Nice to see my employer listed ^_^
Simulation Sickness is something I experience quite drastically(COD4, Battlefield 2 etc all make me really quite sick)so I am glad to see that they are taking that into account.
That said... I will try it before I buy it as I have heard other developers say they have fixed it and yet it still affects me.
(wierdest was the change in motion they did in SWG - one day I was fine... then they changed how your avatar moved ... and then I was not)
wow... some of those screen shots are pretty amazing (got to love clipping and collision errors ^_^)
the last shot with Bowser. -caption- "Prepare for reentry!"
(you can read it cleanly or in a dirty fashion :-) )
Poorly designed Achievements can definitely ruin online play. Badly designed achievements that encourage antisocial play have at times been added to games. These of course are not a great idea. You want to avoid complaints like this in games: "It seemed like in nearly every match, half of your team was playing to get specific achievements and could care less whether the team actually won or not. This same type of thing happens in numerous games with online achievements."

The enhanced edition sounds great. I love the fact that even 6 months after launch these guys are getting ready to release an update that will fundementally change the game for the better (from it's amazing state right now) and then doing this update free for those who already own the game.

you mean this part?
"As soon as Haze is done I’ll be throwing myself into a tricky duo of projects: ‘Having a life’ and ‘Remembering what my family look like’. Release platforms TBD but you can be assured they won’t have the word ‘exclusive’ anywhere near them."
This has nothing to do with games and everything to do with the fact that they need a break.
Only thing I have to say is:
we are only hearing the side of the story from the "consumer" who is alleging things without proof.
am hoping that they release the game and expansion pack as a deal here.
still no info about a possible release date.
Glad they are taking the game in a different direction then GTA
Should be fun ^_^
I love my GT and they have my favorite car (just like mine that burned T_T)
RX-7 Spirit R Type A
so yes - first day buy for me as well
Blu-ray Edition
If Insomniac is feeling pushed by GG and vice versa then I think we are looking at two games that should blow peoples socks off.
I know internally 1st and 2nd party Sony studios share an amazing amount of tech and technical know how. It's pretty synergistic and the results of this tech sharing is being reflected.
I figure Diablo would be a huge Coup for XBL if they could swing it past Blizzard - probably the most likely of the lot to hit XBL.
I would bet that games like Daggerfall and such won't be ported...
the others have as great of chance of hitting PSN and / or the Wii
Going to try it (rent).... but if it really is as uninspired as they make it sound - they squandered a prefect opportunity to make WW shooters fun again.
A 2 year development cycle with a decent programming team as well as cross team fertilization of ideas = Insomniac being a leading developer for a long time to come.
as for R&C - not really a surprise that it has a long sales tail. Like they said : older owners = slower adoption of a the game but adoption would come.
story was confirmed by a mod - not a newb
ouch is all I can say. Approvals

Exactly - no piece of software that is complex will be free of error/bugs. It's common sense and common knowledge (or at least common knowledge to developers).
Hmmm well the PS3 doing PS2 has 1 significant advantage over the PS2:
Upscale.
Reason I use my PS3 rather than a PS2 to play PS2 games.
Ooooh sounds fun

If your PS3 is setup with parental controls the subaccounts can not enter a private space with out the primary account giving access to that space. That means if a child enters somewhere like that - it is the parent that is remiss and not the Interface.
It's the same reason PSN does not allow you to upload your own avatar but must use their preapproved incarnations. Sony is being extra careful because it is an all ages environment.
AKA - Parents have ...
