Lately TGS hasn't been much for announcements, it's usually so the general public can get their hands on games and systems that have already been announced (usually in Famitsu in the weeks leading up to it). It actually makes sense for Sony to have their own conference ahead of time so they...

It'll have larger matches soon, but it's probably going to max out in the 128 range. It's not going to have PlanetSide or EVE scale battles, unless it's a far future thing after they stop supporting the PS3 and they can abuse the PS4. The May 6 patch is supposed to be a big deal with the new...

Anybody know if they ever got around to fixing the incredible CPU speed issue on the Vita?

I made a suggestion to give users the ability to side-load documents, it still has no kudos. :(

I think if an Android user has to make a new account to buy from the PS Suite store, it's probably going to be a tough sell. The PS1 games are already there, as are a couple PSP games, so there's a bit of incentive. PS Suite games might wind up being more reliable than the Android versions...

Unless someone's ported ffmpeg to managed C# (without using a wrapper), all you'd have is the XBMC frontend with the ability to play mp3s. And if someone did port ffmpeg to purely managed C# code, PS Suite also lacks a low-level audio API, so I doubt it'd work very well. On the other hand...

Define "very old". My first Steam purchase was Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight (a relatively recent release on Steam, but an old game). It runs but crashes a lot, and the cutscenes display in a tiny window (and quickly lose a/v sync). I'm sure LucasArts did precisely nothing to update it. Most...

So about 42 seconds to fill up memory, assuming the data isn't fragmented at all.

Cutting-edge game developers still need to write assembly from time to time, from what I've heard. Have you ever written 32-bit x86 assembly? If they could disable integral parts of a modern AMD CPU, it'd be the 32-bit x86 legacy section. Also, although 32-bits give you 4 GB of memory...

It was mentioned a podcast with someone who authors blu-rays for a small studio complaining about how they all have to have the XML file that points to a server that may or may not exist, and there's no way to test it. I also remember reading a bunch of news stories about it too, back in the...

It would be nice if PlayMemories supported all the formats the PS3 does; I've got mjpeg in avi container videos from my camera that it doesn't recognize, but they play perfectly on the PS3.

I believe blu-rays are currently serialized thanks to managed copy; no hardware maker supports it but all blu-ray movie discs produced after 2009 (iirc) have to. And if they did writable discs, it'd be in an area normal drives can't read or write, and/or it'd be a material that could only be...

The magic is still in the charger; if it was just the cable, you could plug it into any USB charger and it would work. I notice he doesn't go into charging times since the Vita charger puts out at least twice the amps of a regular USB charger. The Vita might report that it's charging, but it...

Gofreak posted some new stuff on neogaf that he found. Kinda surprised it hasn't been posted here yet. ;) Includes the pdf of the slideshow from the presentation, with a couple features that haven't been mentioned yet.

Oh like I have anything even close to being ready to be shown. :p No fault of the SDK, just... not ready. Keep in mind I'm just one guy with no studio backing whatsoever; if I want art assets, I have to hit up royalty-free sites or draw it myself. Either way, it'll look terrible. And if I'm...
