It's capable of 6 if they really want to push it (It'd be Move only though, upto a max of 3 with Navcons) I think most will hover around the 2 spot though, just out of space and H&S issues.

Oh yeah I'll play a game on anything. While I prefer PC I won't refuse to game on consoles because of it. As for multi-plats on PC, 99% of the time, but there's a few where it's not worth getting on PC for various reason like Assassins Creed (i.e shitty DRM and it taking like half a year from console to PC release)

I want to pick one up, I think over Summer. (which means also more games out with support, and more time to play them)

You have to admit it'd be pretty freaking cool. The person below me has bought all the COD titles

I'll admit I had to do a search cos I know of a 38-ish year old newspaper reporter known as Brian as well (I think most of us here do ) Turns out you're not an alt (also google threw up a comment about you talking about Planescape ) Welcome @excaliburps: Nah I didn't email him after. I kind of decided I didn't want to deal with him at all after I got wind of him stalking my facebook account. Also I have a feeling should I attempt to send an email to them it'll end up auto-filtered into Junk, since Twitter I get this for all but Tottilo: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2066351/Screenshots/owentwitter.JPG Also I guess crecente believing he's more correct than everyone else is a good way to describe it. I went up toe to toe with him regarding the 3DS (this was before release) I managed to highlight all the features it had just by looking at the FCC image (When you see enough electronics guts it starts to become easy to pick up on the basics) and pointed out it had a nub, SD card and the screen was much thinner than their mock up (I even pointed out why it made sense it would be 16:9 not their random ass aspect ratio). And he's all "Well you don't know this, but we have confirmed it". Thing is, I had a pretty damn good guess ( a 100% correct guess shown the next day) and he didn't have it confirmed cos it was still speculation. And they were fucking wrong too. Also on one of his "blood diamonds are making your console" articles(this was my tenure away) one of the guys I know on twitter pointed out that these warlords can't be flying about on Concords cos they've been disbanned since 2003, and quite publicly so(nothings more public than nose diving over Paris), thus throwing his whole articles factual quality into question, or at least making you question if it's actually to do with Wiis or more from the era of PS1 early PS2 and just dug up from the old grave of articles. Of course Crecente replied with his trademark snark.

Just to play devils advocate (maybe) on this one but it's entirely reasonable for them to expect a drop of sales on MW3. Not because there's a ton of fucking kick-ass games coming out the end of this year, but just cos Black Ops sold more than expected. Also it is a good practice to just deflate your shareholders expectations a little. That way if it does sell the same as MW2 (still a huge amount) instead of BO, then there's no angry outrage for them, you can point to Feb when you warned them. IF it comes out even higher, then you get to say how awesome you've been this year n such. Also I thought MW3 development was getting some external-studio help? Like Treyarch n Sledgehammer picking up some of the slack? As for comparison between the two, I couldn't get BO to run so can't say on it, but MW2 story was a fucking pile of shite.

Yeah Skirting Board along the bottom. Dado rail in the middle. then roof thingies (moldings?) up top.

From what I've read it's not dead, it's having a break. So seems they still intend to bring it back in the future. The fact sales nose dived harder that Gawker page hits the last two years probably should of warned them. Activision really do need to get a new business model other than "If Game X sales = 2million/year then produce Y copies of game/year". Just let their games breathe and instead don't make dozens of new studios for COD but make dozens of studios for dozens of other IPs. When making a game never expect it to go beyond a trilogy. It's a nice rule. Some games can break that, but don't fucking break that trilogy limit in the space of a year godammit.

You should re-check it Just noticed it's not the updated one. I hate that WP didn't over-write the images, just amended to -2 then -3. Kind of annoying.

Yeah I'm pretty sure there was a thing a while back on how Gamestop staff can fake those, just enter new stock in the system n voila. It'd be nice if it was that price mind. Also new years day? Seems very...default setting to me.

Yeah, Nintendo really suck on dropping prices. It's annoying cos I want to help bulk up my mums/sisters Wii Library but I can't pump out £35 a pop. I'd hoped with Galaxy 2 out that Galaxy 1 would eventually drop in price. No such luck.

Ahh battlefield. See if there was a number on that'd I'd of probably figured that one out. Crecente basically sucks are replying to folks. He tends to be a bit of a dickhead with response unless it's in response to you telling him he's gods gift to gamers and has awesome hair. There's some examples on the "fuck kotaku" thread (which that should tell you the answer to "can we be brutally honest".) As for rules and pimping BF stuff, you hit two birds in one stone. Aka as long as you ask you're free to pimp your stuff. Stick it in a Signature, in a Battlefield thread (if we have one yet, I'm unsure). Maybe hook up with Masterdex, he has a BF2 clan if memory serves.

A little bit The person below me has seen all the Pixar films

Family Feud = Family Fortunes The current version is "All-Stars Family Fortunes" which involves on-screen families or celeb families. Also not as much funny stuff if you search youtube for Family Fortunes. (but that's mostly do do with the recent revamp, the good stuff will of been in the days of VHS)

Heh I should of shared that the other day. I'll share this instead. We've been watching a few, this guy's pretty funny.

Yeah. The main problem is content is dictated by moi. So I'll probs go for more general stuff over game specific news. Anything that may or may not be interesting (can't promise it'll be great news) I'll just hit "share" on and pop it up there for folks. We can give a test run, scale it up or scale it down. As for commenting on each one, that won't be possible. You'd either need to grab the link n put it in a thread, or just go to the site n comment. I can use an RSS feed, but copying the entire articles across is a bit dodgy (an RSS feed has the "more" button which you can click to go to the source site). Eventually people might pick up on sites they like n what not and find they'll stick to reading that one alone or whatever. As for it's current look I'll see Rachel about getting a pale blue background put on it like the other articles. They started out with transparent, so I assume there's a setting somewhere. (which btw the Content button up top runs forum-user made articles n stuff. Folks are free to write stuff up n we can publish it to it's own article thing)

I'll agree on 3. I was on the beta from the get go and even after they massively overhauled it, it's still pretty fucking clunky. The UI overall needs a complete look at. (Also all the way from start of beta to release using the scroll wheel to scroll would make the menu music stutter). Admittedly when it first started off the amount of slots free (Which is still fucked up) used to say there was like 68 slots or 99 or whatever 2 digit numbers a computer can come up with. Which meant taking a while to find an open server. It's not as bad in release, but it's still not too great. I agree assassin's are messed up. Don't forget, Spies are pretty slow. Now a Spy/Scout combo... That's not too great. Assassins have relatively high HP compared to a Spy too. A spy fucks up a kill, it's as good as dead. An Assassin? Few swipes of their blade n whatever they're attacking is dead. The noise is noise, it would suck if there was people on who talked, but no one does, so it's better than the absolute silence that would be there otherwise. What does suck is there's only so many lines in it. It gets to the point where it's repeating within a single round. TF2 is mostly silent, but the players usually tend to be pretty chatty, and the catchphrases used I think each character (sans Pyro) has bout 50-60 each. My main complaint is the lack of maps. I don't mind too much that they're tidgy, but there's only 3 to play. And also as someone brought up earlier starting each round is quite the wait. Engine isn't much of a bother. Unreal runs, it works. Could it be prettier? Yes. Do most dev's know anything else? Rarely

Yeah Crecente isn't very good with the whole PR stuff so I basically stopped bothering with trying to contact him. You can tell they don't like this place when any mention of it get's you chucked in the cornfield As for what you're allowed to do as a new user it should of thrown up a bar on the top linking to the rules. If not: http://board.pressxordie.com/topic/2-forum-rules/ And yeah, I'm kinda the dude in charge though Talitron is the lass that runs this place (and owns it etc etc) Whats BF? As for being like Kotakuites one, this is the Kotakuites one. Tali offered the chance to upgrade to swankier abode, and since the last place was some crappy freeforums place we took the opportunity and moved up mid-December.

Hah! nope (Regarding editors). They seem to hate this place for some reason. ( astab in the dark suggest it's cos I'm running the place ) It's mostly folks from Kotaku. I think there's a few who aren't. As for getting lost I'll be out in a few minutes (woot, filming finally) when I'm back I should really look into a walk through guide.

Right this is just me fucking about (and I'm no technical whizz so it looks fugly for now) http://tay.gappoi.or...News/index.html Basically that's taking a feed from my Shared items on google reader. So I can hit "share" on an article, and it'll appear (eventually) on that page. It's only in test mode for now. edit: also it's in the order I share it not the order it hit that RSS feed. Which means because feeds are in reverse chronological order, I "shared" the most recent post first and that's ended up on the bottom. Future stuff shouldn't have that issue. Oh also that means no Daily Mail stuff as it'll only be things in my Google Reader feed.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2066351/Random%20Files/bundle-Game%20Blogs.xml Grab this file. It's an OPML file and contains a bunch of sites pre-subscribed to. Then follow these instructions to upload it to Google Reader: http://www.ehow.com/how_5308482_import-feeds-opml-google-reader.html (assuming you have a Gmail account) And then prune to your tastes (there's a box with a down arrow next to each feed, click it then choose "unsubscribe") As for linking particular threads of interest it'll generally happen on the various threads. What we're actually hoping to do in future is use that Content tab up top to include a RSS feed of a few select sites so folks can pop on n read odds n sods. Making a single thread for people to drop in articles won't completely work as it'll just end up a solid mush as folks discuss various topics n what not. Technically I guess I should of stuff that Bulletstrom Fox thing in the Bulletstorm thread. But I was more using it to showcase why RPS rock. So yeah I guess we can look a bit more into the RSS feed page thing. You'll find if there's a particularly interesting article it'll end up with it's own thread like the 11 year old thing.

Was about to come say is anyone else getting uk.gizmodo.com as well in place of Kotaku? The old layout back is nice, but I don't particularly want to read Gizmodo after they published that whole "you're all stupid retards WAAAHHHHH!!" rant thing. Also uk prefix is ....interesting. Certainly new. Nice that the workaround gets the old layout at least, shame it's front page stuff only and everything else is the broken horrible stuff. Best part is you can get to your old profile page, with all the nice tabs like "comments"/"Messages" and your website n Gamertag stuff.

Lol. You're one of the folks that only uses a single tab to browse? You didn't have to go back to the homepage on old layout. Just load the homepage up once n scroll down, middle clicking on any stories that caught your eye. Then work your way through them. You only had to go back to the homepage each n every time if you were some retard who had never heard of tabbed browsing (like Nick Denton) It's certainly sped from the "doesn't load at all" days of launch (where they promised vast speed increases). But that's like calling "healthy" just cos he's not dead.
