About pre-ordering on steam.
Will I download the game earlier and on launch it becomes playable, or "unlocking" means that after that the download will start?
I would say yes, but don't play it too much in one setting as it can get repetitive. Nevertheless its still a very good game with clever puzzles and well hidden item placements.Originally Posted by Roto13
Does Trine get better past the part covered in the demo? I enjoyed the demo, and I'm considering buying the full game, but not if it's consistently only this good until the end. (If it matters, I'm talking about the PS3 version.)

Mario. It's the Mario brothers, so his name is Mario Mario.
To be clear, that was just a joke, despite being called the Mario brothers, there's no other suggestion that is their surname. They're only ever refereed to as Mario and Luigi.Originally Posted by Supervlieg

What is the advantage to Tesselation?
I see it as easy way to add more detail just by having hand-painted maps.
It adds polygonal detail and extrusion.
But let's say, in a console environment: There is only one range of assets (disregarding LOD models). Isn't it faster to just run pre-modelled (high-poly) models then to enhance lower quality models with tess mapping?
Tesselation is just more poly detail & extrusion by mapping applied to a base model?

How many versions of anti-aliasing exist? Is MLAA considered the best? Which one offers the best balance between quality and performance? How do I know which ones my graphics card supports?

I'm not really sure how I should articulate this :
I have a steam account, with a bunch of games. I like having this online-library of games. But sometimes I find games that are much much cheaper in physical stores than on steam.
Let's say that I bought crysis warhead in a random gamestore ( which I did ) can I somehow someway "connect" this physical copy to my steamlibrary? Like via the cd-key or whatever, so that in the end it would be as IF I bought the game from steam itself.
Or am I just being a madman here?

There's some games that you can do this with (https://support.steampowered.com/kb_...7480-wusf-3601 ), but Crysis Warhead is not one of them.Originally Posted by Corky

You can put non-Steam game shortcuts in Steam and play them with the Steam overlay.
oh cool man thanks,
Bah none of the games I've bought are supported x(, guess I'll just toss in those shortcuts then.

I don't know for sure, but with a little knowledge of electronics I think I can deduce a good answer:Originally Posted by Wario64
Why did you have to hold reset then power to save your game on NES?
When you turn off the power on many electronic devices, there's still a little bit of current going through the system thanks to capacitors discharging. I suspect that the capacitor discharge inside the NES had the nasty effect of randomly corrupting/deleting the save data on the cartridge. Holding the reset button cuts the power to the cartridge, thus keeping the capacitor discharge from wreaking havoc.
What the hell is a "tango" that they're always going on about in military dudebro shooters? (well obviously an enemy, but why the name "tango"?)
What ever happened to Microcabin?

Tango is the military word for the letter "T". In this case, it's short for "target". Tango down.

I just bought a new 360 headset because my last one seemed to be busted. I can hear other players voices just fine, but mine is very quiet even at the highest volume and half the time it doesn't seem to even pick up my voice. I have tried various head sets, I made sure my volume is set at "10" in the xbox menus and I have even tried swapping controllers but in the end, my voice is still very quiet. Has any one ever had a problem with a system being shitty in this regard? Or is it normal for your voice to be really quiet in voicemails and for it not to always pick up in games?

The 360 game? Unless the caves are in other countries (and there's no way to know that either way), the entire game takes place in Japan and is basically about Storm team.Originally Posted by _dementia

I'm not sure I'd call this a stupid question but I can't make threads yet so:
I'm looking for difficult but fair platformer or action games with relatively simple gameplay that urge a "I know I can do better next time!" attitude. On any platform. If it's retro or a modern retro aesthetic, I'm all the happier.
I'm coming off games like VVVVVV, Bit.Trip Runner, N+, and L'abbaye de Morts. Also, freel free to recommend games that fit this category but have a little more depth to the gameplay like Viewtiful Joe and God Hand.
Anyone care to recommend some?
And, yes, I'm extremely excited for Super Meat Boy!
Also, I'm not interested in "endless" games like Canabalt and Doodle Jump where there's no end to the level.

Is there a way to play a PSN purchase on a friends PS3? I'm taking Move over to show him, and I'd like to play Tumble and Flight Control HD with him without having to carry the entire console. I know on the 360 if you download your gamertag you can download and play any Live Arcade purchases as long as you're connected to Xbox Live.
Why does everyone beg for a FFVII remake when an FFVI one would be infinitely better?
Yes. Create another PSN account on his PS3 under your name. Then DL all the stuff and disassociate your PSn off his PS3 when you're done. Convulted but it works.Originally Posted by InaudibleWhispa

Do you own an NES? If so, get the homebrew game Battle Kid: Fortress of Peril.
Gold star for anyone who knows the answer to this. When did Sony first switch over to those flimsy PS2 cases that have the "PS" logo in place of the memory card holder above where the disc sits? Anyone know the first game that used these cases?
