Sigh. I wish this was actually reported properly rather than media outlets spreading bullshit. There's some excuse for general news outlets, but there is no excuse at all for gaming websites, especially a site like internode which supplies hundreds of gaming servers.
The AFP can't stop the game coming into the country, and once it's in your hands, they can't do a thing about it, as it is not illegal to own a game that has been RC'd.
@ humbleopinion -
You obviously didn't catch the AvP PC demo recently. Was marketed as a demo by the devs and publishers - when in actual fact it was 6 month old beta code.
As I said, it isn't just ignorant gamers who have put us into this state of affairs....
Yeah I don't think ignorant gamers are totally to blame with this one.....
What's wrong with having ambition and trying to be the best at something? It looks like they've probably fallen short - but to roast them for trying is ridiculous.
No, it goes to show that practice makes perfect. If all you're devving for is one platform, you're either going to get good or not get anywhere.
All this shows is that the PS3 is still hard to develop for if you haven't done it before, and I don't know why anybody would be happy about that.
Fyi - Crysis 2 on the PC is running way smoother on older PC's than the original. As I said, practice makes perfect.
There is an excuse because they're first time PS3 devs and PC is still their major platform, and it's not like rival devs will be helping them out that much.
Like you though, i'm not exactly surprised.
It totally depends on the story, and how long a proper telling of the story takes. MP shouldn't come into consideration with this at all. The length of a game should be determined by the story, not the existence (or lack) of MP.
Portal, for instance, was the exact right length. Yes, it was short, but it was as long as was needed without artificially padding it out.
The problem is though that while the main culprit is gone - there are at least two people on the panel who's motives are questionable, and their voting in favour of the change is highly doubtful at this point.
I think the majority of Australians do realise why we need it - when they're given the correct information. The problem is that too many people aren't given the correct information, and we have too many news sources promoting bullshit excuses and the same ol...
I really do believe that GoTY will be a multiplat this year - and LA Noire has to be one of the favourites from what we've seen so far. Is looking brilliant.
To hell with shaving, i'm a man.
I was expecting it to be delayed until early next year, so this is a pleasant surprise for me.
@ above - While I wouldn't at all suggest you don't play through the KoToR games again, the Holocron records on the TOR site are really worth a watch.
@ Raendom - sign ups for the open beta have been open for ages now, is just a matter of when it kicks off.
Awesome.
Considering it will be the last before ME3, and a major story tie-in, I think we can assume the length will on par with LoTSB at the very least.
I'd much rather they be making something new than remaking something old....
I meant the quality of your other hardware, not if in fact you actually have other hardware to begin with. I thought that was pretty clear.
And that's the problem - people who aren't overly techy will read an article like that and think they can run 3D at good frames with a simple GPU upgrade, when it really isn't that simple at all.
Agreed.
I'm all for articles that promote PC gaming - but not ones that are as full of shit as this one.
Sigh. It hasn't been banned. It's been refused classification. If certain websites are deciding not to sell it down here, that's their decision, not one that is enforced by any law, and in any case it's not exactly hard to bypass that.
As to what Sony/Microsoft do - I think that, especially at this point in time, they would turn a blind eye to this even if it did effect them in any way. They'd be opening themselves up to a massive public backlash if they s...
I seriously doubt that the person who wrote the article is a PC gamer. He infers that a brand new graphics card will enable you to play games in 3D at high frame rates, neglecting to mention that the rest of your hardware comes into play as well, and that you need a 3D capable monitor.
Seems like a blatant fanboy written "paid for by nvidia" article to me.
"Rocksmith is the only video game that gets players stage ready"
Lol. I'm all for a more intuitive approach to teaching music for those who don't want to learn through traditional methods, but quotes like the above rob the game of any credibility it could have before it's even shipped.
Looking at the videos on their website - it looks like the learning/playing interface is a cross between typical Rockband note scrolling and tab. I person...
Unless you're a PC gamer of course :P
Is great news though.
