  • First look at Heavy Rain dev's new tech

  • chronom4n 10/03/2012

    Such a beatuiful demo. So nice when she sings in japanese as her voice sounded so sweet and then the panic in her voice... for me the tech demo played with my emotions going from happiness to sadness. The video reminds me so much of Bjorks video 'all is love'. Reply 0

    NOOOOO.. this can't be right? I feel really bad for these guys because the amount of pleasure i gained from playing PGR2 was just magic. I wish them all the best for the future. Reply 0

  • chronom4n 18/01/2011

    Funny that! spent the best part of 90 minutes playing topspin3 this evening. I just hope that they can add some commentary to the game because that game is as boring as shit to play at time because it is just silence in between the points.

    And improving the player models. That would be a good step.     Reply 0

    The visuals look average in my opinion. don't know if this is going to have the same impact as something like GRID for me. I am sure that the handling will be spot-on but as for the visuals.... not sure. Reply 0

  • The new Xbox 360 controller

  • chronom4n 01/09/2010

    FFS, why change the colours on the buttons? that's just plain stupid. The colours for me made it easier to remember which buttons to press and for friends etc, the colours made it easier to tell them which button to press. I just did not see that one coming. Reply 0

  • Report: Microsoft revising 360 d-pad

  • chronom4n 31/08/2010

    Personally i hate the geotek attachements because they make the triggers feel so plasticky. all i did was attach a couple of 8mm velcro dots (the soft ones) to each of the triggers because that automatically gives me the tactility that i want. plus i stops my finger from slipping off.

    As for the 360 pad, I just wish the whole pad was fully analog and about time the d-pad got a revamp because once they do that, it will hopefully improve the enjoyment of using the d-pad.

    I realised how comfortable the 360 pad is when i spent a couple of hours doing a race in forza 3 and it just felt so comfortable plus they have got the triggers and the LB/RB feel down to a tee. I just love the precise feel and sound of the LB/RB buttons.

    I am just hoping that they really do improve the controller.     Reply 0

    Gromit, what i meant to add was that, the AI would be challenging in that respect. even though I did find it immensely frustrating to have the AI bump you from behind when coming into the braking zone of the long straight of the NYC course! Reply 0

  • chronom4n 20/08/2010

    Here's what i have found about the AI in all the GT games... if you were poor at setting the car up to get the most out of the car and/or track then you would be constantly racing for 5th or 4th. if you were average than you would be fighting 4th/3rd place and if you were good/excellent at the game than it would be 2nd/1st place.

    That has been my experience with the game when factoring in a total of 6 cars including yours truly, but now that there are going to be upto 16 cars it is going to turn the whole game upside down IMO.

    "Now, you die!" "yeah? how you gonna push buttons when your fingers are broken?" I like this game simply because the lead character is doing some crazy ass stuff. Reply 0

  • First F1 2010 teaser

  • chronom4n 18/03/2010

    @fknetwork, i wasn't putting the game down in a very bad way, just that it takes some time to getting adjusted to the way the cars would handle because the cars would swing about wildly because i was coming from playing colin mcrae, gran turismo 4, forza 2 and when the comparisons are made, GRID does oversteer really really badly. Still very enjoyable as I spent a over 20 laps at the spa track using the dfp. Peace out. Reply -1

  • chronom4n 18/03/2010

    codies did the same thing with GRID or rather something similiar saying how realistic the game is. Turned out to be cars swinging about like a pendulum. Not saying that this is gonna turn out like that but until the final product, been there done that. On a positive note, I like how they are saying that there will be season upgrades, blistering, marbles, weather changes etc. Good stuff on paper. Reply -3

  • F1 2010's career mode detailed

  • chronom4n 18/03/2010

    @stepneg, it took a while to get the FDP to perform just right. Out of the box, I agree that the performance of the game with the wheel ouf of the box, was nothing short of terrible. Seeing this is going to be a hardcore sim (hopefully) they will most likely cater for all the hardcore wheels. Anyways, I can see this as being a pre-order for me. Reply 0

  • F1 2010 due out in September

  • chronom4n 12/03/2010

    GRID basically handled like a pendulum unless you persevered with the handling and/or used a wheel. I hope that the graphics engine is further polished up but I am hopeful that the handling will be excellent because codemasters can't afford to balls it up in that department. Reply 0

  • Retrospective: Bushido Blade

  • chronom4n 18/10/2009

    Damn, I remember this game as it was the first game I imported for my US NTSC PS1. It took me a while to get the hang of it but i kinda got there. Loved the idea and it was a breath of fresh air for me because at the time the rage was tekken or soul blade. Quality game mind. Reply +6

  • Forza Motorsport 3

  • chronom4n 13/10/2009

    So how many cars are actually new to forza3? and how many have been recycled? One thing on the handling side of things, forza is the only game where i think the use of the controller is so well tuned, it doesn't make you miss using a wheel all that much. Still I will be getting rid of my copy of Forza2 because it seems that this version, from what I have seen is a significant improvement over Forza2 well at least graphically. Reply +2

  • chronom4n 25/09/2009

    @hula hoops, are you kidding me? they are very good car models and a massive improvement over Forza2. Considering the amount of game content that is going to be available to the player, I would say they have given us the best car models that they could muster. Reply +3

    codemasters also wanted to make you play the game as if you were a driver within a race. Driver was a decent game but rubbish physics IMO. Same-old story as to why you should buy this game. Reply 0

    A few weeks ago Eg did an interview with teh wipeout guys and i got the feeling that they did not think that a BD release was worthwhile and now they introduce the game on BD. At the least it is well priced. Reply 0
