#4 is the only one that doesn't look like R2D2 shat out a 3rd party accessory.
Yep. Most other industries which deal directly with consumers have watchdogs.
nice! I got myself a 6850 cheap to last me until something sick comes out later this year for a proper purchase (my PC componant purchase for the "next gen"). I wonder how the 680 will compare to the 7970
System Shock 2 should be on that list. But who's place would it take?
Yeah it's a good list. But TS needs a mention. (I'd sort of place it in the same series as PD and Goldeneye)
TBH I would have to make it a top 20 list, if I was making one myself, to be able to give worthy mentions to enough great FPSs.

But tbh, the number of polygons on-screen after tesselation can be more than the number of pixels in a given area so it makes sense.
lol plastica raytraced realtime graphics are not going to be possible for a long time yet, probably never on silicon. Also, you can't just raytrace one character.
voxels are the next big step which require a whole load of RAM (16GB+) that probably won't be in next gen consoles.
But current (as in, high end PCs) hardware can render a staggering amoumnt of detail through traditional raster graphics with heavy tessellation thrown into the mix (which hasn...
Love san andreas, one of the best games ever.
I got it for er... like 40p on steam, winner deal.
Going to get the demo now to see...
It had better not have broken mouse controls or it's another game down the gutter for stupid reasons.
double post somehow (buggy n4g javascript?)
Yeah.
It's good that they are adding extra content rather than stripping out content like usually happens with games these days.
This has got me interested in BS:I, I didn't really care before but now I will buy it, so it has done some good afterall and there are a lot of other likeminded people who would react the same way as me.
People hack every piece of hardware out of curiosity. It's stupid articles on N4G, media sources and Anon hype train that claim there is malicious intent behind it - the actual hackers themselves are just hardware/tech enthusiasts and programmers and are 100% obeying the law. (if companies want to retail a piece of hardware they have no right to care what happens to it in the hands of the consumer).
edit: yes there is often malicious intent. But it is no more against Sony...
Sony are well aware of the piracy problem. But handhelds tend to make more hardware profits in their lifetime than other platforms. It's bad for the developers, not Sony.
That is how the handheld market worked last gen anyway.
Yeah because Notch was too lazy to pull through on his promise to actually finish the game :P
Mods are great in any game, but Minecraft makes them so easy to make thanks to its use of Java and simple (but vastly inefficient) programming.
If Notch/Mojang would actually have properly made the full release rather than just updating the badly programmed beta the game would be 10x as good as it is now, without mods - and even better with mods of course.

Theres no way they can DDoS Youtube and Facebook, those sites are already practically DDoSsed just because they are so populer. The best Anon could do is increase load by a couple of % which will be well within their performance overheads.
Everything else could be DDoSsed with ease, only need a few hundred thousand bot clients each.
As for actual hacking, I would imagine Twitter, Facebook and Youtube being leagues ahead in security over the other, older, firm...
"In terms of games for next year, MS is delivering more than they are this year. On top of my head we got Halo 4, Ryse, Fable: The Journey, a host of other XBLA games... "
^ fail
Halo 4 is the only game that might, possibly, be good. I certainly won't buy it on launch incase it sucks though which is what usually happens to an IP when the developer changes or splits (Farcry, FF, CoD, Crash, PD, *cough*DMC*cough* etc.)
MS have pur...
TBH both are rubbish compared to previous generations.
Nelo is 100% correct tbh.
"We do think that it's fundamental that core gamers look at 360 as the place they want to play games."
I stopped reading.
With the emergence of next-gen graphics chips producing 200W of heat, everything will be the same size again (they need big fans and good airflow).
