Anyone pick up this game? The stealth-action pace is similar to the original Splinter Cell trilogy, except substitute an array of spells for Sam's high-tech gadgets.

The spells in the game give you a lot more freedom to maneuver throughout each mission, which gives the game a lot more replay value than SC. If you wanted to be stealthy in SC/PT/CT, you really were limited to only one route through the game. Plus, you aren't able to pick up every spell the first time through.

The only disappointing aspect I found with the game is that they muted Corvo rather than giving him a badass personality. I realize they did this to try to make the gamer immerse himself in the world, but it doesn't have that effect.

I updated my drivers not too long ago, and now the card runs really hot when doing mundane things like surfing the web. The fan is on constantly and even shifts up to high, but the card makes the bottom of my laptop too hot to touch for more than 30s or so.

Is there some kind of setting in the new ATI drivers that is making this thing run at 110% all the time? I have "PowerPlay" settings checked and set to max battery...when they were set to max performance, my laptop would reset from overheating when playing games.

What a great comedy.

Buenos Tardes de Espana.

This is geared toward the people on this site with programming/network experience and knowledge.

Obviously it's not news that Sony's PSN was hacked. However, I haven't found much information about the incident other than the fact that it happened and Sony is working to fix it. It doesn't seem like the hackers were after money, since the highest yield of credit card info lies with Xbox Live, which costs money to everyone who uses it.

My question is this: Was the PSN created with inherently lower security than other console's online networks, or were they just unlucky that the hackers in question targeted them vice Microsoft or Nintendo? Links to sources would also be helpful.

Anyone want to play time now? Bonus if you live in the US. I don't even have EAX on my laptop, so all you have to do is plant proxy mines to win.

I'm going to pick this game up regardless, but has anyone read any confirmation whether or not they are bringing back multiplayer? It would be really awesome if Ubi fixed the myriad of bugs and glitches in the process... since the game will be released on a different engine, that's a strong possibility.

Now the question is, will you all finish PS if SC mp is fixed in the hd remix? There doesn't seem like much of a point if that happens

Both spy and merc visions used energy like camo?

So guys yestereday I asked when their would be a beta but my topic got moved to off-topic forums. Thta's not fair! I heard their would be a beta and I was just asking an honest question. So please seriously guys I want to know when there's a playable beta I'm really excited about PS. Kthnx.

I heard there's going to be a beta. When is it going to be released?



I just want to see how many times I can get the same topic title on the first page

So I was thinking about how gay camnet is, and how I wish there was something useful to replace it. Then I was thinking...what if the mercs had a way to zap the spy's energy? This would prevent them from using the SS and any energy using gadgets. As a bonus, you could also have the item disable spy special visions temporarily. I always found it funny that people can talk about how OP MT is and EMF ghosting is, but no one mentions how OP spy thermal vision is.

The thing is, I can't think of a way to incorporate this that would be useful. You can't make it a grenade because a frag would be better. You can't really make it a passive security item because mines are better, and zapping a spy's energy when you're not around to take advantage of him not having a SS isn't very useful in general. You could make it some kind of beam or something, but then it'd just be better to snipe the spy.

Make up a fake war movie and advertise it as authentic...movie critics will never know the difference, and the few percentage of people who will don't count anyway.

PS: I know every movie takes creative license even when based on true events. Black Hawk Down is one such movie, which was also screened by the people who were there and has a certain level of authenticity to it...at least by Hollywood standards. However, the Hurt Locker was lauded for being realistic, but has very few realistic elements in it. And I'm not talking about minor stuff like painting a humvee the wrong way.

You can remember a day when you didn't break the law? Include both with and without traffic violations.

Okay, so due to gay auto-healing and infinite lives, plus a healthy support squad at all times, I'm convinced this game can be beat without ever firing your weapon... at least on normal difficulty.

But since I don't have the time or motivation to prove it, I challenge one of y'all to do it. So hop to it! Bonus if you video tape it and send it to game developers to make them stop putting these two damn features in almost every single game. There needs to be more games with A) A limited supply of healing and B) some sort of penalty for dying. Not Castlevania 3 type penalties where the game becomes impossibly hard with that shitty whip and no items, but at least something to deter you from dying. And I don't know about you guys, but the whole hide behind a wall for a minute to regen health kinda ruins the "realism" and "immersion" aspect that IW was obviously trying to create through their atmosphere.

You are n00b.

Sincerely,

teh pr0

i think that when a merc gets knocked out , it can be very boring , for the a players . i prupose that u can make the mercs get up by pressing alt +ctrl+ del really really fast over and over . u can put a red meter on teh right side of the screen , and if you press the keys fast enough , the mercs will get up b4 the timer runs out.

k , so i know this forum is slows , but i thot of a gr8 idea that the ps devs must put in...

mercs have bullets!

ys, plz make sure that mercs still have bullets . i don't think the gaem would be very fun i they just had knives.

I just got this idea from Digital's poison thread:

Obviously the spies are faster and more mobile than mercs. Well, what if the mercs had a gadget to slow them down temporarily? I'm still thinking about how one would design such a gadget and how it would work exactly. In other words, is this something to shoot at spies? A new type of trap to plant? Hmmmzz

In the meantime, discuss.
