Man, they better make this one good. There will be a preview of the game in the upcoming OT DVD set, and here's the press release for it:

Of course it's not coming out for the GC, so if it's any good you better get an X-Box, ABF. :)
Yesterday you may or may not have heard nVidia's announcement and showcase of its new $500 graphics card which is due out at the end of May. It's so powerful that Epic Games is finally able to show off its Unreal Engine 3 technology at a decent framerate. The engine won't be around til sometime in 2006. There's a video floating around the internet now showing the power of the engine and the video card, and if you drooled watching Half-Life 2 and Doom III videos, you're REALLY in for a treat now.
The resolution and overall quality of the video really doesn't do it justice, but since it is motion you can get a better idea than you would with still images imo.
We're saying goodbye to our expensive cable internet and going with something like DSL. I just started looking at prices and realizing that I hate shopping. So I ask upon the minions of the City of Tendo to tell me what home service I can get that comes with internet.
I'm in Florida, in Winter Park (Orlando).
Guide my hand fellow Tendites! Guide it like you were masturbating a fragile infant! Help me find affordable, quality service in my area! *theme to Indiana Jones*
Seems Ubisoft is at the very least porting this game. Not sure if they are doing more though. I'll say this, if it's basically a port job it's a rather sucky thing... Gee, should I get the free version for the system it was originally designed for with a mouse and keyboard setup and free updates with many new features added every now and then, or the $50 version ported to a system it was not designed for with a potentially clunkier setup that likely will only have extra content via XBox Live which will likely be charged for? Hard decision...
Unless this is more than a port job, I hoenstly don't care about this.
Has anyone seen the commercials for this new Gamecube game (also on PC)? I mean, they might as well have written "We played shots of the game while the absolute worst actor we could find read stuff into a cheap microphone". I mean, it's about the most amateur thing I've seen.
Note how many publishers have no or little listed NGC titles... nothing on that list for Cube from Vivendi, Ubisoft, and Atari (the French have abandoned the Cube...) Konami (though they have GBA ones), and less from most of the rest...
But when I look at the list Nintendo has I know why I stick with Nintendo anyway.
