Skyrim's Creation Kit released with 'surprise' High-Resolution Texture Pack, Portal cameo

Feb 13th 2012 3:17PM (Joystiq)
@Khalus Ha ha ha. Nice one.
Yeah, I've tried a couple dozen texture mods. Some work nicely, some not.
This "official" HD pack is the only mod I've used that Crashes. Every. Loadscreen. Without fail.
It's a damn shame you can't tell Steam to delete your DLC.

Buy your very own copy of Canabalt for C64

@(Unverified) Then would it blow your mind that there was also a Fast Loader cartridge available to load disk images quicker? :D http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_loader

Indie: Atari claiming copyright infringement on 'hundreds' of iOS games, Atari responds

Jan 4th 2012 3:37AM (Joystiq)
@DaleP Truth, but I think you answered your own question. HasbroGrames (or InfogrAtari if you like) needs to keep making money from their investment, not their legacy. Game Room crashed and burned. There isn't a new console cycle to rerelease a new compilation on... And that Asteroids major motion picture didn't seem to pan out.

Protection of that Atari IP in the *hopes* that "Classic-colon-Subtitle" will eventually be a hit is literally all their corporate direction is capable of at this moment in time. They are in the business of knocking themselves off. Namco has figured out how to do it right with the DX series. Some of the finest game developers in the world have said they couldn't even begin to make Pac-Man better, but Namco did.

I bet money Atari is trying to poach some of that talent, but that's ludicrously difficult to do between companies inside Japan, nevermind a western corporation luring away Japanese employees. Iwatani isn't going to come out of retirement for them. And even Namco isn't raising the bar for smartphone games. That's all we'll see from Atari for a while.

@1nate146 I'm level 14 on 4 characters, haven't unlocked a single piece of headgear. :(

But realistically... just wait. ;)

@Korbie It's so close to Christmas, red and green was the natural fit. :)

Zynga stock falters, holds on first day of trading

I believe Blizzard already trademarked the term "Cow Clicker".

Humble Indie Bundle 4 adds free soundtracks for every game

Dec 17th 2011 3:02PM (Joystiq)
I'm reasonably certain the Shank soundtrack has always been free, but it's also excellent, and I mean excellent. Even if you weren't impressed with the game (and enough people were that they're making a sequel), the music is a keeper.

Nintendo to repair buggy Zelda: Skyward Sword save files

Dec 16th 2011 6:03PM (Joystiq)
@spin cycle You've just described patching the save file. Same action, different files (since it can't modify the CD). "Patch" is not dependent of when in the chain the error occurs, it simply fixes the error by altering data.

Skyrim Online mod aims to take the game, er, online
