Evening Reading

Namco Bandai's IGNITE event in San Francisco turned out to be pretty interesting, full of new game announcements for 2011 and beyond. Some of the biggest news stemmed from the publisher's new relationship with From Software. In fact, the event kicked off with new trailers for Armored Core V and Dark Souls, which are making their way around the internet now. Those attending the event were even treated to a live demo of some Dark Souls gameplay, which (fans of Demon's Souls will be pleased to note) seems to be headed down the path of the bigger, better, and more devious.

And don't worry, while Dark Souls is a spiritual successor to Demon's Souls, rather than a direct sequel, we've been promised more of the hardcore, tactical-action based hack-and-slash that made the first game such a breakthrough success. The developers also seemed to quite proud to continue the tradition of killing you repeatedly, explaining that they expect some players to "start laughing because they're dying so much."

I'll chat with Garnett and Jeff about it a bit more on this Friday's episode of Weekend Confirmed, so tune in for more details.

And, in case you missed it:

YOU KNOW WHAT?

i think crytek was too much ahead of its time, crysis should have been released this year, not 3-4 years ago.

i also think that there still isnt a single game that come close to how fucking good crysis looks, both indoors and OUTDOORS

hmm?

Hey guys, how about a useful windows utilities thread.?
Every time these pop up I find at least one utility that's cool enough to keep. I'll start:

ObjectDock Fences:
http://www.stardock.com/products/fences/
Love this utility for keeping the desktop clutter free and organized by games, utilities, etc. I'm not sure if it's a feature of windows 7 or fences but you can simply double click an empty part of the desktop and it will hide everything but the wallpaper. Double click again restores them.

PS3 Media Server:
http://ps3mediaserver.blogspot.com/
The best uPnP media server in my opinion. I believe the transcoding algorithm is faster than tversity and seems to support a lot more formats. Works fine with my xbox.

KMplayer:
http://kmplayer.en.softonic.com/
After losing my mind with bugs in VLC, a shacker recommended this one to me. After trying several, I stayed with KM. It's very lightweight, has a pleasing UI, and VERY user friendly to adjust settings. Love this as a video player.

iTunesKey:
http://www.mattberube.com/software/iTunesKeys/
If you use iTunes like me, this utility is real handy to set universal hotkeys for iTunes shortcuts while you're in games. Good to use if you don't have an iPhone and the Remote app.

Please to be posting more apps!

7 1/2 hours in and I just got to Mexico in Red Dead Redemption. This game is awesome. I don't like it as much as Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, but that's like saying I don't like late-90s Dyanna Lauren as much as pre-tattoo Janine Lindemulder. I mean, I'd fuck the shit out of either of them in a heartbeat.

Likewise, I would have sex with Red Dead Redemption. This game is really neat.

...but those sidequests and random oddjobs kind of blow

Played a bit of the Killzone 3 MP demo tonight. I used the Move controller and after playing around with the settings I got pretty good. You can make a lot of adjustments to the dead zone (vertically and horizontally) and I even popped off a few headshots while sniping. I don't actually know how to play this game so that was pretty fun. I need to learn how to effing melee someone to death since I died that way ALOT.

Anyone give this a try?

The RIFT beta continues this weekend with the next beta event, Planar War, which is set to begin Friday, Feb. 4, 2011 at 10:00 AM PST (18:00 GMT), and run through 10:00 AM (18:00 GMT) on Monday, Feb. 7, 2011.

If you were in Beta 5, you should be getting a confirmation email that Beta 6 is available to you. Emails are slow going out, but they are coming. If you played in Beta 5 you should be getting an invite for Beta 6. Once you see your email, login and patch up, it's about 165 megs.

If you want to be a guild officer at launch, we can always use volunteers. It's mainly for maintenance, etc and not prestige. All members can accept/turn in guild requests, officers will have a few additional abilities like invites/demoting, etc. If someone wants to specifically be in charge of Raids for end game content and has experience doing this, speak up. I have zero desire to handle Raid content and want someone with a passion for it. People with alpha or beta experience tend to be best for this kind of thing and I prefer the LotRO method of running a guild which is high on help/fun and low on stupid/drama.
