Feature freeze means from that point onwards they cease development of new features, as opposed to ceasing all production on the game entirely.
So they don't have a week, they have just under a month.
Sounds more to me like he's making a joke about some sort of problem in the programming and once again the laughable standards of video-game journalism has taken over.
Good:
Combat is awesome. Racing is awesome. Graphics can be awesome at times. Environments are awesome. Animations are awesome.
Bad:
Graphics are pretty okay most of the time. When they peak they peak like crazy but for the bulk of the game you'll be sat there thinking "so when's this super duper texture tech meant to kick in?". Not to mention texture streaming, piss poor optimization, no real graphical options. The obsess...
If you want to play a multiplayer game then go play a God damned multiplayer game and leave mass effect alone. Like the nine thousand mp focussed games that etch throughout the last two decades aren't enough? Who the FUCK picks up mass effect and thinks "Oh yeah this totally needs to be made competitive with limited level design?"
Jesus Christ it's like asking for your bacon sandwich to be integrated into ice cream. Whether or not it's good is besides th...
Exactly! If skyrim had been leaked it would have been on every god damn torrent, scene, P2P website and piracy blog between here and the moon. The internet is nothing short of manifesting a literal erection at an unknown location in reality over the awesome that is this game. I highly doubt if it leaked it would be a matter of rumour or speculation.
Putting it simply, if skyrim had been leaked. I'd be playing it right now. And if I was playing skyrim right now, I wouldn&...
If this game had been leaked it would have spread like wildfire. It's a hugely anticipated game and would hardly be able to hide in the shadows. Crysis 2 beta wound up as accessible as herpes within 3 days, I doubt skyrim would avoid the same fate.
I know it's really cool to try and be hip and ahead of the curve but kotaku are just being a bunch of God damned idiots. They always have been idiots and now they're just ramping up their standards. There's nothing morally or legally wrong with what Notch is doing. In fact he's being leagues more understanding and reasonable than most people would be in that situation.
This isn't a case of someone trying to rip another person off, and it's not a case ...
Must be able to put lips together and blow for personal interview with Mr.Kotick.
I think the removal of death in games has pretty much pissed all over player development. In borderlands there's no drive to improve beyond stats (FYI borderlands is my favourite game). You slam into a combat situation and if you die you just take some cash out of your pocket and go right back in. Bioshock was the exact same. This whole respawn instead of dying takes away the indignity of death. Death used to mean LOSING, now it means waiting a minute and losing a hundred bucks.

Ya know... there's an easier way to work out peoples ages.
Ask them.
And I know what you're going to say, "But people lie about their ages!". But wait! Maybe if people lie about their ages, i.e. they don't want their age to be sucked up and fed into some inevitable machine of marketting bollocks, then what's the point of bypassing that!? To annoy them?
To restrict them? To bypass the consumers freedom to turn around...
It really oughtn't to have in my opinion. Of all the places one can go when beginning to make a video game I can't help but feel a multiplayer focussed fps with team based mechanics is a bit like trying to re-invent the wheel. From bf3 to tf2, there's plenty of games to fill that hole.
I'm not saying this game won't be good. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe it'll blow away the industry. But all the effort, all the programming, all the energy, all the modell...
"Sure, you may be offended by the context of the story, but let's be honest...you are already aware that these titles games are created by smaller groups of people, who don't have to conform to the restrictions that non-independent studios have to."
Binding of Isaac just used relgious symbols in a negative light. It's like saying red alert's use of Kane and the mythology that surrounds him as a basis for a villain means they must be anti-religious!
What a surprise. I know it's nice they're putting extra effort in but when EVERY ubisoft game gets delayed for PC it just starts to feel arbitrary.
Maybe Cliffy B should strap a frag grenade to his oversized sense of self-worth and dive onto CoD? That way the industry would be free of two irritating little twats.
It's EXACTLY this sort of thing the justice system was invented for. Who cares if only 1 in 12 rapes make it to court? These guys want their money back.
Hold that thought... I can't not point the following three things out.
1 - not only did you not read the article, you didn't read my comment that you had to physically scroll past to post this comment. You're wrong and now you look like the idiot. But wait there's more.
2 - iD software is made up of some of the most intelligent and innovative people in the games industry. Not only have they shaped the industry in astounding and revolutionary...
Typically misquoted title. It's the interviewer who bloody says "console scum" not anyone at Id.
Don't worry fanboys! Put away your torches! Nothing to see here.
To be fair it takes real time and effort to take a quality steaming shit all over your paying pc market. Draconian DRM doesn't just fall out of the trees.
Yay.
Another modern warfare based shooter.
Whoop whoop.
It's a pretty redundant article. I don't get why they'd take time out of their day to write this. Nothing they mention is a "myth", and it's nothing but the most conceited load of crap to think that they need to bestow this rare and precious knowledge to us fools.
