343 Industries might be bundling the original XBOX controller with Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary Edition

Duke Nukem returned this week, and is basically obsolete. Now, in honor of the upcoming Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary remake, 343 Industries is considering resurrecting another long-dead Duke: the hulking, maligned original Xbox controller.

Producer Alison Stroll told Giant Bomb that the studio is talking with expert modders (your Ben Heck types) about producing some working Xbox 360 controllers in original "Duke" controller shells. They won't be mass-produced or anything -- if you want to get your hands almost all the way around one, the controllers are planned to be hooked up to demo units at the Halo Fest being held in Seattle alongside PAX, and then sold at the annual Child's Play auction.

I would not use the original xbox controller its too chunky, the controller s was much better nice and slim like it went on a diet. I like the feel of the 360 controller now if they could just sort out the shitty analogues that go off centre after a year or so.

Still its cool they are doing something like that.

Forza 4 now comes in Limited Collector's Edition flavor, or at least it will when the game launches this October. The LCE boasts a 96-page photo book, no less than 4 bonus car packs, vinyl stickers, an exclusive BMW Dashboard theme, and "special recognition in the Forza community."

As far as the cars go, the "VIP Pack" grants 5 of the world's fastest and least pronounceable cars, including the Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera and the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. Your garage will also come stocked with 10 of history's "best classic American muscle cars," although those vehicles have yet to be specifically named. You'll also land the previously announced "Ship Bonus" pack, as well as an unknown number of customized BMW whips that will also be available as day-one DLC.

Cars of Forza Motorsport 4 Presented by Top Gear is a 96-page gallery of auto-erotica, highlighting the game's many vehicles via images from Top Gear's "extensive" collection and color commentary from the publication's editors. This mirror's the game's Autovista mode, where Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson says (presumably) hilarious and British things about cars. No pricing information has been given, but we assume it'll probably still be cheaper than buying an actual Koenigsegg.

Ace Combat: Assault Horizon gameplay from tutorial?

If that's what AC:AH is like, I will not be buying it until it can be had for less than $10. They have turned it into "just another action game." That is not what Ace Combat is supposed to be at all.

 

[scoutingwraith]

The new Ace Combat reminds of AfterBurner for some reason. >_>
Its sad to see some of the games changing to more simpler design or action oriented because people are not interested to learn how it works..... >_>

My mate got a faulty 360, the problem is there is sound but no video. Tried the reset button combo and tried my cables and his. Im right in thinking this is a gpu error? Last resort for that would be xclamp mod and heat gun. No biggie as its already broken but if there is another thing we can try id like to know before we break out the heat gun.

A different cable?

As you can see i already tried that. My cables work perfect and its not the TV either as we tried various tvs. I imagine the guy who had it before checked all that too.

Sorry I wasn't clear, I meant more along the lines of a different type, not a different of the same cable. So if you were using HDMI, try a Component (or vice-versa).

Neat, another game on my preorder list! And a hundred bucks for the limited edition hmm sold! Fall 2011 is getting more and more interesting.

 

[Eva01Master]

MRCL +1 to that, I want that edition of Forza 4 and also the Fanatec steering wheel which will be released for that game.

Its cool, well im sure its a premium without hdmi. Yeah i dont remember seeing a hdmi port. Either way i think the gpu isnt seated correctly or is just broke. The sound would still work even if the gpu wasn't displaying video.

He got it for free so if its still broke by the end its okay.

I'm interested to see how the Kinect support works for this. If its mindboggingly good, I may shell out some cash and get Kinect. I mean I already bought a 360 solely for Forza, so...

The wheel looks awesome, looking forward to Forza 4! I may be able to test the kinect stuff at my brothers who got a kinect bundled with his 360S model (his old one died last Christmas).

Also eager to try the Halo remake and im waiting for The Metal Gear Solid Collection as that includes the best MGS game (personally speaking) Peace Walker (psp). At least i will be able to play peace walker with decent controls.

Forza 4 is worth getting for the Top Gear Test Track alone.
As for the racing wheel I bet it will cost a fortune. And if I ever get a (decent) wheel setup, it has to have a clutch pedal and a realistic stick, not those up and down motion ones. Eh I guess I'd have to build my own racing seat. Until that, controller for me. I actually suck at driving with a wheel in video games. Which is kind of strange since in real life I'm a godlike driver.

Not entirely what I expected, but interesting nonetheless. I was never a good cockpit view driver, maybe this'll change it.

Well, that's poop.
