More like hexakaidecatris the grand master 4.
The mo~e objects still aren't half as distracting as Sega Tetris' Beijing stage with the hundreds of bicycles zooming past at mach 1.7. |

Yeah it was LOUD. It's pretty ridiculous how many FPS have shitty realistic stapler gun sound effects, actually. Didn't any of these people play Goldeneye?
Even Halo with its trillion dollar budget has that crummy stock sound effect for its assault rifle that sounds like someone drumming on a basketball. |

seems like it. that scene only uses a handful of textures along with a grayscale lightmap so it shouldn't take as long to load as you might fear.
i guess they're just trying to show off the engine/graphix but that was a pretty hilariously blah trailer. |
It looks like MGS2. I kind of like the style.
Can't seem to work up a froth for the rest of it though. |

This phrasing

| they have entered into an exclusive 10-year partnership to bring Bungie’s next big action game universe to market. Under the terms of the agreement, Activision will have exclusive, worldwide rights to publish and distribute all future Bungie games based on the new intellectual property on multiple platforms and devices. |
sounds like they're doing some MMORPG (MMOAXXION) thing?
And that plus any spinoffs will be exclusively published by Activision. Which is still significantly more involved with Activision than I'd want my studio to be but there's nothing stopping them from developing other stuff for other publishers. |

I had to hit wikipedia to find out whether it wasn't an actual Fallout spinoff before making fun of the way it looks. Because god damn. |

Anticipating Obsidian games 101:
20: Do Obsidian have anything to do with the engine?
If Y GOTO DONOTWANT
If N GOTO 40
40: Is Bioware going to notice how retarded it makes their internal team's plot and writing look causing them to order immediate release of a half-done game?
If Y GOTO ENJOYWHATPARTSOFKOTOR2MADEITOUTTHEDOOR
If N FROTH!
New Vegas: FROTH. Dungeon Siege 3: DO NOT WANT
But in frothing remain aware they're going to start the game in a boring place you'll be stuck in for the first four hours because that's how they roll. |

| Why would you froth for New Vegas? |
Because I love me some first person RPG inventory-em-ups and the only flaw in Fallout 3 mods couldn't fix was the generally fanfic-ish level of writing. Obsidian on the other hand are capable of at least a Wheel-of-Time-ish embarrassing fantasy novel level of writing. That and the fact they're pretty much the closest thing to Black Isle we have left are sufficient to invoke the froth.
I was fact checking the wiki on Obsidian to be sure Troika wasn't actually 90% of Black Isle and found out they are actually doing a fucking Wheel of Time game. Obsidian, not Troika. As a reformed Wheel of Time fan I'm not sure what to think of this |

I remember hating the other one back when I was all up on that shit, mainly because this was like 2003 and the game was looking ancient and ridiculous by then.
EDIT: Mortal Kombat looks terrible in the best possible way.

I love how it's called Kinectimals but includes nothing but cats. Fuck the rest of the animal kingdom!

I love how the 360's guide button menu is completely unstoppable by anything short of a complete system crash, letting you read achievement descriptions for Sega all-star Racing during SERIOUS UNSKIPPABLE CUTSCENE TIME. |

What was the last Ace Combat with blue skies, didn't the series leave the arcades behind with the 2nd installment?
|
It's more of a blue-skies in spirit thing. Ace Combat was about dancing with the angels, not murdering folks.
Even if the stories gradually got more 'WAR IS HELL MMKAAY?' they were all told in such a ridiculously melodramatic way that it never really connected with me that there were people in these hundreds of fighter jets I was swatting out of the sky. |

| I actually haven't played any of the Ace Combat games yet, what would be a good place to start? |
I've played neither of the original really blue skies arcadey ones but 3 is pretty amazing. The Japanese version had a ton of anime cutscenes and cute characters and all that, all of which was cut for the EU/US, but all of the missions carried over intact. So you get this totally serious army dude voice-over briefing you to fly into the internet and have a dogfight with a rogue AI. And at one point you fly an arctic-white SR-71 rigged as an attack bomber.
All the PS2 ones kind of run together to be honest, I can see where they're coming from in wanting to change things up with this new AC even if I disagree with the direction they seem to have picked. They're still all really good though.
The 360 one is prettiest but has a bullshit final level even considering how bullshit final levels are something of an Ace Combat hallmark. |

The last level of Ace Combat 6 was the one where you fly down the barely F15-sized urethra barrel of a laser cannon only there are goddamn Starfox-ish partitions in there and son of a bitch I'm piloting something that needs to stay above 600kph to avoid dropping like a brick here AAARGH. And then when you fail you have to do the six minute approach flight again.
It's entirely possible that I just suck at Acing the Combats but no other part of the game or of any of its predecessors for that matter has ever given me anywhere close to this much trouble. |

I never had any issue flying down that gun barrel.
Also, six minutes? Did you have checkpoints turned off or something?
The finale in Ace Combat 5 was more problematic. |
There's supposed to be checkpoints? I just got dumped back to the start of the mission every time.
EDIT: weird, guides are saying there should be two checkpoints between mission start and the point where you go into the gun. |

I always assumed modern region-locking happened when a publisher has no plans/ability to do a worldwide release so they buy cheaper local publishing rights but agree to region lock them so the developer can still sell another region's rights to some other publisher. |

Yeah but its useful life as a serious gaming machine will be three years at maximum. 2005's greatest GPU wouldn't even be that terrible today (a 7900 or X1800XT) but man you'd have a Pentium goddamn four in there or an Athlon 64x2 3200 if you were really lucky. Either of those would get its ass kicked by the original Left 4 Dead.
Edit: personally even though I'm current hardware-wise I don't enjoy gaming behind a desk much. It feels like work. I've got my TV hooked up but most games are super-awkward about joypads so all I end up doing is watching videos and playing MAME via a stick-controlled frontend. |
