digg is about the articles ?
you mean the 2 lines sentences and the link that a page ? that's an article ?
that's what digg is. a list of links to ign, wired, endgadget and such.
i didnt say all games.
i said most.
just as a lot of x360 games were postponned, it will happen with the ps3.
that's all. and yes the tech issues are something you worry on one side of the office, while others are worrying about gameplay on the other side.
actually, i correct my self
x360 dev kits were shitty... until september 2005.
that's 1 month before the release. until then the boxes were terrible.
so sony has time to polish anything they want.
and devs dont wait till the kits are ready to roll, they program as they want, with their polynumbers/framerate objectives in mind.
and im' sure most of ps3 games are still at their gamedesign state, so the techs and specs will come later.
the first insider screens i saw for the wii were back in september '05.
and they looked exactly like the red steel ubisoft screens shown at the e3.
graphics will be the last thing nintendo / dev will worry about.
as much as it's easy to play, the WII is easy to dev on. yes
but it's a HELL for gamedesigner and playtesters.
it is indeed HARD to design a game for wii.
before you had to worry about buttons and that's it.
now you have to worry about the player moving his hand.
seriously, as much as i love nintendo, i don't see any third parties games making it at first.
only the nintendo release will be solid enough in their design.
rss >> i don't wanna go to the website, i wanna read the title of the news first, then i will decide if it's worth opening the page, waiting 3.5 seconds for it to load, and actually read the goddamn thing.
blogs >> giving a voice to the stupid, the ulgy, the stupid. I remember days when only the smart ones and the ones who knew were allowed to speak online. i was 12 then.
flickr, youtube, fakebook.. >> i don't know what's the saddest here. normal people starting to act like nerds and living their lives online, or did i start the internet too soon, and at 23 i'm just too oldschool ?
blogoshpere >> is it just me or do blogs talk about... blogs. they're all posting news they read on... blogs. i've surprised myself clickin on blogs posts and links, and after 7 or 8 clicks i was still reading a blog news about that thing the first one was talking about... but didnt get to the source story yet... i wonder if there is a source story anyway..
ajax >> cause loading a page is so long. did they hear about flash ? yeah javascript is waht we need....
basically, i see the web just closing on itself.
everything goes on this path now.
bookmarks online, share this, share that, you found a funny video that's great,
the internet used to be a window on the real world, now it's just a window on itself, sad thing, the internet sucks and there is nothing in there.
I like how it was actually discovered by a french scientist and the specie is now in Paris... but the news says "American-led divers"... patriotism...... not fetch. biased ? sike.
What is the point of hiding your *oh-so-trendy* ipod in a case or in your pocket ? aren't these objects meant to be seend and shown?
i mean, the little white earphones aren't enough, now you have to show the world that you have the NANO not just the poor people mini ipod ?
i understand, but maybe you come on slashdot, you like video games....
Im talking about the basic psp buyers....
i have to admit that the psp can find be fun for long trips (regarding the games it has - home console games)
but for short trip, subway and stuff like that, my DS is the bomb, and it's black:)
i wonder how many of your friends actually use their psp outside of their house ?
if yes, where ?
i'm telling you all, psp, all over the world, are staying at home.
The problem is not the device, it's the people who will use it. they don't need it. They don't play and they have a social life, when will they use a PSP ? during their yearly train trip ! so fun ! yeah !
PSP
Out of the 185,000 person that bought the PSP in the Uk, or the 100,000 that bought it in France.... 80% of them will have it somewhere in a drawer, full of dust and won't touch the object in like 1 month. Why ? because the people that are attracted and targeted by the PSP are NOT GAMERS. They are 30, they're rich, they dont really play games (or maybe some Soccer game once in while with their friends). When they go places they go with people, and they talk to these people. It is as simple as that, they don't have the life that goes with nomad electronic. they arent geeks. I have my nintendo ds, and i already have trouble finding time to play because... i have a life.... and i LOVE video games (i work for ubi soft). I still find times to play my DS on the subway. i open it, turns on in 2 sec, game loads in 3, i play, it's fun rapidly, turn it off. I'm at work. I am 22, and i don't care popping out a hgaming device in the subway. The average joe that will buy the PSP won't play in the subway. Never. And if he tried, the loading times, the game type (i mean, who wants to play GTA during a 7mins35 seconds subway ride...) will sure make this attempt the last one...
The PSP does not fit its target life The PSP does not match the way it's supposed to be used. It's seeling, because it's sony, and because the device is very impressive (i have to admit, but all our psp here at my job, are laying on the tables, nodody is using them). Now i just hope that Nintendo Wifi Connection will be as good as they want it to be (meaning, seamless for users)
Well just to help you : Kirby canvas Curves and Advance Wars DS are both genius gaming experience.
back to the PSP.

I did buy the RIO MP300... the first mass market mp3 player i think... it was fun... i was the king of the school:) - i remember i wanted to get a taiwanese (mpman?) player weeks before because it was sooner, but i did wait for the rio to come out...still one of the first:) - and now, 22 years old, i dont want an ipod (i wanted one 8 years ago i guess ! ), i dont care for mp3 players anymore (i got these cheap 256mb usb keys - ahha) .
mp3 players... that's so 8 years ago, who does that now ?:)
we have to admit that the ipod killed them all. and it's a shame. i can't stand ipods. "they're so hip and cool with their complicated shoes " (g. costanza ) -
i am now very sure that i don't need any mp3 players. i have realized that they're useless. there are computers everywhre i go (work, home) and these are the place i would listen to music at.
on transport ? i play or talk to people.
Mp3 players are what's making kids and people asocial.
well it's just sad that other people (kids?) have ruined it for you.
basically they are putting you away from the movies, and they are putting you back in your house. they're the boss ?
and, also, annoyed by talking/stupid/cellphone kids ?... you are going to the Wrong movies my friend...:)
Obsolete ?
do people really have lost the will to just GO OUT ?
they wanna do EVERYTHING AT HOME ?
i know movie tickets can be expensive, but the everning is very enjoyable.
Theater is not only the time IN the theater, it's a whole package: the drive, the wait, being with other people, the fact that it's a social event... it works on a lot of emotions.
i have difficulties going to the movies, cause they just all suck right now, i have to find small theater airing Ozu's films or old stuff like that, but once in a while a big mainstream movie comes out that is good (land of the dead...) and a theater-night is great.
and i like the fact that a PLASMA TV HOME THEATER owner is complaining about the ticket price...
Slashdot Mirror
i would say that

Mr. Baron Montesquieu, Charles de Secondat of his real name , in his Persian Letters started it all.

funny. i had the same movies on when i flew paris-nyc a month ago .. wierd. and useless.
there is no point in judgin a dev kit. x360 kits were shitty too.
