Can't say that I am surprised. After what they did to Shadowrun I can't say I am too sad about it either. That really shows the direction this studio was going in. While Mech Assault was a fun game, it wasn't nearly as good as the Mechwarrior series. I blame on their management and whoever else...

Good, we both agree, because I never said such a thing, nor implied it. So you agree with what I said, as I only said the former was scandalous. I never claimed Epic would be wrong for using licensing fees to fund the development of Gears. In fact it seems complimentary that they would do...

Included in the contract would have been a clause specifying the kind of support Epic was to offer. In fact, just by reading the .pdf we know such a clause exists because there is some debate between Epic and SK as to what qualifies as engine specific and game specific for support. If Epic used...

I think SK is going to have a lot of problem proving the intent statute part of the malicious business practices. They for sure might be able to prove harm was done by Epic but proving they intended to do harm is entirely different. A lot of this could just be relegated to negligence and...

Just because a company has deep pockets doesn't mean every single project under them does. Even the X360 has a budget and they aren't going to throw more money into it then they think it is worth. Especially since doing such a thing would be seen as irresponsible and screw their stock and the...

Caffeine is a stimulant which can accelerate beta waves in the brain. I would suggest tea though, because it not only accelerates beta, but alpha as well due to L-theanine. Did I also mention tea has a far superior taste and quality? Well, I just did, so there.

It really all depends on what mythos this is coming from.

I would say I disagree with comments suggesting there will be something like Killzone CG level graphics THIS gen. Next gen is in 3-4 years. I would have to agree with that most certainly. I believe that once DirectX 10 matures or if DirectX 11 is around by then, we will see close to those level...

With as good as compression has gotten over the years I just don't understand why uncompressed data is even needed anymore. Even audiophiles compress their audio files with lossless formats like monkey audio and flac. I have yet to hear any difference between an original recording and a...

Is there any reason there are black outlines around everything, most noticeably the character models. I agree it looks nice for an "open ended" game, but they could really this the black around everything. One more thing, I am not the biggest fan of some of those textures either. Crackdown...

I don't really care about Force Feedback too much at all. I don't think it really adds anything to the experience and when I have used a controller with force feedback it sorta becomes something like "white noise". I eventually completely tune it out during gameplay. It's one of those things...

Surprisingly enough, I don't know if people remember this, Conkers actually went on tour with Playboy. If I remember correctly, it was some contest where you could win prizes. They went to bars around the U.S. and maybe elsewhere. The contest had you play the gametype where you were the...

Not only was there Goldeneye, but there was also Jet Force Gemini, Perfect Dark(the real one, not the 360 version), and Conkers Bad Fur Day. Conkers actually started out as some really kiddy game called Conkers Quest. You might remember Conker from Diddy Kong Racing, which in it's own right was...

That is great news about the psychological aspect. I really liked Silent Hill 2 the most out of all the series though 3 was great as well. The first one was ok, but was really limited by where the game industry was at that time and it was rather restricted by the hardware out at the time. I hope...

Love to me is said very well in Yours, Mine, and Ours by the character Frank Beardsley when he says, "It's giving life that counts. Until you're ready for it, all the rest is just a big fraud. All the crazy haircuts in the world won't keep it turning. Life isn't a love in, it's the dishes and...
