Blizzard Hacked: http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/260696/blizzard_entertainment_warns_of_password_breach.html?tk=rel_news

Maybe they would take the time to fix up Diablo III as an apology.

PSN got breached again the villain says he have 50 gigabytes of raw data in possession or just trolling ten million people to change their passwords.

Onlive closing: http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/08/17/onlive-possibly-being-closed-by-end-of-day


I didn't even know it still existed

For all the time EA spends shitting on its customers, sooner or later they'd file for bankruptcy. And it's not because of EA, more and more gamers are becoming educated about their spending habits and spend less money on games. EA could get away with shit earlier because their customers were idiots who would gobble their shit day one, complete with day-one DLC that involved the main storyline.

I used to remember that during college I used to spend hours on Dragon Age. When the Awakening DLC came out, I was disappointed because I finished it in less than a day and the story was absolute shit. Talk about a huge waste of my time.

I think a large part of EA's current problems come from the fact that SWtoR was a massive flop

>>7120
the people who are outraged about things like day 1 DLC are a vocal minority.

I think EA's problem is treating the video game industry like a monopoly board.
All they do is buy up as many game developers as they can, and force them to produce by the numbers video games on a regular bases with nothing but profit in mind.
That sort of pig headed greedy approach while completely ignoring customers and only feeding them what they believe they'll buy (not 'want') based off the words of researchers out of touch with the gaming community and stereotypes, that gamers are all dumb and will pay for just about anything as long as they first pay off review sites and magazines for goods reviews to their mediocre games.
It just can't end well down the line.

No shit. They always were. It's just that other companies learned not to take their example and everyone in the business got fed up with N.

Am I the only one who thinks this is pretty funny? Like, I actually laughed when I saw it. Then again that might be because I don't give a shit about Sony (or console gaming period I guess).

Burger-kun banzai!

there has been a very rapid increase in games slightly modified to contain RAT viruses, that gain access to everything you do. make sure to be careful with your downloads!

>>7212
Do you have any examples?

>>7212
Huh. I torrented Dark Souls yesterday and it would fail to install (media3.cab missing or something). Hopefully I'm safe.

>>7215
I got the FLT version uploaded to thepiratebay by extremezone. It works perfectly, even with the resolution fix patch.

>>7217
Same as I got and it wouldn't work, weird.

>>7213
It's actually happening to a lot of games, but it started with someone taking already existing indie games that aren't too well known to begin with like "The hunt" or some of those horror games that have been coming out, infecting them with the remote administration tool and using their accounts to post the infected file in even more places.
Though, it only seems to be happening with lesser known games, so if you're torrenting popular games such as dark souls, you should be fine

>>7252
I actually know a guy who gets paid to do that to games.

>wake up Gordon

>>7260
Oh wow, this is actually coming out? I had just assumed they gave up a long time ago.

>>7263

Same here...it's been years so it started to feel like "vaporware".

It's not gonna have the Xen levels. They sucked ass so that's cool, but I have to wonder why they left them out.

>>7260
I am stunned. I too thought this was long dead.

The first Half Life still is my favorite fps even after all these years.

>>7260
>>7263
>>7265
This is the oldest trick in the book, they had the same exact page for half life 3, and nothing happened when it hit 0.

Steam Greenlight will require a 100$ fee to post games on it now: http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/09/05/steam-greenlight-submission-fee/

It really needed some sort of filter, considering all the ridiculous garbage that flooded it. They probably could have picked a better charity than Child's Play to donate the money to though

>>7281
would you rather they keep it?

>>7282
I would rather them donate to the red cross or something.

>"I think that if people who torrent the game are aware that there is a live person behind the game, and makes the game for a living, they are more willing to provide support than to a giant lifeless studio," he said.

Yeah, because games made by big studios are made by robots who don't need no pay or any of that shit.
Then again the ones who are really to blame for this state of things are the studios themselves as they fail to establish such link with any of their customers. 'Sure, we want you to buy our game but we care about enjoyment, too.' Literally two devs come to mind when I write this, I might be forgetting about some, though.

will Sony announce their new model of the ps3 on TGS?

WiiU price: 299 basic-349 premium usd/euro
Release date: us 18th november eu 30th november

Bayonetta 2 exclusive
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate

that is it.

>>7312
Pretty expensive...

>>7313

Isn't that about normal for a newly released console?

>>7315
for a console with new hardware yes but the controller is the actual greater price.
What I am more concerned about is the low memory of 8 gb on the standard model how will dlc,buggy games be fixed compared to ps3/360 with 250 gb harddrives,the wii did not have support for updates broken games stayed broken(i am not buying a external harddrive for a console)

Published by Nintendo

>>7318
they'll probably re-release newer versions of the system every few years with more and memory, like how the ps3 started with 60gb and now they're up to 320 GB

>>7319
I wonder if Nintendo is finally going to stop exclusively pandering to (man)children and the elderly.

I am still interested in the Wii U.

A bit more than I hoped, but not surprising considering the controller.

I still applaud them for bringing something new to the table. Most of their detractors keep saying they only release the same old shit, only then to be excited about the same old shit with the same old controller over and over again.

Online FPS were hot back even in the late 90's when many a gamer was still a baby.

I would think that would be what the younger crowd would be tired of, instead of other genres. But it isn't for whatever reason.

>>7322
I've got to say that I'm also slightly interested in this thing.

Black Mesa Source is out. The torrent is 3GB and will take me 2 hours

>>7325

I was excited for this, too, until I learned it's not even complete yet. 8+ years and they've only finished half of it.

>>7326

I think it's just the Xen levels that are cut. But yeah it's weird they would work so long only to have an unfinished project, might as well go all the way

>>7325
I've played it a bit, just got up to the cascade. It's really well done so far, I'm pleasantly surprised

>>7325
played up to Apprehension and I think there's a bug with the physics puzzle that raises a platform from out of the water, which doesn't raise high enough to move on.

I tried stacking up boxes and other stuff on the end to jump off, didn't work, tried placing everything I could in the gap and jumping off them didn't work, tried removing and replacing the buoys to see of that would do anything, did nothing, and of course I tried running and jumping the gap countless times.

>>7340
I remember having a little trouble with that part as well. Keep adding buoys/wooden things until the end is out of the water, then do the jump + crouch thing to catch the other ledge. Some of the buoys are in rather awkward places; check you haven't missed any.

>>7341
Had all the buoys, just needed to work on my crouch jump skills it seems.

Bayonetta 2 being a wiiu exclusive is completely fucking retarded, and I don't care what anyone says. the first game wasn't even on the wii. all they're doing is giving a kick in the balls to the people that played the first game.

>>7344
I don't want to sound mean, but I find all the Bayonetta 2 hate absolutely hilarious as a 3rd party that has nothing to do with it.

I mean like, no one even wanted to fund Bayonetta 2, its not like you would have been able to play it on the PS3 or 360 anyway right?

>>7348
There are rumors and stuff flying around that they're due to unveil Half Life 3 soon.

>Polish Retailer Teases ‘New PS3′ Design.jpg

I think it will be alot thinner and new harddware support for gaikai.

>>7347
I, too, found it hilarious.

>>7347
>>7353
When did I say I wanted to play it? It's just retarded. and you seem to have missed the part about the first game not being on wii. it's retarded that you'd have to own two different systems to play the two games. this is just like mass effect 2 and 3 being available on ps3 but not part one. I don't know about you, but I don't like to get down with sequels unless I've experienced the prequel. hilarious right? fuck you.

>>7352
Sony is a premium brand and they release this shit that will break in matter of months,oh wait
this is the 21st century.

>>7364
What do you expect when they make a lighter and smaller version of an already slim version?
Did you think it would be made of solid titanium?
yeah sure, the top sliding panel thing looks like crap, but the slim ps2 also had something similar to that and I don't remember people complaining much about it.

Post edited on 19th Sep 2012, 2:46pm

>>7366

I actually like the sliding thing.
Reminds of old consoles, with the cartridge on top.

>>7368
I don't get where you get that.

Really why not a pop top like the original playstation, dreamcast and late model ps2s. The slide away door seems cheaper than that for some reason.

Wow, another overly dramatic prerendered trainer that shows no game play at all and probably has nothing to do with the game itself.

Well the gameplay is going to be exactly like the first one. Even the characters are the same.

Asking people on the IRC channel if they are interested in playing anything that isn't DotA/LoL is a fool's errand.

http://www.joystiq.com/2012/11/07/microsoft-files-patent-for-device-that-enforces-licenses-through/

Here's news for anybody with a 360.

>>7558
>The patent lists a number of options for determining the validity of the possible viewers, including counting their number (as in, making sure only three people were able to see a movie), or actually identifying specific users (to make sure Julie isn't watching a movie that Mark was only licensed to see).

if they ever tried this the amount of blowback would be immense.

what is the rationale behind it supposed to be? I think it would only be useful to stop people from sharing accounts.

>>7558

Just because they patent something doesn't mean they are gonna use it. That said, I wish they would, since it would kill them
