True; modern gamers are getting all their simplistic gameplay design, dated visuals, and repetitive play from Call of Duty these days :twisted:

Perhaps if they had released Wipeout HD as a £40 retail release rather than a £11 PSN download they might have looked more profitable? :twisted: I guess that was Sony's call, wanting to prove to consumers that there was quality available on PSN while also proving to publishers that PSN was a...

Also regarding my concerns about the Wall Brawl trophy, Paul Rustchynsky (@Rushy33), game director of MotorStorm RC tweeted me to say if you get a friend to send you a time as a challenge, you can beat it repeatedly to unlock the trophy.

That does sound cool. Thanks, I'll go and check my pitwall now...

I've also been playing this quite a bit on Vita and challenging Arwin's times. I don't think I have many more of you on PSN so feel free to add me: catisfit. I really like the game, my only issue with it is the Wall Brawl trophy - you have to beat 10 times through the Pitwall (i.e. PSN times...

I don't think it really matters how many 3DTVs there are out there in 201x when the next consoles launch. It would probably be more difficult to make the consoles have no 3D support given the hardware standards, and it doesn't segregate the userbase - developers don't need to make 2D and 3D...

That's definitely how it works with F1 - FOM release exclusive rights to make a Formula One videogame (unfortunately sitting with Codemasters), but the teams and circuits can negotiate individual rights (e.g. Williams F1 car about to be released in iRacing). I'm sure the NASCAR deal was done...

This sounds like he's saying a highly probability based, branch heavy piece of code is better suited to GPU than general purpose CPU?

After GRID set a new low for Codies physics, I decided that all future Codies games would definitely be try before I buy, and there's no F1 demo so no potential sale here. Which is a shame for me as a F1 loving sim racer, but GRID was so shocking to me on that front I'm not risking it. On top of...

That track map shows an alternate route for Eiger Nordwand - straight on at the first hairpin and rejoining at the third.

To be fair, £4.99 in 2002 is the equivalent of £5.68 today, UK inflation adjusted.

My concern with these systems is always what happens when they go out of their baseline operating parameters (i.e. sub 30fps). Credit where credit is due, he does seem to have examined this: This sounds like if the framerate dropped to 25fps the effective result of the algorithm would be...

It's not so much the actual comparison as the negative press I was drawing attention to. The advert in question was bookended by Xbox logos and made no mention of the PS3. It has been Microsoft's policy to pay for crossplatform games to be advertised with just the Xbox logos, to suggest they are...

http://www.metro.co.uk/tech/838359-ps3-sharper-than-xbox-rules-advertising-watchdog One small mistake in their policy of advertising crossplatform games "as exclusive", but not good news for Microsoft having headlines like the one above in today's UK papers. Ironic that it's usually the...

Exactly. As gamers it's best that there is healthy competition which keeps all manufacturers pushing to introduce new features and improving their wares for all of us. I'd argue it was Nintendo that was really close to losing - launching inferior tech with an untried control method that really...
