I don’t think they will be PS-Now titles like they were for some PS3 games. Expect it to be more like the first-run PS3s (a.k.a the “Fat PS3”) that could actually play a legit PS2 disc and emulate a memory card. Reason being it’s a lot cheaper to just enable this emulation rather than having to retrieve a huge library…

As a secondary note about Power Armors, you can also pickpocket the Fusion Core from a suit and eject the wearer. So if you have the balls and a Stealthboy handy, try it. Some other tips:

My favorite line from Travis is this bit: *Comes after him explaining the bit about the Railroad appearing in the Wasteland.* “...which sounds really dangerous when you think about it. I’d rather just sit in here...and...play musi-*Sounds of stuff falling on him.* Ugh...WHYYYY. DO THESE OBJECTS. KEEP MOVING!?…

I will admit, even if the Creation Engine (which is just a modified Gamebryo Engine, face it) is getting very long in the tooth, I do have to commend BethSoft for pushing it THIS far for this long. However, I do agree with some other people that I think this is the tipping point for BethSoft - The Creation Engine…

Attention people that can’t read and instead just type: ALL EDITIONS OF OVERWATCH WILL INCLUDE ALL 21 CURRENT HEROES AT LAUNCH.

So it has all the modding tricks and button remapping of a Scuf Controller, but is made in-house and has metal parts?

Most of who’s actually at Criterion now is a shell of its former self. The real Criterion crew have since moved on to Ghost Games (who just finished the rather impressive Need For Speed) and Three Fields Entertainment (who are working on a real successor to Burnout under a different name).

The game is balanced around the vanilla experience, that is, the game without any DLC.

I think I recall reading at one point the main reason the Allegheny isn’t a good candidate for restoration efforts is that it’s so damn heavy that it may warp current day rails under its sheer weight plus the obstacle of actually MOVING that monster out of the Ford Museum in the first place.

Speaking of big steam locomotives (and a close relative of the Allegheny class), I can’t wait to see this thing in action next year:

I’m fairly sure that thing does put out 600+ HP. Most steam engines (on rails) are rated in the thousands of horsepower, but they put out something like a factor of 20x more torque (usually stated as Tractive Effort). For example, one of the most powerful steam engines was Norfolk & Western 1218 (a 2-6-6-4 Class Y6-A…

I seriously doubt Kojima will be returning to game development anytime soon after Konami put him through the ringer. Kojima’s style of narrative lends itself well to films and he has expressed interest in movies. I would not be surprised to see him doing film or TV work before he returns to gaming.

Hey! I still own a mini-truck! Anyway, yes. Rivalry is all fine and dandy. I like rivalries, friendly ones. As long as the Haterade is being poured in sarcastic or joking manner, I don’t mind it. It’s when people actively hate on it out of spite or just because it’s “cool” that it becomes a social issue. The same…

I’ve said it before: Paid modding / Mod Marketplaces can work, but there needs to be a consistent, strict, and heavily scrutinized moderation process so nobody is caught stealing others’ works or just putting copywritten material into the game for shits and expecting money for it. Bethesda and Valve stumbled because…

For all the great talent CDPR houses, the original Witcher (even in its remastered form) did not age gracefully. Witcher 2’s Enhanced Edition gives the best plot catch-up and lore primers before moving into Witcher 3 if you need to know the full story.

So does this mean Star Citizen went from “Overly ambitious black hole of money doomed to fail” to “Too big to fail because LOL Hollywood”?

Yes, exactly like that.

Yes, exactly like that.

Star’d. I own the little brother to this one, the K70 RGB with Cherry-MX Browns on it. Built like a tank (banged on it a couple times, and it’s hefty) and responds well. My ONLY quip is that every once in a blue moon one of the WASD keys tends to lock up. Sticky spring or driver issue?

I’ve seen running and equally good looking Ur-Quattros go up on Bring A Trailer for a fraction of that price. Also, was the standard wheelbase Quattro in Group-B racing ever, or was that the stumpy little Sport Quattro?
