заминусуйте новость. она фанбойская. [url=http://xbox360.thegamereviews.com/story-2051-Dead-Space-Early-Adopters-Get-ConsoleExclusive-Duds.html]http://xbox360.thegamereviews.com/story ... -Duds.html[/url] Just in case you needed more reason to pick up Dead Space, the new sci-fi survival-horror game from EA that promises to make you change pants at least twice per play session, the publisher has announced that anyone buying the game within the first two weeks of release will be able to access special limited-edition suits for the game’s protagonist. 360 owners can download the Xbox-themed Elite suit, while PS3 owners will be granted access to the PlayStation-themed Obsidian suit. Unfortunately, PC owners are getting left out in the cold, as this is a console promotion only, so you’ll be stuck with the same old boring outfit Isaac starts the game with. насчет рс правда не совсем еще ясно. ибо давно но уже в этом году: [url=http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=90809]http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=90809[/url] EA has confirmed that Dead Space will appear on PC, and says downloadable content for all three versions is under way.

"As for how the 10 new franchises spaced out over the next few years, the company confirmed that it would be fairly evenly over the 2009, 2010, and 2011 fiscal years, revealing that the BioWare MMO currently in development at BioWare Austin is planned towards the back half of that three year outlook." эта цитата вроде немного по другому говорит о франчайзах и годах выпуска чем то что сказано в новости. а вообще жалко конечно. мультиплатформа следующих частей масс эффекта - не самое страшное что может случиться с серией под крылом еа.

Perhaps PC games should adopt a subscription only method, he said, or perhaps it should be a requirement to connect to the Internet to finish installing (something that certain Steam games already require). Or, he proposed, the drastic measure of abandoning PC entirely and going to consoles. He gave a few key examples of that happening, like Halo from Bungie and Epic's Unreal and Gears of War franchises. т.е. уход с рс - один из возможных методов, но никак не самый единственный. притом странные ссылки на хало и ГоВ которые вышли/выйдут на рс. а вот тут: [url=http://www.joystiq.com/2007/03/09/id-software-ceo-piracy-pushed-us-multiplatform/]http://www.joystiq.com/2007/03/09/id-so ... iplatform/[/url] During his speech, Hollenshead revealed that, although they are still primarily a PC developer, id Software had begun to look at console game releases as a way to financially combat piracy. "Piracy has pushed id as being multiplatform," Hollenshead said, noting that the current project Enemy Territory: Quake Wars is being scheduled for release on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. ничего про уход с рс нету вообще. и, надо отметить, единственная цитата(а не пересказ журналистов) в обеих статьях - только про мультиплатформенность.

"Since we're going with three territories, we haven't really come up with an allocation just yet," he said. "But even if you do the simple math you're talking about less than 700,000 units per territory, per major territory between launch and the end of the year. So even if there was some fluctuation--you give Japan more, you give the US more, what have you--you're going to end up with some shortages."

Казалось бы, после того как Sony объявила о прекращении выпуска дисков с DRM-защитой, на этой истории можно поставить точку. Но у ребят из First4Internet, делающих эту защиту, обнаружилось просто фантастическое умение выращивать грабли на ровном месте и тут же на них с треском наступать. Как известно, практически в самом начале этого скандала Sony предоставила своим пользователям возможность удалить защитный софт, предварительно заполнив форму на своем веб-сервере. При этом на машину пользователя скачивается и устанавливается ActiveX-компонент от First4Internet, названный CodeSupport, который и проделывает работу по удалению. Прелесть ситуации заключается в том, что CodeSupport остается в системе и после завершения своей работы. Причем любой сайт может использовать его для загрузки и исполнения любого кода - он не проверяет, что скачиваемый код исходит от Sony или First4Internet, а заодно помечен как безопасный для использования в скриптах, так что все это будет проделано незаметно для пользователя. По очень предварительным оценкам число систем, зараженных CodeSupport, может достигать полумиллиона. Нет слов.

First, a baseline. When you buy a regular CD, you own it. You do not "license" it. You own it outright. You're allowed to do anything with it you like, so long as you don't violate one of the exclusive rights reserved to the copyright owner. So you can play the CD at your next dinner party (copyright owners get no rights over private performances), you can loan it to a friend (thanks to the "first sale" doctrine), or make a copy for use on your iPod (thanks to "fair use"). Every use that falls outside the limited exclusive rights of the copyright owner belongs to you, the owner of the CD. Now compare that baseline with the world according to the Sony-BMG EULA, which applies to any digital copies you make of the music on the CD: If your house gets burgled, you have to delete all your music from your laptop when you get home. That's because the EULA says that your rights to any copies terminate as soon as you no longer possess the original CD. You can't keep your music on any computers at work. The EULA only gives you the right to put copies on a "personal home computer system owned by you." If you move out of the country, you have to delete all your music. The EULA specifically forbids "export" outside the country where you reside. You must install any and all updates, or else lose the music on your computer. The EULA immediately terminates if you fail to install any update. No more holding out on those hobble-ware downgrades masquerading as updates. Sony-BMG can install and use backdoors in the copy protection software or media player to "enforce their rights" against you, at any time, without notice. And Sony-BMG disclaims any liability if this "self help" crashes your computer, exposes you to security risks, or any other harm. The EULA says Sony-BMG will never be liable to you for more than $5.00. That's right, no matter what happens, you can't even get back what you paid for the CD. If you file for bankruptcy, you have to delete all the music on your computer. Seriously. You have no right to transfer the music on your computer, even along with the original CD. Forget about using the music as a soundtrack for your latest family photo slideshow, or mash-ups, or sampling. The EULA forbids changing, altering, or make derivative works from the music on your computer. So this is what Sony-BMG thinks we should be allowed to do with the music on the CDs that we purchase from them? No word yet about whether Sony-BMG will be offering a "patch" for this legalese rootkit. I'm not holding my breath. Posted by Fred von Lohmann at 12:24 PM | Permalink | Technorati

в новости приведенной ниже никаких ссылок как видите нету - потому относиться каждый к ней может как хочет. все равно до выхода зы3 точно не узнаем. [url=http://www.securitylab.ru/news/242070.php?R1=RSS&R2=allnews]http://www.securitylab.ru/news/242070.p ... R2=allnews[/url] 16 ноября, 2005 На днях Sony зарегистрировала патент на технологию, которая не позволит пользователям про-давать, дарить и даже обменивать однажды запущенные диски. На других устройствах те про-сто не будут работать. Существуют две версии применения новой технологии: диски с играми для PlayStation 3 и фильмы на дисках формата Blu-ray. Система защиты контента построена следующим образом. На диске записывается некоторый код авторизации, который удаляется будучи однажды прочитанным, что делает диск нечитаемым на всех остальных устройствах. Подобная перспектива навряд ли кажется радужной кому-то кроме самой Sony. Компания разом лишает пользователей права распоряжаться своей собственностью. Включение технологии в состав PS3 автоматически ставит крест на вторичном рынке игр, на котором многие люди зара-батывают, пусть небольшие, но все же деньги. В конце концов, элементарно станет невозможно обмениваться играми с друзьями. Среди авторов технологии в тексте патента упомянут сам глава Sony Кен Кутараги, что указы-вает на исход инициативы внедрения защиты от самых верхов руководства компании. Подоб-ные меры, вкупе с разгоревшимся вокруг противоречивой DRM-защиты Sony скандалом, могут серьезно поколебать позиции PlayStation 3 как одной из самых ожидаемых игровых консолей.

о! появилося! Full transcript of John Carmack's QuakeCon 2005 Keynote [url=http://www.beyond3d.com/forum/showthread.php?t=22648]http://www.beyond3d.com/forum/showthread.php?t=22648[/url] текст сюда постить не буду - там его слишком дофига. если кому интересно - может почитать.

вот кстати еще одна цитатка: [url=http://www.gameinformer.com/News/Story/200508/N05.0813.0019.25195.htm]http://www.gameinformer.com/News/Story/ ... .25195.htm[/url] Overall, Carmack said that he wasn’t really happy with multi-core development, and that the returns initially will be disappointing. “The Xbox 360 has an architecture where you essentially have got three processors and they’re all running the same memory pool and they’re all synchronized, and cache coherent, and you can spawn off another thread in your program and make it go do some work. That’s kind of the best case and it’s still really difficult to turn into faster performance or getting it to get more stuff done in a game title.” While in his speech he said that this would all make developing games more time consuming and more difficult, he seemed to favor Microsoft over Sony. “Is the performance benefit that you get out of this worth the extra development time? There’s sort of an inclination to believe that, and there’s some truth to it, that Sony sort of takes this position where, ‘okay it’s going to be difficult, maybe its going to suck to do this, but the good game developers are going to suck it up and make it work.’ There’s some truth to that. There will be the developers that go ahead and have a miserable time and do get good performance out of some of these multi-core approaches. And Cell is worse than others in some respects, here. But I do somewhat question whether we might have been better off in this generation having an out-of-order main processor rather than splitting it all up in these multi-processors. It’s probably a good thing for us that we’re getting with the program now. The first generation of titles coming out for both platforms will not be anywhere close to taking full advantage of all of this extra capability. But, maybe by the time the next generation of consoles roll around the developers will be a little more comfortable with all this and be able to get more benefit out of it. It’s not a problem I actually think will have a solution. I think it’s going to stay hard.”

вот кстати полная цитата если кому интересно: [url=http://www.gameinformer.com/News/Story/200508/N05.0813.1950.27388.htm]http://www.gameinformer.com/News/Story/ ... .27388.htm[/url] GI: The one thing that I kind of got out of it yesterday was that he seemed happier with Microsoft, and not too thrilled with Sony and the Cell technology. Do you think that’s accurate? TH: I think that’s accurate. I’m not really one to put words in John’s mouth but what I do know is we’ve had 360 stuff for a while and it was relatively easy to bring our internal project onto 360. We just got the PS3 stuff recently and it was relatively more difficult to bring that up on the PS3. So John’s first impressions are, “360 great, PS3 – pain in my ass.” I think the more we work with it - I don’t know if John himself will be doing the primary PS3 work or not - but we’ll have to see about that stuff. Also, 360 is further along in their process as well. They have more final hardware, and they have better drivers, and the SDK has been more refined and revised. I think the PS3 stuff, in all fairness to Sony is a little bit more raw. I think we’ll have to wait and see, but I don’t think that’s going to ultimately change the way we’re going to approach developing on PS3. He knows from a technology horsepower standpoint that it’ll do everything that we want it to do, so we’re committed to it.
