesn't break down on you.

BTW... Dreamcast REZ is better than PS2 REZ.  It runs in 480p and therefore looks much cleaner with less jaggies.

haha yup..  about 95% of the people I know including myself have had the system break down due to heating problems...   the other 5% have had their 360 for 2 years and still going.

You should get the 360's with HDMI ready as these will have the updated heat sinks which are slightly more reliable (well they dont heat up as much as the older versions)  as the back of the 360 the fan extracts air as hot as a hair dryer!!!!!   Since I gotten mine back the air extracted at the back  feels a bit warmer than the air that comes out of the power supply unit of my pc.

Or you could wait even more longer till the 65ns chips come out offering even more reliability.. although no one is gonna know when these hit the shops..

From everything I've read, the HDMI 360's don't have the new cooler hardware yet, but its supposed to get phased in by the end of the year.

100% of the people I know have had no problems with their 360's. :wink: I seriously think that many people hook them up without the video cable fully connected or something else simple that causes red rings and just freak out.

It's seriously going to be a long time before I can get a 360.  Most people I know have had their's breakdown.  One of my friends is on his third :P  I just can't put up with that.  I know there will be a game or 2 here & there that I'll want, but, I can't chance wasting money on a 360 system.  I'll just pick up the games I know I want for it, when I see them go cheap(like the LE Perfect Dark Zero I got new for $10 as TRU).  Otherwise, I have a PS3 now, & will someday get a Wii.  They both seem really reliable.........so far.

That's why you buy the Euro DC release...

Like any shooter, there is so little text in Rez it just doesn't matter. If language is a barrier, then Rez is wasted on you anyway. Rez transcends language...all six words of it.

Anyway, I find excitement over ports like this to be kind of lame. To me its basically people getting excited because back in the day they wasted their money on PS2 shit like GTAIII, which is now worth less than $5, and didn't buy Rez, which is now worth...well, pretty much what it cost originally, and actually has a lasting appeal. I bought a EU DC copy for $40. I don't think its much more than that now, is it?

They are the same people that played MHSvsSF, or KOF on Playstation, and then got so excited when they heard about Final Burn because now the cash they wasted on mainstream crap isn't so painful.

Trigger Heart isn't that great, but Ikaruga and Rez are legends, IMO. Still, if patient they can be had for $50 each, or less, which is a fuckload less than a new system. Furthermore, playing these games in a Sega system is true, where as playing them on the 360 is false.

the ikaruga and rez news doesn't excite me much personally - since i imported both of those gems the day they first hit the dreamcast.
(did the same for trigger heart excelica - which is definitely not a "must have" - and every other dreamcast shooter for that matter)
however, it's rad that cats who were too silly not to do that now have a chance to atone for their sins :wink:

news of the original shooter by hudson is what has me stoked out of my socks:

getting closer to having to buy a 360 now.

The game does offer a "tate" mode so no worries there...as the graphics go, the resolution should be sharp in 720p and 1080i so that the polys don't look soft.

Another reason to buy these games on 360 is that most are now offering online co-op play.  I've bought Streets of Rage II on Wii, but when it was released on Xbox Live Arcade I had to buy it as it had not only HD smoothed graphics, but online co-op and online vs mode as well (oh and achievements to get my gamerscore up).

Online co-op for classic games on newer consoles is very cool. 8)

Sure you can do it through computer emulation, but losers like me don't play games on computers, and its cool to hook up with people through Gamertags and you can private chat while you play. :P

It's just ease of use too on the 360...it is very easy to see which one of your friends are online and what they are playing.  Then you can just send them a request to play a game then pow, you're in.

BTW, if anyone has sigs turned off then you can't see my gamertag banner which shows my gamerscore, games recently played, etc.
