Hiroshi Yamauchi “The” Nintendo guy has passed away.
Cause of death is pneumonia.
location of death at a hospital in central Japan.

He will be missed by many gamers

Some quotes from Hiroshi Yamauchi

I think the game industry is maturing in different ways to those I imagined
Gamers don’t just want beautiful graphics, sounds and epic stories
We cannot guarantee interesting and fun games just by using better technology and increasing the functions of the machines
[People who play RPGs are] “depressed gamers who like to sit alone in their dark rooms and play slow games.”
I have been saying this for some time, but customers are not interested in grand games with higher-quality graphics and sound and epic stories. Only people who do not know the video game business would advocate the release of next-generation machines when people are not interested in cutting-edge technologies

GTA V on PC? How Soon?

Posted onAuthorTruXterLeave a comment

The question on all pc gamers minds is “Will GTAV make it to pc gaming?”.
Experienced pc gamers who have been playing Grand Theft Auto games from the beginning on pc, know for fact that GTAV will come 6-7 months after the release of the console version. as seen in this poll of what platform GTAV should come on.
GTA always does.

but if you are in need of some comfort. Here Is proof of the platforms that GTAV will be seen on. of course since that page was created, Rockstar has taken down the pc version. but there is now a blank spot which is all I have to give you with that.

but of course there are a handful of console gamers out there running their usual slag, bragging and bashing pc gamers.
Me responding to some clown on Facebook about pc gamers are butthurt and full of excuses why they’re not hissy fitting about GTAV on pc yet.

nope not buthurt. Just waiting
We know you console tards are going to brag and run spoilers for the next few months.
and then come April, you will see the graphics are better, handling is more realistic and audio is better.

You will have just sold your 360 for the new whatever.. but now will sell your “next gen” console for merely $100 so you can have a few more bucks for ram to upgrade your piece of s4!t computer.

Your computer will lag and freeze and you will cry “memory leak in GTA V” just as you have done for years.

Then you will take your Newb tard @$$ and your “most techy friend” up to frys and buy “the best of everything” and never once consider the capabilities of each component.. and again your peice of s41t will lag and freeze and you will scream “MEMORY LEAK DAMN IT!! LISTEN TO ME” …. and your cries will fade as the pc gamers will ignore you and continue enjoying the game

The way it was meant to be

you are a guinea pig and getting the beta version.

For years, Rockstar games has released GTA on console first, then worked like mad scientist cobbler elves to make a ppc version of GTA.
Last release of a Grand Theft Auto game was rough, because lots of newbs couldn’t build a GTA computer. and many more couldn’t make their current computer play the game.

Hold tight pc gamers. Grand Theft Auto Five will come to computers

Console Gaming is the Envy Sport

Posted onAuthorTruXterLeave a comment

First console out of the gates is the XBox one . They have to make it look beefy. Everyone hates the looks of it. Everyone swears they will jump on the PlayStation because the Xbox looks stupid. Xbox one is rumored to release just in time for early adapters to buy the console for thanksgiving so family and friends will be begging for it by Christmas

They will announce some hardware that we are on the cusp of releasing to the public, but since it is Microsoft (the company long accused of making operating systems built to force you to buy more hardware) they will have some massive machinery in it. That “will never be in computers”. but there will be a version of that hardware on the market one month after the console is released. Then comes a million reproductions. then comes machinery that is better, yet, the existing operating systems identify it just fine.

Day of launch comes, the stripped down basic version is the price that Microsoft said the full version is, only reason people accept it is because they wanted to do the camp out thing on launch day and they justify it because the stripped version comes with a free control and 2 gigs more storage than originally stated for the stripped version.

All of the rich console kiddies jump on the Xbox, even though the Xbox now costs $200 more than the already inflated price first announced.
Then Play station announces they will release in a month. So Xbox releases the full extended blown up package, and the first edition stripped version can not upgrade to it. So the kiddies sell their xbox 1 early version for less than half it’s original cost and round up another $700 for the Elite.

Meanwhile kids are playing GTAV on their console calling kids with computers “poor and ignorant”

Then comes the pc release of GTAV and it comes with better graphics. The console kiddies say “so I already played it, it’s stupid ” then they see the new graphics, so they sell their Xbox for not even 25% of initial cost, and they loaded up on “the best parts” that are in no sequence any good for/with each other.

They buy the game and their computer locks up (due to buying the most expensive crap that the salesperson could mesh together) so they scream “MEMORY LEAK IN THE GAME” and throw internet tantrums and scream and cry about how GTA is always Bwoken. Then they pout, show videos of them selves stomping on their “badass loaded computer”. Youtube will be full of them.and then pout away. after several months they run and buy a new xbox.

They get home and unwrap Their newest Xbox after playing six times in the bubble wrap, and reach over and grab their 9 year old little sister’s laptop to run to the internet and tell everyone how they just purchased the Elite pro excelsior version of Xbox one. The one that has spinny wheels and a mounting bracket for your douche.

When they see right there in the advertisement section of their favorite social network.

PS4 basic comes with an extra small motorized fleshlight attached and virtual reality glasses. For just $600.

Remember kids. The console that releases first, is the one with the spoiled brats who complain about everything. Yes that’s right “Early adapters” are spoiled hipster brats.

Kinect Idea first person shooter Virtual reality

Posted onAuthorTruXter

Okay.. Picture this .

You are in a six square acre room with sensors all over the place, you put on your laser-tag chest-plate, both of your virtual reality gloves with your PSvita strapped on your back between your shoulder blades, you put your helmet on with Kinect modified to snap to both sides. You grab your old nintendo duck hunt gun, and strap on a new version of your old Virtual reality glasses. and your best surround sound head phones. and fanny pack full of batteries that recharge based on leg movement. your wireless Wii-remote (for a dagger or a whip) at your hip.

A timer goes off and an entire setting rolls across your glasses. a Virtual reality battlefield. you move left, the setting in your glasses moves precisely with you. You jump up, your video appears you are jumping.

Every time you reload your gun, you are actually just changing batteries.

100s of scenarios previously installed. Multi-player mode or single player training mode. Maybe some terrain alterations such as hills and things.

And to top it off, online version also, so the champs of one Virtual First person Shooter capture the flag or king of the kill or bomb defusal can go against the champs of another location. Possibly in china,Arizona,Germany or anywhere.

This is a sport I would love to watch. This is a sport I would participate in.
It could even get perfected with help of the military for military training.
Cowboys and Indians mode???

this takes paintball, laser-tag, call of duty and every other first person shooter adventure every boy has played since he was a child and brings it to a new level.
And this is the downside

from Rockstar games website post

From Rockstar’s page

Today, we’re proud to announce that Grand Theft Auto V is expected to launch worldwide spring 2013 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Developed by series creator Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto V takes place in a re-imagined, present-day Southern California in the largest and most thriving game-world we have ever created set in the sprawling city of Los Santos and for miles beyond – from the tops of the mountains to the depths of the ocean.

Starting next week November 5, 2012, Grand Theft Auto V will become available for pre-order everywhere and fans can expect a host of new information to become available in November.

Look for downloadable desktop versions of the brand new artwork above coming very soon.

We all kind of knew it when we saw the release of the tenth anniversary for Vice city, was the launch of the Android/Iphone version of GTA Vice City.
Hmm wonder when we will gta liberty city and city stories released.

Oh. it looks like Rockstar took down the gtav.com website that pointed to an Amazon page saying gtav would be released on xbox,ps3 and pc.. Now it just points to the gtav page.

GTA Vice City On Android and Iphone

Posted onAuthorTruXter

In celebration of ten years since the release of Grand Theft Auto Vice City, Rockstar games is releasing multiple items for sale in relation to vice city. One of course being the Vice City Game app for Iphone,Ipod,Ipad android devices such as android..
Vice City is the one game that everyone loved to play back in it’s release. In fact, at one time, the gang from MTAVC.COM Modded GTA VC to be a multiplayer video game, when it originally was not. The question I have to ask is, if you take the installer multiplayer modded files, and dragged them into your mobile device, can you get on the multiplayer servers and play MTAVCMobile??

Good question, is ” Will Rockstar games make another funny game like this one? Vice City was the more Humorous of the three games in that set (GTAIII GTAVC and GTASA).
Let’s hope that by the sells numbers from this cell phone app, Rockstar games sees what element in this one, makes it so great

Well none the less. Here’s a quote on Rockstar’s website

To celebrate the 10th anniversary, there will be a series of commemorative assets released, including never-before-seen artwork and a brand new anniversary trailer highlighting some of the most iconic scenes and music from the game. In addition, a limited run of collectable promotional items will be made available for purchase through the Rockstar Warehouse, with select items also available via online giveaways.

In conjunction with the anniversary, we’re pleased to announce that we’ll be releasing an Anniversary Edition of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City for select iOS and Android devices later this fall. This upcoming version will bring the full experience to mobile devices, featuring native high-resolution graphics and several enhancements unique to the iOS and Android platforms. Stay tuned for more details in the weeks ahead including a list of compatible iOS and Android devices.

Also, since Rockstar Games never did a San Andreas Stories, can we go ahead and assume there will me no GTA San Andreas for mobile?
