Thanks for sharing the invite, my Nexus 4 is getting a little long in tooth, can't wait to get this phone!

Glad I could help, I was pulling my hair out after going through the trouble of pulling cable through walls only to find that I couldn't stream 1080p from my NAS. Frodo moving from Beta to Final (and me upgrading from Eden) was about the same time I finished setting everything up. I guess...

Are you streaming files with DTS-MA or TrueHD audio tracks by any chance? I'll edit this post with how I fixed that issue in a few minutes here, need to look through my XBMC settings to remember, but I also thought it was a network speed issue. Edit: I'm not sure where you are sending the...

That would be impressive... but it's 720p just like PS3/X360, and doesn't quite match them in performance.

I am in basically the same position as you are, have a WiiU, PS3, and want AC4. Only difference is I may pick up a PS4 before the new year. Don't know if you have already made your purchase but Digital Foundry did a comparison of AC4 across all platforms. The WiiU version comes in behind the...

I agree that PC gamers are going to get hit at the end of the day, not sure what can be done about that. <Devil's Advocate> As a developer, with limited resources of time/money, why would I develop for the hardest platform first, when it stands to make me the least amount of money? I'm...

It is a current-gen console game, shouldn't we expect it to look like one? I'm not saying that's a bad thing by the way. But I don't expect next-gen graphics on PC games that are also released on current gen systems. Bump the resolution, add some AA, and make sure it runs well on PC's better...

I've been using File Renamer Basic (free version) for a long time. You can add numbers before or after file names, find/replace/delete/add strings within file names. Also you can do these operations from an arbitrary point, say 5 characters, into a filename if need be. Uses an explorer style...

Agreed with all that was said before. Depending on which country/countries you're planning on going to, you can normally buy a prepaid simcard with data (2G and 3G) for under $20. The simcard itself, in my experience, is usually around $7 (5 euro-ish) and the the prepaid data about the same...

Cool, thanks for the update. Gives me something to keep in mind if I have weird problems whenever I'm able to get my hands on one of these.

Didn't quote your images, but that awake time is the culprit. If you have root and the spare parts app you should be able to have a look at "partial wake usage" in battery history to identify a misbehaving app. I believe betterbatterystats (one word) on the market can give you that info too...

I don't remember where I read/heard this so it could be all wrong. But I seem to recall that it is a carry over from arcade games. The "start screen" would run with some type of video, gameplay or rendered, in the background. It would advertise the game and prevent burn in on those old CRT...

I think you're misunderstanding me, if a game (pc or console) isn't worth the asking price to me I don't support the developer. However, assuming a game is worth my $60, and the PC version provides the same experience (meaning WS works, adjustable/acceptable FOV, optimized controls, good...

IMHO, There are quite a few different arguments going here. I'll throw my 2 cents on each one separately. I don't follow the argument that we are paying more for games now than we used to. Like many have said, console games 10+ years ago were $60, some even higher. Nowadays the only...

All of this is my opinion, feel like that should be stated first :p I don't think a smaller team can be used as an excuse. At the end of the day all we, the consumers, want is a good game given the time frame. If a company, be it PD or Turn10 wants to have a smaller or larger team it's on...

Don't quote me on this but I believe I read that tilt control is an option on the iphone version. As for the 360 version, I also thought the controls felt wrong. I have Sonic, Sonic 2, and Sonic 3 on Live Arcade which I play regularly and they feel right. I love the new graphics and am glad...

I'm sure this isn't what you were looking for, but NFL Quarterback Club 2000 on the good old Nintendo 64 had graphic options, even down to low detail models. I remember them looking like a bunch of Frankensteins, but the game sure ran smooth with all the details turned down. It looked downright...

Agreed about the noise. Granted, I work around awfully loud aircraft so my hearing is far from great. Also agreed about the flash drive write speed, copying games to it is kinda slow, but it only has to happen once per game, or disk in the case of those pesky multi-disk games. But I've noticed...

No argument on the need for a good quality flash drive for use on the 360. However, the PS3 uses it's internal drive in a way that is very different from how it used on the 360. On the PS3, (some) games have mandatory installs while the 360 is making an image of the disc. It makes sense, to me...

I also am liking the idea of a 16 Gb flash drive to go with my Arcade. I'm still rocking the original 20Gb HD that came with my original Pro, which sadly lost a battle with a forklift. I have never played a game off of the hard drive so the decrease in noise alone would make it worth it for me...

I think there was never a complete software emulation solution. I remember reading before the PS3 launch that it contained nearly all of the PS2 hardware in it, giving those the original 20/60 Gb units a very high rate of PS2 software compatibility. The latter models containing PS2...

Does no one else hate this game?! Allow me to voice my issues, of which there are three. Firstly, this game is perfectly simple, the ball/backboard/rim physics seem quite good and there are no unnecessary graphical embellishments, leading to quick loading. Secondly, the ability to play...
