A pretty good idea of what revcon will be like if it were made playable for 1080 Snowboarding. notice how he brakes and does tricks; The Revcon litteraly becomes the snowboard. If you ever thought how the fuck is the revcon going to work, this should be a good example of how 3-D control can update 2-D control in to something new.

Some of you might remember that in Japan there was snowboard kids-esque game that came with a mini-snowboard that could attach to your PS2 controller over the anal sticks. You position your fingers on it as if they were legs and virtually snowboard. it was pretty awesome and i was hoping more games like that would be made, but this demo takes it to next level. Looks like alot of fun (although this guy seems to suck a little)

My theory is that he's holding the fake Revcon in his right hand and a GC pad in his left (off camera)

Silent Hill 1 Re-Release?
Actress suggests Konami's readying a remake of sorts.

Someone may have finally done it; someone in Hollywood may have finally understood what it takes to adapt a videogame properly for the silver screen. Silent Hill fans are understandably anxious for the release of the Christophe Gans-directed take on Konami's survival horror series, but thankfully, word on the movie has been nothing but good.
In fact, buzz on Silent Hill has been positive enough that Konami may even take a look at tweaking the original game to capitalize on the movie's potential success. Fan run website Silent Hill forum picked up a copy of the latest issue of horror magazine Fangoria, where Konami's apparently expressed a surprising amount of praise for Gans and his work.

Gans has already agreed to participate in a Silent Hill sequel if the movie does well next month, and he's even looking into adapting another one of the company's franchises - may we suggest the long awaited Metal Gear Solid movie?

Most interesting to gamers, though, should be the idea that Konami's allegedly interested in remaking the original Silent Hill and replacing the original male lead of Harry Mason with the film's female lead, Mason's wife. When Konami was contacted about the possibility, though, public relations head Marc Franklin said "this is just a rumor."

An all-new Silent Hill won't be released on the current generation machines, but with plenty of life still in PlayStation 2 and the like, a revisiting to Silent Hill's origins certainly couldn't be out of the question. We'll be crossing our fingers, and so should you.

It makes sense, replacing the lead character, using the graphics engine of SH 4 and sending the game out with a price around 30 bucks. Movie tie in plus it would be awesoome to boot, as SH is one of my favorite games would love to see it remade. I dunno about playing as the wife though... story wise it wouldn't make sense. So maybe it'll be something like you play silent Hill rght BEFORE Harry gets there, or he arrives during the game and you never meet, etc. That would work.

Come on konami, we know you wanna try out the revcon... do it. DO it...... DO it.

Quote:To whom it may concern:

Several months ago, I purchased a Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router, Model WRT54G, from the Best Buy in Sherman, Texas. This particular router came with a $30 rebate, $15 from Best Buy and $15 from Linksys. I took the necessary steps to receive this two rebates and eagerly awaited my promised cash return. Perhaps a month later, I receieved a check from Best Buy in the amount of $15.

Today, I received a helpful reminder from Linksys that I had forgotten to send in a UPC from the router box. Now this was an odd thing, for I had made sure to put the UPC I cut off the box into the envelope I sent to your company. I took out the router's box and, sure enough, the UPC was no longer present. In conclusion, I would be delighted to follow the instructions given by the helpful reminder, unfortunately this is impossible given the fact that I ALREADY SENT IN THE UPC TO YOUR COMPANY.

I fully realize that it is now impossible for me to receive my promised $15 and that this email will accomplish absolutely nothing. However, I am quite upset by this "ordeal" and do no simply wish to drop it and forget everything. I was promised that $15, and in fact my purchase of your product was influenced by the self-same promise, and now this promise has been broken by your company, for whatever reason.

I sincerely hope this was a legitate mistake and the UPC was simply lost somewhere along the way, however, I will, in the future, take care to avoid purchasing anymore products from your company.

P.S. In the attached file you will find a picture of the original box complete with the missing UPC code, which I myself cut off and placed in the original letter to your company.

This is always a fun game :)

I'll go first.....

Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom for PS3











um... lol? is it just me or do these graphics look worse than 360? The game isn't done yet, but it's a launch title which means that by now most of the work is going to be bug fixes and testing. So, yeah... this is the 1080i 120 frames per second made of angel hymen behemoth of a gaming mecha? it looks like a bump-mapped PS2 game... I compare it to animal droppings.

Get this, a company has gained the rights to release a large number of "Quest" collections. I think I may just get ALL of them, for one single reason. They are actually fixing all the bugs and are making them all fully compatible with Windows XP.

Basically, it seems to be King's Quest, Police Quest, Space Quest, and Quest for Glory collections.

Since those various games, in various ways, seem to comprise a large number of the reasons I hold onto my old Windows 98SE OS, this is pretty nice.

Also, I highly suggest anyone who missed out on KQ6 pick up the KQ collection. That game is simply awesome.

Edit: I misread. Quest for Glory is not announced as a collection. Leisure Suit Larry is. That's annoying. With all ABF has said about it, I was really looking forward to a collection of those games.

Sony Forced To Pull PS2 Off The Market?
Immersion wins Dual Shock patent case.
by James Cranston
March 15, 2006 - The Latest reports indicate that Sony has lost a patent case against Immersion technologies, for it's dual shock Playstation 2 controller. Below is the article from Bit-Tech:

Immersion last year sued Sony for infringing on its patents. Immersion claims that it owns the technology that powers the rumble in Sony's Dual Shock controllers. It also sued Microsoft for its rumble features in the Xbox, but the boys from Redmond settled out of court.

Sony fought on, and lost a case last year. However, it's been allowed to continue selling the PS2 pending appeal. If the latest reports are verified, it's lost that appeal today.

This means that Sony not only has to pony up and awful lot of cash to Immersion Technologies, but it has to stop infringing on the patent - that means stop selling kit which includes Dual Shock technology, and that means pulling the PS2 off the shelf.

Commentators are wondering if this case is the reason for the PS3 controller redesign that we've seen - it's possible the horrendous boomerang monstrosity doesn't infringe on patents.

Interestingly, Immersion is owned in part by Nintendo. The next-generation battle just took another twist...

If these reports are true, then pulling the PS2 off the market is a huge blow against Sony. With PS2 currently being Sony's strongseller in the home console markets, the company with lose a HUGE proportion of its profits, as well as having to pay a large sum to Immersion. Also there had been rumours of Sony developing a Revmote style controller for use with outcoming PS2 titles. I guess losing the patent won't stop Sony from retailing the device (if it existed), but if the PS2 is already off the market...

To finish up, the long awaited fanboy boasting, seeing as Immersion is partly owned by Nintendo... NINTENDOWNED!

Funny.

This probably means that the PS2 will be repackaged with that boomerang thing which will also be the PS3 controller which is based off a third party PS1 controller. Sony is the only company I know of that can turn the word innovate in to a four-letter explanative. Way to work the patent office, Ken. I hope all the zeros in the check equal your litteral penis length.
