Fuck Sony

#17472 posted by Zwiffle on 2009/09/16 18:29:24

That's pretty horrible Jago. You should try contacting Kotaku or something, let Sony get a shit ton of bad press for screwing over their customers.

Write Up

#17473 posted by ijed on 2009/09/16 20:47:29

An article shitting on their warranty obligations - read the warranty etc. ask a friend who works in legal matters to clarify anything then get in contact with Kotaku or similar.

Because if they're refusing to honor the warranty then that means they're pretty sure they don't have to, or that it'd cost you too much to press the issue against their army of lawyers.

Upshot being that the warranty probably isn't worth the paper its written on.

To be honest you probably won't get anywhere and will end up paying the 69 euros, but at least its better than just keeping quiet - enough complaints and maybe they will, one day, treat their customers with some respect.

Or Maybe

buy a ds for 100 bucks

Doesnt play the PSP games we already have, nor can make use of the 8gb memory card we bought, nor is it a particularly good media player.

Here's A Question For Jah:

#17480 posted by meTch on 2009/09/19 01:03:49

would you consider mapping and level design two different things, as in:

mapping: doing the basics [start,end,minimal lighting, etc.]

level design: mapping which includes; multiple rooms, detail brushes, adding lighting, adding ambient sounds, adding entities, and/or doors to separate rooms, adding traps for the player, and adding interesting scenarios/sights, etc.

or what say you?

Errr ... Well, You Know It Was Just A Thought

I don't have a very developed method though.

Mapping = Making A Map. Level Design = Designing A Level.

It's all balled up into one thing, for me. I don't really view them as separate jobs.

I bet Lunaran would hate the Suljeva Village part of Killzone 2, because it seems Guerilla Games actually made and released Coriolis Force:

#17487 posted by metlslime on 2009/09/20 08:41:42

I've been playing quake for 13 years and never noticed before that a single nail from the super nail gun actually uses 2 ammo units.

I just found out while looking at the QuakeC :)

KZ2 is has a selection of different humanoid enemies, but there are some vehicles to fight as well, both ground and aerial (loved the aerial "ATAC" boss).

cheers, I'm sold on the game.

actually I think youtube works way better in demoing games than actual demos. Less data to be downloaded, easier to access etc.

For Wipeout Heads

While I've managed to crack top500 in world ranking on a few Zone tracks in Wipeout HD, this level of play is something I can only dream of:

I only just noticed that a fish's head shrinks when it dies.

Apparantly there's a fixed model out there - anyone have a link?
