Yeah, as Loaf mentioned, the EU market is a bit different; Sony have traditionally done very well here (and have a massive PS1/2 install base) even though we tend to get ranked third in preference after Japan and the US and generally shafted on price/availability. Microsoft built-up a decent...

Looking good, guys! :) The credit sequence is really slick in an understated way; I really liked the list of corporations and their logo's at the end in the vein of most feature film credits, eg. Kodak Eastman, Pacific Title logos, etc.

Yeah, that's the one.

Wasn't the TCS Wolfhound mentioned as lost/destroyed in some of the bar tender dialogue in Privateer?

Heh, awesome. An hey, there's T'Pol! Is that a mech at the end of the trailer? Is this slated to have a cinematic release or is it going straight-to-DVD like the second one?

No worries. While a stable PSU has always been a requirement, over the past five years in particular, with multiple graphics card configurations and climbing thermal envelopes on CPUs, a good PSU has now become a vital component in an enthusiast system and should rank as the top priority when...

Was your Delta PSU pulled from an OEM system, like a Dell desktop or something? I'm not sure how well regarded they are generally -- they may be perfectly fine, as a lot of PSUs are rebadged Tiawanese designs, but often the wattage can be misleading with lower quality PSU's claiming X Watts...

You're right about the generic gamer slant, which is bound to make up a lot of the noise in a story like this, especially when fairly juicy correspondence (in as much as corporate justification can be!) emerges in the way it has as wholly private discussions broke down. However, while EA can...

Dead Space looks quite interesting -- I picked up a copy of PC Zone recently and they had a spread on it -- it's been announced that it's coming out on Halloween this year. Take Two are doing just about everything they can to resist that at present and seem to want at least delay the...

The primary difference between Vista x86 (32-bit) and Vista 64-bit is the addressable memory space: Vista 64 allows up to 128GB RAM (with Vista Ultimate) and 16GB currently with Home Premium 64. The other benefit is that your 64-bit Core 2 or Athlon 64 gets to run in a 64-bit operating...

I believe that if you've got 4GB of RAM installed on Windows XP 32-bit or Vista 32-bit, your maximum addressable memory will be 3.5GB. The install problem you described could be motherboard related as your search suggested: some chipsets and motherboards often require the latest BIOS updates if...

Surfer Girl Update:

Yeah, the Starbreeze engine was pretty advanced for Riddick on the Xbox and then PC (in late 2004): IIRC it was one of first games to use soft shadows and could really bring a high-end rig of the day down to its knees. Whatever Starbreeze have been working on should be neat as Riddick was a...

Starbreeze Studios mention Project RedLime in their end of 2007 report (pdf; released yesterday). There's this line on P.4: which translates as: There's also a paragraph on P.3 which seems to expand on the publishing arrangement:

Project RedLime? From Shacknews: There must be a bunch of them, but apart from Wing Commander, none of EA's other "most acclaimed classic franchises" that need to be reinvigorated spring to mind; it could be an earlier console original perhaps? However, at the moment, I'm more skeptical of...

Ugh, it's release date has been pushed back to 8th May, 2009. :( You would think they could have sorted this out before they released the teaser. Anyway, I suppose it gives them more time to polish up the effects.

Thanks for the link -- I'm going to check out the HD stream now.

Sure, but as the one holding the purse strings, EA seemed to have ultimate sanction of individual projects and in reigning in overspend/etc. I still think the admission is pretty significant, even if it's only part of the spin of EA's current turn-around strategy. Nice. Good to know that...

Just caught this on Firingsquad; the original Wired article is here. Anyway, I think it's interesting that EA have fronted up to this now and together with the way Riccitiello was reported to have championed the Bioware purchase against some internal EA resistance seems to point to a...

It keeps getting better, Howard! :D I pity the Kat that takes a direct hit from one of those turrets... they're huge! I think this shot really puts them in perspective. Also in that shot, do the launch bays have dual (redundant?) force fields? The engines ooze raw power; the layout reminds...
