  1. I'm not exactly expecting them to put a HD7950 in there. Kinda sucks it's only expected to be 20% more than the Wii U (cos that means they will be close enough that the Wii U might become the lowest denominator between the three for multi-plats unlike the moment where the Wii was so far behind the PS3 and 360 it got its own versions). Of course at the moment it's all rumour and speculation. Still with how things are heating up it does seem that this E3 will see the showing off of at least either the next Xbox or the PS4 (if not both). But if it's not expected until 2013 it's going to suck if the chips are 2 years out of date before it even comes out.
  2. http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2012/01/25/heads-up-game-store-update-25th-january-2012/ All PSone and PSP Final Fantasy titles are on sale this week. I'm very likely going to get myself FFVIII since that's the only PSone one I've yet to play.
  3. So Piratebay will now allow you to pirate physical items. http://www.zdnet.com...s-339330303.htm (and if you check the current list one of them is a Warhammer 40K Dreadnought which I'm pretty sure is copyright.) Makerbot already have http://www.thingiverse.com/, but I've a feeling they're original creations unlike what TPB tend to deal with. So yeah, we're not too far off "you wouldn't download a car" (at least as far as Matchbox are concerned). It's slow and somewhat expensive (but $1000 is much much lower than they used to be), but I can't see it being too long before these are a somewhat common sight. Then you'll have Reloaded.Belkin.iPod.Case.Gen8.zip
  4. This. Most of the time Relentless Assault with odd Combat Clinic now n then will finish them off. You have to kinda go out your way a bit to make a fight interesting and tactical. The Paradigm system helped a lot in that respect, rather tactical, but the enemies sucked to use it against. I quite liked Lost Odyssey's Ring System, it made the typical "pick option, watch it execute" JRPG system a bit more action orientated (You held down RB until two rings aligned while attacking, it'd cause extra damage/effects depending on the ring you had equipped). As for story I see nothing hugely wrong with FFXIII, it is a game after all, not like most other stories are any better (Nier is up next btw, you guys better not be over-hyping it). Music kinda sucked, I liked the old melodies and such, but FFXIII was a bit too poppy. Only one I quite liked was Barthandulus boss fight with the chorus n such. I think towns and mini-games helped to break the constant string of fighting up. That for me was FFXIIIs major downfall, no downtime, the pacing was terrible.
  5. From what I've heard of the Kindle Fire, wait for V2. It's a great price, and Amazon have the CDN to back it up, but its not so hot on the hardware side (and not just in lower end CPU stuff) @Fuchikoma: The bonus of Android is that it's FOSS, so the MOD n such can edit it to their whim, unlike propriety OSes like iOS where they'd have to wait for Apple to apply bug fixes (which first means convincing Apple there is a problem with their software). It's also fairly simple to lock down so only certain Apps can run, and iirc they already have their own military App store.
  6. This is going to be one of the most multi-cultural dubs in existence. I guess I might throw myself in for adding an English touch despite knowing nothing of Phoenix Wright other than the "Objection!" stuff. American, Serbian, Irisih, Mexican and English (walk in a bar).
  7. I have tons of stuff I purposefully subscribe to just cos of PXOD.
  8. wait was this the one about downloading the demo? Cos I got that this morning and I think it's just EAs usual email spam they send out, not the game itself.
  9. But this is a public vote so we know you voted twice for FFVII
  10. I swear I heard one, but couldn't find it, it seemed to be above me so I think it may have glitched out.
  11. Bulletstorm It's a game I really like, it is how I'd have imagined DNF was meant to come out like. I'm a bit sad we'll probably not see stuff like the "Skillshot" system in place in other games. The ending kinda sucks balls since the game would have done fine on its own but it's set up for a sequel (that I hear is likely to never come). It's a fun game, it actually innovates within the somewhat stale FPS genre. It's nice to be sliding about, pulling enemies into spikes on the wall, kicking them into cables or just wrapping them up with an explosive chain. Also I got 26/28 of the news bots :/
  12. http://www.damnlag.com/why-final-fantasy-ix-should-server-as-a-blueprint-for-square-enix/
  13. http://www.bethblog....ate-for-skyrim/ And beta is now up. (Also terrible compression man)
  14. It's also maybe worth adding that up until last year E4/Channel4 had an awful lot of re-runs of Friends. (And an awful lot of Simpsons)
  15. He said in the video he's not looking to get it overturned (hell they did just save him having to manually hunt down the 'cancel sub' button) Also I'm with hot Heart (beyond the knowyourmeme.com probably being a good idea in this age), is people going "I am 12" the only way you guys have of telling the age of someone? For something that seemingly has such legal ramifications surely there would be something before signing up that should filter out the 13 year olds?
  16. Thumb, Index, Middle, Ring, Little.
  17. http://imgur.com/a/rEJ4q Long, but it fits rather well.
  18. I'm a poor gadget whore, so while if I was to find a tablet suddenly in my possession I would certainly make use of it, as it stands I'm a bit more practical in what I'd need and not need.
  19. Tablets fill a niche I have no need for. I've got my phone for extreme portability and apps n shit, my netbook for when I want to be portable and more productive than a phone allows and a desktop for everything else. A tablet would fill in the same space as a netbook, but with apps instead of programs, no keyboard and around the same price (if not frequently higher).
  20. The demo sold 5 million. It's consistently come out top, it'll have the long tail compared to Uncharted.
  21. I don't know, go hunt it down. Uncharted 2 did 4million too. Either way GT is most likely still out on top, especially as a franchise. Naughty Dog have pretty much only ever done three games in one franchise(minus the lack of "UnKarted"), then moved onto a new franchise the next gen. Of course with this gen being longer seems they're doing some filling in with Last of Us instead of a fourth Uncharted.
  22. 7.3million comapred to Uncharted 3's 4million. Gran Turismo is consistently the best selling Playstation franchise. (Metal Gear Solid has also done well for itself too on PS consoles). Thing is Gran Turismo is cars, and cars are popular. They're not really something that gaming sites are into, much as sport games don't tend to get much coverage either. Gran Turismo Prologue also has outsold the Uncharted games too, so it's not just the full release of GT5.
