Comment In: Dead Space 2 To Receive Button Remapping For Disabled Players [News - 02/08/2011 - 08:14]

Easy fix and good publicity ...

Easy fix and good publicity There is an untold story I assume there are many 'disabled' players of some sorts, who would enjoy flexibility with input mapping/devices The touchscreen and controller-free 'revolution' makes many games accessible for 'new' consumers, too. I also remember stories how the Wii is used in ...

Fair enough. Wouldn't it be great though, if some internal publisher numbers and Walmart balance sheets would end up on Wikileaks

Comment In: Playing with Fire: Ethics and Game Design [Feature - 12/01/2010 - 04:35]

I studied Philosophy - ruined ...

I studied Philosophy - ruined me for life. Saying 'technology is morally neutral' is an unproven statement. Technology 'applied for the right purpose' ... 'used for good' - these are all highly problematic, contextually loaded statements. What is the 'right' purpose Used only for 'good' - who decides what morally ...

Comment In: Analysis: You Bet Your Life - Luck In Action Games [News - 11/26/2010 - 04:48]

true' randomness is a non-trivial issue in computing - nobody should use the word lightly define 'luck' - define 'chance' in a not subjective way. I would prefer math notation. See Suddenly, all the discussed game characteristics turn into subjective idiosyncratic anecdotes of one guy.

Comment In: Actor Billy Bob Thornton Blames Video Games For Dearth Of Quality In Hollywood [News - 11/26/2010 - 05:03]

... I still would agree ...

... I still would agree that Hollywood is doing the worst movies right now, though - unless you like the stuff, created for the young target demographic, popcorn eating,texting talking weekend crowds cgi-action lovin' airheads. If you are an adult can hit you above 20 anytime - just wait , ...

...just have read a sarcastic shattering comment from a known game programmer about the overall 'quality' of the game engine , I won't quote, nor name names, of course. GT5's competition, like Microsoft's Turn 10 Studios, Codemasters, etc., it seems, can all sleep sound. If your design idea is to ...

AAA leaving the PC market to Blizzard, Zynga, and the Indies - I can live with that. Tim can freely ...take a dollar out of the 'PC Port Fund' jar - ports killed the PC experience in the first place.

Comment In: 83 Percent Of Mass Effect 2 Players Opted For Male Protagonist [News - 11/24/2010 - 04:54]

Sad to hear another example of the mainstream market majority, confirming the min-effort and arrows-showing-me-the-exit console type ignorant 'gamers'. The point and click adventure seems to have a secret comeback Who could blame Bioware for minimizing the dev costs by cutting off the flesh from their products, if they decide ...

Comment In: Nintendo's Fils-Aime: 'Apple Can Hurt Us More Than Microsoft' [News - 10/25/2010 - 02:44]

Smart phones are a direct threat to the DS. 1 Reggie and Nintendo are smart enough to understand the 'attention economy' we all live in: next to money, the most valuable thing is our time 2 Kids and parents will ALL have a smart phone in the next decade or ...
