How to kill a Skyrim dragon with a single arrow
Feb 6th 2012 12:41PM (Joystiq)I Am Alive screens and trailer fight for survival
Jan 25th 2012 4:47PM (Joystiq)You never asked for this Darkness 2 launch trailer
Jan 25th 2012 4:43PM (Joystiq)Grand Theft Auto 3 and GTA: Vice City rated by ESRB for PS3
Jan 23rd 2012 1:50PM (Joystiq)So depressed that Zipper had that abortion of a Socom game come out. I thought for sure they would get back to the winning equation.
Take a look at the gorgeous and gory roster of Soulcalibur V
Jan 19th 2012 2:21PM (Joystiq)- costumes have gotten past silly
- too many characters that all do the same shit
- controls got too complicated
- Star Wars crossover (last version), c'mon, so cheesy
The only reason I bought the last version was to have a SC game for PS3. There is NO reason to buy this version to replace the last one.
In fact, I still say the original PS1 version was the best. Yeah, graphics have been improved with each version, but game play suffered from each version too.
EA claims First Amendment protections against expected helicopter lawsuit
Jan 13th 2012 12:05PM (Joystiq)BULLSHIT. Bell shouldn't care, and they will loose bigtime.
The helicopters are military use.
1) Bell doesn't make ANY money from their image, and thus cannot show any loss or damages.
2) EA isn't making money specifically off the likeness of the craft, and thus is not creating damages.
3) Military craft are bought developed for and purchased by the government, thus argument can be made that their likeness is part of the public domain.
4) As famous military craft, they are in the pubic eye and thus "fair use" applies.
Kojima the producer open to MGS remake, Kojima the creator not so much
Dec 29th 2011 4:27PM (Joystiq)BTW - I also LOVE playing it in it's original glory on my PSP.

It feels like playing the original Deus Ex with all the graphical mods.
Very slick looking low-poly gaming.
(You can also do the same thing with a PS1 emulator, and N64 emulator... nothing weirder than playing Ocarina of Time in extremely high-res textures and shading, but hellishly low poly counts).
EFF working to make console modding legal
Dec 2nd 2011 1:33PM (Joystiq)I'm completely ok with that. Though that won't work either as it's too easy to hack the activation codes (see just about any PC software that's pirated).
Strangely enough, I bought more games when my PS3 was modded, as I got to download the pirate versions and play test them before risking $50-$60 on shitty games.

Dec 2nd 2011 1:31PM (Joystiq)Not really. PS3 is effectively kept offline for any modded units.
(It's the one reason I un-jailbroke my own. Sad though, I loved using the jailbroken PS3 for playing ancient ROMS).
