mfwahwah his evolving argument stands because the hardware that is present this year is the same hardware that was present since '05. What he is mentioning in evolved hardware is the jump from 90nm processors to 45nm processors, ala "valhalla". That is half the original dye size, smaller dye = less power consumption and more efficient processing. Combined gpu/cpu is also a hardware evolution that will as well reduce power consumption. Less power consumption will yield cooler operati...
It's not that I don't believe this website, but I find myself unable to at the moment. They profess that it is "confirmed", however, unless I missed it, I see no direct quote, link, or reference to any official confirmation. There isn't even a mention of who specifically confirmed it's existence aside from "execs", which is pretty nondescript.
It would be really cool, but I'll wait until there is some actual substantial weight to this claim before I believe it...
Why are all these boring reinterpretation levels getting this much attention? You can do a lot with this game, but it seems this and that retarded RROD level are the only things getting any looks. Both are uninspiring and not very creative. You copied a level from mario, wow how creative. Lets see some of the cooler variants and setups that this game is capable of instead of this.
All of you talk as if this is personal. Your taking stances as if you must side with one or the other. It's as if your defending the corporations behind these consoles. Sony this, M$ that, both of them are looking for the best way to get you to give them your money. That is it, nothing more really. Is one worse than the other, depends on perspective. Do you need to get personal with other people who don't have the same point of view as you? no.
Just let it go already, no one is b...
With the tools that LBP gives you to create I was expecting something a little better. It really wasn't that funny. He jumped on a button and it said a token statement about RROD. Wow... Hilarious... I want that 58 seconds of my life back.
He's just stating the obvious. Same deal happened with the prior sequels in the franchise and people ate it up. There is nothing wrong with being humble, but when it is predictably reoccurring it is less impressive. If you've ever known a person who would show you their success in something and say that it is not good enough, and continue to do it over an over with everything, it becomes pesky and vexatious. Yes, vexatious, I went there, what. He needs to just be real and come out with it; &q...
Can I get in on this smorgasbord of S'n each others D over owning a console?
This video is a bunch of FMV/release video sequences strewn together... It reflects nothing on comparing anything other than pre-rendered movie sequences if any seconds of gameplay at all. Seriously, get over it, you bought what you preferred, that doesn't mean you need to jizz all over it in public. It also doesn't mean you need to find reasons to justify one over the other when in all likelihood both h...
Merritt, I think it is more likely to be centered around a dysfunctional AI that oversees a civilization/community/city. The quotes that they keep repeating, in my opinion, is probably just the propaganda it would normally broadcast, think HL2 or (more appropriately) Marathon. This may be a tie in with the end of Halo 3 where the ship was falling into a giant metal type planet, which from what I understand was basically where Marathon starts off.
All speculation on my part, but s...
Very good interview about the future of game programming in relation hardware. I really like that Tim Sweeney is approaching the subject with equal weight given to software and hardware. Reverting to C++ or using CUDA from the ground up instead of a fixed API is really intriguing. Having freely programmable hardware processing opens things widely to the imagination of the developers. Potential of games would then likely be a combination of hardware and the programmers imagination and optimiza...
Bubbles for you mfwahwah.
"I mean no Chrome"
Next gen consoles should have spinnas, amiright!?
Not sure there has ever been a game that did not rip-off some aspect of another game. It's the entertainment industry, much like music and movies, people stick to what they know works in order to succeed. Some use game aspects as "inspiration", some just blatantly reproduce it, either way, in the end, it is all a relative copy/rip-off of something that came before it.
Not really, see quote below and link.
"As it's currently planned, Epic will be "throttling" GoW2's achievements by limiting how much unlocking progress can be made per game or round. Cliffy gave an example of the unlocking system by saying that "if you're going for headshots, you get one headshot that counts and any other headshots won't count towards your Achievement" which is being done "so players don't just play to get headshots the entire round ...
It has more to do with optical connections to residence AND networking than it does size of the country. Yes it is easier to lay new infrastructure in a smaller area like Japan or Korea, but the real difference is in the fact that most if not all households with broadband connections have optical connections directly to their house in those countries. The US optical network is huge and is already in place within many major hubs and even to most hubs that connect a community or suburban area, ...
Love the style and look of D3. Need more screenshots!
I disagree with you primarily because your ability to form coherent thoughts within a sentence is, to put it mildly, horrible. Not trying to be a jerk here, but honestly your grammar needs some work.
On the point of "core" gamers not caring about the Wii, I also disagree. Definition of what a "core" gamer is will always be subjective, to say the least. Some would argue that being "core" means you value all games and seek to enjoy those that are truly...
Balanced insight and opinion. Good read.
Agreed.
Honestly I think the whole hoopla over its color palette is ridiculous. I understand people want the same dank, dark, and evil atmosphere while playing, but that doesn't mean it needs to be ever present and overbearing. Repetitive style and textures would make it bland and uniform.
Where is KH3 period. No major reward in exclusivity anymore from a developers standpoint. There is nothing wrong with multiplatform development anyway, allows more fans/consumers to enjoy the brand.
To be honest, I've never really been impressed with this game. I'm not sure I really follow the hype surrounding this game either. I don't mean to sound like a homophobe, but who wants to run around as a women in tight leather and high heals that look ridiculous. I don't mind playing as female characters, some are badass (mirrors edge), but this is just weird. Art direction is okay, but nothing that really says wow. It looks like it is aimed at an Asian audience. Yup, I went there, so I guess...
