We recently moved to a new host. We hope you enjoy the better performance.
Only an Arab could spot the error in that shot. The translation for the "Hotel" sign is written incorrectly. I'll give them credit for getting the right letters, they're just backwards and they're not connected, it basically says "L E T O H" in Arabic.Someday, I'll get a job fixing these things.
Obviously they have to have someone who reads/writes Arabic, cuz I sure as hell couldn't even get to where they have it. I'm guessing it just got flipped at some point and no one noticed lol. Where is the guy who wrote it?
Man, they're killing me inside!I find it hard to believe they couldn't get an Arabic speaker to proof read the stuff! Geez, I'll do it just to get my name in the credits! Hmm.. idea..
Here's the thing: everything we've seen of Battlefield 3 has been running on PC, and maybe five percent of PC players are going to get that kind of graphical fidelity. For a lot of folks, the console version is going to be their only choice -- so what should they expect?According to DICE executive producer Patrick Bach, the console version obviously won't have all the graphical bells and whistles of its PC counterpart. Speaking to Videogamer, Bach said the console port will lack the "higher resolution, the higher framerate, the anti-aliasing, the motion blur, stuff like that" that we've seen in the trailers released so far.Still, it's not all doom and gloom. Despite some performance differences between Bad Company 2 on the PC and consoles, for example, both run quite smoothly and looked great.
Do you feel the consoles are holding PC games back?Patrick Bach: Yes, absolutely. That's the biggest problem we have today. Most games are actually still based on the same core idea that the consoles are your focus, the superior platform or something. I don’t know why. That was the truth 5 years ago, but the world has moved on. PCs are way more powerful than the consoles today and there are actually almost zero games out there that actually use the benefits of this. So for our target of what we want to hit, we are now using the more powerful platform to try and prove what we see gaming being in the future rather than using the lowest common denominator, instead of developing it for the consoles and then just adding higher resolution textures and anti-aliasing for the PC version. We're do it the other way around, we start with the highest-end technology that we can come up with and then scale it back to the consoles.Bach asserts that by using the PC as Battlefield 3's lead development platform, it will make the console versions look better as well.
Battlefied 3: 12 Minutes of GameplayWow.. I have to wipe the drool off my keyboard.. and myself.
I only have one thing to say about that video.
I'm confused. Isn't Battlefield an MP series?
I think the only Battlefield game I've played was about 10 minutes of 1942.
Bad Company 2 is awesome - SP and MP.
So it is like an Apple play in the vein of Flash and the e-book thing. Thinking they are big enough to thumb their nose at the going standard. If Origin becomes even moderately viable, I wouldn't be surprised if they pulled their whole catalog from Steamand all other D2D services.
Why would they pull their entire catalog from D2D, Gamersgate, and other DD's selling their stuff if Origin "moderately viable"?I could understand if say Origin was #2 to Steam, but really not otherwise.
