  @cw- I hope you're right. I'd actually hate that to happen. It just crossed my mind that they might be able to sidestep licensing issues somehow because the game is being run somewhere else. Reply 0

  Anyone know if it's possible that Sony could use this to stream games that aren't originally from Sony devices? What I'm getting at is could the next Play Station have the ability to stream Nintendo's games? Reply -2

  I'm well up for this, Rome is by far my favourite Total War! Reply 0

• Sony: Why Vita gives us an advantage over Wii U

• wanted_0012 19/06/2012

  @HotCoffee is exactly right, devs don't know that people have both devices (and possibly both games on both devices for cross platform stuff?) so it will always be an afterthought that some people may use.
  
  Nintendo have that same cross console relationship between the 3DS and WiiU if they want it. So I guess your point is kinda moot then, Scott. Reply +8

• Wii U to support two GamePads

• wanted_0012 05/06/2012

  It's actually a good way of handling it. They could say it's not allowed to affect the frame rate, and then all devs would have to leave enough processing overhead in order to accomodate a 2nd controller video stream that may never be used. So quality would have to be lower all the time.
  
  This 60fps thing though, does anyone know if thats all games, or just nintendo games? Reply +2

• Splinter Cell: Blacklist confirmed

• wanted_0012 04/06/2012

  Not sure what to make of that, I liked conviction. It wasn't a proper SC game, I much preferred the earlier ones. It was more Bourne than Splinter Cell. But I knew that before I played it so didn't mind so much.
  
  This is just weird, looks like old SP (in the day), plays like a cross between Conviction and Assassins. Far to high paced. I want to be able to sneak through the game and only have to kill people if I fuck up and get seen.
  
  It could still be good, it's just no what I was hoping for. As others have said, I wish they would call it Conviction2 and make a proper SC game as well. Or better still, buy the Bourne license and make a game that does it justice.
  
  Maybe Michael Ironside wants to go back to the old formula and wouldn't let Ubi use his voice for this :p Reply 0

• Watch the Halo 4 live gameplay demo

• wanted_0012 04/06/2012

  @X3Entente I was totally thinking the same thing. The enemy design, environments, different visors, it's all a bit Metroid Prime. Not that that's a bad thing, Prime was awesome. And this is looking top notch too. Reply +2

• GameCube celebrates 10th birthday in the UK

• wanted_0012 03/05/2012

  Loved the gamecube, it's up there with the N64 for me. Hardly used my wii since i got bored of wii sports tennis and realised the remote didn't really work for me with FPS.
  
  Xbox may have been more powerful on paper but in reality there was very little difference if any, nintendo did a cracking job with everything other than marketing!

  Great news, I gave up on ARMA 2 after about 2 weeks of trying to get through the early stages with some mates in co-op. It was so close to being brilliant but just too buggy. Reply 0

• Anno 2070's weirdo DRM is working as intended

• wanted_0012 20/01/2012

  Oh man, I've defended Ubisoft and their 'always-on-internet' DRM before but I can't justify this. So if I install this game, change my graphics card, then format my pc I wont be able to use it?
  
  WTF is wrong with you Ubisoft? If you ever do that to Assassins Creed games I promise I'll stop buying them.. Reply +3

• Syndicate four-player co-op demo trailer

• wanted_0012 17/01/2012

  As someone who has never played the earlier syndicate games, I really like the look of this. From the gameplay footage i've seen it looks like the perfect sort of game to play through in co-op too.
  
  I also quite like the art style they are going for. I think it's the holographic overlays on the weapons and the way the rest of the hud moves. Could just be me on that though.. Reply +5

  I was actually upset when it looked like it wasn't going to happen, it was almost like how I'd feel if valve came out and said "we're not going to do Half Life 3 after all". (Please don't do that Valve) Reply 0

• Steam claims 100% sales growth in 2011

• wanted_0012 07/01/2012

  @TrevHead I realize some games will be cheaper retail. CoD games are priced stupid on steam, the original MW is still £20 for god sake :S
  
  Deus ex however is £30 not £45, I got it a bit cheaper than that at launch because I pre-ordered. And if you looked in the xmas sale I believe it had 50% off so was down to £15.
  
  I guess I just prefer to get games from steam because of the convenience, I always had a real problem with having to put the CD in the drive to play a game I've already installed on my computer, I'd rather have Ubisoft style DRM (I feel dirty saying that!).
  
  So I guess what I'm saying is if you pick your moment steam has some bargains. And even if it is more expensive I will use steam where I can (got BF3 from amazon as it was a £15 less than origin) because of the convenience and I like the service.
  
  Having said all that, I don't buy many pc games at launch anymore, mainly because of the crazy sales and the fact I've bought so many £3 games I haven't got round to playing yet. Deus ex was the last one.
  
  Each to their own I guess. I personally value my game collection being on the steam cloud where I can access it from different machines with no hassle and don't have to worry about disks getting scratched or lost or where to store all the damn boxes! Reply +1

• wanted_0012 06/01/2012

  @CaptainKid Seriously, check out the seasonal sales on Steam, lots of things are way cheaper than retail. DNF was £3.74 in the steam Xmas sale, it's £18 on play.com or £5.89 on amazon.co.uk with free delivery so you'll get it in about 7 days time.
  
  And who actually wants a box these days anyway? Personally I love the fact that the games are already in a format I can use them in. When I used to buy CD's I used to rip them to mp3 straight away. When I get a new DVD I make a digital copy and watch that. When I was buying boxed games I'd install it then find a no cd crack ... It's just more convenient! Reply +4

• Games of 2011: Deus Ex: Human Revolution

• wanted_0012 28/12/2011

  @JetSetWilly
  
  I played through stealth, trying not to be seen by anyone. When I got to that section I stopped sneaking and went nuts with my silenced pistol. Just because you played through the game being stealthy doesn't mean you had to do that section stealthy. In fact you pretty much didn't need to even try to save Malik at all.
  
  And I've got to say the controls were anything bug clunky (on the PC anyway). Some animations were a bit sketchy, but nothing as bad as PS2. Quality game, I loved every second apart from the first boss.
  
  That section with Malik and the chopper is awful. The game gives you no way of prepping for that so that you can approach it any way that you choose.
  
  Thats the whole point! Your hover copter thing just got unexpectedly shot down, you shouldn't have time to choose your loadout and prepare for it. If you want to start a level with exactly the right equipment and be lead down a path showing you exactly how to do things then go and play COD. Or the BF3 single player for that matter. Reply +5
