  1. Re:PS3 and Linux by MBCook · · Score: 1 · on Penny Arcade Adventures To Appear On PS3
    The Wikipedia pages don't seem to mention the PS3. They mention OS X, Windows, and Linux. They also say that Torque Game Engine Advanced was developed for the XBox and 360 (used in Marble Blast, for example). There is also Torque X which was created to be used with Microsoft's XNA development kit.

    The Torque website specifically lists a Torque for Wii and a Torque for 360, but I don't see a PS3 version.

    All that said, I did notice a couple of places that seem to confirm Rocketmen was Torque.

    Perhaps there is some feature that PAA:OtRSPoD:EO is using that Rocketmen didn't which is causing the Torque problem.

  2. Re:Child's Play by cgenman · · Score: 1 · on SOE CEO Responds To CBS Critiques

    To be fair to Sony...

    Everquest 2
    World of Warcraft
    Everquest 2
    Lineage 2
    Everquest 2
    A Tale in the Desert
    Another Lineage 2, just because I like the art style.
    Everquest 2
    Asheron's Call 2
    Everquest 2
    Everquest 2
    Final Fantasy XI Online
    Everquest 2
    Ragnarok Online

    These are hand-picked images from a quick google images search. Hopefully that balances both ways. I'll let you all be the judge of the aesthetic quality of EQ2.

    You'll also note that the imagery has gotten much more stylized as the series has progressed into the desert of flames expansion. I suspect this has been a touchy subject within Sony, which is why they had the strong reaction they did to the criticism.

  3. Re:To be launched in... Also Dark Ages of Camelot by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Blizzard Announces New Warcraft MMORPG
    With the introduction of Lineage into the US, and Destination Systems lining up its MMORPG to the mix, its seems every gaming company is scrambling to release their own brand into the mix. Currently the big leaders are Ultima Online, Everquest, Asheron's Call, WWII, and Anarchy Online. And announcements for more like Blizzard's World of Warcraft (see other slashdot reference) due in the future, and Dark Ages of Camelot which is set to be released this fall.

    Two new Dark Age of Camelot Previews

    Gamespy and Frictionless Insight have both published previews of Camelot based on their own beta test experience.


    Frictionless Insight had this to say:


    "I'm as excited for Dark Age of Camelot as I have been for any game in what seems like a long while. Camelot looks like it is on track for its October release. When the final release comes out we will, of course, do a full review. In the meantime, cross your MMOG fingers, because Camelot is looking good, real good."

    Gamespy's summary was just as glowing:

    "Take all the good things I've pointed out in this preview to heart. DaoC is actually fun to play. It offers a massive world with lots of diverse characters, classes, skills, magic, and trade skills. Later on down the road it will offer housing and PvP combat. Put all this aside and one key factor rises to the top: It's actually fun to play. And to be honest about it, that's all that matters in the end!"


    Can wait to get my hands on these!!! Just which one???????
