I'll be getting this for sure. I can't wait to play the train map :D And also I'm a bit of a trophy whore, so I want more trophies :P
Ya I was thinking the same thing. These numbers are probably being taken from a server that is within walking distance. In the real world, you have to deal with potentially millions of people using the service(divided over many servers mind you), and the servers might now be half way across the continent.
For a wii game, it has a pretty high polygon count by the looks of it. But the amount of aliasing is discusting :S
Tux FTW!
Ubuntu 9.04 has got to be the most amazing OS I have ever used :), and the installation is very easy, and you can even access your windows partition files and read/write to them (OMFG).

I agree with just about everything the author described, especially with the customization part. I like to think of Linux as a middle ground between the Mac OS, and Windows. It pretty much brings the best of both worlds to generate the ultimate OS.
Ya everything Square Enix has made so far for Microsoft has failed as far as I can remember(please correct me if I am wrong).
And yet the few things that SE have made for Sony alone have done better than pretty much everything that they have done for MS. I think Yoichi Wada needs to stop going on acid trips and start making games where the money is...
Well I am a nerd, so I'm not arguing against the nerd thing...
But I think you need to give Linux a little more credit. Its practically just as good as Windows(much better in some areas, much worse in others), and it is FREE, not only that, but 99% of the software for it is also free. Linux 5 years ago might have been only for nerds/geeks, but now with more user friendly distros like Ubuntu, Linux is now much more appealing to the average user than ever.
I already posted about this <_<

I downloaded it today, and man it performs well. There isn't a whole lot in terms of new features(as far as I can tell so far), but the performance is what I find the best about it. After I turn on my computer, I have Firefox up and running within about 20 seconds!
I would install Linux on my PS3 if it did not have a hypervisor system. At the moment, there is practically no graphics capabilities, and limited Cell performance. And since a full OS like Linux requires much more Ram than the XMB, you really can't run more than a few programs until you start getting low on RAM.
That is impossible because sleep mode technically has to draw enough power to keep stuff in memory. As soon as there is no power, then everything that was in memory is now lost.
So what they are doing is researching ways to get the memory to stay put, even with 0 power consumption. So its not as simple as making a sleep mode that draws 0 power. First they need to create a new technology for main memory.
I remember reading up on this a while back. I'm glad to see that they are making some progress, and more people are researching different ways to do this. Boot up times will be about as fast as when you turn on your computer from a sleep state(just a few seconds basically).
I think the developer is crytek, and the engine that is being discussed is the cry engine 3. Just based on some of the replies the developer gave, it sort of sounds like the cry engine 3, since it was just shown off at GDC not too long ago.
Thats just because the TV is interpolating what the frames should look like. Most tv shows are at 30p/60i, some being at 24p, so on a 120hz screen, a 24p movie for example will have 4 extra frames interpolated between the frames which are actually part of the movie. Since interpolation algorithms are not perfect, complicated motions can be difficult to make the image look good, which is why the image might look strange. Me personally I dislike the 120hz image, and I always have interpolati...
I have Hyperspace and Physics of the Impossible w00t.
Also it should be noted that it was suspected that Moore's law would no longer hold true before multi-core processors. Now that we have dual/quad... core processors, it has lenghtened the life of Moore's law. However there will be a limit to how far silicon can go, it will reach it's limit and new materials will have to be used, or a complete overhaul will have to be made with digital circuits. Quantum computers are showing...

I think this was later on in the press conference.
I'll probably be getting this when it comes out. I have never played any MMO before, but since it is Stargate related, I'll probably enjoy it :)
"techincally, the 4d concept is correct.
Three axis of movement, and one axis of time. 4-dimensions.
Pong, if you must, was 3d (2 axis of movement and one of time).
"
Thats a little innacurate. the fourth dimension is in fact time, but just because time is always moving, doesn't make the game 4d. For it to be 4d, things in the game would have to change/evolve over time. Like, if you were to leave your game running for several days, st...
"If Square ever does release The Last Remnant for the PS3, they should just release it in Japan. "
I agree. I think the game would perform poorly in North America/EU, and the only place it would sell decent in would be Japan.
I'm pretty sure you have to use the engineer's secondairy ability , repair. But you need to get the sentry turret medal first(forget it's official name).
I played the demo, but I wasn't too impressed.
First off the graphics look about as good as MG:PO, maybe just a little better, so a little outdated(the bullseye projectiles, for example, appeared to be just 2D images). Also the gameplay was dumbed down due to the lack of the second analog stick. I realize that there really isn't much other alternative, but it's still not a very good system IMO, shooters really just do not belong on a PSP. MG:PO worked pretty well though since ...
Best article ever!!!
