Oh, I know it was Take Two, but it was Rockstar who said that bit about "continuing to support the creative community". Plus, they are the developers of GTA, so a modding tool would probably also be developed by them, not Take Two. Whatever the case, they'll be shooting themselves in the...

It would be a shame for Rockstar and Take Two if someone would post OpenIV to a torrent site like the pirate bay or something like that... Oh, wait, they totally did it already. Like, on the very same day this news came to light. And what's more, people like me, who had never been interested...

"We are working to figure out how we can continue to support the creative community[...]" That, for me, explains everything. I'll bet we can expect a modding tool from Rockstar or Take Two in the near future, and that's the real reason why they preemptively shut down the competititon. And...

Wait, there's been a trailer out for two weeks? So what are they making so much suspense about, with the countdown and all? Unless there's something I'm not seeing here, this is just stupid. EDIT: Oh, I see. Youtube f*cked up the date, the trailer has only been up for a few hours. I should...

Well, call me a cynical, elitistic (is that a word?) bastard, but that bit about the console versions worries me a lot. The game will probably be developed with consoles in mind first and foremost, as is the norm nowadays, and as a result the PC port will be much, much less than it could be...

See, the fallacy in the last paragraph of the article is pitifully obvious: when a game lies to me that I'm a pirate, a ninja or Commander Shepard, I know from the start it's lying; I'm not stupid, you see. I know I'm not Commander Shepard, so if I don't like who Commander Shepard is, I can stop...

Mine has to be beating Super C without any kind of cheat and using only one credit. That was only recently, I had never done that in the NES days. I'm still working on doing it without dying, though... Also, beating Sunset Riders on one credit and Black Tiger (hardest setting) on one life...

The beginning of the game is very good at building tension, then it gets scary, then it gets VERY scary in the prison area. It's all downhill from there, at least as far as fear goes. I think that's because you get used to it by then; the "horror" is always the same, something chasing you in...

Don't know if this was mentioned or not, but I remember coming out of the theater after The Blair Witch Project, and my friend commenting how that was stupid, them keeping their cameras rolling all the time like that. First of all, the definition of "all the time" was a matter of perspective...

I'm too lazy to read all the posts to see if this has already been said, but here's my two cents: The main difference between fantasy and sci-fi is magic. If everything in the story can be explained using the natural laws of Physics, Chemistry, or any other scientific field really, then it's...

Max Payne 3 at around 27 giga. Damn those huge Rockstar games!

I am kind of a linguistics savant, and it just ticks me off how people often seem to think there's a "right" way of speaking and a "wrong" way, and that it's possible to hold language in stasis indefinitely by way of "grammar". Whereas grammar is merely a pond of stagnant water formed in a curve...

The first one that comes to mind is Veil of Darkness. I don't know how well-known or obscure it was, so I'm assuming you haven't heard of it. It a nice isometric RPG-adventure hybrid set in Romania in the 30s. As you can imagine, the plot revolves around killing a vampire lord who rules the...

Wow, two pages and no love for Castlevania: Symphony of the Night? Or is that so obvious it didn't even warrant mention? Also, Beyond Good & Evil: Of course, being and old school gamer, I love me some chiptunes and MIDI. One of the first game soundtracks I actually paid attention...

That kind of thinking right there is one of the main reasons I miss the Atari days... OT, since I'm a PC player (and the only DMC I played was 4, which was a usual Capcom port, i.e., a piece of garbage on PC), I don't care that much, I won't play the game anyway. But 30 fps is usually alright...
