E3 - John Romero's Newest FPS, Via N-Gage
It seems that Nokia's 'mobile game deck', the N-Gage has lured John Romero and his Monkeystone Games posse back from reliving their 2D shareware glory days with Hyperspace Delivery Boy, and onto his 3D shareware FPS glory days, with their own adaptation of THQ's first-person shooter Red Faction. Here are links to the new Red Faction N-Gage trailer in MPEG-4 and Quicktime.Update: 05/13 15:58 GMT by H : We had a story on N-Gage a couple months back.
what article? it's a bunch of links to different web sites.
if you're referring to the post, it says clearly "with their own adaptation of THQ's first-person shooter Red Faction"
seems pretty clear to me.

Since it takes /. about a week to catch up (Really Old News For Nerds, Stuff that mattered last week) how about the newly announced Sony handheld thingy?
is in fact NOT MP4 (or its some bastardization thereof), but is in truth some form of ASF that my OS X Windows Media Player can't handle.

I have no eyes!
(after having read the last games.slashdot.org story).
If so, where can I download a demo? If not, why
is this story on Slashdot.
The N-Gage hasn't been released yet, but it has the same processor, OS, screen resolution and basic buttons as the 3650/7650. The main differences will be:
1. Uses removable media cards for games
2. Buttons are laid out like a handheld game system
I have played some games on my Nokia 3650 and it is a very capable gaming platform. The battery lasts for several hours while gameplaying. The screen is bright and clear, and the controls are reasonable if not exceptional.
If you want a perfect device for every possible function then more power to you. I found that my Palm PDA stayed in my bag because it was too large to carry in my pocket. I would rather have a slightly less functional device that I can (and do) carry with me all the time. I don't care for the idea of a batbelt for a separate phone, portable game machine, PDA, camera, etc.
And if you'd bother downloading it, you'd notice there were other files bundled in with the video...
/.ers to show any restraint.
Right. We can't expect
good romero-as-hot-chick jokes:

Defiance was revealed at the last minute along with Eidos other offerings.
There's some other cool-looking products at this year's E3, but I know what *I'm* pre-ordering as soon as it's available =).
