1. Any idea of launch date/price etc?
2. How will the whole backwards compatibility work?
3. Will it purely be for games or play DVD's etc?
4. Any form of online play planned?
Cheers :-)
PC FPS designers will love the oppertunity to develop FPS games on a control system that surpasses the keyboard/mouse system. Similar specifications or not.
Half Life 2 is already due for next gen systems.
Namco, Capcom and SquareSoft used to be in bed with Sony. Now they are major supporters of Nintendo.
The fact is the Revolution could see new versions of Doom 3, Half Life 2, Quake 4 etc... using the new control system. Much like Doom and Quake appeared on the N64.

Well I was including both halo and halo 2 when I said 'halo'. And from what I read, Quake 4 isn't supposed to be overly great...

Well considering how ID staff have heavily sided with the 360, with 3D realms being rather happy with it too: quite probably.

Some staff/ex-staff of which are developing RPGs for the 360, Rockstar has been persuaded to publish on MS's machine along with others.

2 of which are current generation games. Hardly fitting for a next-gen console to get cast-offs.
Co-op's rather good too.
Infact I'd have to say the whole thing's great fun.
Any FPS is fun in multiplayer with your mates really, it's a hard thing to screw up. We still enjoy a good old blast on Quake III Arena. The lack of bots in both Halo's made me cry :(
I agree that co-op is good though. Co-op games are so few it's always great when a developer adds that feature in.
