Well, my dialup line is slow so I'm just gonna' let all you tell me how the video looks.

The rough description has me thinking "Blade Runner" which is always good in my book.

Whatcha' think?

So it's finally time for release of "little BC" as we call it. Tomorrow it will be available on XBL and on Thursday on PSN and downloadable for PC.

First review: http://xboxlive.ign.com/articles/897/897976p1.html

Sadly I didn't get in the credits on this one as apparently they needed no TA support... *what the hell was I doing over there all those times...* Tongue

Enjoy.

IGN (amongst others) got some stuff up in the project being worked on in Grin's Barcelona studio, and some parts in the main office in Stockholm.

It's the game for the blockbuster movie, WANTED.

It was shown in action yesterday at E3, but the reporters have still not been given a hands on test.

 Nexon.net is coming out with a FREE FPS Shooter. It is called Combat Arms. There are 2 game play modes:

Elimination (Deathmatch)
Team Alpha vs Team Bravo. Each enemy kill is worth 1 point. First team to reach the preset kill score wins.

Search And Destroy
One team plants an detonates a bomb. The other team defends bomb sites. (ie. Counter Strke type play)

Maps
There will be 4 maps to start with.

Warhead
Pump Jack
Junk Flea
Gray Hammer

The game also features an award system that gives its best players in-game currency and experience points to buy and acquire new equipment and weapons. For people who prefer the company of real people as opposed to computer controlled goons, there’s also an emphasis on community...

Universal studios will be producing a movie version of Bioshock.  Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean films) will be directing, with John Logan ("Gladiator" and "Sweeney Todd") writing the screenplay.

Stating that "The market was too narrow for it to be a viable business choice," Ubisoft has backed out of the tactical shooter genre, effectively ending the Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon series of games.

It's been a little over a month since Nvidia bought AGEIA Technologies... And what we've all known for a long time has now finally come to happen. No more physics cards.

Quote
The physics card as a hardware device will die. Nvidia spokespersons were very precise about that as they said that the current PhysX cards will be the first and the last of their kind.

This is the title of my little mod project for GRAW2. I've had a few different topics on this, but figured it would be best to gather it all up into one and will keep posting in this one.

The mod will change some things around to say the least. It will also try and add or tweak minor features that the community has asked for.

Among other things it includes:
- Increased draw distance from 150 to 300 meters and adjusted AI for it

- New MP classes and kits
http://www.theplatoon.com/forum/modding-general/graw2-custom-classes-and-kits/0/
- Adjusted SP kits and class restrictions
