Bugs in Borderlands

ááááááááááááá 340x_borderlands_box_art

The new one, and interesting, game of Gearbox Software (gone on sale for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360) it seems to be giving to his buyers more headaches of the wished ones.

And the fact is that, although Borderlands is a very attractive proposal for the lovers of the shooters and the RPG (it is one of those who head my list of wished for what stays of year), the appearance of diverse bugs in the game is generating the whole good series of problems to some of his users.

In addition to children bugs technical here and there, what turns out to be more worrying is that many users are having much more serious problems at the time of getting connected online and playing the cooperative way (that is one of the biggest values of the title), going so far as to lose completely his advances with his personages and receiving the ominous message of, “I file of kept corrupt”.

It is the good news that in Gearbox they are perfectly conscious of the problem and are working to marches forced to solve it. The bad ones are that, once again, a game goes on sale without the sufficient testing. And that is beginning being already too common.

Capcom will take his M Framework to Wii

Capcom_Logo_Color_01

Very well, you will say to me: and what game is this?. Since none, in fact, I turn out to be forced to answer.

M Framework is not at all more neither more nor less than the graphic engine of new generation that Capcom has using in his qualifications for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. Qualifications as Resident Evil 5 or nearer and nearer Lost Planet 2.

In expectation of official assertion on the part of Capcom, the porteo of this engine it opens several interesting development routes to Wii. On the one hand, it will save costs and development time for the games of the Japanese company for Wii. For other, and much more encouraging, it opens the door for simultaneous developments for three consoles.

Until Capcom should not declare himself we will not be able to say anything, of course, but the hopes of the users of Wii to be able to enjoy games like said Resident Evil 5 have given a big step of confirming to him this information. Unless the engine is thought for a new console with HD …

Dare to show the belt of the NES to yourself

If yours the video games are, it is probable that you feel special admiration and nostalgia for the games of the games console NES, not in vain they marked an epoch and thousands of children and not so children enjoyed hours and hours with his typical games, many of them turned already in outstanding figures, that, in spite of his graphic simple-mindedness they were providing diversion to us in abundance.

For all those that want to show to the world that they have not forgotten the NES, there has been born a very special belt that is characterized by his showy buckle with form of control of the old games console.

The price of this so showy belt and with which you will mark the difference is 45 dollars (30 dollars the buckle + 15 dollars the leather belt), nevertheless you can buy only the buckle to adapt it to any belt that you take as a house.

You can buy it here (They do mailing to the whole world). Do you cheer up to show this so special complement?

Piece of news DSi before end of year

ááááááááá dsi272

Since yes, checkers and gentlemen. Before this 2009 finishes we will have on the Japanese market (we will see already when a new model of Nintendo DSi comes to our country and to the rest of Europe).

Seemingly, the only change with regard to the current version is that one has chosen to increase lightly the size of the screens of the console. Not at all so drastic as to touch those who already possess a DSi, but sufficiently to improve the product facing the new possible users.

According to Nikkei, a Japanese news service, Nintendo will announce officially shortly the throwing of this new model that, therefore they could have known, will support the same price as the current DSi and will not include any progress beyond the mentioned one.

As always, when we should know something more we will communicate it to you immediately, especially if it is a question of date of issue in Spain, skylight.

Comparative Ninja Gaiden 2: PS3 vs 360

ninja-gaiden-2-07

We have already commented to you in some occasion on it interesting that are usually the comparative ones between the versions of pompous games for Xbox 360 and PS3. At least if these are well realized, skylight, that there are someone that try to be provided with a dogmatic air that, for absence of means and pretentiousness, they them turn into somewhat sultry spectacles.

In the case that today occupies us, we are going to comment on the comparative one that in Eurogamer they have realized between Ninja Gaiden 2 of Xbox 360 and recent Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 of PS3.

As always, you have at the end of the post the tie to the original article, which I you recommend to read earnestly, although it is in English.

For the prompt thing, the comparative one he emphasizes that although the version PS3 of the game yes reaches them 720p of native resolution and that the treatment of the lighting is top, to obtain it certain present details have sacrificed themselves in his compensation in Xbox 360 (the blood, the number of simultaneous enemies and the framerate, for example). As in other recent games, the different architecture and services of every console does that it is impossible to squeeze both in a similar way, and that every version has his strong points and, of course, dweebs.

And I finish here, that I prefer that you go to the original web and you extract your conclusions yourselves. Another day we will speak about the sacrifices that games as Uncharted 2 or Forza 3 have had to realize to be like are.

Father kills son for lost video game

This is one of this news that the spiky hairs put to one and that does not do any grace to him to have to give. And the fact is that as it is possible to read in a local newspaper of Houston (Houston Chronicle), a father killed his son of a shot after a discussion about a lost video game.

We do not want to enter details, which for that are already other means, but the situation diminishes tragically to: 40-year-old male in the inebriation state, discussion with his wife on a video game that does not find, the son intermediate in the dispute and the father extracts a gun and shoots the son, who dies almost to the moment.

Later the father (for calling it somehow), went out fleeing, only to end up by exhausting some hours later a team SWAT.

It is quite clear that the video game in itself was only the spark that lit the wick, as it it might have been any other thing, but it will be necessary to see how it talks each other in according to that means the news. Because it seems that for some the world of the video game is something to eradicate, while the emission of series and programs of doubtful morality in infantile schedule is completely honorable. And I am not thinking exclusively about the chain that you already will imagine.

Netflix comes to PS3

netflix-logo

Today it touches another good news that, in fact, for us it is not so much. Although he has announced to himself that next month will come the service Netflix to PS3 (as it was already doing it some time ago for Xbox 360), again the Spanish we remain with the desire, and there is nothing announced with his exit in our country.

Netflix basically is, certainly, a service of rent of movies and series both in high definition and in standard definition, in that only there is paid a monthly quota (8.99 dollars a month).

Anyway, we will keep on hoping that the service should come to our consoles, should be one or other one. On the other hand, we still keep on hoping that the rent and buy of movies should come to our PS3, so I do not know if to be very optimistic on this matter or not.

To close a little the topic and negative did not become, one of the co-founders of Netflix (Reed Hastings) has mentioned recently that his desire is that his service comes to all the consoles (included Wii) and, even, to the proper Blu-ray breeding animals. I hope we will see it prompt somewhere here.

On Resistance 2 and Insomniac

ááááááááá resistance_2_artwork_pics_3-11

I joust when the first rumors on a third delivery begin to take body, from the proper Insomniac one has mentioned to the specializing press that they are disappointed enough by the reception that Resistance 2 had on the part of the users of PS3.

In spite of a few reasonable sales, it seems that the majority of the most loyal group of followers of the saga (is it possible to name saga to anything that only takes three deliveries, counting that of PSP, on the market?) he considers one defeat to be this second part.

Be already because the expectations were excessive or because the modifications with regard to the first delivery were not causing the awaited result, the fans of the original delivery did not finish very satisfied with the consequence, despite the Insomniac effort in improving the component online of the same one.

At personal level, I think that the loss of the cooperative campaign (although it should go only to divided screen) took enough grace from him to the title, despite the appearance of a cooperative way and his missions. Otherwise, I liked both games enough, and I have spent very good moments in his respective multiplayers.

In any case, I hope for the third part impatiently.
