I suggest you watch again, and learn something about game physics before you make yourself look like more of a fool. It's called Endorphin (or Euphoria for consoles). Go to NaturalMotins website. Download the Learning Edition. Play with it. Enjoy it. Understand what put's it head and shoulders above "physics" engine. Euphoria is like giving AI a working nervous system, and completely gets rid of canned animation in physics routines.
I'm sure the R&C team jumped into something new as soon as ToD was finished. Whether it's another sequel or a new IP has yet to be revealed.
I dunno, every time in the past that Insomniac has released a bullshot, they told us as it was released that it didn't use in-game assets. This has been claimed to be 100% in-game by a developer for Insomniac. And, seriously, it's Insomniac. Nobody has more experience on the PS3. Most companies struggle to get their first game out still. Resistance is hard at work on number 3 with two of the best games of this Sony generation already under their belt. I wouldn't doubt their capabilities. <...

Having graduated from Catholic high school, I feel like every day I was there, I hated religion and died a little more.
Not sure what religion had to do with this though, seems like he was just certifiably insane and unfit to be a parent.
That was clever!
HDDVD is like a old, dying, diseased cat. And Toshiba is the crazy cat lady using her life saving to keep the poor thing alive. Any reasonable person would have let it die peacefully long ago, but not the crazy cat lady. It's all she has!
Yes, GUI is nice, but I can do anything twice as fast with a command line. Also, I'm a programmer, and having Vim inherently tied into nearly every build of Linux makes my life a lot easier. If I wanted an OS with memory leaks out the @ss, heavy vulnerability to infection, unacceptable minimum requirements, insane cost, and the worst customer support of our time, then sure, I'd use Windows.
SNES had tons of every genre you could possibly want, even FPSs like Doom and Wolfenstein3D. If I had to spend the rest of my life, stranded somewhere with just one console and all of it's games, it would be simple. SNES all the way.
You lead a sad life where you think the 360 has the best games of ALL TIME. I remember a time when developers put time into storytelling and character development, because guess what, what they couldn't convey with graphics, they had to convey with storytelling 3x as good to make up for the deficit. And nothing can compare to the raw entertainment of playing Contra 3 with a buddy on the SNES... nothing.
Go to NaturalMotion's website and download the learning edition yourself. It's lot's of fun. Also, Indiana Jones and Star Wars are using this to a much greater extent. Wait for them before you judge the engine. I've been learning it for over 3 years. I dare say I'm close to the caliber of the developers themselves, at least with the features available in the Learning Edition.
If they're gonna update it so soon, they better have a written apology and an update service for people who were suckered into/had no choice but Vista. Wait, nevermind, Microsoft doesn't know what customer service is anymore. Their idea of customer service is having you wait on hold with someone in India who can't speak English.
Also, to they person saying Windows is superior to MacOS and Linux, get a brain. Both, via the command line, are much more versatile than Windows could...
Unfortunately that's not the way sandbox games work. Missions themselves take up very little room on the disc. It's the actual world that takes up all of the room, and having to switch between islands would not fly with me.
I don't think so, I remember reading somewhere (I think it was Game Developer Magazine) that if they couldn't fit it on one, they'd slash texture size and reuse more than they had planned to make them all fit. *sigh* I hate DVDs...
Sorry to burst your little bubble there, but no, no one has, thus far, managed to get around the hypervisor used to block access to the RSX, and therefore, anything useful with hacking. Dumping a Blu-Ray is trivial. playing a dumped Blu-Ray is impressive, and playing a dumped Blu-Ray on the PS3 is something no one has even chipped the surface of yet. Because of the slot loader and miniscule boot times, it will be a while before it's done, and even longer before you can do it without opening t...
HA. You wish it was as simple as a 7600 series GPU. Learn something about PCs, even a little bit before you start expounding your "knowledge" about the RSX. What it is, is a 79xx HEAVILY MODIFIED GPU with updated SM support, and a completely customized OpenGL library system. It also has access to 256MB+ of incredibly high-speed XDR. Imagine a PC card based on 7900 series with a 3.2GHz memory clock speed, and access to BIOS level firmware updates. It would certainly give even newer c...
My personal belief is that the hypervisor is encrypted using some new algorithm run by the Cell, meaning that to crack it, you would almost have to have your own unlocked cell to reverse engineer the almost certainly parallel programmed algorithm. It would need to be done when the hypervisor is either loading, or during the instant it is being unlocked, so that you could see the changes in the registry values that the system uses to unlock it legitimately. It comes down to the Cell, clever us...
Every texture in the game is hand drawn, i.e. no reference photos, no scans. They did it to make sure that everything looks like we imagine said material to look like, thus avoiding the Uncanny Valley effect of almost being there but not quite. That's why the whole game looks rather cartoony. It was a brilliant technique.
This will sell PS3s everywhere. Anyone who denies that has no idea the kind of momentum the FF franchise has behind it. Look at Crisis Core. It singlehandedly made the PSP jump from mediocre to successful in Japan. People will kill for XIII if there are shortages in Japan, I can promise you that.
Ha. I was just in that store (Sterling, VA) yesterday. Too bad I didn't check it out, I could have reported it! Yeah, it seems they're not doing it anymore when I called. It's fun to have news happen so close to home.
Any Northern VA people wanna play a game, my PS3 Tag is: m9105826. Add me if you want.
Why is Emmy Rossum doing this to herself? She's talented.
Also, that Piccolo picture looks strangely familiar...
