I was looking at some of the pdf's ('multi-threading optimization', 'Curves on the RSX'). WOW, that's some hardcore sh!t.
Good to know there's some very, very smart people working on ps3 games. Kudos to Insomniac (a great developer IMO).
Wow, never thought of it that way. That would be nuts.
Microsoft could sell the game disk in a bag full of dog sh!t and it would still probably sell 1 million copies.
Xbots don't care if Halo 3 is just slight improvement over Halo 2 (which was a slight improvement over Halo 1). Xbots like to follow Microsoft blindly.
1up and EGM (they're basically the same company) have been really pompous towards Sony lately. First, they give Lair a very low score, lower than any other publication (presumely b/c the reviewers couldn't adjust to the new controls).
Now 1up has the balls to dictate what price a video game should be.
1up sucks and EGM sucks.
Woohoo, gotta love that damage control!
my guess is that it downloads the programming info using an internet connection (ps3's wifi). I'm guessing the user input's their zip code and what service they're using (satellite, cable) as well as their provider (directv, dish, cox).
i think that's actually how tivo works.
It would be great if you could play ps3 games and in the background, it record tv programs. Sony might implement that in a later release, I doubt it would be part of the initial DVR release, but anything can happen.
50 million disk errors? have a link to prove that?
personally, i don't even think its 1/10th of that number.
....they're aweful. How could they have released such a faulty piece of hardware to begin with?
I guess that's how they do things at Microslop, release a faulty product and then patch the f*ck out of it.
It won't make a difference, the PR damage to Lair is done. The reviews (good and bad) are out. A patch isn't going to change that.
BTW, the EGM staff (the 3 reviewers who reviewed Lair) are a bunch of cry baby p*ssies. I have a feeling they rated the game low b/c they didn't have the patience to get used to the controls.
Who the hell wants to play a game where the main guy with a fishtank on his head?
BTW, why in almost every Xbox360 game the characters almost always wear a helmet? 360 developers are just too damn lazy to make realistic hair, so they take the lazy route and put helmets on everyone. Lame....
Maybe not sh!t but it looks weak. I'm sorry Mass Effect doesn't look that great. I saw the trailers on gametrailers and it seemed everytime the character (who u play as) shoots at an enemy, THERE IS ONLY 1-2 ENEMIES ON SCREEN. That's terrible.
Whatever happened to next-gen with many enemies or characters on screen at once. Mass Effect is way overrated IMO. Visually, a game like Lair blows it away (gameplay might be another story).

of course pc gaming is not dying. if some chick is at the office playing solitaire, hey she's a pc gamer.
'How many console games sold 9 million copies?'
Mario, Zelda, Madden, Final Fantasy. I could go on but you get the point.
9 million WOW players vs. 150 million console gamers (ps2 + wii + ps3 + xbox 360)
Integra is right, if MS decided to put a HD-DVD into the Xbox 360 that would have resulted in months of delay and the Xbox 360 would have costs $500-600.
RRoD for $600 HD-DVD equipped Xbox 360? Gamers would be ***ABSOLUTELY LIVID*** if that happened with that expensive of a console. IMO, MS would have been done in the console business if that happened.
Damn, that girl was pretty hot. Too bad she took her own life. The world could never have enough hot chicks, its the fat ugly ones that need to go.
EGM sucks. seriously, only an idiot would pay for a video game magazine when you can get 10x the content for free online.
@Da Ghostdog....wow, what a dumb post. HD-DVD was made by Toshiba and Blu-ray by Sony so its Japanese vs Japanese. The American companies are just bit players in this format 'war'.
