The picture is interlaced which basically means that only half of the picture is drawn at a time. Therefore for 50hz TVs the frame rate is 50/2 = 25fps.
The console could be quite possibly be capable of a much higher fps but what comes out of the TV will be 25fps.

thanks, but i dont think a keyboard + mouse are going to be particularly useful on a couch. Keep it all on the pad. You'll get used to it. it keeps a level playing field too
If they ever start letting Console people play in the same arenas as PC people, the console people will get so destroyed it will not even be funny. I bet that a person using a joypad would not even kill me once in UT2003. It would be a whitewash. |

fps's in a pad??
You're all a clueless bunch you know? I suggest you all go find some nice demos (Garpy one's in AGHL will do just fine) and look at the action you're missing. Shit, go look at some Quake/UT tournaments. Now go tell those kids to play with a pad ;) Oh, one more thing: brutal wrote: "and if you dont, go back to your PC" No shit Sherlock... |

Now go tell those kids to play with a pad ;) On a PC, mouse+kbd all the way. God, could you imagine playing on keys /shudder/ But for a console, offline (as UC still is) against bots, use the pad. Now if MS had put a standard USB port on the thing, like the PS2, it'd not be an issue.

As far as I understand UC will work with Xbox Live "beta", "test drive" and retail versions.
Adverts and shots of game case say Xbox Live Enabled. However, I've never understood very far. |

I wonder what people would say to playing Metroid Prime on a console.
I'd say "Bleagh!", really, but since I haveno choice in the matter, I guess I'll have to. If there was a PC version (or a mouse+keys for the GC), I'd go for that 18 times out of 10. I'm sorry, but playing an FPS on a joypad smells too much like regressing to playing on keyboard only to me... Doomish. |

Good score. You've changed drastically since your first couple of Xbox-related posts, Krudster. Have you been paid off?
And duc, xboxrox was talking about eurogamer, not IGN. |

Ah the old kb+mouse v's controller horseshit once more. Everyone to their own - try both and see what you think. Personally I think a controller is much better than a kb+mouse (the main reason I bought a dual strike for my PC), it also means I don't have to leave my couch and be hunched over a keyboard for hours on end (I do that enough during the day). Incidentally this game was designed for the xbox controller not kb+mouse. quick question, is this actually much different from tornument 2003? what kind of changes are there? same maps? is it worth me buying both? This is not the same game as UT2003 it was done by a completely different team. AFAIK it doesn't have the same maps etc. |

Keyboard and mouse are when you have a nice desk to use them on but absolutely f**king useless on a sofa -I tried with Quake and Unreal on the DC.
Imagine mouse+kbd+voice comms leads all across the floor to the console! An accident waiting to happen! Returning to UC then, until Live this is nothing more than offline play with bots. I'd rather save the money for Splinter Cell. Are EG going to run a re-review of UC when Live is out?? |

I didn't actually like bombing run when I played with bots, I found it mind numbingly boring and awkward, no matter how many times I ruled the opposition my useless team mates just stagnated the entire thing leaving me about 1 hr on a single map going back and forth... *spit*
X-Box *spit* :p Controllers *spit* :p You all suck, muppets the lot of you!!! OWNAGE! *sigh* |

"Would be a cool idea to re-evaluate."
I have often thought that re-evaluation should be done after a big patching spree, obviously this is related to PC more than console. It would be nice for a game that is given terrible scores due to bugs that when it is patched to a correct state that the score is readdressed. |
