First Screenshots from Shattered Horizon's "Moonrise" Content Pack
Feb 08, 2010 - 1:31 PM - by RAY16
Announced back in November of 2009, the first screenshots of Shattered Horizon's upcoming free content pack dubbed "Moonrise" has had its first batch of screenshots released. There is currently no set date for the pack, but one would assume from the state of the screenshots that it's not too far off.

In addition to this free content pack, Futuremark is also working on a patch containing general fixes and tweaks as well as adding much-needed voice chat support to the game. This patch is supposed to come before the Moonrise pack, I believe.

iPad, not what everyone was hoping for.
Jan 27, 2010 - 3:12 PM - by Uber_Tiny
At first glance it really does look like a nice device, but when listening to Steve Jobs blab on about how there iPad was an ingenious product and he named off the reasons why, I had a look of "are you serious?". Of course all the Apple enthusiasts were jaw dropped and drooling. All I could do was shake my head in disbelief that so many people follow this company like a religion.

Jobs opened up the introduction about the tablet-like device by talking about this product fitting in between a smart phone and a Notebook/Laptop, "way better than a laptop, way better than a phone. It's the best web experience you've ever had" Jobs said. Okay, I can understand that it's a new device and it may be good for it's application at hand. He went on saying, "In order to create that category, they have to be far better at doing some key tasks... better than the laptop, better than the smartphone." Now that really does sound appealing. However, my skepticism on this is teetering on what else Jobs will say.

Jobs then brought out the iPad (without wings mind you...) and the interface is pretty much a mix between Mac OS X and iPhone OS. It came with the incredible ability to surf the internet as well they also included applications that give users access to iTunes media, including HD video content, calendars, photos, contacts, and more, oh my! Of course without a keyboard you have the on board QWERTY keyboard, that seemed to work very well during the demonstration. The iPad works great with iPhone apps without any modifications and the app will either be centered on the screen or allow full screen, oooooh.

It may be an interesting product, but it's not like what Jobs says it is. He goes on about how the iPad... [Read More]

Aliens vs. Predator Classic 2000 Patched; Game Title Still Incredibly Redundant
Jan 19, 2010 - 3:17 PM - by RAY16
Rebellion's recently re-released Aliens vs Predator has been patched to add in proper widescreen support, an option for unlimited saves and fixes for mouse sensitivity/accuracy among other things.

News Quote:

Updates to Aliens vs. Predator Classic 2000 have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The major changes include:

Aliens vs. Predator Classic 2000:
  • Proper widescreen support. Previously the game allowed non-4:3 video modes (e.g. 1920x1080) but just rendered a stretched 4:3 image. Now the game renders at the correct aspect ratio (e.g. 5:4, 16:9, 16:10), with the vertical field-of-view remaining fixed and the horizontal field-of-view changing accordingly. (i.e. 16:9 modes now render more to the sides than a 4:3 mode).
  • By popular demand, added an -unlimitedsaves command line option. By launching the game with -unlimitedsaves in the command line, players can now save as many times as they like, rather than being restricted to a set number of saves per level. To set your command line options, please right-click on the game in Steam My games browser and select Properties and then Set Launch Options. Alternatively you can edit the command line options directly if you are using a shortcut to the game exe.
  • Replaced timer code with a new high-resolution

NVIDIA's GF100 DX11 GPU
Jan 17, 2010 - 10:37 PM - by Uber_Tiny
While we are still waiting for information to come forth on the facts behind the Fermi, some sites that were able to see the card in action have been posting up some very interesting things.

Here is a bit of what Anandtech had to say:
Quote:
There’s only so much we can say about NVIDIA’s new architecture without having the hardware on-hand for testing. NVIDIA certainly built a GPU compute monster in GF100, and based on what we now know about its graphics abilities, it looks like it’s an equally capable GPU gaming monster.

But the big question is just how much of a monster will it be, and what kind of monster price tag will it come with? Let’s make no mistake, at 3 billion transistors GF100 is going to be big, and from NVIDIA’s hints it’s probably going to be the single hottest single-GPU card we’ve seen yet. Barring any glaring flaws NVIDIA has what looks to be a solid design, but at the end of the day it almost always boils down to “how fast?” and “how much?”

NVIDIA has taken a big risk on GF100, first with its compute abilities for GPGPU use, then on its geometry abilities for gaming, and now the risk is time. Being 6 months late has hurt NVIDIA, and being 6 months late has hurt consumers through uncompetitive pricing from AMD. By no means is the situation dire, but we can quickly come up with some scenarios where it is if NVIDIA can’t convincingly beat AMD in gaming performance.

EA shuts down 25 game servers, including Madden 09
Jan 07, 2010 - 11:47 AM - by Uber_Tiny
Electronic Arts is continuing to cut costs in severe ways. This time, the company is shutting down a number of servers for games both old and new. The most surprising title affected is last year's Madden 09.

News Quote:
EA's financial problems from last year, it seems, are continuing to have repercussions. Even after cutting 1,500 employees in November, the publisher is still looking to reduce operating costs. As a result, the company is killing off a number of game servers on three separate dates in the coming months.

February 2 will see the largest number of game servers shut down, followed by a few more on February 9. While many of these games are a few years old and on older systems (such as FIFA 07 for PC), some of the games on the list are shockingly recent. The most surprising shutdown revelation is Madden 09 on all platforms, which will occur on April 6. Of course, no plans have been announced to turn off servers for Madden 10, but fans have got to be wondering if they're only going to be able to play that game's online mode for roughly a year before it, too, is shut down.

It makes sense to shut down many of these servers, since they cater to what are most likely a small number of gamers at a significant expense to EA. However, the shutdown of servers for titles like Madden 09 and NASCAR 09 seems like a heavy-handed attempt to force players to pick up newer entries for these series. It's a shame that EA is having such problems that it is forced to such drastic measures, but it's even more of a shame
