thanx

G you didn't answer my fucking question.

Is there any glitches or freezes like the Fallout 3 Game of the Year PS3 edition?

Whys that.

Crystal Dynamics releasing a Tomb Raider trilogy collection for just the PS3 but its not like other remakes or classics done so far on the PS3.

The games being picked for the collection are not from the original PS1 era or the 1st reboot of the franchise but from the 3rd set of games in the series (2nd reboot/retelling). The games included are Tomb Raider Legend, Tomb Raider Anniversary, and Tomb Raider Underworld.

Extras for the collection include trophy support and avatars for PS Home. Also announce for a March 22 release date but no price given.

Only reason no collection is coming to the Xbox 360 or Wii (didn't get Legend) is due to those consoles already have the games in the series while the PS3 only received Underworld.

Tomb Raider Legends was pretty good. I liked the engine a lot.

Secret of Mana is out for the iPhone now :heart:

Secret of Mana is one of the worst games of all time

*sigh*

Just got Bioshock 1 on Steam for $5. Had to Goozex my 360 version because I can't play FPS games with a controller for shit.

Well, the engine is pretty much the gameplay, so...

Did he say he liked it because of the engine?

How a game plays is classically referred to as the 'engine' of the game. These days engine refers to development tools like the Cry Engine, Unreal Engine, or MT Framework. Old fogeys like me still use engine as a term for gameplay, though.

I will use up-to-date terminology on these boards from now on. I forget the lingo isn't standard across the board.

Why did you link me to this crap?

Sorry to hear that. Don't know what to tell you. ...Meet new people?

I could just as easily say I heard engine used as a term for gameplay since forever, but we roll in different circles, yo.

Yeah, I thought engine referred exclusively to the text behind a game. Like the Unreal
Engine ranges from Turd (FFXIII) to awesome (Gears of War).

Epic Games is doing a special promotion for Gears of War 3 where if you've bought and played previous games released by Epic on the Xbox 360, special goodies and content gets unlocked as a gift for Gears of War 3.
It is expected either to be stuff for avatars, multiplayer skins/characters, or weapons similar to pre-ordering most shooters from stores.

In other news, another remake/HD-enhanced collection is arriving to the PS3 next year from Ubisoft and this time its from the Splinter Cell series. The original trilogy is being ported with extras including trophy support and HD-graphics.

This collection will be based off of the PS2/Gamecube set of games and not the Xbox/PC set.

Playing Virtua Fighter. Trying to 'get it'.

Pretty much nailed it, the Engine is just the set of tools given to developers to build the game with. As you say the quality can vary from game to game because while the engine provides you the means to produce a high quality product you still need to actually have the talent to plug that content into the engine and utilise it properly.

You will also have companies utilising different Middleware/Engines for different sections of their games too, pretty sure you've all seen Havoc Physics advertised in games or RAD Sound Tools. The engines are pretty modular in how they work.

A bad engine can result in what should be a good game perhaps not performing as it should. As much as I love it, Fallout 3 suffers a bit from this for some people because it uses the Engine Bethesda used for Oblivion still.

I'm on Gold, by the way. So SSF4, Reach, Assassins Creed, Battlefield BC2 Vietnam, anything but Black Ops right now.

PS3 won't read Disc 4 of Final Fantasy 8 wtf!!!!!!!!!!

You want I should tell you what happens?

What & I will just borrow it from a fiend or download it from playstation network if all else fails

I wouldn't have told you. I was lying again.

Dead Space 2 demo out today for the Xbox 360 Gold Members (PSN had it released yesterday). Its about 1.2 GB in size with the retail game game expected January 2011.

Dead Rising 2 Case West comes out exclusively for the Xbox 360 on December 27 for 800 MS points.

EA announces Valve's Portal 2 set to arrive April 21, 2011 but no news on if a demo will be available or the pricing.

Me and RoXer are having some terrible Virtua Fighter matches.

Lei Fie is my main and I was starting to remember some of his combos near the end there. Not really a combo as much as is pressing back and lb twice. Also couldn't figure out how to get into his stance to do that lunging punch. Love spamming that. And then I started to learn the druken guy near then end before I stopped playing this but didn't remember any of his combos.
