They should have just come out with an inexpensive tablet like everyone else is making, tweaked it with some better game controls and the ability to output it to an HD TV.

this is going to be a failure for Nintendo.

This looks okay, a bit light on the graphic details but I'm really looking forward to this game more.

Perhaps we're focusing too hard on the console controller on the TV thing.

Imagine using "big picture" with leap motion and an oculus rift vr device.

Steam gets consolized. Guess all we'll get from Valve from now on is crappy console ports.

If the adoption and use rate for this "Big Picture" version of Steam gets up to 60% I'm sure publishers will start to focus more on console controller instead of mouse and keyboard for PC ports. Hell, most snub the mouse and keyboard already when they're porting their xbox/ps3 games over.

looking at what they're doing with C&C Generals 2 it seems that they hate single-player games.

some games don't benefit from single-player, battlefield for example.

Nice gesture but won't win over PC gamers, Ubisoft pump and dumps games. You get maybe one patch after release and then nothing.

News Comments > Black Ops 2 Specs; No XP Support
19. Re: No XP support means no Linux support with WINE. Sep 4, 2012, 19:45 DangerDog
 
hb3d wrote on Sep 4, 2012, 19:05:
One negative side effect of killing off XP support in games is that they won't run under Linux with WINE either because WINE doesn't yet support the DirectX10 & 11 API's.

Getting Direct3D10 & 11 functions translated to OpenGL in Linux is certainly possible, but then again the same could also be done via OpenGL in XP.

The Problems We Had With Windows Gaming On Linux

I'm all for geeks doing their thing to make Linux a better OS but attempting to get Windows games to run properly on it seems like a pipe dream.

It doesn't mater much when you still port over maps the size of a shoebox and then try to jam 32 players into them.

But would that work downgrading an OEM version? Seems that you would need to get a downgrade OEM copy from the PC vendor.

I personally only drink Sierra Mist natural anymore, on the off chance I drink soda.

I think we'll be seeing more and more sugared foods as this years corn crop has been pretty devastated. HF Corn Syrup prices are shooting up. They are slaughtering a record number of cows this year because they don't have the corn to feed them (do note that Cows can barely make a year living on corn as it is.) I've started seeing cow-skin rugs and blankets at big-box stores here in NY. Gas prices are rising in large part do to the corn prices as well because of ethanol.

Its times like this that make you realize just how much corn we grow in this country (and how small a part of that crop is edible), and just how many things we use it for.

They'll just use more Franken-sweeteners, cancer be damned!

We probably have enough corn in surplus but due to export agreements we'll suffer the most here at home.

As with earlier downgrade rights, the customer is responsible for obtaining the installation media for the older operating system.

"Neither the manufacturer or installer, nor Microsoft, is obligated to supply earlier versions to you," read the licensing agreement. "You must obtain the earlier version separately."

good luck with that

On a good note, I do like the weapons. They seem even more diverse and interesting than BL1. I've already got this sucker pre-purchased, $33 from greenman gaming (steam unlock). Looking forward to it.

How did you get it for $33? Best I've seen it there is $40.

there's a 25% off code that activates tomorrow on green man gaming, click the "blog" link on their site for the code.

Still enjoying the fringe benefits of HP's decision to dump the Touchpad tablets on the cheap. Works pretty well with Ice Cream Sandwich installed on the thing.

Lacking details, I'm not interested in PvP for this game for example. Extending the single player portion is fine but what kind of content are we talking about?

Maybe they'll sell this "Season Pass" on sites like Green Man Gaming where you can most often knock an extra 20% off the price with a code.

You're assuming that developers of tablet games would include support for controllers (mouse, keyboard, gamepad).

some may but I would bet most wouldn't

The free-2-play model is just such bullshit, all these developers give lip service to the games not being pay-2-win but in the end it's either grind, grind, grind or pay up!


Yea it really sucks how developers all want to make a living wage and shit, fuck those guys! Make me some games bitch! I don't care if you could make ten times as much money with your skill set doing something else! LIVE IN POVERTY LIKE A MAN!

No, but the sooner this "free-2-play" scheme comes to an end the better off we'll be, I'm still a fan of pay once and play whenever you want.
