Red faction MP demo out!!
After playing the RF SP demo for quite some time now and have basicly destroyed everything on the level.. at least 5 times now, I jumped trought the roof when I saw this:
I dont play multiplayer any longer since I feel its a waste of time plus the fact that Im more interessted in the singler player aspects of storytelling, character arc and animation. I did play alot of Jedi knight Outcast and Acadamy in my younger days and had my fair share of CS,Q3,STARCRAFT and SOF2 matches but I walked away from this the later years I have strayed away from this. Never toutched WOW or Warhammer online and working on a AA title MMO certainly dident help much, but when I saw the MP footage above I said: "Screw that! Im getting in on this". I booted up my 360 (since the mp demo hit there first) but I encounterd a huge wall called subscription. I have recently gotten alot of mail due to the fact that Im not renewing my subscription fee on Xbox live.
I have abandoned XBL since I bought PS3. Its just more sleeker and more intuetive (plus the huge fact that Playstation Network is free!) Im saving it to a exclusive game. Though I doubt that will happen with nowdays licenses. Most games come on all plat..... ANYHOO! Im strafing away from the subject. I couldent get online with my XBL account because of its payment thing and I cant change it back to silver either (Silver subscription is free but then you have to wait a couple of days more for the demoes to go from GOLD til SILVER.. haha oh the madness) So I abandoned the box and waited a couple of hours and then turned on the PSN and there it was in all its glory. RED FACTION MP DEMO! and Infamous demo! Yay!
I downloaded it and was ready to start hammering away when nothing happend in the game lobby. It couldent connect to any server. After a quick google-session I found the blog for RF and there they say:
******
We wanted to let everyone know that we are aware of an issue surrounding the MP Demo matchmaking on the PS3 version of the demo. We are already looking into it, and will have more information soon.
We appreciate your patience during this time and I'll update this post once there is more information.
******
So gah.. I have to wait a little more then. I got one match in yesterday thinking it might have been fixed but no. The match was good and gave me a taste at what the final version would be like. Im still looking forward to RED FACTION when it hits next month. (June 26)
In the mean time I will just have to settle with Infamous.. or go play with my GI joe`s in the sandbox... *sight*

MS Trashes GTA IV PS3 Install Time
Microsoft is backing Grand Theft Auto IV big time, and trashing the PS3 version while it’s at it.
While Microsoft UK said last week that it was supporting the launch of GTA IV like it was Halo 3, it has also sent out a mail taking the piss out of the reported mandatory five-minute install time on the PlayStation 3 version.
“I’m sure you’ve all seen the chatter… on the PS3 install time… just a few thoughts on what you could do in this time if you were actually playing the 360 version from the moment you insert the disc....
• Steal your first dozen or so cars and test out the improved vehicle handling?
• Check out the cool features on your mobile phone?
• Rack up a 5 Star Wanted Rating?
• Have a blast of your first MP game on Xbox LIVE?
• Ditch the tracksuit chic and buy some new clothes?
• Unlock your first GTA IV Achievement and boost your Gamerscore?
• Start downloading a film from Xbox LIVE Video Store to watch later
I dont really see why MS is beeing so goddamn cocky. Did MS take into account the red ring of death wave they have had lately? By the time you get your 360 back from repairs in some easterblock contry republic, people will be 97 packages found allready. MS has nothing to be smug about. They basicly pimped themself out to Rockstar for the extra content. I mean, from what Ive gatherd, on the PS3 you install the game to get minimum loadtime during gameplay. In the long run thats a good thing in my head. Besides since when was 5 min a long time? You know your in for a good treat and you can make a meal fit for GTA in that time. HA! What a joke!

"Alone in the dark: Central park" videogame-trailer
More of a "tech-demo-walkthrough" then anything else really, but still very good stuff. I cant belive that this kind of interaction and gameplay mechanics havent surfaced up before 2008! Anyhoo, Its about damn time someone takes this step and I for one, am glad its Eden Games that struck the first blow. We need more immersive gameplay while keeping our logic thoughts on how the game should be played, not how the game wants us to play...
Now, If you will excuse me. Im going to play Penumbra: Black Plague.
thihi.. *dims light*

Marketplace video store open next week...
Log onto Xbox Live on December 11th, download 300, start shouting "this is Sparta!"
At last, it's our time in the sun. After Americans have been downloading movies from Xbox Live Marketplace since time began (note: possibly exaggeration), we'll be getting our turn. Xbox Live Marketplace Video Store opens in the UK and the rest of Europe on December 11th and inside, we have a full list of what movies will be available and how much they cost.
Ever since december the third, my xbox has been getting more attention the usual. This has only to do with the fact that MS dropped a update for the 360 making it possible to watch Divx! Ive used windows media center and transcode up to now but now I just plug in my 500gb external Hd and lean back. Its amazing. Finaly the 360box is a true media center.
First thing is pricing. Films will cost 250 Microsoft Points for the Standard Definition version while downloading the High Definition version will set you back 380 Microsoft Points instead. That's not much, it means films are cheaper than Frogger and they're definitely going to give you more entertainment value too. Gimme a high five, Jeff Minter! Hell yeah.
These are the films confirmed for Xbox Live Marketplace Video Store. See if you can spot the truly awesome film lurking in the list (clue: it's not Harry Potter)...
300
HARRY POTTER AND THE PHILOSOPHER'S STONE
HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS
ZODIAC
MATRIX, THE
MATRIX REVOLUTIONS, THE
MATRIX RELOADED, THE
OCEAN'S ELEVEN
PERFECT STORM, THE

ANALYZE THIS
DEMOLITION MAN
ERASER
EXECUTIVE DECISION
LETHAL WEAPON 3

Did you spot the awesome film? Yup! It's Demolition Man! In HD! Demolition Man is blatantly one of the best films ever ("send a manianc to catch a maniac") and we can only hope that Demolition Man's inclusion means we can also look forward to the likes of Under Siege, Predator, Commando and Hard Target. In HD! Don't let us down, Microsoft...
