If you’re wondering what happened to Episode 405, it was recorded, but Jonah’s power supply self-destructed, and wasn’t available til Wednesday, and by then it was too late to post it. (It will be posted at some point in the near future.)
Instead, check out these week’s news:
- Afro Samurai 2 removed from online stores, players get refunded, episodes 2 and 3 canceled
- Activision apologizes for Nuk3town pre-order mix up
- PlayStation 4 is getting PlayStation 2 emulation, Sony reveals
- Electronic Arts doesn’t want to “nickel and dime” gamers with microtransactions
Question of the Week: Do you or have you pulled videogame all-nighters on weeknights?
Reportedly we’re going to see smaller 45 nanometer cell processors in 2009 which leads to similar cost savings as we saw in the Xbox 360 hardware. Cost savings appear on the manufacturing side, of course, along with less power consumed by the processor leading to less heat generated by the console.
E3’s PlayStation 3 press release really started with Resistance 2. They show off a good deal of battle footage against a 300 foot leviathan in the middle of a crumbling city. The game definitely cries “scale” in terms of epic battles, monsters and emotional feel.
