Erotic?

I sometimes think Levine wants to make deeply allegorical comments on philosophy, world view, and history in a science fiction context but he seems prone to doing that without really understanding his subject.. Or maybe he thinks he needs to pare it down for his audience who need to shoot a hulking thing more than they need to argue about elements of his game's background.

Either way, his work comes off as a a bit preachy and one sided much like Lorne Lanning's Odd Wo...

BioShock infinite seems to be attacking early America ideas of 'manifest destiny' and 'exceptional-ist' aggression except he's somehow turned them into a withdrawn, xenophobic, twisted-Shangri-la type society instead of an aggressive, voracious, expansive one controlled by the interests of highly subsidized and vertically integrated corporate monoliths who seek to supply a rapidly growing urban society that is leaving the old agrarian economy and shaping a new industrial o...

Well, the story of Bioshock 2 doesn't fit very well with the premise of Bioshock and stinks of serious retcon, and we all kind of knew about Rapture so seeing Rapture more screwed up was not as novel. I think the little sister timed assault-turret defense and then sister fight mechanic kind of bothered a lot of people. On the other hand, the shooting mechanics and bio-power usage got a LOT better, the hacking was better, and the plot made somewhat more sense overall.

I e...

And if your joke's not funny...and it's just a stale old meme/animated gif that you saw on NeoGAF three years ago...well..intended humor or not it's just not funny.

Crytek was right.

Why won't iD be right too?

Why won't DICE and their BF3 perhaps be the best when it comes out? Console graphics software advances and unfortunately Fanboys sacred cows don't.

Heh. Somebody obviously wasn't on usenet back in the good ol' PSX vs. N64 vs. Genesis vs. SNES vs. Saturn era. (People still supported their old consoles better then than we do now because not everybody would buy the new one!)

This guy is one of the backbones of 3d gaming who messes with this stuff every day, and you're a nobody who doesn't.

And the funny thing is that PS3 doesn't have much more raw (peak) performance and it's generally so much more difficult to access that differential that the enhancement to the output gained isn't good enough to be worth the effort.

That's why designing games as much as possible to favor the engine and palette and using more expensive animation techniques is a better use of the time and money than trying to run the PS3 at peak performance and efficiency.

Given that there is no such thing as a Zombie apocalypse, no, you can't survive one. You also can't succumb to one. It's fictional.

You won't fight anybody. You're just bitching and posturing on a comment section of an N4G story. You're a frustrated nobody and aren't actually involved in this. Get real.

"Douche chill" ? Uggh. Just stop talking.

Could be. Late May is pretty crowded with games and it is a new IP so launching a week early may be a good move.

Sony didn't settle because they thought they had a good chance of winning all they wanted. I suspect the judge pressured this. She blundered into a stupid ugly case and wanted it off her docket before it got reversed or appealed for bad jurisdiction. She probably told Sony to settle for agreements protecting their interests only or she'd get a lot more persnickety and less friendly about their odd requests (like paypal and IP subpoenas, and even suing in California under the name of a...

Out of jail? You idiot. It was a civil case over a perceived violation of contract law. There would have been no jail time.

Here's the part where Sony admits that their position is rather shaky in the modern legal environment and the Judged admits that the whole cause of action is somewhat in doubt.

" If any term of such SCEA or SCEA Affilates' license agreement or terms of use applicable to that Sony Product shall be determined by Congress or b...

"Pathways into Darkness" is an old old game.

The worst thing about Gears 2 was the whiplash of the crazy plot where about 2/3's through, you start trying to sink Jacinto instead of save it and the locust start trying to stop you. I thought it was a pretty good game as far as execution goes. Storywise ...it was a real mess, and the Dom drama didn't work out very well either.

I found God of War III kind of tedious though it's just because God of War is always just MORE God of War and I am tired of Kratos whini...

The main sacrifice for the consoles was 30 FPS. I think the open world was taken away to keep you from wandering around in empty areas where there was nothing to fight like you did if you went exploring in Crysis. Dunia does open world FPS just fine and it's a less advanced engine.

Open world or Sandbox isn't that big of a deal performance wise. It just loads geometry for surrounding areas and then shows them and spawns enemies when you cross a trip wire point. Often...

" And to the rest. You can nag Killzone for all the little things, but when it comes down to it you need to learn to accept it competes with your PC baby and thats all their is to it."

720P at 30 FPS and minimal anti-aliasing(minimal for a PC I mean) doesn't compete graphically with a semi-recent gaming PC in any meaningful sense.

In gameplay? Sure. I'll give you that. But in graphics? No. Hell no. LOL Hell No. The PS3 is much closer graphic...

" It also challenges the authority of Rovio to talk badly about Nintendo, and other large gaming companies."

Snort. Whatever. 'Authority' is NOT given and taken away in game blogs dude. Sorry to be the one to tell you. No one needs your permission to say anything about anything. Get down off that shaky pedestal 'afore you fall off it. Try to think humble "human being" type thoughts.
