  • The Oddbox

    Quote

    So yes, we will be seeing more from Oddworld. Regarding the library, we are in the process of converting Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee and Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath to the PC, so that all four of the major Oddworld games will be re-releasing this winter in a package called "The Oddbox." This will be the Abe games, Munch, and Stranger as one package for Steam's digital distribution network, as well as a few other digital distribution outlets.

  • Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Teaser

    A download isn't necessarily a loss of a sale. If a game is out earlier on torrent sites then in stores people who plan to buy it will get it, but still buy it when it's released. Isn't MP the best anti piracy measure?

    Does anyone have experience with cracked servers of wow, cod, bf etc... From what I've read they suck. The second best measure is good support and reasonable behavior. Piracy has put consumers in a much more powerful position where purchasing decisions are often not based on the need to play that game as you can do that for free but rather the will to support a company, and you don't have much will to support companies that behave bad towards you.

  • Unearthly Challenge 2009 is finally up!

    Quote from Pericolos0

    I like the theme, alot of ideas flying around in my head for it =). I'm going to do some 2d entries this year, it's a nice opportunity to finally make something more than the usual speedpainting.

    Why don't the entries in these contests ever get released? For example I remember looking forward to that cool looking UE3 map you made or that alien scene HP did in the cryengine, for that matter I would love to walk around all the scenes from the game artists contest.

    Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising has achieved the singular feat of being a military simulator that's actually fun to play on more than just a "Look how much stuff is here!" way. Codemasters have remembered that the most important thing for a game to be is fun. At the end of the day, if your CO disintegrates for no reason and you can't proceed with the mission, it doesn't matter how accurate the spark plugs are on the vehicle you're driving, you'll get fed up and sack it off.

    It's like MW2 with vehicles and destructive environments.

  • The Way it's not Meant to be Played

    Ian McNaughton goes out against The Way it's Meant to be Played

    Nvidia responds to Batman:AA

    Quote

    NVIDIA statement on Batman AAA representative of AMD recently claimed that NVIDIA interfered with anti-aliasing (AA) support for Batman: Arkham Asylum on AMD cards. They also claimed that NVIDIA’s The Way It’s Meant to be Played Program prevents AMD from working with developers for those games.

    Both of these claims are NOT true. Batman is based on Unreal Engine 3, which does not natively support anti-aliasing. We worked closely with Eidos to add AA and QA the feature on GeForce. Nothing prevented AMD from doing the same thing.

    Games in The Way It’s Meant to be Played are not exclusive to NVIDIA. AMD can also contact developers and work with them.

    We are proud of the work we do in The Way It’s Meant to be Played. We work hard to deliver kickass, game-changing features in PC games like PhysX, AA, and 3D Vision for games like Batman. If AMD wants to deliver innovation for PC games then we encourage them to roll up their sleeves and do the same.

    Rocksteady response on Batmans AA problem:

    Quote

    The form of anti-aliasing implemented in Batman: Arkham Asylum uses features specific to NVIDIA cards. However, we are aware some users have managed to hack AA into the demo on ATI cards. We are speaking with ATI/AMD now to make sure it’s easier to enable some form of AA in the final game.

    The Basic murderbox PC's are 6k according to their site.

    Quote

    Question: How much does a murderbox cost?Every murderbox is executed to perfection – it really comes down to the choice of components and the amount of custom work involved. A well appointed murderbox with a single LC loop, GPU and a few drives typically comes in around the $6k mark while a build with considerable custom work and exotic hardware can run in excess of two to three times that.

    If you're retardedly rich, like if you work for IW you might as well got one of these
