Whats a bugbear? Not really that impressive. Looks like a Destruction Derby game.

From the Flatout devs.

So this is interesting:

Rumour Killzone 4 was made with 1.5gb RAM


On the devkits. Most devs were working with 1.5 gbs

If true there are a number of implications. Firstly it would explain why most games didn't look anywhere near as good as Deep Down. And it means PS4 graphics will get a lot better and more detailed. But the rumour is that all devs were using 1.5gb ram, so Deep Down is possible with that limited amount of memory?

The other reason it's interesting is because Wii U has 1gb ram free and Nintendo is aiming to free up more by reducing the OS footprint so you would get around 1.5gb free just for games, so you would/could see U graphics like those early PS4 reveals albeit at 720p not 1080p with a 2.5x lower fillrate at that resolution.

Square's Ian Livingstone talks next-gen; hints at always-on, used game-blocking Xbox:

“With the next Xbox, you supposedly have to have an internet connection, and the discs are watermarked, whereby once played on one console it won’t play on another. So I think the generation after that will be digital-only.”

I read the instructions, did the camera lock on the big boss. Whenever I was knocked over the camera lock was lost. And you get knocked on your ass all the time. Not only that the camera lock doesn't really do anything, it doesn't lock the camera on like zelda or anything. You still have to adjust the camera with the second stick or auto centre it with L constantly which momentarily takes your thumb off the dodge and attack buttons. That fricking bunny was slip sliding all over the place.

I'm not one to tell you to keep playing a game you're not enjoying, but if you're getting knocked down all the time, you're still not playing it right. The key to playing the game is remembering that it's not a typical action game where you can basically just get up to an enemy, lock-on, and then just take turns attacking and dodging. You really have to master the art of staying just far enough away and then moving in to attack it lets its' guard down, and knowing which weapon is the best for the job.  While some weapons are more useful than others, there is no one weapon that'll work against everything. That's the lesson I didn't quite learn when I played the original Wii version when I focused too much on using one of the light bows. After a while I couldn't hold my own against anything.

So like I said, if it's not for you then cool you'll find something else to play. But if you want to give it one more chance try fighting the bunny with the dual blades and see if that doesn't change your battle outcome.

It's not often I see a costume that really impresses me anymore, but I saw a pic of one today that just knocked me the fuck out:

I've been going to conventions now for over a decade and I've never seen this, and I don't know why. It's so simple, but this chick absolutely nails it. Oh and if you don't know who she is leave this forum forever and don't return. You don't belong.

Samus when you use the Justin Bailey cheatcode.

Fuuuuuu

How does the "watermark" technology work? Has this been used elsewhere? I suppose it's like limited installs, but it makes it sounds like it prints something on the disc.

Really appreciate this post, but I don't think it's a game for me. Too challenging and in depth, too demanding?

Yeah he must be talking abstractly. Must be an on disc code.
