Morning Revival
by Nick Breckon, Feb 27, 2008 1:34am PSTLet's blame all that weirdness on Steve and move on with our lives, shall we?
Should be a considerably more interesting day today, with Aaron's Patapon review, Faylor's Fallen Empires: Legion hands-on preview, and Replay Couch 15 lined up for entertainment. But then, who needs gaming entertainment when you have multisync posts?
I changed my mind. Shut it all down, Steve.

Minecraft for Xbox 360 dev working on 'Adventure' update
Exit the game, it crashes. Alt+tab, it locks up. Accidentally hit the Windows key, it locks up. Have some message service pop up (in my case, HP updater), locks up. I realize Vista is only a year old now, but you think you could get the damn thing to run right in it?

Turns out it tastes like a beer milkshake sorta. Its my favorite beer so far. It goes down like water and just tastes so god damn good compared to anything else I've tried.
So.. if you're afraid of Guiness because its too dark or something, don't be. Do yourself a favor and try some from the tap.

Keep in mind, since its my first project and I'm also just learning how to code, if I do something complex like FFT engine, it will be severely dubbed down :)

Except for the fact that when you actually play the sheet music pictured in the comic, it's Rick Astley's 'Never Gonna Give You Up. Good show XKCD, good show.

Not only did UT3 Senior Producer Jeff Morris point to the obvious UI issues -- which Epic's President Mike Capps described simply as "fucked" -- but he also revealed that a lot of the polish the company wanted to put into the title was simply not possible thanks to the constricting deadlines they had created for themselves by opting for a planned simultaneous PC and PS3 release.
I'd like to thank Michael Capps for finally agreeing with the opinion of the UT3 UI that I and many other PC gamers developed after playing the demo three months ago. Unfortunately, it's probably a bit too late to do much of anything about it. They gave up the dream of synchronizing patches between PS3 and PC a few months before release, and yet they haven't developed a UI for UT3 PC that's on par with UT2003 or UT99.
And surprise surprise, the single-player campaign was rushed and half-assed. Most of us are wondering why they wasted time on a single-player campaign aspiring to be like a Hollywood screenplay, when a simple tourney ladder would've worked with less bravado and hubris.
Along the lines of http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/51516 , they'll probably never get rid of the GameSpy ID requirement, but that's probably not helping much for the UT3 PC numbers. Personally, one of the reasons why I'm not buying UT3 PC is so I don't end up implicitly supporting the "Corporate Community Killers". But hey, anonymous PC gaming is dead, right?
My final thoughts: UT3 PC is a relatively good game trapped in a bad shell. And it took Epic 3 months after release to realize that.

"Back in 1982, the Japanese company Namco produced Pac-Man for $100,000. Now, the average PlayStation 3 title is estimated to cost $15m. Even after adjusting for inflation, that is still a significant rise. While production costs have tripled in recent years with the introduction of next-gen consoles, sales and revenue have hardly changed."
But games are still too expensive right guys?
