New Xbox 360 update incompatible with some models, MS offering replacements [update] (Joystiq)

May 18th 2011 9:50AM @oxfordfishsalon Yes, it is for very specific hardware. The AP2.5 checks will be retroactively applied to all games. Xbox 360s with early Hitachi DVD drives, as well as all Samsung drives are incompatible with AP2.5 checks. You can check relatively easily what brand drive you have by following these instructions: http://www.xblog-360.com/forum/showthread.php?t=564 (This is of course unofficial.)

Keighley's app showcases Portal 2 development (Joystiq)

Apr 28th 2011 11:34AM I grabbed this last week. It's an excellent read, and well worth the $2. It's got some neat video of "Two Robots, One Wrench" that nicely shows how Valve wraps up concepts together to make a game.

Portal 2's wall-walking gel would have made you sick (Joystiq)

Apr 25th 2011 2:12PM This is mentioned in "The Final Hours of Portal 2" ( http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/the-final-hours-of-portal-2/id432031492?mt=8 ) along with a lot of other interesting back story on Portal 2 development. Well worth the $2 if you've got an iPad, and like Portal.

Halo: Combat Evolved remake coming this holiday (Joystiq)

Feb 11th 2011 12:30AM @Spartan117458 I usually play on a 26" 1920x1200 monitor, from about 1.5 - 2 feet away. Reach is not exactly pretty. But either way, I'm just hoping this new engine kicks ass, and is smooth. I'll still take a solid 720p60 over choppy 1080p for sure.

Feb 4th 2011 9:47AM @louiedog Wow, totally missed that line. Well hopefully they can pull it off with a rock solid framerate...

Halo: Combat Evolved remake coming this holiday (Joystiq)

Feb 4th 2011 9:25AM "support 1080p resolutions" as in 720p scaled, right? That's what Reach does.

Crysis 2 multiplayer demo coming to PC (Joystiq)

Jan 28th 2011 3:20PM Hopefully with a little more polish than the Xbox demo...

Video: Icy Pittsburgh hill claims half a dozen cars (Autoblog)

Jan 19th 2011 3:56PM Agreed. The guy with the cone might have been trying to get to the top to block it off.

Fallout: New Vegas visual mods make PC version prettier, no less buggy (Joystiq)

Dec 18th 2010 2:21PM I long for the day when games move beyond the everything-is-shiny look. The detailed normals pack makes it seem 100 times worse...

Bit. Trip Fate review: A trip to bullet hell (Joystiq)

Nov 1st 2010 7:17PM @greyseal I noticed this too and was confused. So far, I've just played the first level (which I beat on my first try -- wasn't expecting that), but was really kind of bored... I just gave up on the second level to go do something else. Does it pick up after that?
