The home environment was just that, an environment. It wasn't really part of the game. Just like the wall behind your PC Monitor isn't part of Unreal Tournament.
Though there are many Text Adventures that feature graphics - if only to set the tone.
Why do you think somebody's work should be free?
I'll pay for a text adventure over most things Activision over charges for these days.
Job interviews go with some of these
Somebody's a little upset he couldn't put all the hentai content in-game.
But if it were the Zork anthology or something, then I'd buy it!
You shouldn't need to no, but developers have near unlimited reasons to keep you connected whilst you do all this off-line stuff.
WTF happened to Kodu? It looked quite cool.
It would be a bit much to make sure all 2million+ levels worked...
A slow-paced (well, in comparing a skateboard to a car) Open world game with no civilians or traffic?
And this is the best they could get it to look on either?!?
I'd be a happy camper if Sony released a slew of downloadable shooters from the arcades, Virtua Cop, Time Crisis, House of the Dead, etc...
But I wonder if the initial loading was elongated by not having a network connection. Seems like it would try to connect a few times, each attempt timing out after 10-20 seconds (standard practise when coding a network client). Could add at least 30seconds to the load.
It annoys the hell out of me when I sit down to play "The Next big thing in HD gaming", and what do I see? Compression Artefacts in the videos.
Like they say - if you have the space, use it! The playstations have been able to stream in high-quality video at the drop of a hat since day one, so even if they can't make the games look equal on both platforms, would it hurt to throw PS3 owners a bone with better fmvs?
I don't think anybody will complain about spending £30-40 for another, improved version. And the previous DLC will be compatible? Well that's just awesome :)
Actually - yeah - so would I!
Bring on Elite 4!
Oh Activision... You know we can't trust anything you say!
Surely I'm not the only one that wants these to make the jump?
It's also a bit silly to paraphrase incorrectly. I didn't say it wasn't being used, or that it was bad - It's use is at an all time low according to the w3c it's as low as 34%, but probably around the 60% mark.
This of course would include all businesses which still use IE, though they aren't that relevant since flash or silverlight isn't the best application layer for business apps.
id Software can. It's been a long time since we've had a game from them, but nobody can doubt the quality of the engines.
But since use of IE is at an all time low, nobody cares what Microsoft think. They've had 3 years to get people to adopt Silverlight, and I don't think I've been to a single website that uses it, except for MS' own sites that is.
I lol'd.
