AMD has recently launched a new program called AMD Game that will address the issues faced today by gamers who want to achieve immaculate performance form their machines.
AMD’s Game program aims to break down the key components and hardwares from the company to allow the gamer to achieve better performance and better frame-rates on higher resolutions while playing games.
Although a brilliant marketing campaign, the need of such services was way over-due. AMD Game and AMD Game Ultra will provide two tiers of gaming system specs that will cater to different budgets and tastes.
AMD Game has been extensively discussed over at Ars Technica, read the entire article there.
There is always something that could improve a game, and GTA 4 is one such game where everyone wants to see it get better and better. Like it already isn’t
People over at Kombo.com have compiled a list of 8 things they would like to see added in the game that would substantially take it to beyond a 10/10 rating. It is understood that there are other things that need to be taken care of before these new features can be added, and the article author does mention, Full Story →
So we’ve come across the term Web 2.0 a lot now, and we see it being used with virtually all new applications that are coming out. Just when you thought “Web 2.0″ was a useless meme, researchers and forcasters say there will be a Web 3.0, too.
Yes. But contrary to popular belief, these versions of the Web are not upgrades of a single service or patches to an old one. It’s basically a whole new philosophy of approach towards information and the web. How to organize it, how to index it, how to share it, how to search it, how to store it, and all that. With internet availability being a smaller issue today, than it was 10 years ago, and with speeds much faster now, the Web is taking a whole new meaning for users and publishers.
We are entering the age where information is more meshed together than ever before. I came across a wonderful article that actually explained how a few technologies could help the advent of the Web 3.0 and how it would be fascinating to see new applications emerge that would make information access much, much easier and simpler.
Gaming today is quite linear in terms of information that they require. Gaming today relies only on the information that the game contains. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a game that could actually change dynamically to the real world scenarios and events?
Read the article, watch this video and give me your feedback.
XiaoFeng “Sky” Li had carried the Olympic Torch and has become one of the ten gamers that have announced they will carry the torch for this momentous event. Other gamers that will join Sky are WarCraft 3 player JaeHo “Moon” Jang, and StarCraft player Junchun “Pj” Sha.
SK Gaming has more on this and a few pictures too.
It’s a great thing that the gamers are getting in on the act and the organizers are supporting them too. This is a great publicity opportunity for gamers and the gaming community.
Well, yeah, I do. I happened to get my hands on the game when I first visited what later on happened to be my alma mater.
The game at it’s time was ground breaking and it was amazing playing a game that threw you into the driver see of an agent finding and killing deep in the dungeons of Wolfenstein. The sound and music added another dimension to game development at that time, when these aspects were relatively backseat thanks to limited technology.
While most people were sicked by the motion, it was cheered and hailed as a great game all over. The blood and gore did throw some people off, and in countries like Germany, it was banned due to symbolism and music that was related to the Nazi regime of mid 1900s.
With more and more of out lives being organized into smaller and smaller chips these days, it is inevitable if you are a professional that you’d be using a laptop by now, or will use one in the near future for personal use.
From personal identification to contacts, to bank details and company designs. Mobile devices of today can be one hell of a baggage to carry. That is the very reason both the individual consumers and the governments around the world are talking cautions to safe guard their interests.
He said competing technologies, such as Gopher, which was developed at the University of Minnesota, were also offering a method of using hyperlinks to connect documents across computers on the internet.
“If we had put a price on it like the University of Minnesota had done with Gopher then it would not have expanded into what it is now.”
Much to the surprise of this afflicted world, the videogames industry is still surging forward with players taking a decision to go into full nelson production. New York Times, a very credible journal, does a story why even in a plethora of negative economic indicators, the gaming industry is still having a “banner year”, and will still go on to have a great year. Games like GTA 4 are not only extremely satisfying experiences, they are way of escapism and joy for people who toil all day at jobs and office. The article goes to say that gamer, or people, are more like to buy “eggs, milk and videogames with their last $50.”
I however disagree with anyone who uses the word addiction to describe what might just be a very simple way of find a non-hallucinating escape from life!
As a videogames evangelist, I think the potential of this industry is still unrealized in most parts of the world. Not only as a highly lucrative economy but as a tool to aid social development in fields like medicine, education, public service and governance.
Don’t consider yourself poor or unfortunate for not having been able to play GTA 4 yet. There are thousands like us out there that haven’t. According to Associated Press, the launch of this game could be the most lucrative franchise in gaming history! Even more than last year’s, over hyped, Halo 3.
Anyhoo, the good guys over at Kotaku have assembled a list of 40 questions that needed answering straight off, and entertaining a lot more in the comments sections of the GTA 4 FAQ:
15. Do helicopters have weapons?
Some do. Good luck hitting anything with the mini-guns! You might have better luck taking out foes with the chopper’s blades.
28. Can you run police, fireman, or taxi extra missions in GTA IV?
You can take on police missions via the LCPD computer. There’s one in every cop car. You can earn taxi missions, but they’re handled through one of your friends. We haven’t seen any fireman missions, but we have taken the fire truck out for spin (and pedestrian hose-down).
34. How much does the phone tie into gameplay?
It ties in very heavily. Niko will use it to make and receive calls, remind him of appointments, take pictures, call cabs, phone in favors, and more. Need a cop car? Call 911, wait for the LCPD, then carjack it. The cell phone is also your entry point for accessing multiplayer games.
Someone really lucky at Kotaku received his Grand Theft Auto 4 today and does us all a noble favor of recording it’s unboxing on a few still. What I made out of these is that it has a nifty box with a handle on top, and a few cool merchandise (like a key chain and a mat kinda thing?) and a few other goodies. Can’t wait for it to come on PC. Go enjoy the gallery here!
