Can a soldier be as powerful as an F-16? We find out in Ubisoft Paris’ latest installment in the Ghost Recon series.
The ability to be invisible has long been a dream of government scientists, keen to get the upper hand on their enemies. In the world of Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, that dream has become a reality. Cloaking devices that distort light, mechanical exoskeletons that double strength, and modular assault rifles that adapt to any situation are just some of the high-tech devices that developer Ubisoft Paris has included in its new squad-based third-person shooter. “War has changed,” according to producer Jean Bernard Jacon, who claims that “the soldier of the future is an F-16 on legs.” From our first look at the game, it’s clear that Jacon’s description isn’t far off the mark. These soldiers pack a serious amount of heat, and they mean business.
Nvidia releases the GeForce GTX 480 and GeForce GTX 470. They’re scorchers in more than one way.
Nvidia has been noticeably absent from the video card scene over the past few months. In the meantime, ATI launched an entire DirectX11 lineup, top to bottom, and then had time to funnel some chips into the notebook scene. The Santa Clara GPU manufacturer should have combated ATI’s Radeon 5000 series months ago, but delays tripped them up a bit. To make sure they weren’t forgotten completely, Nvidia released details about the Fermi chip a few months back. The company now has the hardware to back up the paper. Nvidia unveiled the GeForce GTX 480 and the GeForce GTX 470, high-end cards that pack a big fiery punch in many ways. Unfortunately (also in a rather papery way) the cards won’t hit retail until April 12.

UPDATE 2] Following nearly 24 hours of the “ApocalyPS3,” afflicted units of Sony’s console begin to come back online, initially with an erroneous date; this evening, Sony sounds official all clear, blames false leap-year reading. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s probably just a 24 hour bug, but you’ll want to leave your glitchy PS3’s off

By Brian Ekberg, GameSpotThe folks behind the Project Gotham series are back with a new look at arcade racing.
If you believe the current wisdom, the racing genre has become stale and repetitive. Simply running mindless lap after lap or competing with a compelling AI (or real-life opponents online) isn’t enough anymore; as a result, racing fans feel like the genre has hit a rut. Our personal feelings about the fallacy of those arguments aside, that conventional wisdom is forcing developers–particularly those who concentrate on arcade racing games–to take a hard look at their games and try to discover new ways to keep racing fans engaged. Bizarre Creations knows a thing about racing games and user engagement–they’re the folks responsible for the long-running Project Gotham Racing series. Moving on from PGR, and now part of the Activision fold, Bizarre recently took the wraps off its latest racing project, Blur.
