Steve Jobs still doesn’t like Flash [Comments Off]
And let’s lust say that Flash coming to iPhone OS is pretty much a pipe-dream now.

MTV Multiplayer’s Russ Frushtick’s iPhone OS 4.0 wishlist
Curious:
Universal Gaming Profile
Windows is fighting back with their next generation of phones, which allow users to connect to Xbox Live and even earn achievements on the go. The iPhone already has several 3rd party achievement-based systems which allow users to keep friends lists for gaming. But they’re all segmented! OpenFeint, Plus+ and its ilk should unify into one grand gaming system with universal friends lists and “achievements.” Apple could tie to to your iTunes profile account so setting it up would be a snap.
Will never, should never happen. OpenFeint and Plus+ are annoying enough as it is. Everything else is spot-on.
Update: That crow sure is tasty. GameCenter is in.
Duke Nukem Forever: Learn to Let Go [Comments Off]
Wired has published their article on the demise of “Duke Nukem Forever”. Clearly, this is a must read, as it is the best article about the subject matter so far — hardly surprising, coming from Wired. It retells the story of a more than decade long process of making a game that could never live up to its creator’s own standards.
Broussard simply couldn’t tolerate the idea of Duke Nukem Forever coming out with anything other than the latest and greatest technology and awe-inspiring gameplay. He didn’t just want it to be good. It had to surpass every other game that had ever existed, the same way the original Duke Nukem 3D had.
If you are at all interested in the history of “Duke”, this is a must read.
Also, the piece was illustrated by the ridiculously talented Olly Moss.
30 bullshots per minute [Comments Off]
DigitalFoundry has posted an extremely worthwhile article about the age-old Bullshot debate.
The bottom line is that some crazy fools out there might argue that the purpose of a screenshot or a movie is to actually show you how the game actually looks, as opposed to how it might look if you were running it on a PC, with ultra-level settings and an unplayable frame-rate. There’s also the fact that going to the trouble of creating all of these enhancements takes time and presumably money: surely both would be better spent on developing the game?
Does anyone still remember the uproar when Tiberian Sun came out, looking nothing like the screenshots? Well, I do. Because I am old. Old’ish. But so is your mom and that doesn’t stop you from loving her, now does it?
New Xbox 360 with built in NATAL next fall? [Comments Off]
Digitimes seems to know who the supplier for the NATAL camera for the “new” Xbox 360 is.
Aptina has won exclusive rights to supply 1.3-megapixel CMOS image sensors (CIS) for a new version of the Xbox 360 console under Microsoft’s Project Natal technology, and shipments of the new Xbox 360 are slated for the second half of 2010, according to industry sources in Taiwan.
People are saying that Natal might be built INTO the next Xbox 360, which seems a terrible idea. Ever knocked down your Wii’s sensor bar? Now imagine if that was your Xbox 360. I know I’d freak out. Either way, this source is as credible as it gets.
Maybe, just maybe, we will find out more at GamesCom.
Pachter: UK Modern Warfare 2 price increase a business decision [Comments Off]
Michael Pachter speaks the truth:
“The price increase is a business decision,” he said, noting that the pound is worth more today than when COD5 launched last year.“Activision knows it has a ‘hot’ game, knows that the market will pay an additional 10 percent, and has decided to increase price accordingly.”
He then goes on to say that should there be no backlash, we can expect similar pricing for these kind of blockbuster titles in the future. Now, keep in mind, yes, you can vote with your wallet and hold out on principle, but you would be missing out of Modern fucking Warfare 2. Your call.
Army Grade Motion Controls coming to PS3 [Comments Off]
Eurogamer asks just how accurate is the new Sony Motion Controller? So Accurate.
Kish Hirani: What most people are really surprised about is the precision. It’s scarily good. The army has had this sort of technology for a long time, so a lot of academians have seen these things, but when you see a consumer space device with this level of accuracy – that’s when developers say, ‘Wow.’
Seems like waggle will find it’s way into hardcore games after all. The added precision will most likely help convincing the sceptics. This better not be EyeToy all over.
The Beatles: Rock Band is full of Love [Comments Off]
Mike McWerthor previews The Beatles: Rock Band for Kotaku.
Even as an extremely casual Beatles fan, seeing the attention to detail labored upon The Beatles: Rock Band is exciting for the medium.
This is basically the takeaway point. Having experienced the full game myself, I could not agree more. It is odd to think that a game centered this strongly on a single band could be a serious contender for Game of the Year… this could be that game.
