as above
video games do not just hit photosensitives
it hits audio sensitives and with things like rumble packs can hit touch sensitive triggers as well
add them all together and you see the potential risk is much higher then just the photosensitive subset.
Big difference between ooops - we put in weapons grade Epilepsy causing scenes with audio, touch and light triggers. induced epilepsy does not necessarily relate to lights (just a possible cause)
see mahjong induced epilepsy - using higher brain functions for pattern recognition can trigger it if used for to long and to intensely.
also see:
Drawing induced epilepsy
graphogenic epilepsy
language induced epilepsy
camphor/apple/ induced epilepsy...
Put me in the subset of those who think that a true Fallout Successor should be turn based and more heavily RPG then Combat.
I tried to give it props - it looks fantastic but it's not Fallout 3 its just a shooter set in the fallout universe.
Hmmm I commented on this during the E3 show - basically what the SE president said was that it releases simultaneously on the Xplatform in both EU and NA. (contextual) so clarification is that the PS3 and the Xbox platforms don't launch simultaneous in EU and NA.
It's more of a translation bug then anything.
Split Screen
Reverse Tracks

all worthy editions ^_^
You do know that under the right circumstances _ANYONE_ can be induced into an epileptic fit right?
it's funny but unfortunately there is no way to induce epilepsy without permanently creating a susceptibility to epilepsy
because it is possible to induce in ANYONE under the right circumstances and movies also have to pass hazzard testing for epilepsy
Epilepsy can be triggered in anyone under the right circumstances (ask the psy-op warfare guys at http://www.carlisle.army.mi... )
If the game is engineered wrong you don't get the .01% that would normally be susceptible but possibly create a situation as high as 10% of all players developing epilepsy. (people spontaneously develop epilepsy under the right circumstances - This c...
Exactly...
Most people who play games don't realize how much QA goes into avoiding inducing things like motion sickness, Epilepsy, and other induced physiological phenomenon .
It we released games without all this testing ... it's actually scary to contemplate.
There is actually a defect type for that when writing a bug up for QA, it is called a Hazzard. If a game makes your players sick then you might want to fix that.

Obviously did not read the article before you commented eh?
Bioware was making it plain that the original blog post was inaccurate.
It's obviously not Heavy Rain
1) it's the wrong studio
2) Heavy Rain has been talked about and is known and the author states it is not a known IP
3)It was not discussed at E3 in any of the meetings and Heavy Rain was.
Say they are surprised by PSP sales
it regularly tops DS by a significant sales margin in Japan (last 8 months) and has a continually expanding library with great games and is continually updated with Firmware and technology
FPS Nut... I love that you use a source that has been widely panned as being extremely inaccurate.
Ownage? by whom?
Well I would like to believe my competition has shown everything... I am sure that much is still left to be revealed.
And Lest we Forget - Bungie and Halo + 1 other game by Bungie has to be revealed yet though we do know they are coming.
As I have said before (and is posted in my profile)
we who work in the industry don't dare discriminate even if we wanted to (which we mostly don't)- we can have preferences but while people like Miyamoto, Kojima, Jaffe, etc have lifetime jobs - us jobbers can be working for the competition on any given day depending on how our previous outing in sales went. (no one (no not even Valve, Insomniac, Nintendo and Bungie) can guarantee a hit every time up and when it misses - people end up ...
you would be surprised at how often hiding in a box works - MGO people still get surprised all the time. (I just shoot all the boxes as I pass now)
I have never argued that light triggers alone are the cause - read again. But any activity with the wrong subset of factors can cause induced epilepsy.
