2K Games says it "has realigned its resources to streamline the development process, reduce costs and maximize studio performance."

Why don't these people ever use the truth? "The studio was losing money so we had to cut some positions."

There. that wasn't so hard.


"They're losing money?! Quick, sell all our stock and sack the board at the next AGM!"

Hey, none of your intelligent, considered comments in here Beamer, this is the internet. Impotent anger at the clear injustices in one's simplified, black and white world perspective is what we expect.

That's not what he is saying at all. If they didn't want to offend anyone, they wouldn't have guns in it. Your argument seems to be that they are dumbing down, and then you list a series of ways they could dumb it down more, yet you depict these as ludicrous - implying that it is far from dumbed down. You fail at straw man arguing.

As for shooting prostitutes in DXHR, I don't think prostitutes register as innocent civilians to the sort of people who would make a fuss about this (an attitude which should deserve controversy).

I'm surprised. Better to court the controversy. Why pay for ads when Fox News will advertise it for free?

I think he's saying war is bad - to be honest, a triple negative is more than my brain can parse this early in the morning (well, afternoon).

To be fair, long and repetitive shifts doing voice work probably is more work than his normal jobs, writing sitcoms (The Office, Extras) and appearing in some crap comedies (Extras, Invention of Lying). I still think it's a negotiation ploy but WTH.

I'm sure the hooker I just passed in Deus Ex:HR is voiced by Pam from Archer (Amber Nash, whose name sounds like a character from No One Lives Forever).

EDIT: Actually, Nash is the name of the NOLF rip-off used in 3D Mark. The lead character from NOLF? Archer. Whoa!

I suspect he is in contract negotiations with Valve and is playing hard to get. Maybe this is because it's football transfer deadline day, but public announcements like this are suspicious.

Can you add the 5th clue to the article please? It would help to have them together but they're not worth individual news items any more.

He's referring to the talk about The Secret World beta that someone mentioned, it requires a Facebook account - and again, it's the false sense of entitlement. Don't like it? Don't play it. The Secret World developers don't owe you a game.

Anyway, they can take their message and shove it where it belongs. Waste of time.
Damn right, the idiots said they had an anouncement, not the shite going on now/

I believe the exact words were "special message" not a "news announcement."

^D^

Typical false sense of entitlement that appears on the internet. I expected a message announcing DLC, which it could be, but they are stringing it out in a way that suits the game and ultimately, suits themselves and what's wrong with that? (Also, as you say, it was a "special message" and what did we get? A "special message".)

On behalf of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, I apologise for this miserable list. Sims sims and more sims, no Deux Ex. At least Football Manager is still riding high but otherwise, that is a really depressing list.

I don't give a lot of credence to pre-release reviews any more. What did the site do to get an advance copy? Probably nothing, but possibly a guarantee of 90+ score.

I don't play any game for graphics, but I still like my games to look good. However, that benchmarker is so awful, nothing he says is worth any consideration. Games from 1993? The engine won't have a single line of 1993 code remaining in it. Did HL1 even use the Source engine, wasn't that developed for HL2? Is he really trying to say DX:HR looks as good (i.e. as dated) as Half-Life anyway? WTF?

I just reinstalled DX1 - it asked me if I wanted to copy stuff off the CD. Ha, that takes me back!
