So if it's in the present and from a day or yore, it's retro but if it's in the future it's futuran. So "The Jetsons" setting aren't retro but retro-futuran. I would've just retro but it makes more sense saying it that way cause it specifies.

hm, ok.

So Bioshock wasn't retro at all. The settings' designs' were current and set things, or the latest fashion, music, advertisement, etc.. because you're placed in the actual 40's or 50's timline. So saying Bioshock was retro is wrong, right?

I wonder what's the present term one uses to describe an earlier era that had a futuristic kinda look. Not like "The Jetsons" in fact probably the opposite, cause that takes place in the future but it looks like a 60's setting.

I've always found that type of style fascinating in games and movies, when they incorporate the concept of melding different (past or futuristic) pop eras into their current eras.

bioshock is a tough one to classify i'm not sure

but retro-futuran is when its futuristic but its clearly elements and style of the past, its also used to describe the pasts view of the future

Oct. 20th is still the release date right?

That's never been the release date I think.
For USasians it's October 28th, for us in Europe it's October 30th/31st.

Damn, this is an expensive month. Easily the best game month of this year so far.

Hmm, October? Right now I just remember Fallout, Fable and Dead Space, what else come this month? Left 4 Dead and Gears are November/December aren't they?

Farcry 2, Red Alert 3, Saints Row 2, Spiderman WoS as well.

Its going to suck, Fable 2 comes out, a week later Fallout 3 comes out, 2 weeks later CoD 5 comes out.....weep

Ouch, totaly forgot RA 3 and didn't know FC 2 was October, Spidey and Saints I can live without

Same, just picked the 'better' games coming out. No idea whats coming on PS3, most of the games are multiplatform.

And then, to interrupt my gaming, Max Payne and Saw 5 come out, new Clone Wars episode every friday and Halloween. 😐

This month is so awesome touched

For me its Fallout, Fable, Saints Row, and Midnight Club.

Saint Row...

I loved pt1. It was the greatest gta clone even made. It's over the top zany and almost cartoony gameplay was greally good. I think the maps were bigger than gta's but i may skip out on this one. I only got it to temporarily quench my gta4 apitite. Although the ending did leave me wanting more.

But i got gta4, which is 10's better.

What's so different about SR2 now anyway, beside the story compared, to SRpt.1. Any added stuff or new features? dlc? More weapons, cars? What?

Bunch of new info in this weeks GTTV: http://www.gametrailers.com/gametrailerstv_player.php?ep=40

I was watching Gametrailers last night and I just found out that you can drop nukes on cities and it looked friggin awesome. Mercenaries 2 eat your heart out.

You can't drop nukes on cities, look at these links:

Part I
Part II
Part III
Part IV
Part V

But you can blow up a nuke in a city.
