i can't seem to edit my previous post.. but the blacksite demo is pretty good, the shootout at the gas-station was great, lots of stuff can be shot to bits (like the pillars and some cover) and it was very hectic. also the last bit that went slowmo had me wowing :p

Yup, thought blacksite was very good, pity I spoiled it a bit by downloading a movie file from fileplanet yesterday which was basically the whole thing, but it didnt spoil it that bad was still awesome to play .

Blacksite was pretty cool actually! There was some hideously low res textures and quite alot of slowdown, but if they fix that, this could turn out to be quite a cool game.

Yeah I noticed the slowdown too, mostly when a lot of action took place on screen, ran very smooth besides :)

I too was also pleasantly surprised with Blacksite, although I can say it was and has been on my Radar thanks to our News department ;) With that said, the slowdown absolutely needs to get fixed, as it was truly awful in certain places. Perhaps the worse slowdown I have seen yet on a 360 game.

I definitely agree on the slow down. Some nicer interactivity with the environment would be nice. I kept butting bottles in the gas shop, hoping to see them topple over :p. Other than those two things, the demo was awesome. Just... WAY too short. Felt like only three minutes long.

Eternal Sonata is available on the Japanese marketplace. So if you have a Japanese account, you can grab it. It's all in English as well so it's perfectly playable. It's breathtaking. Fantastic music :yes: .

I agree! This brings back memories of Star Ocean to me. Very nice feel to the game.

Edit: I just find it hillarious that the main character is from a town called Ritardando :rofl:

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By madhopsman · Posted

      Surprise! We still can't get it right. With the current state of AI, the crappy software, the huge mega-corporations that back all of these idiot things, I think we are a very long way away from SAE Level 5. I, for one, will never get in one.

      Nice. September/October GA?! I'll keep following it, but won't install any preview or beta versions.

      Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
