New Huxley Info!

[Biddy]

Its just a little blurb, but this was in the latest "Play" magazine.

In the newest issue of "Play" it has a short blurb about Huxley.
-On schedule for fall release for both Xbox 360 & PC.
-Netcode already running that lets PC & Xbox 360 players play on the same 'world', playing with & against each other.
-Ranking system for 'leadership' with rewards like 'tactical field strikes'.

Quote about the PC/XBox integration:

"Huxley netcode is already supporting multiplayer gameplay between both versions of the title. In short: owners of Huxley on PC will be able to headshot Huxley players on X360 and vice-versa."

This was posted orginally by one of our guys on the FS forums. If someone actually subscribes to Play magazine and can confirm this, it would be nice.

Well now the xbox 360 version has hope if they are indeed going to share the same servers with us.

but the mouse is still more powerful then the controller :P

[Drake]

I would like to see a controller player, no matter how good, outaim a decent mouse user. Oh wait, it wouldn't happen.

[TheCox]

lmao, ya too bad tho im a console gamer myself, who has now switched over to PC gamer probably for good now.

[devynmapes]

Usta play on consoles, over the time, computers started to dominate, I got one, havnt played many more console games. The PC is so much better.

LOL, YOU think you can handle huxley on highest with a ATI x550 ?

and 768 MB ram ? and a 1.6 ghz CPU ?

i will own you with my xbox 360 because you cant aim good because of the THE LOW FRAME RATES !

the producer of huxley already said: xbox 360 is beyond the pc technology

and controllers aim nice, atleast if the game is good, see GRAW

i can aim as the best !

oke , mouse is the best, but you cant use it because you PC gamers will die because of the low FPS ( not if you set it on low or have high end video cards 7800 or greater )

xt850pro... 2.5 gigs of ram.. you'd be dead before you even got the chance to shoot him :P

i actually think that really sucks for xbox360 users... i used to be a big console gamer, and a controller cannot compare to a mouse, no matter how good you are.

it'll probably be pretty easy to tell who's on a console, and again i feel bad because they're going to have a tough time even reaching the average gaming level of a PC user.

this is bad news for xbox360 users :P i'd be pissed if i were you

i used to play FPS (ut, quake 3) games on a crappy system that got about 25 FPS avg and i was very good at it.

the difference between skilled mouse users and skilled controller users will be very evident in this game and the matter can be settled once and for all. mouse users will own xbox360 players if they have any skill at all.

There wont be forced combat across platforms but certain zones at max.

well, what can i say, i want an xbox 360, although i love PCs to bits, im still wondering, which format it will be better on, xboxs do get the nifty head sets etc. but, the PC have to good ol' keyboard. its a tough decision, and my views on this agrument are that there are very good PC players and very good xbox players. so i say who the hell cares, all the money for huxley is going to the same company, the more players, the more money, the better huxley will be :D

true... but once again, a good pc player is going to demolish any good xbox player. mouse > controller.

its great this is being done, its a big step towards integrating PC-Console games... but again, I would *NOT* buy this for the xbox360 if I had a PC available as well. Why would anyone knowingly handicap themselves like that? This is an FPS game, where your tweak skill equates to how well you do in-game. If a controller is going to severely limit that skill, why choose to go that way?

[Lexion]

/agree



Ppl who are less skilled with how to use a PC, installation wise, control tweak wise, graphic wise and so on, will choose the Xbox360 version cause its alot easier to get started with. Pop in the disc n go. Thats another reason why the Xbox:ers as a whole will never be able to beat the PC community.

[Nishua]

Please lets not have a mouse and controller debate. Theres no point arguing because Xbox360 owners can easily connect a mouse to their console systems.

hold a sec. , HOLD A SEC>


WHO IS TELLING THIS IS TRUE

THIS IS just a magazine !

c'mon guys , i only believe the word of the devs !

and the magazine guy, give me proof

[KingGryphon]

Whether this is off topic or not, the mouse will only be most helpful while sniping (better accuracy). However, if you have two grunts running at each other spraying bullets everywhere, will accuracy really matter? If your job is to just shoot at other people, who cares about accuracy.

Hold on, did you just say us PC gamers wont be able to play because of bad frame rate?? HAHA, ok. If anything it will be the xbox users that wont be able to play due to bad framerate. I mean just look at Quake 4 for the xbox.

Right on the money. While a console is made to play games, and most PC's arnt (mine is :P), a PC can adjust it's own game's video settings, Console's can't. So that means if the console slows down (which video clips show 360 footage, with FR rates dropping below 8), it's frames drop as well, and hinders performance.
