stalker will be good.

i think so also

Based on what?

That its been in development for 5 years?

using out dated technology?

Got Alpha demo!

look @ steam when the source code was 'stolen' it went back into development for 3 years

But it will have outdated gameplay mechanics.

It doesn't do anything new.

by the statement doesnt do anything new is just plain silly look @ the amount of people still playing quake games and ET they dont do anything new there built on solid game play of CTF and whatever ET's gameplay is capture and hold

i still have the Alpha demo it was solid and the movie that i saw of stalekr just then hosted @ GA still looks ok

but if you dont like it thats fine just dont buy it and start complaining how they should of done this and that

Finally got vista installed, but the funny thing is i didnt do anything different.

I had the first half on my 74gig raptor for xp, then the last half broken into 3 pieces - 15g for Ubuntu, 7gig a swap partition, then a free 7 gigs...

Installed vista on the last partition and it worked...

Basically doing not what they recommend to do - to have all the os's up the front of the partition blocks.

Once it was in (in the small 7 gig space) i had to delete the middle 2, and resize vista to take over....

Now ive got 30gig fer xp, and 30 for vista :domokun:

  • 2 weeks later...

My mates and myself have just started to capture some of our gaming. And I've been trying to make some short clips. Just for fun.

If ya wanna check out some of our vids, there Here one our site :P

cool

Fraps is a sweet program - will make a 3rd MajorTangles BF2 fraps video soon (first 2 are linked in the sau games discussion section; 1st one didnt work out that well, 2nd one is funny IMO), will do it on shock paddle kills for say 50% and the other 50% would be footage of a variety of say a minimum of 4kill efforts.

Ok Madaz, that must mean that commodores and falcons are the best cos people keep buying them.

CSS is boring plain and simple. It was good 7 years ago, but i've since gotten bored of it and have been playing other games.

I'm sure stalker will be a confident game but it will offer nothing new to the genre, as has been the case for many years now. And there is nothing on the horizon that suggests that will change.

Gaming really has become boring since the playstation era.

Thats really a personal thing. I never got into ps much, but my friends had em, and i played em. TBH the only game i ever got into was gran turismo...

I need at least 2 or 3 games to play at the same time cos i get bored too easy..

I don't think it's a personal thing.

Gaming has lost all originality since the playstation era. Sure there have been a few new franchises but almost everything is a sequal.

There really hasn't been many significant gameplay changes for a while now, but then again, do games need innovation to be fun? Have you picked up and played a Wii for any amount of time?

I've recently gotten back into RTS's with the release of Supreme Commander but I really don't see any major gameplay innovations for a sequel that was released 10 years after the original, it is still a lot of fun though!

I just want more titles like Okami, Loco Roco, we love katamari, etc, etc.

I've been gaming for 18 years or so now and i just find it the same old thing.

I took the company PS3 home the other night, and it really wasn't all that interesting. It doesn't do anything that can't already be done.

And GT HD is shocking, it's the same as GT1 only with better graphics.

Unfortunatly old bastards like myself (gaming for 20 years +) and yourself have seen pretty much everything thats been around. Back to the old Atari 2600...:D

Nothing new in terms of genre of gaming has been released up until recently with the Wii and its wave your arms around like your being attacked by a swarm of bees type games....

If you find something u like rpg, fps, etc...its always "how could they make this better" type of thing not "what can we do that hasnt been done before...?"

call me ignorant but i think the whole m$ and xbox thing is a piece of shit. I dont consider myself a fan of either of the "big two" in gaming consoles either. ps3 is more of a hard core console and I think its biggest titles and developments in features will be realised in the future when developers get used to its SDK environment. The new metal gear looks so cool.

All three consoles will have great titles, thats why i have about 20 different consoles.

Some games i can only get on certain platforms so it's not the manufacture that sways my gaming habbits, it's the games.

So as long as good games come out on ps3, 360, and wii i will continue to buy them.

after owning an original ping pong machine in the late 70's, a Commodore 64 through the 80's, Pentium in the early 90's, Nintendo, Playstation and Playstation 2, plus a full deck Pentium now........... I dont think Id ever get back into a console machine for gaming, a good PC does it all in my opinion.

as far as games go, console games are too expensive. Only played two games in the past 18 months both of them being online games 1st was day of Defeat: Source for 3 months, plus 40mins only of Counter Strike: Source (hate it, what a terrible game full of free hacks), but the past 850hours of gaming Ive spent on Battlefield 2. What an awesome game, every round there is something 'different' to do or try out.

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
