I used to look at cool PS3 exclusives and think "wow, I wish I could play that on my 360". So what I did, right, was save up a wee bit of cash and bought a fucking PS3.
It's not that difficult.
"Exciting, or just another RPG game?"
I wasn't aware the two were mutually exclusive.
What a ridiculous article.
I'll play my games on whatever hardware takes my fancy, thanks.
I think you're right, Brink's line was huge IIRC. Interestingly though, Fallout: NV's was pretty bare
Can't wait. I'll be there and making a bee line for the Skyrim booth as soon as I'm off the train.
I'm getting tired of people prophesising the death of the home console at the hands of mobile platforms. These things can co-exist quite happily, and even speaking strictly in gaming terms they all cater for different needs. Did radio disappear when TV became ubiquitous?
Well, we made the shortlist, and we never expected to in a million years. I must say that the flack we've taken for it on Twitter has killed that buzz a little. Seems that we're being criticised, essentially, for not a being a professional outlet, meanwhile the awards themselves are taking knocks for being an "old boys club". Surely those things are mutually exclusive. These are open nominations, everyone on that list has every right to be there.
Anyway, I...
The job market is pretty screwed here too. It's a global recession, everyone's feeling it.
After talking to a developer on twitter it seems that the "100% realtime" claim is to do with the development process. Apparently you can make changes to world lighting, physics, scripting etc and see the changes in real time instantly by hitting CTRL-G.
Now I know. I wish Crytek would have qualified that before I had an aneurysm.
Crytek annoy the hell out of me. They seem convinced that the only thing that matters about a game is how impressive the engine technology is. Meanwhile, they spend all their time making (gorgeous looking) shitty games.
I can appreciate technical feats of polygon pushing but when I'm playing a game I don't give a toss what's going on under the hood.
Also, what the hell do they mean when they claim to have the "only 100% realtime engine&q...
"The PC version will run at true 1080p HD visuals"
Not on my bloody PC it won't. Why do people keep trotting out this line as if it's a universal constant? No two PCs are the same and not everyone is going to be running BF3 at full pelt.
Completely agree with this article. Ditching handhelds for smartphone gaming is like playing darts instead of hang gliding.
Very much looking forward to the Vita. Hopefully Sony have learned from their mistakes with the PSP, it certainly seems that way with the amount of third party interest.
With the sumptuous looking Uncharted: Golden Abyss this is the first time I've ever been tempted to buy a console at launch because of *one* game.
From the way this person describes The Dark Brotherhood questline as devolving "into a minor variation of the loathsome fetch quest", I can only assume he didn't play it very much.
I'm saddened that Blur did so badly, thought it was fantastic. Still play it online from time to time, there are about 80 people still kicking about on the XBL servers and it's as fun as ever.
I'm not entirely sure they/we will benefit much from this tech being used in GTA. In LA Noire there's a clear gameplay benefit in the interrogations, but for something like GTA I'd imagine it'd be more hassle than it's worth to use MotionScan over traditional mocap/animation, where they can randomly generate distinctive pedestrians from a set number of building blocks.
Having to cast a real human for every extra/ped in the game doesn't seem viable to...
You can do that on 360 too, as long as you sign in to XBL with your gamertag on your friend's console (although it's a different and more restricted procedure)
Not quite true, you can play an XBL game on any 360 as long as you're signed in to Live with the gamertag it was purchased with.
This twitter account is pure tedium. "Pensioner plays videogame" is about as interesting as "teenager reads book". Presumptuous nonsense.
