Exactly...
Most people who play games don't realize how much QA goes into avoiding inducing things like motion sickness, Epilepsy, and other induced physiological phenomenon .
It we released games without all this testing ... it's actually scary to contemplate.

There is actually a defect type for that when writing a bug up for QA, it is called a Hazzard. If a game makes your players sick then you might want to fix that.

Because induced epileptic fits can occur to anyone under proper circumstances. This game currently is significantly above the general curve for epileptic safety that most games with labels have. (the difference between 10% of the population vs .01%)
Once you have one though you are susceptible for life - so inducing a life altering and threatening condition to just sell a game is basically evil (and lawsuit worthy).

You would think a Pro Nintendo site would have spun the title a bit different that is for sure but
The Wiimote is impercise in it's current form so it is technically accurate... EA is speculating what with Wii MotionPlus can do for them in terms of making accuracy better. View

Obviously did not read the article before you commented eh?

Bioware was making it plain that the original blog post was inaccurate. View

It's obviously not Heavy Rain
1) it's the wrong studio
2) Heavy Rain has been talked about and is known and the author states it is not a known IP
3)It was not discussed at E3 in any of the meetings and Heavy Rain was. View

I always wonder why people
Say they are surprised by PSP sales

it regularly tops DS by a significant sales margin in Japan (last 8 months) and has a continually expanding library with great games and is continually updated with Firmware and technology View

FPS Nut... I love that you use a source that has been widely panned as being extremely inaccurate.

Ownage? by whom? View

Well I would like to believe my competition has shown everything... I am sure that much is still left to be revealed.
And Lest we Forget - Bungie and Halo + 1 other game by Bungie has to be revealed yet though we do know they are coming. View

As I have said before (and is posted in my profile)
we who work in the industry don't dare discriminate even if we wanted to (which we mostly don't)- we can have preferences but while people like Miyamoto, Kojima, Jaffe, etc have lifetime jobs - us jobbers can be working for the competition on any given day depending on how our previous outing in sales went. (no one (no not even Valve, Insomniac, Nintendo and Bungie) can guarantee a hit every time up and when it misses - people end up looking for work.) View

you would be surprised at how often hiding in a box works - MGO people still get surprised all the time. (I just shoot all the boxes as I pass now) View

Hmm that is a complete reversal of stated direction if this is the case. The www.scedev.net information still says that you should be able to visit any region - but you are locked to spawning in your own on start up. View

Do they want Huxley now that MAG is announced? View

actually the direct quote you mention is * as it's translation is suspect.
When translated the meaning could be that the PS3 will launch in all regions outside Japan simultaneously when it releases and the same for the X360 when it releases.
They state straight up that the PS3 version released worldwide will not be held up for development of the x360 version in the same interview which suggests either that the x360 version will be complete at the same time as the PS3 version (unlikely) or that the PS3 version will release first. View

the big thing is... understanding what Kitase meant
* What is the timing of the releases?

Kitase: “As for the timing between US and Europe, we will try to make it as close as possible. Also, localization for US and Europe we will try to expedite as much as possible than the previous case.”

is he referring to both platforms or just the x360s release schedule as the questions were related to the x360 at the time he said that.

(this is as good of translation as I can give - I would have asked for clarification but the interviewer did not) View

I have a major problem with this statement:
"As evident by the huge outcry on gaming websites, blogs and forums - Square-Enix's announcement yesterday that FFXIII will be released simultaneously on the Xbox 360 and the PS3 "

that can't be the case because:
http://multiplayerblog.mtv....

"What’s the development process for the game? "
Hashimoto: “As we announced at the Microsoft presentation, as of today we are ready to start developing the title for Xbox 360. First, we will complete the PS3 in Japan. Then after that we will start localization of ‘FFXIII’ for PS3 for US and Europe. Then at the same time, we will start Xbox 360 the version development. That’s our entire process of development.”

they are starting work on the X360 version after it is released for the PS3 ... so day and date release of FFXIII is impossible. View
