I am no expert but couldn't anyone with a PS3 super computer cluster thing just choose not to upgrade to the OS which removes Linux? Seems pretty simple to me.
A little unfair on MGS4 IMHO, sure it is a little obscure but I approached it as being a piece of Japanese storytelling and I found it no more obscure than any manga or JRPG I have ever played.
I don't understand why so many people seem to think that if a game has guns and realistic style graphics it is automatically tied to western Hollywood narrative structure.
Also, I notice Halo 2 is very much omitted from the list, I loved the first game but the story of H2 was...
A while back it was posted as news some garbage site which had top 100 cosplay girls. Now, that is fine by me for such an article to exist but I posted a comment that this was not in the strictest sense news. I got about 10 replies and some pretty offensive PMs calling me everything from a homosexual to a closet paedo who couldn't stand to look at women like a real man, reported to mods who did sweet FA.
Unfortunately, while there are still idiots out there who think this is grea...
How about things which make a difference to real gaming day to day rather than asking for techno rubbish (RAM is good but expensive, it is a playstation, not a alienware pc) and better launch gams (because everyone knows that they purposely launch with rubbish games, its all a great big ploy really because hey hate gamers, idiot).
I would like to see a central place to access game updates and have the ability to download them in the background without having to load the game and ...
I refer yu to the millions of articles about 2 years ago saying that the PSp is dead unless they scrap the UMD drive and go download only; the moment they do they get hammered for it.
I don't care myself but I have to ask why all the now so apparently obvious problems with the PSP Go were not mentioned in the articles which said that UMD would kill the PSP.
Well erm duh, of course 3D will be limited, the real purpose at this stage is to begin penetrating the market with a demo (hey buy a Sony 3D tv and you can try some 3D games on your PS3) and in 5 or so years they will market PS4 as the first truly 3D console with all games loaded for 3D.
Right now, if I were going to be a gen 1 3D owner (I wont) I would settle for Flower 3D with Move support and maybe a 3D patch to something like PAiN which would be pretty funny.
The...
I would have probably bought another 360 for this game because I did truly love the original Splinter Cell games (why I got my old xbox 1) but TBH I have played an action game with stealth elements, it was called Uncharted 2. Don't care about the graphics, don't care about the HD resolution, I wanted a proper splinter cell game like I remember and it would appear that I am to be disappointed.
I was hoping that this would be a game that is similar to a spiritual successor to Thief...
I would imagine it is more of a case that the nunchuck tyoe device with its thumbpad will control the steering while the buttons on the wand device will control accelerator and brakes (there are triggers right?) then the other stuff is easy like the head tracking etc.
Will I use it? Unlikely but with only 3 buttons needed for the game (power, brake, steer) it is a fairly easy thing to implement.
Maybe it is me but I would like to see a simulated gear change though, f...
The LX903 model is 3D ready out of the box and comes with the 2 pairs of the glasses, the HX models can be upgraded to work with 3D but require the purchase of an external 3D transmitter and the glasses.
The guy in the Sony Centre was almost right.
@Darkeyses; no there will not be third party specs. While all the technology is similar, the glasses themselves rely on proprietary signals specific to each manufacturer. To conclude, Only SOny glasses will work on a Sony TV, same for Samsung and Panasonic too.
While expensive, these are not just polarised or coloured specs like you get at the cinema or in garbage DVDs (My Bloody Valentine I am looking at you). These are active with the lenses opening and closing 60x a second for...
Nope, the brands all require the use of their own glasses even though they all rely on the same technology. Sony need Sony, Samsung need Samsung etc meaning no third party alternatives either.
I do remember however Sony said they will bundle 2 pairs of specs with the top of the range model (with the built in transmitter) while all the other brands require the purchase of the glasses separately.
@Kneon
A nice idea but if I am interpreting you correctly, you are asking for different level design for each difficulty. Seems a bit drastic IMO, a lot of extra work on something less than 10% of players will see.
To me, Uncharted is linear because it suits the style of the game, a cinematic style set piece oriented game cannot equally be open world in any meaningful way; those two styles are utter opposites.
That said, the train level was great, the mo...
Man who sold his company to Microsoft and makes games for them comments publicly that he is unimpressed with a piece of rival hardware.
In other unsurprising news, water quenches thirst and breathing is good for you.
So let me be clear, according to some idiots the Playstation Move has lag in its alpha build so is rubbish while Natal used a pre-rendered video system in its early demo and is equally rubbish as it did not show the lag. Glad to hear that the stupid are idiotically reactionary to all hardware.
I hate to point this out but it is called an alpha build for a reason, if it were perfect and ready for launch tomorrow they would release it tomorrow.
In this form, you should...
I hope that Konami recognises how poor the HD versions of PES have been and uses the move controller to release a HD version of the excellent Wii PES game. I mean, I am no fan of the idea of HD Wii port but frankly, PES is now so far behind FIFA it is embarrassing so perhaps a bold step is the answer.
I thought PES Wii was one of the best games I played in the past few years and is a great example of how a 'core' game can be adapted to play using motion controls.
What twaddle, it is pretty smart how that Microsoft thing works but finding a real world use for it is the trick.
Why will a developer make games for the iPhone? Simple, they sell tons with very little piracy.
And as for the xbox being like a pc, well it has similar components but I hardly think the Microsoft who kill consoles for having mods are really that much more open and free than Apple.
In my neck of the woods there is a game and a gamestation but both tiny little shops in really inconvenient spots, yet right over the road from the current Game is a big shop which used to be Zavvi. Even if I wanted to I could not shop in there on a Saturday or at any time near Xmas because you physically cannot browse in the shop because of the size of the queue.
Regardless, they are rip-off merchants and they wiped £10 of reward points off my card without notice because I ...
Actually they class a 7/10 as average, 5/10 is poor and anything below that is just horrible.
I don't subscribe to the bias thread which seems to be running but I feel they may have been slightly harsh . I mean, I imagine the game is not perfect but it seems rather irrational to complain about the lack of innovation in gaming etc and the poor story of many games but then criticize an original game with an unusually progressive and mature script.
Perhaps it is more a ...
The device marketed as revolutionary, no matter how non-revolutionary it may be in reality, will always benefit from better sales or at least sales predictions. Regardless, predictions about devices which lack prices, release dates or any final word on how they will be marketed and supported count for little.
When it comes down to it, have either one of them been effectively demonstrated to bring a new type of gaming or a new game. TBH, I don't care if they can control Burnout or...
I never understood why a 7/10 is average; surely that is why a 5/10 exists. If 7 is average, then why do you need between 1-6 to quantify bad but the difference between average and excellent is 3 points. No wonder I see so many tv adverts with 4/5 splashed across the screen.
Myself, I don't really care for reviews, there is either a game I want to play or one I don't; I don't need a manchild with an inflated sense of his own worth scrambling for credibility by fai...
