  1. To clarify-

     

    1) id Tech 5 is being developed multiplatform because that is where the market dollars are. That much was stated at its unveiling.

     

    2) RAGE is announced for PC, PS3, and 360, although no one knows who is porting what.

     

    3) Doom 4 is announced for PC, Xbox 360- again no one knows who is porting what yet, but that will be announced at E3.

     

    4) The PS3 has 7/8 SPUs enabled. That is essentially 7/8 cores to program to. Given market share and what not, why the flock would you bother jumping through the hoops required to cater to that sh!t if you didn't need to? The PS3 Quake Wars debacle comes to mind straight away...

  2. Setup a static IP for the 360 in your router settings, and make sure you enter that same IP, subnet mask and gateway IP on the 360.

     

    Alternatively, if you have a router that supports DCHP or whatever you can leave it blank.

     

    However, always remember that Xbox Live needs certain ports opened to run. Chekc portforward.com for the details. Sorry I'm being vague but I'm halfdead. IO hope that makes sense.

  3. "In light of recent discussions about the Internet habits of the older generation, it's comforting to know that in North Carolina, up to 10,000 license plates containing the potentially offensive 3-letter WTF combination will be replaced by the Motor Vehicles division at no cost — if the owner of the vehicle finds the plates offensive. As reported on Winston-Salem's television station WXII, the MVD was alerted to the problem by an irate 60-year-old technology teacher who'd been clued in by her grandchildren. The article includes a helpful slide show of twenty Internet acronyms every parent should know. The article doesn't include any information on how you could actually apply for a WTF license plate."

    Glitch or Easter Egg? Look at the URLs, but consider that you cannot do this to access Warcraft 4 or Starcraft 3 General Discussion forums- it only works for Diablo. And not beyond Diablo VI either. Finally, the Diablo III, IV, V and VI forums have page titles and headings that use the Roman numerals- not the same Arabic ones in the URLs. This was obviously set up deliberately.

  5. Massive bump.

     

    The official Dissidia: Final Fantasy site has been updated to include story and character details. Not much of an update though- we knew most of this info a year ago. The site is also designed like ass... in other words terribly. Anyway, the official roster currently stands at;

     

    Final Fantasy I - Warrior of Light, Garland

    Final Fantasy II - Frioniel, Emperor

    Final Fantasy VIII - Squall, Ultimicia

    Final Fantasy IX - Zidane, Kuja

     

    However, official Dissidia art also exists depicting;

     

    Final Fantasy VI - Terra, Kefka

    Final Fantasy VII - Cloud, Sephiroth

    Final Fantasy X - Tidus, Jecht

  6. I've just been messing around with Sengoku Basara X thanks to the Koei Samurai Warriors games. I never followed the development of Basara X and so know none of the systems or anything like that. That said...

     

    I quite like it. I'm not the biggest Guilty Gear fan and I thrashed Hokuto no Ken last year when that came out. However Sengoku Basara X is different. Somehow. You don't feel so light, hits actually feel a bit more substantial than in those other games and overall it feels fun to play. I'm going to read up on the technics now, but so far I'm enjoying it. My one beef with the PS2 version is the the audio quality is terrible, and I'm talking worse than HnK terrible. It sounds like it was re-encoded at a low bitrate several times over...

     

    Anyway is anyone else playing around with this and what do you think?

  7. E3.net has Doom 4 listed as one of the games on show this year, except its platforms are listed as PC and Xbox 360 only... No PS3 love at id?

    Doom 4 has quite a legacy to live up to. Doom certainly wasn't the first successful FPS, but it is definitely one of the most influential. Follow-ups Doom II: Hell on Earth and Doom 3, as well as 3's expansion pack Resurrection of Evil, only continued to satisfy fan expectations. With id Software co-founder and Doom's architect John Carmack on board, the coming fourth adventure in the series will hopefully be the best one yet.

    I'm more excited about RAGE than Doom 4 but hey, it's all good, right?

  8. WTF. Wii-exclusive Castlevania fighter? You gotta be kidding me...

     

    I know you guys wouldn’t believe this unless I had proof. Reader Blissteria was nice enough to take some pictures from the latest issue of Nintendo Power. I am only going to post one, due to ‘fair use’. Also, I just wanted to make sure that you guys believed the news!
