Prerended cutscenes are so 90s. I though the PS3 was powerful enough to give us high quality in game rendered cut scenes. Besides that it's always nicer to stay within the game's world representation instead of getting a completely different view during the game.
Yes, in the future you will no longer own a copy of a game. Instead you lease (or maybe even rent) a copy (for the same price as you previously owned a copy). Even with hard copies of games you will find yourself locked out in the future because it requires an online activation.
With an attitude like that you will be waiting a long time before I will consider being one of your customers. Screwing over customers is one thing, but claiming that we're happy with it is a completely new game.
Epic is also working on UT2007 simultaneously. There are people at Epic that only work on GoW, people that only work on UT2007 and people than only work on UnrealEngine3. Some people might work on GoW+UE3 and some on UT2007+UE3. So it's $10M in total
Either you care or you don't and get abused and will take your responsibility when your machine is being abused to abuse other machines. Take your pick.
How about Steve Polge, probably unknown to many. He created the Reaper Bot for Quake which got lead him to a job at Epic Games working on the A.I. for Unreal at the basics for Botmatch which in the end resulted in Unreal Tournament.
Clearly a gamer that became a pioneer, but yet remained fairly unknown to many.
In single player games the game won't go on when the player is not playing. You won't mis any of the action. From the description of this game mode the game could last way over 10 hours when the teams are balanced. A simply CTF game with a cap of 3 can last a couple of hours.
It would be nice if Microsoft simply included a branded version of Firefox with Windows Vista. (e.g. one with MSN search as default search engine instead of Google).
Don't know anything about German trademark law, only a bit about the Dutch law, and ofcourse IANAL, but doesn't a registered trademark only give you (legal) protection against competitors using that name for their brands? You would need to have a copyright on a word in order to prevent people from using it and that's not possible afaik.
Then what about the rest of the engine. A game engine is more than just whatever you put on the screen. If you drop a complete engine you'll also have to implement the rest. Switching an engine is a bad idea when you already did a lot for the game. Dropping an engine and rolling your own is just plain stupid.
other rating institutions. It's not like the US is the only country with a game rating system. Maybe they should look how the other do it. For example, check out the procedure they use at PEGI. Apperently they managed to label Sand Andreas as 18+ and Oblivion as 16+.
Slashdot Mirror
You must be new to slashdot. After you get a bunch of people, you do three full stops, and then you've got profit.
...
To summarize:
1) get a bunch of people
2)
3) profit
hmm... I though it was all about swirls and swooshes

Just like how Firefox fragmented the Mozilla userbase?

"Rated R; for retarded"
And besides that, wtf would influential in gaming mean? Every part considering gaming? In that case Hillary Cliton should also be on that list.
What's wrong with the mobygames category listing?

And the first to have jump pads or a proper element of height.
And the first, and maybe only, to have a random level generator.

Well, it does require at least MSIE 5.5 in order to run.
So yes, this is only a new frontend.
The feature is also available directy from the "Tools" menu.
pay next year for the same price.
Well at least my kneecaps are safe.

It's a survey by the Yankee group, so it must be Microsoft.
Wait a minute... wasn't the PS3 from Microsoft's compeditor?
How difficult are these ratings anyway: http://www.esrb.org/ratings/ratings_guide.jsp
The only requirement to understand them is that you are able to read. So I guess the ESRP ratings have a 8+ rating themselves.
Any game that has an M or Ao rating might not be suitable for kids (but this is up to the parents to decide).

There is nothing wrong with the HTML button element (well, except that MSIE doesn't understand completely).
/> variant.
<button type="submit" onclick="doAjaxStuff(); return false;">submit my input</button>
works perfectly and is far superior to the lousy <input type="submit" value="submit my input"
