Yeah I'm getting pissed, bought a  game on PSN 2 nights ago not sure if it even works yet still

Remember last year in February when they stopped working altoghter?  Nothing tops that insanity.  NOTHING.

Snippets from Big Download:

• Steam has new automatic updates for Post Apocalyptic Mayhem, Left 4 Dead 2 (with the repeat of the Survival Versus mutation gameplay mode, Dino D-Day and Portal 2.
• A newly added trademark may be the name for the next Hitman game.
• Who is the bald guy that is pictured in one of Valve's intro movies? Reddit has the answer.
• In the "This is a real product" category, the Garbage Truck Simulator 2011 game is coming this May.

I can understand EA's desire to build closer relationships with their end-users.  But how many logins/ subscriptions can you handle?

Me? Very few. 1 at most.  I always find it a pain in the ass to unlock DLC from the publishers like EA nad THQ who ask you to set up seperate accounts.

EDIT: However, I do like the idea of a subscription for sports games.  I mean, I buy MLB The Show every year, so If I could pay about the same and get more, then I'm for that.  And yeah, Madden is a religion, just as FIFA is, so EA will be able to pull it off.

I finished Portal 2, it took me about 9 hours. That ending was pretty epic.

There is good innovation and bad innovation. Which is this?

We have been busy finding out some top secret information on the NGP and we have managed to find out a little more about how they plan to use the camera in their launch window titles.



Our source close to Sony, who has seen the NGP in action already, gave us some information on how the camera is used in the upcoming Uncharted and Resistance titles for the NGP.


As a little quirk in Resistance players can pick up weapons that they are looking at on the screen by passing their hand underneath the camera on the outside of the NGP just as if they were picking up the weapon in real life.


In Uncharted, when a light source is required, pointing the outside camera at a nearby light or the sun will provide the necessary illumination.


These are both interesting uses of the technology that in first party titles that shows that Sony is keen for developers to make the most of the technology available in the handset to provide a more immersive experience.


Uncharted is due out with the NGP when it launches supposedly before Christmas and Resistance is slated for sometime between January and March

Miyamoto on new 3DS game ideas/test projects, LoZ 3D, StarFox 64 3D, various release dates, Super Mario 3D news, a love of ghost stories, and a possible 3DS to Project Cafe connection



- Nintendo has wrapped up The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D's development. Translations are being tweaked.

- LoZ 3D will run at 30 frames per second on 3DS

- Master Quest mode lets you play in mirror mode

- StarFox 64 3D development is finished

- the game will have the same name in all territories

- Super Mario 3D is still under intensive development.

- Mario Kart 3D will be released this year.

- Super Mario 3D will be a combination of Super Mario 64, Super Mario Galaxy and New Super Mario Bros.

- Super Mario 3D will be fully unveiled at E3 2011.

- Super Mario 3D will include a fixed camera system, slightly like the one you saw in Super Mario 64, in which the camera does not move and Mario walks around on the screen

- expect a great level of depth from the game, due to the 3D

- Nintendo is currently experimenting several entirely new 3D concepts

- Miyamoto is testing a game in which the player must discover which object is being displayed by moving it in different ways

- for example, an object that looked like something could prove to be completely different once viewed in a different manner

- the goal for Miyamoto is to use 3D to make the players feel surprised

- Nintendo is also testing a game in which an image is only visible to the left eye, and another image is only visible to the right eye

- Miyamoto would use this original concept for a Ghost game in which the player would not necessarily see what is coming in front of him

- Miyamoto loves ghost stories

- Nintendo is considering a possible connectivity between the Nintendo 3DS and a future home console, where the Nintendo 3DS could be used as a controller

- this, and many other ideas are being tested

Latest Wii 2 rumours

More details about Project Café, the controller and streaming


According to 01net, the French website that has led many of the supposed leaks so far, the controller for the Wii HD will be “a close cousin” of the UDraw tablet from THQ

The display on the controller is not high definition, but instead at a resolution in the range of 800 by 500 pixels.

They re-iterate a June 2012 time-frame for release, but say by that point the design of the controller could change. But for now, the mockup below is supposedly the most accurate:



The website is unable to confirm the final name of the console, but they refer to Stream, which is the rumored name as “a plausible and clever choice.” They then elaborate on the possible streaming functionality of Nintendo’s next system:


The console will be able to stream wirelessly streaming multiple types of streams (different media, games) to the knobs. This will make it possible to play without turning on the TV, or start a frenzied games on the big screen, and continue uninterrupted into the toilet.

Eh.

These are some of the magnetic platforms that you can stick too in Metal mario mode. The platforms rotate.

It's got some mario galaxy style 2D bits later in the game.

I just finished up a level which left me feeling euphoric. It's a series of towers you have to scale from bottom to top and clear. This picture only shows perhaps a quarter of the actual height of it. It's reminiscent of the Mario Galaxy level Buoy Base I think its called. Music track is heavenly on this level and its huge too.

VIDEO here: Guy is in the early stages where the music hasn't kicked in yet.

If  wasn't so lazy I could walk upstairs into the kids' playroom (aka my former media center) and watch it on the Wii upstairs. But everytime I go in there I start to cry when I look at how they destroyed the room.

You turned your game room into a play room for the kids?

Never give up your game room man. Believe me, it tears a hole in your soul.
