Look at the page source for the site. The full description of the article (on epics site) is as follows.
The charges are set. Be ready for whats to come and watch as live detonations are used to create the Gears of War Omen. Witness it all go down.

Unfortunately when you buy your used copy of deus ex the dev won't see any of your money and the only company you'll be supporting is gamestop. Hope it was worth the 5$ discount.
"Wait... So they reward people who buy new with extra content and give those who buy used the option to unlock it, and you think the better option is to not give the used game buyer the option to buy it at all? "
Who said anything about not allowing people who buy the game used, to buy dlc or extra content? No company would ever deny people this. It doesn't make any sense at all.Point is, you buy used games to save a little cash here and there. The difference be...
Exclusives aren't the ONLY thing that sells consoles. Good games do. If all your friends are playing those good games on a specific console, you are more likely to go for that console as well. That is all.
Isn't it punishment on the devs when you buy it used because they see no money from the sale but still have to pay money to support it?
Maybe the single player content that is locked utilizes some online servers for it's content? Like race times or highscores. None of this really bothers me because one day I had to ask myself who I hated more. Greedy publishers or gamestop. I chose gamestop. I will gladly support devs over them any day. If the game is too expensive, I'll ...
I got bumped up a few as well. Not sure why but I'm not complaining.
Mobile gaming is way more popular in Japan than console gaming. The biggest selling game in Japan is Monster Hunter portable. I'm sure the promise of another one on Vita is what has everyone excited.
You say beta test but the state that COD is in is actually way more polished than other Betas out there. You are paying 60$ for a game that was rushed out the door. A beta would imply they are still working on it to finish it. I never see the COD issues fixed.
The ideal situation is to use middleware tools developed by a company that primarily concentrates on making those tools. They handle all the special effects you see in games and frees up the developers to only worry about art assets (which is what takes most of the time now) and design.
If the developers continue to advance the tools they are using (which they are doing in major ways) to ease development, the cycles should stay where they are. 2-3 years.
They spent too long developing the tech. A lot more money too than if they were just making the game. The idea behind making a great engine like that is to see if you can license it out as middleware to other developers to make their games with. Now because they timed it wrong, they may take a big hit no matter how popular the game is. Next gen is right around the corner and they will need to make a lot of updates to the engine to get it up to par.
Soooo....the game is 3 disks. The way the installs work on 360, like they always do, is you have the option of installing to boost performance. You DO NOT have ot install all the disks at once or even at all. You can just install disk 2, or just install disk 1 and 3.
It's just copying everything off the disk onto the hdd.
Point is, assuming the game does not make you swap disks every-time you want to go to a certain area (that would be dumb and there aren't a...
You're idea of cut content is this
exp: content that was always supposed to be in the final game but was taken out due to space restrictions.
What the devs description of the cut content
exp: content that ended up never fleshing out due to it not working well with the flow of the game. Majority of the time this content was either only partially implemented/finished.
Some of the content was only ever imagined, maybe with concept a...
I thought they were locked to an online profile, not console. The idea is that your profile/id is locked to the pass, like dlc or and arcade/psn game.
Also, used game retailers have already lowered the price of games that use these passes to compensate for what the gamer would need to pay to play online.
This method is probably the best most unobtrusive way of getting a cut of used game sales which developers and publishers see nothing from but still have to...
One could argue that the price should of been lower from the beginning. The market has been bad for years now. Nintendo decided on the price of the devise a good while before they released it. So yes, it could be said, "they waited to long to react to the market."
The difference between the n4g and GC generations is a matter of money. The success Nintendo had between the SNES to N64 to GC was far more gradual than DS > 3DS. The DS was a run away success. The 3DS has been extremely slow compared. Nintendo is publicly traded company. They answer to their stock holders. They stock just dropped 40%. This is a vast drop compared to previous slower gens and far more of a shock to the system.
I would compare it to this. Imagine being CEO o...
The end is kind of like that. I got the game yesterday and beat it yesterday. I enjoyed it.
I'm not saying we'll be streaming games. The networks that are already in place are more than good enough for what is needed to provide digital downloads. If you have internet that is fast enough to play on line, you have fast enough internet to download a game. I mean, there isn't a standard that says you have to download a game in a certain speed or it wont work.
Also, like I pointed out, we are talking 9-10 years in the future. How fast was your internet -10 years ago?...
While what you are saying is an issue now, have the option for dd for every game released on top of physical copies hurts no one. Also, you talk about the issues with DD today. I said the gen after this gen. Assuming new consoles aren't out until 2013, this means that the DD only consoles wouldn't be out till close to 2020. Can you really say that today's limitations would still be an issue in years?
I we all chose not to progress with the planning of tech because of limi...
next gen will be a hybrid of physical and digital content. Every game you can buy physically in the store, you'll be able to buy through digital distribution. Gen after next will be all digital. Really, if you buy mp3's for your mp3 player instead of cd's you'll buy dd games. No difference.

When a company decides on a budget for a game, a decline in people playing the game online is always a part of these estimates. When you throw in the factor that more people will be playing your game for longer with no extra income, this becomes costly to support.
5$ of that $60 purchase only covers a estimated few months amount of server time. If you then come in and buy my copy used and continue playing it for another few months on top of that, you just...
