Are we sure that you'll have to repurchase things? You can't just tie it into your PSN account and get access to your PSOne Classics or whatever?

This. There's even an achievement for beating the game without ever firing a gun (outside of the tutorial). Just cause it's got a first-person viewpoint doesn't mean it's an FPS.

Nudge nudge.

I know, right? I mean, if it had been a 360 that would be one thing...

Malicious, a wired 360 pad is a very good investment. http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-Wired-Controller-Black/dp/B003ZSN600/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1297821908&sr=8-5

Thanks metal, that did actually clear it up for me somewhat (and Dean's right about what I was really trying to ask). Based on what metal posted, I imagine that the PS3 copy will come with a code that lets you tie your PSN account to your Steam account, or if anyone can do that then the code will be what lets you activate your PS3 copy of Portal 2 on Steam. Then probably anyone will be able to play the PS3 version of Portal 2 as long as they have the disc, but only people who've "activated" it with the code will be able to use the Steam features, whatever those might be (probably cross-platform coop, for one). This is all just my conjecture, though.

It's been a while since I watched it, but I think I was pleasantly surprised by how little combat there was in that trailer.

I would argue that the game is about speed, just not on your first run through. The game is about playing and learning the levels, then trying to get through them as quickly as you can. At times you're going to have to stop to find the right way, until you've learned the level, then you blaze through it.

Ah, I thought you were saying that was a real word...

... wtf?

I still need to figure out how the PS3/PC version thing works. Do I have to tie the PS3 version to my Steam account, or can I just take the PC version out of it then give the PS3 copy to a friend?

No I think he's upset that it was only showing him 2-3 total servers, period. The screenshot just shows it working after he restarted the game.

Former United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan argued, "[T]he Christian calendar no longer belongs exclusively to Christians. People of all faiths have taken to using it simply as a matter of convenience. There is so much interaction between people of different faiths and cultures - different civilizations, if you like - that some shared way of reckoning time is a necessity. And so the Christian Era has become the Common Era." Like Battra said, people here almost never say "fourteenth of February", we say "February fourteenth". 2/14

Stacking.

I thought that Escapist video said it really well when it told developers "The pirates already offer a better price, don't let them give better service too."

HAHAHAHAHA I'd completely forgotten we even have a phone section. Maybe we should give the two threads a merge?

How has no one bumped this yet? http://www.joystiq.com/2011/02/13/xperia-play-pre-loaded-with-legendary-ps1-game-will-launch-wi/ http://www.joystiq.com/2011/02/13/xperia-play-in-u-s-in-early-spring-on-verizon-first/ http://www.joystiq.com/2011/02/13/xperia-play-video/ http://www.joystiq.com/2011/02/13/xperia-play-battery-life-specs/ http://www.joystiq.com/2011/02/13/xperia-play-press-conference/ I for one am not at all interested in a PSP2/NGP, but I want this Xperia Play (though the name is retarded). Course I don't have a smartphone yet, so for me it's more of a definite upgrade than it would be for someone who already has a smartphone.

But as everyone knows that worked out flawlessly, so what's the problem?

I'm glad that even Uber is aware that the Hotshots pit girl is hotter than the Ice Men pit girl.

UDK?

Recall correctly.

Best idea ever, and a very good way to incorporate RockyRyan's idea in a way that makes sense in the game world. The apocalypse could be caused by some kind of virus or something that just makes people completely lose their minds.

Well obviously I don't RC, then.
