Worries about piracy?  Looks like the 360 version is going to be next on the chopping block.

I read that Witcher 2 got picked up by NAMCO BANDAI

apparently they have a lot of control over the project now including set timetables the devs have to stick to.


Two things coming from that:
-X360/PS3 release is assured
-I feel sorry for fans of The Witcher.  Scamco is the worst company in gaming.

Not at all.  I'm too busy conquering the English to care about some silly fighting game.

Does that mean that The Witcher 2 will have 108kb sex cards that you can buy for $2/each?

Wait, where did you read that? Did Atari dump it or something?

Edit: Nevermind. Namco Bandai is EUROPE.

lolololol

Edit 2: This was known back in MAY.

oh, nm then.  I saw it in a gaf thread and thought it was breaking news. :X

Looks like Baldur's Gate is coming to GOG.

1. Namco put up some extra money
2. CDP has a timetable that they have to follow

Not nearly as bad as the OP at GAF made it out to be.

apparently the newest PS3 firmware causes a bunch of USB controllers to stop working as a way to prevent hacking it.

[Bebpo]

sounds very Sony.  To fight the pirates, fuck the paying customers.

my arcade stick better still work.

I wonder if THIS is what fucked up my two Mad Catz Fight Pads? 

Although the two new ones I bought to replace them work fine...

[Bebpo]

The firmware came out yesterday, Lyte.  When did your fight pads stop working?

[archie4208]

GOG is back.  The whole thing was a PR stunt.  PC gaming lives another day.

BING has a search rewards program now. You can earn 100 MS points every 100 points. You get 250 points immediately on sign up. This could be highly abusive.

Also I just changed everything to Bing

[cool breeze]

wait, you get achievement points for searching online?

and GoG 
I'm glad I can buy Outcast and Advent Rising now, but that was a total bitch move.  They think they're the pope or something.

[demi]

No, you earn 100 MS points to buy XBL games...

yeah, but what are the 100 points referring to?

[demi]

I got 275 from 250 signup + some quick offers and spamming the search bar with "poop, anus, bear, cock" etc.

Free MS points just for wackin to porn? Win

[demi]

You get points for searching, or doing offers (like clicking links to see stuff Bing offers) - then you redeem the points for the MS points code

You have to install the toolbar though. I just disabled everything on it except Rewards + Privacy buttons

[demi]

It has me set up to earn 10 points for every 20 searches. I can only earn 10 points per day. $5 free MS points a month just from searching random words. Plus any misc. free point offers they have.

You could (could) just flood it with random accounts as well on multiple computers (it might know when you install on the same computer) and redeem each account for their 200 MS points, then uninstall it and move on to the next one

I dont see why they wouldnt. Would be a bit silly to send 100pt cards

It's mainly funny because as usual Molyneux gets out there and does his song and dance and grounds nothing in reality. The press needs to stop treating him as part of the development community and simply as a marketing spokesman. Like any other marketing executive who you can safely ignore.

Man, this looks exactly the same as deathspank. It's almost like they made one game and split it in half.

They were developed in conjunction with each other so that is to be expected.

Yeah he's awful. And it goes back a lot further than Fable. He's always been this way.

Man, shifting 20-27fps in combat.  What the fuck is wrong with this gen.  Seriously if your game can't hold locked 30fps with no tearing, then just drop the resolution.  Framerate > a few extra pixels.

I would never even touch that "game"...i never play artsy-fartsy  "games" like Heavy Rain and some others...
But don't worry that amazing tech will be used in some "other" game...my bet is on Fable Kinect game

Besides i really don't understand why some people are obsessed with something that honestly looks like a pedo training simulator.

If it was that easy then everyone would drop resolution.Heavenly Swords devs tried to drop resolution,but it didn't help them much,game was botelnecked somewhere else.

But i have to say even though framerate is shit that vid has sold me on the game...cutscenes look amazing and they are realtime...gameplay looks button smashy,fine by me....hype hype hype 

Few more days

Yeah the graphics look great despite the framerate, but still when I see drops to 20fps in combat I'm just like wtfffffff

Death Label in the PS2 release of Dodonpachi Dai Ou Jou has finally been cleared by a player named MON, seven years and five months after the release of the game. Easily one of the most impressive accomplishments in video game history.


his skills are beyond godlike.

[youtube=560,345][/youtube]
(That's not the video of him clearing it, it's just one of his failed attempts. Hopefully he posts the clear pretty soon)

what a stupid looking game

Is the Itunes store crapping on anyone else today?  I'm trying to check out fruit ninja and some free apps but the connection keeps timing out.

[iconoclast]

The funny part is, the 360 version of Dai Ou Jou is really easy to 1000. It's one of the stupidest things about 5pb's shooter ports... they're sitting on some of the most hardcore games ever created, but they make the achievements babby easy.

Oh, and about the Death Label video, that's actually the second loop of it. To get that far, you have to beat all of those bosses once, then the game begins a second loop, where it takes away all of your lives, and the bosses get even harder (the bullets get a lot faster). His skills are so disgusting it makes me want to throw up.

[muckhole]

Just tried to use the online DRM transfer tool to move my game licenses to my new 360, and it appears to have failed. My download que is full, but all the games have an exclaimation mark next to them, and say "Assigned to another console".

I NEED this to work, as I don't have a highspeed line I can use regularly where I live out in the sticks, and all my Live titles won't work offline without the transfer going through. This glitch better not wipe out my "one use per year" of the DRM tool.

On the phone to XBox now (on hold, of course).
