Thread Closed Until It Be Cleaned

Seriously, posting links to youtube is one thing.

Posting your own screenshots of a game that is not release until 5 days from now, a whole other thing.

Thread Reopened

67 Comments Deleted

I mean seriously, should I really have to delete 67 comments??

My apologies to anyone whose comment I deleted and was on topic, I did my best, but literally there was about 6 pages of just pure nonsense.

I think it goes without saying keep your own screenshots out, keep the talk about pirated games out, etc.

In fact, I really do not see how there should be one comment about gameplay until the 29th. If you are so upset at that fact, go to a forum that allows discussion about pirated software. We have not, and never will, tolerate that.

With that said, it is a grey line about linking to videos on youtube, scans on other sites, etc. It is not always clear what is right and wrong in those regards. If it is a reputable, well known site, Use your discretion, and if someone feels it is inappropriate, report it, and many thanks to the members who did report this thread already. Thank you.

Thankfully around here it should be pretty easy to get a copy at a store, a friend of mine is unable to reserve his through Gameplay, so is just going to go into a store and get the PS3 version.

I imagine in denser areas it's going to be more difficult.

Ya...I'm in NYC and I didn't reserve the game. I think I am just going to try at different locations and hopefully get the game.

Also, a few Best Buys are opening at 12 AM on Tuesday. http://kotaku.com/383236/best-buy-announce...aunch-locations

If you didn't preorder the game maybe you can get there early enough to get the game.

I don't know how iCon got hold of GTA IV this early, although it is a recurring trend with GTA games to be leaked early. A curse of their popularity.

I think the dodgy camera work might be whats actually going on in the game. It takes a skilled camera man to wobble so precisely :D

My mistake, I didn't notice the edge of the screen waving around.

In summary, the guy is skilled idiot

Is there an option to put a seatbelt or something?? I thought I remebered reading something about that.. :huh:

But yea, the Euphoria animation engine is amazing in what little I have seen, I do hope other games start to use it.

My Play.com pre-order's status is now Processing, so with any luck they'll send it tonight...

That really isn't going to happen. The amount of people ordering from Play.com means that if you ordered any time within the last month and a half or so, your gonna be waiting a hell of a long time.

Incidentally, Game have a release-day delivery guarantee going, but of course thats only for us Brits. I canceled my order with Play.com to put one in with Game so that I'd get it on the day :laugh:

Why? Why is it a whole other thing

In the YouTube case, you are posting a video that shows screenshots/video gameplay from another person

In posting screenshots/video gameplay here, you are posting a video a shows screenshots/video game made by you

There is no difference.

There is quite a difference. We do not and will never promote piracy here. By posting a link to a YouTube video from a random person, nobody here is showing that they've pirated the game or purchased it earlier than they should have. But by posting your own shots, you're pretty much saying, "Yeah, it was me, I did it," and showing that you have pirated the game or otherwise obtained it earlier than you're supposed to.

Talk of piracy is not allowed here, so it should follow that promoting piracy by showing screenshots of a game you have pirated is also not allowed.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Studio MDHR has been rather silent about its next major gaming project since the release of Cuphead back in 2017. However, that ended today during the Summer Game Fest presentation, with the studio revealing not one but two project announcements. First, the studio confirmed that it is currently in the middle of developing a brand-new Cuphead game, bringing back the iconic characters for another adventure. Just like the last game, this is slated to be a fully hand-animated endeavor. This also means there isn't a release date attached to it yet. “Craftsmanship is at the heart of everything we do here at Studio MDHR,” says co-founder Chad Moldenhauer. “When it came time to peel back the curtain and share a little bit about what we’ve been up to, we couldn’t imagine a more fun way to do so than with today’s Special Bulletin. The studio is working on this new Cuphead with help from Toronto’s Stop Motion Department and Continue Agency. At the same time, Studio MDHR also revealed that another part of the team has been working on a different Cuphead installment. Dubbed the Mighty Cuphead Adventure, this is taking a different art direction to the original. "In true Studio MDHR fashion, this game goes beyond just taking inspiration from the classics of the 1980s… it is actually built with technology of the era," the studio explained. "That's right: Mighty Cuphead Adventure is programmed in assembly language and designed with the exacting specifications of the Sega Master System home gaming console in mind." Aside from releasing on PC and modern consoles, Mighty Cuphead Adventure will even be playable on the 1985-released Sega Master System. A release date has not been announced just yet.

      Any decent ITSM will A) have a web form that allows a user to raise a ticket, if you're writing an email you can write a ticket. B) Monitor a mailbox and auto-generate tickets based on inbound mails for those users that really can't get their heads around the concept that if you have an issue you go to support.mycompany.com and fill in the box. From your description you're having users email the desk, and then having a human read each one and manually raise a ticket on behalf of the user.

      Fixing things? Have you ever tried linux? Everything works out of the box nowadays in most common hardware. This includes Wifi and Bluetooth. If anything, if they return back to windows is because they haven't found an equivalent program which often used on windows.
