Comment Too Expensive (Score 1) 435

by ShAkE_a82 (#39352093) Attached to: Can $60 Games Survive?
Few of the games i am really looking forward to, I pre-order only when they are available for $45-47 range. Once I am done with it, I sell it off on Glyde or Ebay. The rest of them, I buy on ebay when they are available near $35. That is a more sustainable model for me because I end up spending only $10-15 per game, getting most of my money back by selling the game back and holding on to the few that i really like. I know this does not help the developer but I just cannot afford $60 per game. I do know that if the games where priced more reasonably around $45, I would buy more games immediate after release instead of waiting for the price to go down in the resale market though that might not be true for most people.

Flexible it may be but i think it will still need some sort of insulation on top to avoid short circuits and runs and pulled threads. I cannot imagine it being integrated into a fabric right on top in the open with lasting functionality

The Making of Mirror's Edge 27

Posted by Soulskill from the behind-the-scenes-acrobatics dept.
1Up is running a feature about the development of Mirror's Edge, which comes out in November. Two of the developers talk about how they sold the concept for the game to studio execs, and how that concept has changed over the past few years. They also provide an early proof-of-concept video demonstrating some of the gameplay. "When you're doing something that's quite different like this, it's very easy for people to say, 'Oh, but couldn't you do it in third-person as well?' or 'Couldn't you put guns in as well?' or 'Couldn't we have vehicles as well?' And I think the reason we got to where we are is because we stuck to our guns, or lack of guns. [Laughs] We have kept the purity of the core mechanic. And I think that is why it is as good as it is now, because we just focused on that in a very blinkered way and didn't let ourselves get distracted."

The Pirate Bay About To Relaunch Suprnova.org 285

Posted by CowboyNeal from the but-for-how-long dept.
kungfujesus writes "The Pirate Bay crew has been working on this secret project for quite some time now. Back in April they wrote a cryptic post on their blog announcing that something was coming. In a response to this announcement TPB admin Brokep told TorrentFreak: "The past, the present and the future. It's all the same, but one thing's for sure, we will radiate for weeks", today it became clear that he was referring to the resurrection of Suprnova."

Feed Engadget: Google getting more serious about the Gphone? (engadget.com)

Rumors about about a possible Google phone have run so hot and cold recently that it's hard to keep up, but AppleInsider is reporting that the big G is making a big push in developing their own handset. AI says that investment guidance firm Anian has issued a report quoting a development budget in the "hundreds of millions" of dollars and that HTC is being tapped to build a Linux-based Gphone to be launched on T-Mobile in the US in early 2008, with Orange getting the exclusive in France and other countries. Anian also says Google has been in talks with Verizon and AT&T, and that Verizon has already shot the big G down -- much like it did with Apple and the iPhone. As always, rumors are just rumors, so we'll wait and see, but it's hard to ignore the amount of buzz that the Gphone's been getting.
