Mini-Review: Hauppauge HD PVR

post from Press The Buttons on 11 December 2009 02:30:00 PM. © Press The Buttons

The old aphorism teaches that a picture says a thousand words, and when it comes to sharing new information on video games, actual video of the game in question is worth at least three times that with today's exchange rates. Even if you've managed to pull off an amazing Burnout Paradise Road Rage feat or zoomed through an epic speed run of New Super Mario Bros. Wii, how do you expect to earn your Internet bragging rights without actual footage...

Gran Turismo 5 gets targeted for 'Summer 2010'
release

Gran Turismo 5 gets targeted for 'Summer 2010' release screenshot

While it hasn't quite reached Duke Nukem Forever status, Polyphony Digital's full-fledged Gran Turismo follow-up for PlayStation 3 is a long-time coming. But according to SCEA Associate Producer Chris Hinojosa-Miranda, the wait is nearly over.

During a short demo presentation of Gran Turismo 5 earlier this week, Hinojosa-Miranda re-confirmed the March 2010 release for for Japan. Without getting too specific, he then revealed that Sony was eying a vague "Summer 2010" release, which hopefully means we'll see it before leaves start falling off trees next year.

More after the jump.

Interestingly, Hinojosa-Miranda had mentioned to me that he was traveling the U.S. in the coming week to photograph cars for Polyphony's reference material. With nearly 1,000 cars in the game, it's not that big of a stretch to think that they may still be working to flesh out the game's roster. And while he wouldn't confirm how far along they were towards completing Gran Turismo 5 development, he did say this work wasn't necessarily for the current game.

"It's not for Gran Turismo 5 or a DLC release," he said, clarifying that it's constantly building on its reference material archives. After years of development and multiple Gran Turismo titles, how else do you think it's filling those garages but with non-stop research?

On the subject of DLC for the title, he said it was something it was considering, but had nothing to announce at this time.

When asked if there would be any difference between the Japanese version set for release in March and the North American version many months later, he was also non-committal, saying simply they hadn't yet revealed the full feature list. Details, he told me, would be coming soon.

Those looking to get their hands on Gran Turismo 5 won't have to wait until next year -- a demo for the game hits PlayStation Network next week.

NEWS - European PS3 players won't have to wait much longer to get a hold of the critically acclaimed Braid. HotHead games announced today that they are bringing the indie puzzle-platformer to the European Playstation Store on December 17th for €9.99.

While Braid was originally released on the Xbox Live Arcade last summer, to great reviews, the recently released North America PS3 version managed to score a higher aggregate rating (at the current time) and earn the sixth spot on Metacritic's 10 highest rated games of the year with a 93%. Don't worry my European friends, you will just have to wait a little bit longer before you and our little hero Tim can manipulate time on your Playstation 3.

Fanboy Friday: Quantum Theory Edition

Fanboy Friday: Quantum Theory Edition screenshot

This close to the holidays, there's not much going on in the way of new releases. Instead, fanboys use December to argue and fight about trivial pieces of news. This week, we'll be taking a look at a video response from each side to the earth-shattering news that Quantum Theory is no longer a PS3 exclusive, and a few unrelated-yet-hilarious videos from some...interesting...fanboys.

Hit the jump.

To fanboys, there's nothing worse than when a game that was exclusive to your console goes multi-platform. By the same token, there's nothing that fanboys love gloating about more. Why everyone is so excited about this particular game, I'm not really sure, but this 360 fan is reveling in his victory.

Not so fast, friend. Mr. Skull Handkerchief has a few things to say.

video details and more

Skull masks are a popular theme this week. I have no idea what this guy is going on about, or why he's so angry, but it has something to do with Modern Warfare 2.

video details and more

This guy has a 'hilarious' story to tell you, and also feels the need to randomly burp on camera. I bet he gets all the ladies.

video details and more

And finally, we'll wrap up with one of the stupidest videos I've seen in a long, long time. Nice hat, jackass.

video details and more

See you next week.
