I mean, I'm not leveling danger close pro on just hand grenades, no way dude.

The 'article' here mangles the understanding of what's going on. So from the actual blog this is what's happening.

EA will own a lot of dedicated servers and will not be distributing the software required to allow people to set up dedicated servers on their own. The game will not support mods but the servers will allow for a variety of config options. Presumably this means people can buy or rent servers from EA that would still be operated by EA but would presumably afford peop...

Those set pieces were awesome. If they can have a whole game of stuff like that happening....

Immersion is the most important thing for me, and that is served by proper physics, quality graphics, good scripting, AI, etc. The more I feel like I'm part of the world or that this is a world that could really exist somewhere, the more interested I am in the game.

So. Pirating is theft, yes?
What's the term for when you sell someone a good or service under false pretenses, one that they won't be able to use? If the bans were timed for MW2 then isn't that exactly what MS was doing?

I'm hoping Heavy Rain for next year honestly. There's some pretty stiff competition though. Starcraft 2 is dropping, just to name a bombshell.

I think uncharted 2 deserves GotY because what they've pushed in terms of presentation is damn near unprecedented in the industry. the attention to detail and high quality production are what really earn it. The approach to acting for mocap and voice in this game is something that I think the rest of the industry needs to look to because it's almost a whole new school of thought. I really hope this game gets honored everytime it has a chance because I would love to see the end of canned stati...

I mean, I rather hope to see cloud computing come in at some point, if implemented properly it won't be too onerous and it allows for a steady expansion of technical power.

Another fixed hardware generation of consoles probably won't even reach the level of quality we're seeing here, we have to recognize that tech demos are just that, they showcase a highlight reel to get everyone salivating over the new tech, in a proper game on the GT300 cards this is obviously impractical. Gi...

No offence but after a lot of thought I think Natal is the far superior technological offering (vs the Playstation motion Control) the only problem is that I see it being poorly positioned by Microsoft.
They're trying to bill it as a direct motion experience that will physically put you in the game. That will work for a lot of casual titles and clever devs will be able to find ways to introduce it's elemtns into core titles but it's not something that's going to be accepted by most c...

The title they were looking for was "Uncharted 2 PS3 can't afford to become a Killzone 2" but neither truly relates to the article

The premise of course being that the latter while heavily hyped and a very high quality game was not the commercial success that had been hoped for and that furthermore it failed to be a system seller.

From the article however what they are really talking about is how well they expect Uncharted 2 to do commercially, which isn't ...

I hate when people talk about the gameplay making the game. It's certainly possible that some innovative and heretofore unseen mechanic can manifest in some low poly world but for the most part gameplay hasn't evolved much, if at all, over the last couple generations. Secondly I hope for a future of games that mine the same vein as heavy rain. Games that seek to actually expand what it means to be a videogame and not simply produce another first person shooter or RPG title. These sorts of gam...

If the robber lunged at the guy then he made a boneheaded move and paid the price. It all depends on the situation, if you're in a dangerous situation where a guy is coming at you you absolutely need to respond but if you have some guy you caught robbing you and you cut him down just because he's in your house taking your stuff... well that's different and you should go to jail.

Apparently I'm an initiate in the Illuminati now... I guess that's something I should keep to myself.

I'm definitely loving the style of this game. The aesthetic in the mix here is very cool, makes me think of Hellblazer.

I'd pull the 2010 launching GoW3

So much has fallen to 2010 now Mass Effect 2 looks so much better than the first that it's almost impossible to believe it shares code with Rainbow 6 Vegas.

Mafia 2 on the Illusion Engine looks gorgeous as well but both titles fall in 2010

I think the way they've set up their engine and the various improvements for dx11 as well as their experience with dx10 will all work together to make it easy for them to produce a graphically top shelf pc title taking advantage of all the latest in the api.

I hate it when people say low and behold. It's lo, lo and behold. what the hell would low and behold even mean?

Double standards and societal hypersexualization of men are awesome, AMIRITE?

Almost forgot prevalent heteronormativity. If this was an older man on the same boy you can bet the comments here would reflect a serious shift in public opinion.

A good chunk of comments in this thread simply serve to further reinforce my belief that the end of the world is near.

Wow you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. First off PS3 exclusives graphical fidelity vs 360 exclusive graphical fidelity demonstrates that there's power available to devs willing to tap it.

Second of all DVD9 will absolutely be a limit to Rage as anyone who has any understanding of ID Tech 5 could tell you. Applying the megatextures approach in the engine allows for something close to 100% unique texturing for everything, no tiling bullshit. The cost to this is ...
