They posted the story like 40 minutes ago (Also Tesco being a UK supermarket and most game sites being US based would mean it'll be a while for news to filter down)

Oh I was saying it was lame how Develop ran a story on "EA have the next xbox" then MS, EA n a few other sites all called it out as false, now develop are like "well..someone does...look see this job posting proves it"

Latin Alphabet? I don't know Japanese, what's the name of the game?

http://www.develop-online.net/news/37622/So-who-DOES-have-next-gen-Xbox Oh god this is pretty lame.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-05-09-cod-modern-warfare-3-date-report It's supposedly called "Call of Duty: Project Colossus"

That is for full restoration mind. Even the date they gave for it to be up by the other day was for "partial restoration of services" or whatever. So basic functions could start popping up.

Eagle Vision is a genetic skill you have as a direct descendant of the whatever they call themselves.

anyone seen priest? we're off to go see Thor tomorrow night, but they want to see Priest after. I'm seeign why they'd be into it, but not seeing much in it for myself.

You're far too trusting... *starts 20 downloads of the poster* *swaps it out for goatse*

So I take it no one actually wants a game that's off pure base abilities?

http://dl.dropbox.co...ages/poster.zip So I have a friend who supposedly I guess must know a friend. Portal 2 1970's poster in it's glorious 378megapixels. it's 50mb and that means if too many grab it it will destroy my dropbox, so only grab it if you intend to. Also one of the guys on steam knocked this up: (if the image doesn't show, it's a sign folks have raped my dropbox)

So that he can see the memories of his current self? As explained in the game the animus maps out stuff like missions, guard points, friendlies, objectives etc because it's pulling them from Ezio/Altairs memories. If you notice when out of the animus you lose quite a lot of the games functions. No glowing spires with a "go here" marker, blue safety points, or red dots n suspicion levels for guards. You have the physical abilities granted to as an assassin n that's it. As an example, when finding the power conduits in the estate you have to use Eagle Vision, but in the animus stuff like that would be highlighted, or glowing white, or something.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_downloadable_PlayStation_3_games#PlayStation_3_games They do have a decent selection. I'd say from that list, given it'll most likely be 1st/2nd party: MAG, MNR, InFamous, WipEout HD, LBP, Warhawk, GT5 Prologue. Warhawk, InFamous, GT5 n LBP make the most sense for them since they have sequels out or coming, so it's like a massive demo. It does help sell the idea to share holders more if you frame it that way.

btw the video game elements of AC are because of the animus, which means playing as Desmond gives you nothing but eagle vision. A game purely as Desmond would be either very little like AC, or require a bit of fudging to explain how he can bring up a map of the city within his own head.

As opposed to the comic book cutscenes most of it used. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8bj4AUly4I

They sell whole PS3 games on PS Store. So it can be PS3 titles.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLvx7lVwpzY Right quick question: all I know about Brink is what it looks like. Whats the story behind it? Whats it play like, it seems part of it is RPG like? Is it linear/openworld. is it like Crackdown? Whats the MP?

most folks in this thread: http://board.pressxordie.com/topic/43-doctor-who/ do.

correction: we're part of the same island Also the name is *gasp* United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It would probably just change to United Kingdom of England, Wales and Northern Ireland. England and Friends sounds good though. Not sure Wales n NI would be too happy.

srsly everytime I see this thread:

It starts to hit the law of diminishing returns though. (assuming I have the meaning behind the phrase correct) The amount of raw power the devs can use increases. But the staff and funding that the developers have stays about the same. Of course the tools improve with time too. For example this gen has seen adoption of Zbrush in the pipeline to allow use of million poly models, and it does speed things up in that dept. I'd imagine next gen will see things like Massive becoming a middleware solution for gaming too. (ninja edit: turns out it is used in games, Lost Oddyssey). Mixed with Euphoria or similar would make great things. That's the kind of thing next gen allows. Graphics will most likely improve. One of the Mass Effect videos someone posted the other week Bioware guy mentioned their original models were done in zbrush n way too high for what 7th gen could run. But I don't think graphics will be the main area where 8th gen will matter. It's the physics n AI that'll be the main parts improved. You'll be able to have much more in a scene too. 8th gen might even have grass (in more than games where it's a major element) edit: So it seems I missed a page somewhere

Both of us would still be brits. They're only seeking independence, not to actually crack the island in two. Britain is the name of the island upon which our nations exist. It's a geographical thing not political. It's just they wouldn't be part of the UK. Just england, wales n northern ireland. If they were to split it would give more political power to the english. It's something most of them forget. They all have their own parliament (maybe not Wales, is there a welsh parliament?), the english don't. We share with the UK parliament.

Rather enjoyable episode. Nothing too scary, nothing much in revelations. Your average 3rd episode of doctor who. And now for next weeks teaser. The Neil Gaiman one. Ood!!
