If they charged 5$ for the game on PSN people would buy it, so long as you got some trophies. They could have some awesome trophies for this one:
-Make it down the hall.
-Grab the fire off the wall.
-Jump up above.
-Burn the rope.
Platinum.
The game in which you can create ANYTHING (suposedly), is going to be releasing DLC (most likely paid for) which will contain new objects.
This suggests to me that you really can't create quite as much as everyone was expecting. I'm starting to think that rather than the single player levels being built with the in-game tools; the in-game tools are simple a derivitive of the single player and allow you to reposition objects that were in the single player.

The Tribes series was the best FPS of it's time and I'd trade just about - scratch that - I'd trade ANY of the modern FPS to go back to the glory days of Tribes 2.
Sierra had a hand in that. And again I'll mention the original Homeworld, 2000 game of the year, not expected to be outdone until the 3000 game of the year is declaired.
Thanks.
I'll receive a gold trophy when I visit the grand canyon next year.
I was thinking that boss battle looked a little to scripted to be any fun. "Run over this bridge, don't worry, you can't be hurt at this point, go through this door, dance around until you're inevitably picked up..."
It's nice to hear that there was actually some challenge, enough so that the developer ended up improvising and still almost died. All this and it still turned out well enough.
I have some programming experience and something like an achivement or trophy would take an extra week at most. A day or two to implement them into the code, and another couple days to test. Your done.
And no modeler is going to be intimidated by created some low polly trophy to be implemented in home. Cake walk.
I thought the G25 wheel was supported seeing as there is a full section dedicated to that wheel along in the options? Whats the deal there?
"The service, set to launch in the fall with an initial selection of about 10,000 titles, will be available at no extra cost to Xbox Live Gold members who are also Netflix subscribers."

So the same XBL that charges for themes is going to give out movies for free?
Sounds like they have a bit of an identity crisis.
That's exactly what I keep saying when I tell people I didn't steal Windows, I haven't taken it away from anybody.
No matter how you cut it, 2000 bucks (for those willing to spend it) will always buy superior hardware. I just hope that developers continue to make games that will take advantage of that hardware.
One trend that bothers me is people's resistance to future proofing a game. Crysis for example ran well, and looked good on a mediocre machine with lowest settings. IT LOOKED GOOD! But everyone starts boo-hoo'ing that they can't run it on highest settings.
People hate ...
Getting kinda bored. Could go for some Halo 4 about now - what's that? The UPS guy is knocking on my door, has a package from Microsoft. I love not having to wait.
Sony has been hyping this "June 3, 2008 update" for several years now, and when it finally arives, nothing. Pfft. All hype!

PS3 is doing well, and then they add features* and this is a problem?
*Granted, not all desired features have been added, but features have been added. Free of charge I might add.
By the time he realized that old themes can't possibly work with new icons he had already put it into the article, and he was under so much stress he completely forgot about the backspace button.
With the power of the CELL, I was hoping to be able to run two games at the same time.
LOL, J/K.
That was a lot of talk for just a few features, but those are exactly the features I want, and we all know PS3 is taking a huge step in the right direction with this one. Can't wait for the added communication this will bring with my friends and clan mates. :D
I'd love to ween myself off too, but to many games only run on windows.
I'm using Vista now because I was playing Sins of a Solar Empire, and then I didn't want to reboot to Ubuntu just to surf, so I'm using the good ol' IE7.
They better make the PC version PC quality, and not have them both looking the same.
Is it a matter of adjusting your TV every time you switch games? Or just a matter of taking 10 seconds to turn full RGB on and be done with it, forever?
*Except for those things which will be made available later as DLC. Those things you cannot do.
Serious: If you can do anything, what are they going to put in the DLC that isn't already there?
I expect the creative abilities will be more limited then we would hope. "I've seen this moving block a thousand times before."
