How do you figure?

He said graphics won't be the thing that is advanced in the next gen, it will be interfaces (gimmicks like Move, Kinect and the U). Novelties.

He didn't once say the words "Next Gen Hinges on Gimmicks, not graphics"

...

I know you don't like these new control interfaces and all but that title is quite heavy handed IMHO, no offence meant.

That's why I didn't use quotation marks.  I could have written Next Gen Hinges on Controls, Not Graphics" but then it wouldn't have been alliterative.  I'll save the gimmick conversation for another day.

"PSN delivers a fistful of discounts this week on Red Dead Redemption DLC, with Undead Nightmare a reanimated steal at $5. If you're looking for more modern sandbox experiences, GTA IV's The Ballad Of Gay Tony and The Lost And Damned are $10 and $5, respectively."

Where are the Japanese sales figures this week? Usually we have them by now...

"an ugly trend at Amazon.co.uk: sales of bats are spiking. Sales of both aluminum baseball bats and police batons have jumped 5,000 percent in the last 24 hours. The top 10 on Amazon's "movers and shakers" list for Sports and Leisure are: a wooden baseball bat, another wooden baseball bat, an aluminum bat, a wooden bat, a kid's wooden bat, a tent, a work stand, and another bat. Every item on the list has seen its sales shoot up more than 720 percent."

I don't usually post "analyst" stories, because like lawsuit stories they usually amount to nothing. However, I wanted to know what you guys thought about the GTA5 selling 18-24 million number.

It's based on selling 1 for every 5 HD consoles.

Firstly, I think the numbers for consoles are inflated, but as much as 10-15% (for all the failed PS360's out there). But do you think 20% of the available gamers are going to get GTA5?

I'm guessing Take2 will market the hell out of it, since it is their golden goose, so all the casual gamers (those that buy 1-3 games a year) will likely get it.  I'm suspecting the core will be warded off unless it previews well.

What do you think?

My god London is going mad. I cant find crap on it on US TV, I am on CNN and its just about the president honoring the 30 dead SEALS. That is a nice story but the London riots are a bit more important.

  It has NINJAS and FAPPING!  

Did I miss this or did all of you miss it. I expect this place to give me news, missing big RE news is unnacceptable.

Amyway here are scans from the latest issue of ONM where they reveal a ton on Revelations

In retaliation for Anonymous’ hack of the Syrian defense ministry webpage, a Syrian hacking force alleged to be called the “Syrian Electronic Army” struck back at Anonymous. How, you ask? They defaced Anonymous’ pet project, the social network AnonPlus, by replacing the homepage with the message above, including gruesome pictures of burned and mutilated bodies. Anonymous’ original hack was said to be in support of protesters in Syria and left a message encouraging the Syrian military to revolt against President Bashar al-Assad instead of supporting his suppression of the protests. The counter-hack attributed the current Syrian violence, depicted in the gruesome photos, to Syrian demonstrators instead.

The origin of the hackers was not mentioned on the defaced website. The attribution of this hack to the Syrian Electronic Army comes from a tweet by Citizen Lab, and the SEA are a recognized, public hacking organization, strikingly similar to Anonymous in their press and methods. They even have a bit of that Anonymous flavor to their message, stating that.

In response to your hacking to the website of the Syrian Ministry of Defence, the Syrian people have decided to purify the internet of [y]our pathetic website

This isn’t the first time there has been hacker in-fighting. Anonymous affiliate LulzSec  attracted the ire of many smaller groups determined to uncover and leak information about members. The difference there is that they were generally smaller (generally in regard to members, definitely in regard to media presence) and they were usually operating behind the scenes to leak information. This is the first time we’ve really seen any potential for two relatively high-profile groups to start slinging mud at each other in public space. To boot, it shows that, for all their aggression, Anonymous hasn’t been playing defense very well.

Both of these groups clearly have large egos about them, neither are above cyber vandalism and their ideals are pretty fundamentally contradictory. It seems that we could have an interesting conflict on our hands. Whether Anonymous and the SEA will do anything but simply annoy each other and call each other names remains to be seen, but this emergence of an apparently apt hacking group that is not based around the lulz and does not seem to share the otherwise common ideal of “complete and utter freedom of information for everyone” could totally change the hacking landscape.
