I don't see the problem with Aegis Wing. We've got a post on the exact same page as the expressions of aggravation saying how easy it is to get Japanese content, is US any more difficult to get? I'll grant it's inconvenient and annoying, but not quite territory.
In IGN they said something about being cheap on the graphics to improve the driving engine and keep it at 60fps. The fps gain was worth more to them than the graphics.

My problem with Forza is the inconsistency of the graphics, not the fact I think that they could have made it more whizz-bang. Whatever telemetry data the 360 is having to deal with, the tracks could look a hell of a lot better. If in order to keep frame-rate consistent (which I believe should be the main aim in a racer) then they had to abandon the idea of making the tracks at all interesting, then I think this is misguided - or lopsided, or something. Stylise the tracks, make them four colours, but don't make them dreary. It is not a question of horsepower, just artistry.

Unfortunately M$ is supposedly going to start cracking down on the territory restrictions. Sucks for travelers and importers, who probably comprise less than .01% of the 360's userbase. Aegis should be free to all.
That was definitely a sweet little bit of news. That Solitaire game wasn't going to do it for me, and while I'll play that Halo 3 beta, I have a feeling it won't do much for me.

Ah - well if that's the case then yes, I agree with you - I haven't checked it out yet so I assumed the tracks were not complex, but nice. You're right, there's really no need for them to be 'dreary'.
Although having said that, I always thought the same about the GT games, but it didn't seem to bother anyone else. Lovely cars - shit everything else, IMO.

MS have said that they are now cracking down on stuff like this BUT they've only just put that in the system and NOW they're putting a game out in one area?
My guess is that this is a test of that system. Either to flag all the accounts downloading it and/or to flag all the accounts playing it.
I'm going to wait before using my US account to download it - might just try and use a US proxy.

IGN: The Prince's moves have certainly evolved since the original game. Are any moves from the more recent 3D versions being added to POP XBLA?
Boiteau: Of course, the new POP trilogy has been a major source of inspiration. We wanted our Prince's moves to blend with the level design while staying realistic at the same time. Therefore, we added new spectacular abilities to the Prince's repertoire of original moves, giving players the kind of freedom they expect from a modern POP game, while making sure they blended naturally with the original game animations.

Happy now?
Is it just me, or is the pirate marketing machine faster than any that has come before? To me, it seems more fast+furious than any Star Wars or Shrek crapfests that have come before.
Then again, it's probably just me. I still think Pirates 2 is a "new" movie.
territory.
Hope it plays like the original
