A Crack in Time will probably be Insomniac’s last 60fps game [Comments Off]
Insomniac’s Mike Acton ponders ‘How much does framerate matter?‘ His conclusion? Not much: Pretty graphics are more important to both reviewers and, more importantly, buyers. However, while developers may compromise in terms of framerate, it should be solid:
A solid framerate is still a sign of professional, well-made product. When there is a trade-off for framerate, it needs to be clearly worth it. i.e. It must introduce clear improvements on what the player sees, and never used as an excuse to not optimize the game or art.
Considering “Resistance” runs at 30fps, it’d probably be easier for Insomniac to consolidate the tech even further, although it makes me nauseous to think of “Ratchet & Clank” with even more details, hell, there’s almost too much going on in “A Crack in Time” with the game looking almost too good.
Check out Mike’s article for a more detailed breakdown, with all kinds of charts and data. It’s wonderful, really.

Bad Company 2 Special Edition revealed [Comments Off]
Good news first: You won’t have to pony up any extra cash to get your hands on the special edition of “Battlefield: Bad Company 2″; the bad news: they’re only making so many of them, so you better be fast. Here’s why you want one:
- Improved Vehicle Armor – An up-armor package is mounted on all vehicle types, decreasing the effect of both explosive and penetrating warheads, significantly improving vehicle survivability.
- Supreme Vehicle Firepower – Additional weapon packages are mounted for the driver of all armored vehicles, greatly expanding the range of targets the vehicle can successfully engage and destroy.
- Vehicle Motion Sensor – Use this electronics warfare package to locate enemy units in direct proximity to the vehicle.
- Tracer Dart Pistol – This magnetic dart attaches to any vehicle surface, allowing squad members to track, lock on, and fire rockets onto moving targets even beyond line of sight.
- M1A1 Submachine Gun – Reliable but heavy this classic weapon is a powerful force in the hands of any Battlefield veteran.
- M1911 Pistol – Highly customized M1911 are favored for its dependability and the power of its large .45 caliber round.
EA has also released a trailer to commemorate this announcement. Watch it over at Eurogamer.
However, if you are not among the lucky few to pick up one of these fancy limited editions fret not, these unlocks are attainable through regular gameplay. Fair, we say. Game’s out March 2nd in the US, March 5th in Europe for the platforms listed below. You should have learned that by now.
