Trainee indeed.
Now that is a strong pistol.
CNET fired him.
Greg left at his own will to pursue a career of developing videogames as that has always been his dream. GameSpot couldn't have forced him to stay.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the boss of GameSpot (not Jeff) assigns reviews to the reviewers.
Anyway, props to Jeff for not giving into advertisers, even if that meant he lost his job for doing so. I have a lot of respect for him now.
Ha, G4.
You can run the game and play it, but you'll likely get a terrible, terrible frame rate on most maps unless you have a PhysX PPU. The game maxed out both my cores on my Core 2 Duo E6600. The subway map is somewhat playable, but the other outdoor ones are not.
It doesn't suck, it's just overrated.
No...
Payback is utterly pathetic compared to SoF1 and 2. The first two were made by Raven and were excellent games; Payback, which shouldn't even be considered a Soldier of Fortune game as it started out as a different game, is made by some budget Activision studio.
The new 8 series cards are very tempting, but I'm holding off until the 9 series. My 7900GT actually does very, very well in all the latest games, including Crysis.
Die, not dye.
It's [H]ard|OCP.
The game was being played on easy, as evidenced by the poor accuracy of the enemies and the low amount of damage being done to the player. The AI is a lot better on the high difficulty levels.
I like Crysis' HUD. They didn't go the cheap route and just use bitmaps. They employed high-quality middleware HUD tech to create a vector HUD that scales well with pretty much every resolution, ensuring a smooth look.
Benchmarks show that Phenom is a big disappointment. It's slightly more expensive than Intel's Core 2s, uses slightly more power, has less overclockability, and performs slightly worse clock for clock. ATI's latest outing with its mid-range Radeon HD 3850 and 3870s are quite good, however.
Bohemia Interactive is not developing Operation Flashpoint 2 due to a breakdown of relations between them and Codemasters. Bohemia is now developing the Armed Assault series, while Codemasters is developing OPF2.
That was actually pretty cool.
Looking forward to the PC version.
Techland is great when it comes to graphics, but Warhound is no Crysis.
The Very High setting is there as a future-proof setting. So if you want to play the game again a year from now but have faster hardware, you can set the game to Very High.
