2. Back to her best?

   
   Comment by Chris — Sep 25, 2008 @ 12:41 pm

3. Will it be as good as Uncharted, being multi-platform it’s probably not making the most of the ps3’s features

   
   Comment by Chris — Sep 25, 2008 @ 12:43 pm

4. That whole scene looks just like an early part of Uncharted…

   I’ve missed Tomb Raider. Legend just served to frustrate me, as I thought the original PS1 version was better.

5. Will it be as achingly-good-looking but mind-numbingly dumbed-down as legend and anniversary?

   Will there be intertwined, labyrinthine levels or will they all be hollow cubes with easy to follow routes?

   Will there be fiendish puzzles or will the game revolve around repetitive monkey-jumps and gunplay?

   I think we should be told…

6. Above all else i enjoyed the storyline of legend, tomb raider really isnt known for its cinematic experience =)

7. Character animation looks better than Drakes. I hope the puzzles are a bit more imaginative than some of the last tomb raiders - i.e. let’s not have so many crates to slide and switches to pull please.

12. I thought I was watching an Uncharted patch where you get to play as Elena ( I think her name was ) through the early levels. I prefered Soul Reaver to Lara any day.

16. Almost as funny as charging more for the downloadable version of “Burnout Paradise” than you can buy it for on Blu-ray…

    PowerPlayDirect £23.49
    DVD{dot}co{dot}uk - £24.97
    Amazon (UK) £24.98
    Play{dot}com £24.99
    zavvi (nee Virgin Megastores) £25.00
    Sendit £25.69
    The HUT/Asda Entertainment £25.73
    Currys/Dixons (online) £25.73
    LoveFilm £25.73

    I bet your can get the PSP versions for much less too (I’ll research the prices if anybody asks).

    SOCOM Confrontation Public Beta 1.40 Patch Incoming
    Posted by Seth Luisi
    We are happy to announce that the SOCOM Confrontation Public Beta 1.40 Patch will be released on Friday, September 26th, at 1200 GMT/UTC (8am EDT, 5am PDT, 1pm BST, 9pm JST).

    The SOCOM Confrontation 1.40 patch addresses the following issues:

    Fixed an issue which was causing an abnormally large number of simultaneous kills.
    Optimized the Armory so that selecting weapons, attachments and general menu navigation are much faster.
    Fixed another issue where you could get stuck in spectator cam when late joining a game.
    Fixed an issue where occasionally late joiners would have very low framerate and crash when exiting a game.
    Fixed an issue where occasionally late joiners would have no audio.
    Statistics improvements. Statistics are now being tracked at the team level and not the player level. This will ensure stats are tracked for dropped and late joining players.
    Further improved load times for late joiners.
    Fixed several stability issues.
    The following changes were made based on user feedback:

    Added new burst firing accuracy tuning when moving. You are now more accurate for the initial burst while moving but accuracy deteriorates as you continue to fire more shots.
    Scopes are now accurate.
    The select screen scoreboard is now exited by pressing the select button.
    Improved tiebreaker rules.
    New HUD animation to indicate when you are reloading.
    Crosshairs now turn grey when your magazine is empty.
    We are actively looking into the following issues which are known to exist in the 1.40 patch. These issues will be fixed in a future update.

    The select screen scoreboard, round complete and game complete screens appear blank.
    Infrequently, some users loose controller functionality for a couple of seconds.
    Please note, this patch also adds game logic to limit the number of people who can late join a game to 5 at a time. If more than 5 people attempt to late join the game you receive a “Game Full” error even though there are still slots in the game. This will be improved in a future update.

    Also note, the network latency detection has been added back in. We believe that we have now worked out most of the issues with this. Please report in the SOCOM Confrontation PlayStation.com forums if you are seeing the “red X” disconnect icon under normal gameplay conditions.

    Regards,
    SOCOM Confrontation Online Team

    EA: Mirror’s Edge Demo won’t be released today
    Posted: 25.09.2008 08:23 by Jamie Comments: 0
    Digital Games reports that a demo for Mirror’s Edge will be released today on the Xbox Live Marketplace and PlayStation Network, although EA has told Strategy Informer that this story is a result of confusion from a press release that was sent out earlier this month.

    “I am afraid this news story is result of confusion in the press release issued earlier this month. The Pre-orders will go live as of tomorrow but the demo will be going live at a later date.” said the EA Spokesperson.

    Shame, we were hoping this was going to be true.
