Rumor: Xbox Dashboard update to add 1GB of DVD storage

Mar 30th 2011 11:31AM (Joystiq)
Let this generation die already.

Report: 3DS components cost about $100

Don't worry, once the NGP comes out this thing will seem cheap.

EA Sports abandons paper manuals, goes digital

Mar 21st 2011 8:32PM (Joystiq)
OK. So how about the dolphins they save by not printing the manual can allow them to put more plastic back in the shell?

Lack of a manual is fine (who reads them anyway?) but the "green" (read: cheaper to make and ship) disc holders are lame and feel wanky.

THQ stock drops 25 percent in one day on Homefront launch

Unfortunately for publishers, unlike the movie industry, people actually read game reviews and use that as a basis for their decision.

If I can spend $60 on Fallout and play it for 75 hours, or $60 on a FPS with a 4 hour storyline, that's a no brainer. Even with glitches.

Report: Doom movie reboot in the works at Universal

Mar 11th 2011 10:10PM (Joystiq)
The reboot window for movies is getting so short, eventually they'll reboot films not even made yet, at which point we'll actually get new movies.

Batman: Arkham City opens up for tourism October 18

Jeez, another triple A game to buy this fall. First one was amazing, sure this one will be even better.

Microsoft: 10 million Kinect units, Kinect games sold

Mar 9th 2011 7:47PM (Joystiq)
Amazing - when you actually produce enough of something, more people can buy it! Nintendo, are you listening?

Granted, it will cause it to "fad out" faster but still - make hay while the sun shines.

XBLIG facts: Nazi-killing a no-no, revenue a yes-yes

Imagine if they had this rule for Zombies. 95% of the titles would disappear.

Battlefield 3's executive producer, on balancing realism in Frostbite 2

Mar 2nd 2011 11:00AM (Joystiq)
Console: 256 meg video, 256 RAM.

Average PC: 4 gigs RAM, 512 meg video. With 1 gig video being very, very affordable.

The 360's CPU is still very beefy, but RAM is the big bottleneck. Your average PC has SIXTEEN TIMES more. Granted, OS eats a lot, but it's still not even close.

If these consoles insist on going past the typical 5 year cycle, then at least let the PC games finally blow open their potential and leave them in the dust. Battlefield 3 = day 1, not even reading reviews purchase.

Bethesda proves it's really serious about Skyrim baby name contest

Feb 23rd 2011 12:19AM (Joystiq)
Really, Dovahkiin isn't as bad as a lot of the names celebrities give their kids. It could at least pass for being middle eastern or Norwegian... unlike, say "Moon Unit" or "Honor Warren".
