Mattrick is running a tight ship, there are warnings of mandatory leg-breakings all around he Ents & Devices Division now. :grin: I think MS have a lot riding on GDC this year and they are doing everything they possibly can to ensure whatever they announce will be a big surprise...

Anyone else feel that the game in question might not be something that has been officially announced yet? Last I head Rare had 3 titles in development for 2008, perhaps they are dropping development one game to dedicated all their efforts onto two big first party titles for Holiday 08 (PD2 and...

Perhaps it was that I read then, I think it was something like 235mm2 -> 212mm2, or something like that. Still, to get that sort of power consumption reduction without a die shrink is pretty impressive work. Although as shifty_geezer pointed out, are Sony making any sort of savings with the...

If I remember correctly, isn't Cell at 65nm not that much smaller than Cell at 90nm? I know someone posted the die sizes on here and there wasn't a massive difference between the two. Maybe Sony haven't upgraded their fabs because the cost involved wouldn't be offset by the Perhaps Sony are...

I'm not sure how reliable these are, but a few weeks ago at a KOEI media event they put up a set of numbers for the major console in major territories. I'll copy and paste what I found; If you find any European data, that isn't sourced from fantasy-land VGChartz.com, then please share it ...

Sega owns the rights to Metropolis Street Racer. I hope Bizarre don't get sucked into trying compete with Need for Speed or Juiced on those sorts of levels. If in 2 years I see an advert for a Bizarre game with a bikini-clad model, with a smile as false as her boobs, draped over the bonnet of a...

Yeah, I'd like to see the Llama guys or Ben Heckendorn get their hands on one of the Halo 3 console to give it a good once over.

So, what about the CPU, does anyone believe that has had a shrink to 65nm? Given the power usage reduction in the Halo 3 360 it seems something has changed, surely losing a few resistors/capacitors on the motherboard isn't going to lower power useage that much...is it?

Looks somewhat smaller, and no epoxy around the edges either. Shame he didn't grab a better close up, could have read the code on the front. Might have meant something to someone I guess.

It scored 10/10 in the latest issue of OXM UK and was GotM. For comparison's, Halo 3 had to make do with a 9. Roll on October 12th.

I'd also like to know this. Can they not scale to say 1440x900 whilst still maintaing aspect ratio, thus keeping black bars top and bottom? IIRC the upscaling solution in the 360 is based on an early version of AVIVO, and I know my X1300 can do that job when playing games and movies.

What a rocking idea! I'm sure I saw a third party device that controlled how long the Playstation/Xbox could be on for, but to implement it in the firmware is a top idea. No more cries of "Let me just get to the end of the level....2 more minutes...just gotta beat the boss". Now, the machine...

Pretty optimistic of them really, I think a 10% reduction in sparks can cause flame wars these days :p Are Capcom targeting 60fp with DMC4? I might have read something on it before...or of course it could have been nothing.

The previews I have read have said that whilst the controls are a bit funky on the 360 (probably because gamers are used to DMC on a DualShock) the games are looking identical. If it is currently running better on the 360 it is because Capcom have already developed two games using MT...
