    PS3 firmwares 2.0 and 2.10

    The F@H stat page always crashes my PS3. So do some of the Mega****** sites that are around. Java or Flash, it doesn't seem to like it anymore. I used my PS3 and PSP as my only web access for a full month, and had no problems. As soon as 2.10 came out, the browser is almost unusable for me...

    The GT5 expectation thread (including preview titles)*

    I'm gonna guess not. I'm not sure we even get to see a full lap of Fuji before it ends up cutting off. PEACE.

    Why do GT games look so freakin good?

    GT5P has twice the number of cars at twice the resolution. The gauntlet has been thrown down. I don't know how it can be argued that the game is not a technical marvel. If PD is making compromises, then wtf is the competition doing? I've proposed this before, and GT5 was actually the first...

    Rockstar's next franchise to be PS3 exclusive

    That's what I thought it was. RDR2? PEACE.

    The GT5 expectation thread (including preview titles)*

    Have you factored in engine-braking into the equation, MintMaster? Stuff like engine braking, brake fade/glaze and road incline also play roles in stopping. We should also factor in that unspring weight, the heavy rollers that while adding cornering stability also add rotational inertia that...

    Phil Harrison's GDC keynote - Home, LittleBigPlanet & more

    Is it ok to speculate about Afrika being an offshoot of Home? I said it last week in passing, but after reading a thread elsewhere recently, I think it's something to consider. Sony's been quite coy about Afrika and I'm getting the feeling that it's a virtual safari that's another destination...

    GT 5 Prologue this fall, Gran Turismo 5 spring 2008

    It will not be free. That much I can assure you. They charged for Prologue last time, and I think their priority is recouping the dev costs as quickly as possible. That and they know they have a set number of gluttons out there who will buy both copies, thus doubling sales. Yeah...prepare to...

    Warhawk - Single player dropped

    A lot of us hate the lack of SP, but let's be real. As much as they tried to soften the blow, the dev in that IGN vid pretty much summed it up as the SP was gonna suck, so we scrapped it. If going MP only makes the difference between a good, castrated game and a horrible, full game, then give...

    LAIR Thread - * Rules: post #469

    You can predict 90% of the responses in a thread without having to read it. Just look at the username and ablib away. I think it looks nice, but also agree with comments about the lighting. But then again, I see no point in passing judgement before it's done. Let's not forget, that most of...

    Trailer from Naughty Dog

    Worlds apart? I'm not the hyperbole police, but looking at macabre's comparison pic, is that really worlds apart? This is the point I was trying to make before. If you want to take the best elements from all the images snapped from the original trailer, and apply them to the one 3D shot, then...

    Trailer from Naughty Dog

    He's standing in water. I don't expect there to be much foliage around him. What's by the water's edge is sparse, but is that actually indicative of an overall change in stage design? Things certainly don't look unique in that picture either, as I see some repetition. The leaves in the...

    Trailer from Naughty Dog

    You surmized this from one frame of animation? How do you know about the quality of AF when the camera only rotates around one axis? Isn't AF needed to filter textures at different angles to the camera? And what have we seen of the vegetation? Do you mean the little shrubs to his left that...

    Trailer from Naughty Dog

    I thought you worked in cg. Maybe you could specifically highlight the differences. You noted the specularity of the skin, but then isn't that seriously being effected by the intensity and proximity of the muzzle flash? That's like an order of magnitude brighter than the ambient lighting in...

    PS3 game sizes

    A director can edit Kill Bill down to 90 minutes, but then it wouldn't be Kill Bill, now would it? By your numbers, game assets alone are already banging on the 360's disc capacity. It's not an issue for the PS3, obviously, so that's why I mentioned it. If you took out the audio and fmv and...
