Not sure why people formed that opinion too much. It is however very useful to compare the two games and see what advances have been made.
The screenshots are flabergasting - but it's almost a shame that it isn't Ico 2.
I'd heard of TA's source being loosened, but I'd missed this project as well:s. Looking at the project description on their website, I'd say that the/. description is a little misleading. They seem to imply that it isn't so much a remake as... they're using TA some of the code and units.
I'm downloading as soon as I can be arsed to reboot, and will be so peeved if they using a 16 bit installer or it doesn't work on Win64.
I'm assuming that this isn't a Mindstorms competition? I can't imagine that LEGO would be hosting a robotics thing without trying to flaunt Mindstorms somewhere. It became Toast very quietly - the website just stopped updating itself; even though they're still selling it in many shops.
I've got a set of mindstorms, I haven't touched it in ages though - perhaps I should try getting it working again.
Anyone else not using Mindstorms?
I don't see why the American market is being thought of as such a superior market to the European one - why is all of the potential production power being diverted only to that region at the moment? Especially as Region 2 PSPs are being produced (for Japan). It's this... ignorant attitude from Sony that would make me get a DS - but I can only afford one and a PSP is more what I want from a machine.
Going to import one if it isn't coming out in June though - should organise it to get it jsut after the exam season...
It's a shame that (at least in Britain) the original Ico didn't sell too well, though its release wasnt as wide spread as it could have been (I didn't pick it up until it appeared in Game's preowned bin...). I hope that they don't realise this and drop a European release:(.
(I hope more so that sony don't drop the PSP release... which they edge nearer every week apparently).
There's currently an editorial team working on editting the articles to a fixed state that corrosponds to a certain degree of accuracy and quality. The idea is that this can be distributed in either paper or CD form to anyone who so wishes (and the developing world)
What article was it anyway? If (though I doubt it, I just don't know anything here) it was original research, then it wouldn't be allowed on those grounds. I don't have any objections on "vanity" grounds, and wouldn't, but each editor to their own.
I wrote an article that used images from my own website that I created, and someone registered my entry as possible copyright violation of my own work, even though I clearly stated on the entry that the images were mine!
Did you correct them? There are doubtless a few, too many editors who in haste may often tag pages over zealously, but enough do well enough in checking to see if they truely are copyvio by reading notices. Your experience is only one example of a flaw, but no system is perfect in its effect, and for the vast part, the open moderation system *does* work.
It seems to be currently working on a copy that is a good 35 hours+ old. I'm not sure about any more because the firewall here is allowing me access to neither Google cache or the livejournal technical blog (kinda ironic)
It is one of the worst designed websites I've seen. The pictures look good, and I like the way it is intuitive, but a button to silence it would be appreciated. My biggest gripe is, at least with this resoloution, all of the text can't be seen - the screen usually follows the cursor, but when the text comes up it is locked and there's still some text that can't be seen both above and below the fold.
Well... I have a distinct feeling that any non-Basic speaking people just have a standardised voice that sounds *exactly* the same throughout the whole of KOTOR;).
It says in the manual that no subtitles allows for a cinematic experience. It also allows for a more incomprehensible one.
More and more games are being subtitled: Final Fantasy always has been, Metal Gear Solid certainly is, as are broken sword... possibly GTA San Andreas (not sure on that one). Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic. These are the major releases. I see that things like FPS games, sports sims etc. don't have sound so much; but the voices are (in these games,) far from essential for the story to progress (if there is a story)
Ok. That was a slightly silly commment on my part about the controller size and medium:s. I had failed to dig around and look for more information about it.
"The iQue Player is Nintendo's controller-style console that was released in China at November 21, 2003. The console connects directly to the TV and is based on N64 hardware"
"Games for the iQue Player are not available the traditional way, they have to be downloaded to a 64 Mega Byte Flash Cartridge that is included with the system. In order to download games, you had to use one of Nintendo's iQue Depots (KIOSK) in one of China's supermarkets"
By the look of it, it would have been to much easier for Nintendo to repackage an N64 - or just make it smaller. And then give Chinese customers a much bigger software choice by giving them "backwards" compatibiilty with the original cartridges.
Does the iQue use a flash card as its medium? Seems an... unconventional choice.
The controller looks worse than the X-Box's. Do the Chinese have extra large hands or extra fingers?:s
This news story was in The Times about a month ago... I can recall it interviweing some of the people that voted for 1 + 1 = 2 as the best equation.
Euler's was probably the best of them. In itself it seems to show the beauty and... strangeness of math in that three entirely irrational numbers that you'd feel have no link whatsoever can be so intristically linked.
I assumed that it was a quick one...
Umm... perhaps not.
Quantum Bit, perhaps. Just indicating that the register, despite operateing in bits, is a quantum based thing.
Is new technology for wireless broadband transfer necessary? The 802.11 Wi-Fi standard is still being continually improved, and I can't think of any applications in which either 3G or Wi-Fi aren't the most ideal data transfer... things.
Quite possibly. Its hardly as if humans are a necessary presence for a change in climate. If there was an intelligent life form during the ice age, would they have said that it was due to their existance and fumes etc. that the polar caps were recedeing and the atmosphere was warming?
Continual changes in the environment are completely natural, there is not the slightest shred of evidence that human's are the cause.
Mind you, that wasn't implyed.
Perhaps the Amazon has released a portion of its huge CO2 reserves? That's been in the news for years...
It is quite confusing.
I believe that 1.0PR was called 0.10 in order to distinguish it better from 1.0RCs and above. THe program actually calls itself "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10.1", as in 0.10.1, but the "laymans" name is 1.0PR... you could say;)
I use webdeveloper - it certainly is very useful...
I also use session saver, which is a bit like an extremely scaled down Tabbrowser extensions. It has in problem in that if you don't close the main browser window as the last Firefox window, it is extremely hard (well, I haven't found a way) to get Firefox back to opening in a mode that includes any toolbars, an address bar, and from a website that isn't "Sign up for Gmail" (as was the last window that I closed -.-).
Oh - is it just me or doesn't the webpage the article is linked to work at the moment?:S

Should be editable within a couple more hours max - so I believe.

It's still quite big though.

What is the advantage of using caesium?
