I guess, but GOW3 didn't really do anything different either. I thought there was some good stuff in Chains.

Ghost Of Sparta is much better though, have you played it? The pacing of gameplay and the graphics are a huge step up. It looks better than the PS2 games in HD, unlike Chains. Awesome effects and whatnot in every scene.

I played them both on the psp.  The first one was "Wow! look how pretty a game can be on a handheld, who cares if it's essentially the same game and it's only six hours!".  The second one was an improvement in every possible department, except for still being essentially the same game.  I think god of war games are much more enjoyable when played on hard mode, in the default/medium it's just too easy to mow everyone down without bothering to even block or defend.

I kinda like ReadyAtDawn a lot even though they're usually just handed side projects or remakes etc

GoW3 combat system was a big improvement with the quick dashing boots and weapon switching combos. Plus the setpieces were beyond incredible.

No I have not played GoS but I heard that one is good.

I like Ghost Of Sparta more than GOW3 at this point.

I love the graphics in this game, beautiful.

Installing Diablo 3 now!!! Oh man this game is going to kick my ass.

The only thing I can agree on in that article about games and porn, is that yes it is much easier jerking off to porn than dealing with a relationship...obviously. But does anyone really think smacking it to ANYONE'S pics online is anywhere near as good as actually having real life sex? Like this is going to make somebody say "yeah you know I'm all set going out and getting some real vagina tonight. Just gonna sit home and have an amazing jack off fest!"? Please...

Well...maybe Steel would.

9 times out of 10 you are right.  Nothing compares to actual intercourse.  There's times though when either cause of fatigue or for some other reason, I just can't go through with all the foreplay necessary to get to the good part.  Times like those, nothing compares to getting yourself off with a good wank.

and yeah sometimes all the hassle of a relationship also makes me wonder if it's worth it for a few moments of ecstasy.  jury's still out

If there's enough warnings before E3 to get onboard something, consider it. ‪#PSPlus‬

I considered PSN+ an insult even during that month I had it for free after Sony did the leap-year fuck up which locked people's playstations.  Full price: £17.99, discounted price for our dear psn+ members: £16.83.  Give me a break

RUMOR: Wii U specs, price and release date 'leak'

From a forum post (translated from Italian) on a Nintendo fan site, from a user claiming to be a Ubisoft Milan developer

Graphics card: Radeon HD 6770

RAM: 2Gb, with 560 (more?) dedicated to running the operating system.


Support for two of the system's tablet controllers

The controller's triggers are digital rather than analogue.

The new 'button' on the controller relates to a new version of the Wii Vitality Sensor technology.

Achievements supported.

The dashboard is customisable.
The console is currently running Epic's newly revealed Unreal Engine 4.

Valve is working on a digital distribution system for the console, as well as a port of Portal 2.


EA and Crytek are also very much involved.

The system is due for launch on November the 23rd, for between $350 and $450. Price not entirely set yet.

This is the second time this Valve rumour has popped up.

According to the developer, the Nintendo console will launch on November 23, 2012 (worldwide?) and cost somewhere between $350 and $450 USD -- the price still isn't set in stone. The GPU of choice will be AMD's Radeon HD 6770 which will support not only DirectX 11, but Epic's Unreal Engine 4.


As for other specs, the rumor dump claims the console will sport 2 GB of RAM, 560 MB of which will be dedicated to the console's operating system. The Wii U's user interface will be customizable whereas the console itself will come packed with pre-installed software. It will also support touch-screen controllers.


On the Ubisoft front, slated games include Rayman Legends, The Avengers, Assassin's Creed 3 (which will run at 60fps at 1080p, compared to 720p on PS3 and Xbox 360) and Just Dance 4. Killer Freaks from Outer Space is set to arrive weeks after launch.

The Ubisoft developer also states that Crytek and Electronic Arts are working on Wii U products -- this factor is old news. Valve, on the other hand, is also reportedly bringing its Steam service to the new console in addition to ports of both Portal games. Achievements will be supported by the console as well.


Now here's an interesting tidbit: multiple versions of the Wii U are currently in the hands of developers. Does this mean Nintendo will offer tiered models? This seems unlikely given the company's past releases. The note seems to indicate that Nintendo may have provided multiple configurations to see what developers liked best while keeping the final cost to consumers reasonable.


Again, take all of this with a grain of salt. The Unreal Engine 4 report seems a little far-fetched given that it's finally able to run on a single Nvidia Kepler GPU -- unless Epic is offering a modified version of UE4 capable of running on Nintendo's hardware, that is. Rumor has it that Nintendo "tweaked" the console so that it could run Epic's latest engine. The company seemingly doesn't want to disappoint with this console, so UE4 could be a possibility.
