Rebel Assault but no TIE Fighter ? Ba ha ha ha ha!
TIE Fighter is my all-time favourite videogame. Maybe i have Lawrence Holland to thank more than Lucasarts, but still, it's a very sad day.
That 3d map is teh sux
@smashman LOL well played Sir
This game was developed by Level-5 and as such it will take a very critical analysis to prove to me it's not "good".
This blog article did not convince me.
I find that the value proposition of Steam is the best deterrent against piracy. And once you get in the groove of using Steam, my consoles are sitting collecting dust. I just like seeing DirectX 11 games on my HDTV it makes the 360 look last-gen.
I think the Steambox could be the major disruptor this year. Should be interesting !
Sony has Cinavia, which affects PS3 Media Server, and that sucks.
Guys---
Let me tell you something. And this is true. It's not meant to get anybody upset.
Sony as a company is in very serious trouble. Sony is a very well established multinational but they
are on the brink of bankruptcy. They are also in a major transition where their previous strategy regarding TV,gaming, content, and other hardware is having trouble .
Sony Defence Force better realize this. It's not about whether Xbox is b...
Rockstar must be targeting the next gen right ? Maybe an 360, PS3 edition, and also a "new Xbox" edition that looks like PC ?
The display output limits the utility of the hardware. If the next-gen can promise 1080p at 60 fps, I am in.
I run big picture at home, with a PC, and HDMI cable, and a wireless receiver for my 360 controller. My card is a GTX 570. It runs it all at 1080p at ultra settings. It's all my big tv can do !
They told Kojima that game does not need story.
But Kojima did not believe it.
Today Kojima is millionaire.
Any list that includes Episode One : Racer and omits TIE Fighter and Dark Forces 2 is laughable.
Pushing pixels for real time graphics at 4000x2000 would be really hard. I run a gtx 570 on my PC and could not achieve this. Also, the successor to DVD is turning out to be Netflix not blu ray, and streaming is fairly settled at 720p for cost bandwidth practicalities. You will not be throwing petabytes of data around in streaming even 10 years from now. I agree with the premise that we need bleeding edge gfx acceleration in the next gen but it won't be 4K.
Not even Microsoft would have the nuts to make Call of Duty a 720 exclusive.
In my opinion EA ripped the Mass Effect 3 ending out so they could sell it back again to users. I was so disappointed I always think thrice before choosing EA titles.
Ok, I was a game freak and 10 years old in 1983. They didnt call it a crash back then, they called it the great videogame shakeout.
What happened was there was a glut of low quality games everywhere. I think Atari was trying to grow their market with the 400 and 800 and then the 5200 but no one knew what the difference was. All three systems had the same games being released like Joust.
The c64 was the outlier. The quality of graphics was a quantum leap. Compare Pitfall 2 on t...
Umm M$ is getting ready for the next gen. It'll be the next gen in 6 or so months, with Wii U leading the way. In six months from now this article will seem sillier than it does now.
When novelists do what Bioware did, it's called breaking the unspoken contract. The novel builds and builds, and then at the end, some sort of McGuffin or crazy new twist is inserted at the very end that goes against everything that has come before, ruining the book for the reader.
Bioware is even worse, as their marketing team have been hyping this since 2007.
My guess is that EA ripped the ending out of the game, hoping to sell it as monetized DLC. <...
What happens when an author breaks an unspoken contract with a reader is that the reader rebels and puts the book down. Bioware made a contract with the user way back in Mass Effect in 2007. They chose to break the contract in the last 10 minutes. There must be a reason for this !
New XBox not requiring always on servers like Diablo 3 / simCity
Defcon 1 status for PS4 momentum
