But yep, I was there, and I can tell you that we did bring the server down, for a full half hour. You don't need that many people to do so, trust me. We are not talking Google or Ebay here (with huge servers farm). We are talking about your typical everyday server.
Ten thousands hardcore fans hitting refresh every seconds will bring down any typical server. And sure enough, EoJ has tons of hardcore fans, myself included. Was definitively a fun event to witness.

If you're not folding, what have YOU done to help getting rid of those stupid diseases... Sure, folding may never find a cure, but at least it's a step in the right direction. It's just one of the many ways to do it. You can also give money tons of money to science, and still they may not find a cure.
And you can do nothing, and hope you will never get cancer, parkinson, or all those stupid diseases that should have been cured by now. I do hope you're lucky!!!
Didn't had problems after tons of hours, though little online play.
Same here, wondering if I should NOT download the patch...
Think about it, people claim that the BluRay is too slow, and DVD was a better choice. So, only way to use a BluRay for game, is to use hard drive install, which sadly, is not available on all 360s... So if true, putting a BluRay into a 360 would mean that games that had been developed for the DVD would lag big time, and some of them are already bordeline as is...
So, if a bluray show up for the 360, it will be an external one, like the HD-DVD used to be. So don't worry, it wil...
Yep, about 60%, and more than likely over 40 hours... Yes, I like visiting Liberty city : )
P.S.: On a 60Gig PS3 with no freeze yet. I suspect this is because I have wired internet and no RSS feed (disabled RSS since it came out).
Went online only a couple of time, but somehow, not long after the game get going, people leave the room and I end up alone : ( I know I'm good, but not that good : )
Yes, Prologue sold well in the U.S.
But wow, do americans love their shooters!
3 games in the top 10 for the 360, all shooters
2 of those games came out 5 months ago and still in top 10, and Army of two still not doing too bad after two months!
There was a rumor about Microsoft working on a "wiimote" for the 360... They should just make a handgun!!!
First, they would really limit the game budget... It was 100 millions for GTAIV, they would say: OK, you do the same thing with 20 millions or less. (And in likely half the time, since they would not understand the concept of taking more than one year to make a game)
Rockstar is huge, but it's like a family. Some employees would likely get out, some may end up moving into other EA positions, human ressource, accounting, would be agglomerated or layed off since they already hav...
Still trying to understand why some consoles would fail, and not others.
Own a 60Gig PS3 and played over 20hours easy, with no freezing. Why would other freeze... All 60gig are the same hardware.
But I like the second comment on this website about people using wireless instead of wired ethernet connection. I use wired and never had a problem. So maybe this guy could be right. For sure, as he said, there's way more people using wireless connection on PS3 than 360 since i...
Now, see you back in a week! We are going to see if we can shut down N4G!!!! I was there... Was cool for sure!
Remember, this is mostly money given back to customers by selling great hardware for less than it cost to make it... Sure I wish they would have spend a billion developing the PS3, but truly, only a chunk of that went to the dev. Everything else is simply Sony wrapping $100 bills around their console everytime they sell one. Gotta love it.
For sure it's much better than some other console where the one billion didn't went into the consumers pockets, but basically to fix a bad ...
They have no problems spending money in R&D since they are covering so many fields.
One year they loose money developping Flat Screen, but make money in the game and camera division.
Next year they loose money developping new game consoles but make money in the other fields.
And the cycle goes on. No wonder they always come up with great products. Quite often, other business ask each divisions to show a black tab. Money barely move from one division ...
Seem like they are really listening to their customers! I did hold off buying many little things, like Motorstorms cars and tracks, but hey, maybe I'll have to check again now...
No more $2.99 in U.S. and $3.99 in Canada. No more "You can buy 4 cheap items in US for $12, but only 3 in Canada for the same price"
Thank you Sony!
P.S.: Shoot, can I get some money back for the Eye of Judgment set 2 extension I bought about two weeks ago? : ) ...
Wish all the games would allow for mods like this one!
Sure, split screen is a must and had to be added. Sure more tracks are better. But Motorstorm was just a perfect, awesome physic, on the edge of your seat, driving game. Sure there wasn't enough tracks, but those tracks were all great, with just enough straights, and perfect curves, , multiple paths, and narrow places. It's easy to add more tracks, but if they are not as well done as the originals, it will simply be "another" racing game.
There was something in the o...
Feeling more and more insecure I guess. So he is claiming the PS3 is TWICE the price and yet, the PS3 has oversold the 360 in the last 3 months. So basically, there would be hundred of thousands blind rich people who are willing to pay TWICE the price for an inferior console. Or HE could be wrong, and the PS3 is giving people more than he seem to think.
Let the numbers talk. When people pay many hundred dollars for their console, they have done their homework.
If m...
Don't forget that a misleading title is great for them. Brings on the fan, which is good for the web site. So they will look somewhere else, after all, why using the title of the article, when you can dig waaaay down, rip the only negative comment about another console, and use it as a title!.
So who cares if the article is about Microsoft not doing well, with shares going down, and loosing billions in the gaming business, all you need is 10 words against the PS3 in a 2000 words...
With opinions like: "Resistance: Fall of Man was a good game", we now know he is on the right track!
WTG toughname!
Is your PSN toughname as well?
Hot summer days, and DVD spinning all the time and generating extra heat... Sandbox game calling for 6 hours game sessions. And house with no central air, getting way above your typical 72 degrees.
Now, do I want the game for a PS3 or a 360, knowing that "some" consoles don't like heat???
Two things that will tax the 360 a lot. GTAIV is very long. Expect many long session. And summer time is here. Not everybody has central air. A 6 hour gaming session in a house at 80-85 degree won't be the same as your typical 2-3 hours session at 72. So sure enough, we may see a few more RRoD. Add to this a few years of dust slowing down the fans. Yep, I would say we may see a surge a RROD. Not a big one since the one that had to fail likely did already, but one little surge for sure!
"Wouldn't it be nice if we lived in a world where people just enjoyed video games regardless of what platform they're released for?"
If true, his web site would just close down. The more hits he get, the more money he make. So how could he honestly say something like that! Everytime there's one pixel difference, he is getting thousand hits. So making sure that a PS3 video look worst than the same PS3 video is a sure way to get hits, no matter what he say. Poor guy....
