Yeah now we've seen more proper gameplay I'm officially psyched. I was reading about it in a magazine earlier too and it's much more of a psychological horror thriller than I was expecting — comparisons to Resident Evil and Silent Hill were frequently being drawn. For some reason I always had it in my head as a Max Payne-esque action game.

Some of the stuff they were describing to make you jump sounds awesome though, and interestingly the camera isn't player-controlled but is instead tactically used to make your shit yourself.

I think Remedy is basically a Valve doppelganger when it comes to taking ages to make their games but them being amazing when released. I remember Max Payne was being hyped for ages before it eventually came out, though that's long forgotten.

Man that video has turned me on. Good to see Max Payne's dynamic difficulty has survived too.

Pretty cool how it continued the hair, though.

LMAO!

The new suit seems good to me. I personally found it a pain in the ass constantly toggling between modes and hoped they'd find a way of making it more graceful without losing the pros/cons aspect of having to choose between brain and brawn.

I used Adobe software on Macs for like three years and in all honesty I noticed no performance difference at all between that and my similarly specced PC. In fact, everything I used on a Mac was pretty much the same both in speed and function. It's like comparing an apple to an orange: you eat them differently but they're both sweet and quite good for you.

However it's so much cheaper to build a PC that can demolish a similarly priced Mac it's pretty much a no-brainer to go with Windows, especially with GPUs becoming increasingly significant for stuff like Photoshop.

Wow, not just the president — it looks like a number of key government figures were in the plane too. Not good for a country.

Haha, what gave it away?

Try one of these:

Yeah a bit OTT reaction, do you know them or something?

It's no different to when people post game screenshots and even if most of it does look awesome, of course people will mention the things that are lacking. It's the nature of designers and artists.

I think Australia kind of has the lead there.

Colour correction isn't really that hard to do if you've got an eye for it, it may be an amateur film but that's no reason to hold back constructive criticism — it would make a huge difference, practically nothing in the film industry isn't colour corrected nowadays.

I dunno about worms but eating snow doesn't seem like a great plan. There could be anything in there, bugs, bird shit, etc...

This sounds so mental I can barely believe it'd actually happen, especially when government-backed corporations like the BBC have been aggressively pushing high-bandwidth services like streamed TV during the past year or so. It's going to affect so many legitimate uses it's unreal, to the point where it'd just cripple internet use in the country.

Remains a truly sad loss, muchos respects.

Man can't wait. Definitely my favourite superhero movie alongside the new Batmans.

They need something for Portal 3, man!

... yes, you are.

It's April Fools', FOO'.

You should make one of those gravel drives for your car, except use glass instead of gravel.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention I finished this last week. While I'm all too aware of the fact it is exceedingly linear (apart from the multiple paths obviously), I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed every single moment of playing the game — and I can't say that about too many games. It's pretty easy to spot how certain actions basically toggle certain scenes in the game, but it does give a weird feeling of control.

I dunno, I wouldn't want many games like this but it's nice to have one every few years (Quantic Dream's Fahrenheit being the last example obviously). I'd definitely like to see a third.
