Rendering the HUD last is quite a common thing to do.
At the very basic level, when you're drawing stuff on the screen, you want to go from back to front or weird things may start happening (like walls that are behind glass will appear top of it rather than behind it). Since absolutely nothing is in front of the HUD, it makes sense to draw it last.
Furthermore, when you're upscaling the game, as many modern games do (from some weird internal resolution up to 7...
To be honest, I appreciate EDGE's harsh review process. There's too many good games out there that get missed because so many mediocre ones make it through (Enslaved, anyone? That game should have done a lot better). Sure, perhaps 3/10 is "harsh", but the game is VERY buggy, the Steam launch in particular was disgraceful and we really shouldn't stand for that in this day and age. Bugs and glitches ruined Oblivion and Fallout for me.
This game should have...
I was really looking forward to BF3. All the stuff about how the console versions were nothing compared to the PC version solidified my stance to get it on PC and get back into some good ol' PC gaming.
Then I tried the alpha and one thing stood out - Origin. The piece of crap client EA forces you to use. It's horrendous, enough to stop me from buying the game. I hoped it would be on Steam, but the latest spat between EA and Valve seems to have nailed the lid on that coffin pre...
Shoot them in the head with the tranq rifle and it knocks them out almost instantly. Never had a problem with it so far (of course, it's still better to get up close and take them down).
Every PS3 user on the planet is no better off. It's possible to (using similar methods, actually, i.e. soldering) mod a PS3 to run CFW even if it has been updated, by dumping its memory and modifying it (it's essentially a downgrade). The only thing that differs from the PS3 hacks and this is that this will likely not get patched by future dashboard versions, whereas at the moment Sony has managed to keep CFW on 3.55 and below only. However, given enough time, it's likely that the...
Rooting an android phone doesn't enable piracy, you don't need root for that. You can install an app externally without requiring root at all (unless you're on AT&T but that's different, you can't even use legit app stores in that instance).
Fix what, the people who use excuses instead of skill?
"Thats the problem with PC gaming, it looks nice, but thats all. "
Yeah? You know that new Deus Ex game that's making the rounds, that people are absolutely raving about? It's almost identical to the first game (except for how it looks). That's right, the PC was dishing out the best of this generation's gameplay over a decade ago.
It doesn't just "look nice", it's way more than that and if you were a PC gamer, you&#...
The thing that Raendom has clearly missed is that this is a budget PC - the focus here is bang for buck. Sure, you could get a better CPU, but the performance difference versus the price difference would differ.
When it comes to games, there's really only 3 things that make a significant difference - the CPU, the GPU and the amount of RAM. 4Gb is plenty and the limiting factor is usually the GPU, so they've went all out and stuck with a lower range CPU, which is the right deci...
It won't curb anything, all they are doing is enforcing HDCP, to which the master key has been leaked. It's not a huge issue, nobody will notice, but it's still rather pointless.
These games don't need to be compared, they're very different games. Sure, they're both 3rd person cover shooters, but play entirely differently. Gears is set mainly in decaying cities, while uncharted is set mainly in Jungles. Why are they being compared? It's like comparing Mario Kart to Gran Turismo, only fanboys would care which is "better".
As I pointed out above, it's not just Sony employees that have access to these debug firmwares and the firmwares have been leaking since the PS3 launched - relax, it doesn't mean anything (at least not until someone figures out a way to install debug firmware onto a retail PS3).
Many people have access to TEST PS3's, not just Sony employees. For example, reviewers sometimes have debug units to test pre-release code. This leak could have come from any number of sources outside of Sony and is nothing new - debug firmware has been leaked since the PS3 launched and a fat lot of good it did.
Istanbull doesn't know what he's talking about.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that businesses don't actually pay VAT, they claim it back?
Because this is (according to LulzSec) retribution for Sony suing the PS3 hackers and basically not learning to tighten their security after the PSN breach.
They used maths to calculate a number. Nobody "owns" numbers and nobody copyrighted maths.
We have a problem with piracy anyway. OtherOS' removal stopped nothing.
It's not their right to take away a feature that people paid for. Even if only 1 person used it in the whole world, that's what he paid for when he bought the PS3.
You wouldn't be saying that if Sony removed Blu-ray playback.
Account bans != System bans. He won't need a new system, just a new account. He even states this in the article.
IF everything he says is true, then they got all the content for free from MS and the only thing they "lost" was 2 years of live subscription.
