Lots and Lots of Tessellation in this game and the graphics are actually very good, too bad the game play totally sucks.
Capcom is on to something with the PC version, I just hope they make Lost Planet 3 but fix all the dreaded faults of LP2. Very happy with the graphics versus the normal DX9 crap ports from other developers.
GSC's A-Life AI system in Stalker Call of Pripyat IMO is the best Ai I have ever encounter except in MilSims.
Back in the day GTA 3 had great AI with so many on screen NPC's but now it's so predictable but the A-Life system in Stalker is second to none for the fact that they actually do everything that you do.
I've sat in awe as NPC's kill other NPC's, drag the body into the bushes and then take all the weapons, food, ammo and othe...
great list except it lacked the best one after the Death Star.
The Citadel from Half life 2.
You get to see the Citadel from far away a few times during the game and it's a monster that towers over everything as it touches the sky which just so happens to have a huge black portal right above it.
When you get close you realize the dam thing is actually moving as it gets higher and the base of it expands. Once inside you are greeted t...
Minecraft = Game Of The Year
(for those who play games while at work)
Muuh ha ha ha haaa
Just when I try to stop playing Battlefield Bad Company 2, they find a way to reel me back in. Maybe one day I'll play the single player campaign, nah the MP is way too addicting.

If Nvidia cuts the shaders back down to 480 then this will perform exactly like the GTX 480 but it will run cooler and use slightly less electricity which is a good thing.
Many people had a conniption fit about AMD's number change but to me Nvidia should have just named these new cards GTX 485 and GTX 475 as they are just re-freshes of the GF100 series with better capacitors and a new cooling solution.
A GTX 480 is now $380 so what will a GTX 570 be? ...
Sorry I'm not a Halo fan although I do own it for PC and it's already in HD for me. If M$ is looking for free money then just release Halo 3 and Reach for PC. Even better release Gears of War 2 as many PC gamers want that.
even if they spruce up the graphics I don't see 360 fans paying $19.99 for it when they
A. already own it
B. can get a used version for $5
C. then again it's Halo so hell it may sell another 5 million copies on t...
Seeing how Black Ops is on every dam platform it should have sold 10 million in two hours.
I think around 70,000 people were playing it on Steam as that number came up when the midnight install didn't work until 7am.
Great for Activision, now take that money and make a brand new Killer Ip full of innovation that would rival Half Life 2 as the greatest game ever.
Your totally right as Nintendo is talking to AMD about sticking this in the Wii2 also this a front runner for the Xbox 720 cause the Xbox 360 slim has a Cpu and Gpu on the same die plus it would make any console DX11.
one bad note, it's expensive. So a low end DX10 or DX9 version would fit price wise for a Wii2 which just wants to get to HD but for a Xbox 720 which wants to play AAA titles in full HD next time around would be a higher price thus weighing in heavy on th...
.........well at least for right now, kinda.
What the hell are they supposed to say after spending half a billion promoting Kinect plus the dollar amount for R&D plus manufacturing it.
"Xbox 720 in 2012 but until then go buy Kinect, PLEASE".
M$ spent hard earned cash developing the Xbox name and they aren't going to abandon it after two consoles. It's a solid brand name that ate into Nintendo and Sony's lock...
If this is the release date then cool but the first week of December sounds more likely as the game has a "Gold Standard" and has been sent to be copied for retail sale (no date on when it was sent).
The delay was some development issue but the main one was fixing the firmware for 3.50 so it would be "Pirate Proof".
So get your steering wheels and pedals ready GT5 is on it's way before Christmas for sure.
How did this get approved as this story is like 12 months old. The crystal Palace was bought in December of 2009 for $330,000.00 and it orbits Planet Calypso, one of Nine planets in the real money using Enthropia Universe.
Is it me or does Kotick look just like Senator Palpitine (Sith Lord).
There are too many good games coming out on the PC that require a lot of playing time, plus all the dam MMO's.
Good thing winter is coming as I won't have time to do anything else but play Deus Ex: HR gonna re-play Deus Ex before this comes out
Jumpgate Evolution looks OK so far like a more arcade version of EVE Online but without the looting, conspiracies, destruction of ships and resources, plex theft, and overall mayhem that make Eve so fun. oooh look you get to shoot turrets.
The PC MMO market is saturated like FPS on the console and these guys have their work cut out for them as their are some dam good one out there that are just getting noticed like Vindictus.
They showed you Isaac's face at the end of Dead Space and I guess he had some facial work cause this doesn't look like him.
Still getting this though, can't wait
Blizzard and Steam have the best non-intrusive DRM in the business.
It's cool that Blizzard is trying to protect your accounts but only if they could protect it from psycho girlfriends who are attention deficit and needy.
yep Vodka does that too.
I have to say the graphics look good for a 2D side scroller, very nice indeed.
If anyone is about to buy a new video card I hope these benchmarks help in your decision making (HD 6970 comes out in two weeks so wait a bit) as these are some of the most reliable Benchmarks online. All settings set to high, Tessellation On, HBAO on, Post Processing High , SSAO on and they always use 4x AA and 16x AF.
They even do extreme testing with 8xAA 16xAF so you get a real sense of MAXED out performance which is what a $500 card should always be doing and at 1920 x...
Very much true that M$ doesn't want to put Blu-Ray in the Xbox 720 as they would have to pay a Sony tax for every console and every BD disc.
But there is currently NO cheap viable solution except Digital Distribution to a HDD with maybe flash drives being the next best thing as prices drop in that tech.
The only other thing is that maybe M$ saw the Steam Survey and realized that so many gamers have mid range PC's that going back to PC gaming is a more profi...
