  1. Re:No one? on Does 3D Make Your Head Happy Or Ache? · · Score: 1

    Admittedly it used very subtly in SSF4 but you can see it. If you look closely you will see that the characters arms are on a different level of depth to their bodies, which are out in front of the hummers and hippos which in turn, are in front of the shakey cardboard backdrops. It's the same old 2D game but played out in a 3D setting. If you can't actually see the 3D effect then turn the 3D off or stick with a DSI.

    I have got a 3DS and SSF4 and the 3D effect is amazing. It really looks like the characters have taken on a solid form and are wandering around behind the screen. It requires no glasses and i have had no trouble playing it for half hour straight (one round of arcade). Frankly if they could scale the size of the screen up to monitor size it would be great. Just think if your fave FPS was in 3D. The HUD would sit on the front of the screen and the other players would be running around behind the screen. It would add a whole new level of realism. 2D is always going to look like watching something on TV. Of course it's not true 3D as you cant peer round the back of things on screen but it really does add to the experience.

    This is why you can never compare games and movies. A movie comes out and you pay top whack to see it in the cinema. Initial DVD release is 6 months later and after a year it is mid price. After 5 years it is in the bargain bin and after 10 it is in a box set. It is not making as much, but it is still making money 10 years later. Now compare that to games. Apart from RPGs (mass effect, etc) most games are dead within the year. Certainly all the 09, 10, 11 sports games are. If games were around longer they would sell more. Ask Steam.

    Do you really want to see those classic golden age Disney movies f***ed to within an inch of their lives? It is only because Disney knows it can sell them for a nth time that you get the nice DVD\Blu-Ray\(probable)3D masters that we get now. Believe me, if someone thinks they can make a few quid selling a box set of TV ripped DVDs then they will probably try it.

    In all honesty Google is an advertising company these days. The more of your time that they have, the more ads they can stick on screen. Same with TV. Most of the big commercial networks make programs that the advertisers want, not particularly programs of any great worth. Just entertaining enough so you don't surf when the ads come on.

    Nope, the whole point of FF is that it's a browser that does the same stuff as other browsers but better. I am sure the average Joe just runs it "straight out the box". In which case it is a missing feature.

    How about someone set up a bunch of FB user accounts and post login details here and then we (all who don't use FB) log on as them. Let's skew their data. Do you think they can account for a user logged into 5 countries at the same time, liking random things?

    Since I discovered it, I feel 4chan is one of the last remnants of the old internet. It is still fairly obscure, populated by some fairly sick individuals but seems to have an effect than a few nerds on an IRC channel would. I used to read 2600 but lets face it, a hacking mag you can buy in Borders. Most of the articles boiled down to ever more elaborate ways to reprogramme your router. Due to the distributed nature you never know what 4chan will come up with next. Long may it reign.

  21. Re:Braindead Hollywood on Why Video Game Movie Adaptations Need New Respect · · Score: 1

    Thing is they may want to make a trilogy but we may never see the last one. The only way to make big films these days is to do a few of them back to back. that runs the risk of committing to three films when you don't know how well the first one will do. The third Narnia film got canned, dropped by the studio and picked up by another studio. despite the first few films making big bucks.
