That is probably attributable to Kojima Productions allowing Platinum to handle the things that they know best after realizing that action wasn’t their strong suit. Thankfully these two teams have made a game that not only is completely fresh, but also satisfies that craving for more Metal Gear goodness. In a perfect world, this developer mashup should work, but there are a lot of things in games that sound like they should work and fail miserably. Rising is a crazy new take on the Metal Gear franchise. Metal Gear Rising Revengeance is a brand new experience for action fans, this is not something that you’ve seen before. Enter Platinum Games, which means the action is fast and chaotic, but it maintains a nice rhythmic feel, similar to that found in previous games from the developer in this genre. As a result, Rising was quietly cancelled and put on hold. While Kojima Productions introduced the game as such, they had problems making the game they wanted to make. Apparently Metal Gear Rising wasn’t always going to be an action title. Metal Gear Rising is a game that is brilliant at times, and at others, feels like a project that was full of indecision. These bad guys are harvesting children’s brains and training them in virtual reality similar to how his childhood transformation began. His quest is to stop an organization known as “Desperado Enterprises”. Since this Metal Gear game is all about Raiden, the story is one that fits into his timeline, and develops him more fully than we’ve seen in past Metal Gear games. Those familiar with the backstory for Raiden know that he is a cyborg who was trained in virtual reality, but also has a bloody past as a child soldier better known as “Jack the Ripper” in Liberia. Revengeance is set in the Metal Gear Solid Universe, after the events of Guns of the Patriots. Even as someone who played this game on consoles when it was released, and enjoyed it immensely, it’s hard not to appreciate this version of the game as the definitive release. It’s got full controller support, includes all the previously released downloadable content, and it’s $30. It’s certainly not a direct port from the console version, it looks noticeably better and with action as fast as is found in this game, higher frame rates help smooth out the gameplay experience as well. It’s better looking, with customizable graphics options to leverage the power of modern computers. Good things do come to those who wait, and Steam users just got the best version of the game. While PC players were left out of the party, that’s recently just changed with the release of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance on Steam. Hack-n-slash at its core, with all the craziness of the Metal Gear universe. And why not? PLatinum Games rarely disappoints, and Rising took one of the longest running franchises in gaming and turned it on its ear. Console players on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 gave a heaping helping of praise to the Platinum Games & Kojima Productions collaboration. The 2013 release of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance was a step in a new direction for the Metal Gear franchise.

The processor includes an up to 400 MHz 256-bit core, supporting up to 10.6 GB/s memory bandwidth with DDR2-667 system RAM, up to 224 MB max. The GMA 950 was the second graphics core produced under Intel's Graphics Media Accelerator product name, and was incorporated in the Intel 945G chipsets. In mobile chipsets, up to two 18-bit 25–112 MHz LVDS transmitters are included. The display unit includes a 400 MHz RAMDAC, two 25–200 Mpixel/s serial DVO ports, and two display controllers. The processor uses different separate clock generators for display and render cores. Like previous Intel integrated graphics parts, the GMA 900 has hardware support for MPEG-2motion compensation, color-space conversion and DirectDraw overlay. However, the architecture still lacks support for hardware transform and lighting and the similar vertex shader technologies. At 333 MHz, it has a peak pixel fill-rate of 1332 megapixels per second. It operates at a clock rate ranging from 160 to 333 MHz, depending on the particular chipset. It is a 4 pixel per clock cycle design supporting DirectX 9 pixel shader model 2.0. The 3D architecture of the GMA 900 was a significant upgrade from the previous Extreme 3D graphics processors. The GMA 900 was the first graphics core produced under Intel's Graphics Media Accelerator product name, and was incorporated in the Intel 910G, 915G, and 915Gx chipsets. Graphics cores Intel GPU based Generation three based GMA 900 With the introduction of the Platform Controller Hub, the Graphics Media Accelerator series ceased, and the CPU-based Intel HD and Iris Graphics series was created. Intel used the low-power PowerVR MBX designs in chipsets supporting their XScale platform, and since the sale of XScale in 2006 has licensed the PowerVR SGX and used it in the GMA 500 IGP for use with their Atom platform. While GMA performance has been widely criticized in the past as being too slow for computer games, sometimes being nicknamed Intel GMD (Graphics Media Decelerator) and being essentially referred to as the world's first 'graphics decelerator' since the S3 ViRGE, the latest GMA generation should ease many of those concerns for the casual gamer.ĭespite similarities, Intel's main series of GMA Integrated Graphics Processors (IGPs) is not based on the PowerVR technology Intel licensed from Imagination Technologies. Many of the advantages of the new GMA architecture come from the ability to flexibly switch as needed between executing graphics-related tasks or video-related tasks. The 4th generation of GMA combines fixed function capabilities with a threaded array of programmable executions units, providing advantages to both graphics and video performance. However, with the introduction of Intel's 4th generation of GMA architecture (GMA X3000) in 2006, many of the functions are now built into the hardware, providing an increase in performance. The original architecture of GMA systems supported only a few functions in hardware, and relied on the host CPU to handle at least some of the graphics pipeline, further decreasing performance. Later, Intel integrated the i740 core into the Intel 810 chipset. The GMA line of GPUs replaces the earlier Intel Extreme Graphics, and the Intel740 line, the latter of which was a discrete unit in the form of AGP and PCI cards with technology that evolved from companies Real3D and Lockheed Martin.
Panetta told CBS News, “I think when somebody talks about the particulars of how those operations are conducted, it tells our enemies, essentially, how we operate and what we do to go after them.” I further agree that I will not disclose the contents of such preparation to any person not authorized to have access to SCI until I have received written authorization from the department or agency that last authorized my access to SCI that such disclosure is permitted."īissonnette has been in hot water for the book, which drew a rebuke on Tuesday from Defense Secretary Leon Panetta. The Pentagon policy reads: "I understand and agree that my obligation to submit such preparations for review applies during the course of my access to and thereafter, and I agree to make any required submissions prior to discussing the preparation with, or showing it to, anyone who is not authorized to have access to SCI. The Pentagon’s nondisclosure policy would appear to prohibit anyone, current or retired, from ever disclosing details of top-secret missions. “Prior to my involvement with ‘Medal of Honor Warfighter,’ I had passed notification of my involvement to what was my current employer.” “Since the inception of the project, I have been out of the military therefore I had no direct chain of command to pass anything through,” he wrote in an email. In addition to Bissonnette, Electronic Arts spokesman Jeff Brown confirmed the names of three other former Navy SEALs who assisted: Tyler Grey, Nate Brown and Kevin Vance.

Truth is you can't believe everything you read on the internet. Maybe he works for the company who makes the product and they find it cheaper to troll for bad reviews and post positive ones to counter real negatives because it is easier than fixing the weaknesses in the software. Then again, maybe John Reed isn't sincere. Taking the time to register on a forum just to post about that one specific product. If you mean it might be some kid playing around, Larry's bitterness is the biggest thing that makes me believe the post IS sincere it seems logical to me that he actually searched the internet after he got screwed and is warning everybody about his bad experience.īut, again, you could be correct, he might be acting and he just has way too much time on his hands so he picked a product at random and decided to go posting how terrible it is. If it would perform as advertised it would be a great solution, but it doesn't perform and their support is non-existent.Ĭlick to expand.He had to be a real person bots couldn't have registered on this site. Save your money, your time and your frustration level and just look for another solution. Don't know whether it would have worked for this or not since I can't get it to run at all and can't get their support to give me an answer. I got this so I could import the "entire" machine so that I could continue using VB6 and bring in the components that I use with it - a couple of which are old out of circulation ocx or dll's that don't register when you try to use easy transfer and bring them into Win7. They also don't respond to emails or submitting their web form. If you get their machine you can leave a message and no one calls you back. I call them and the phone system doesn't work, just disconnects after you wait on hold for a couple minutes. I also got this and tried to use it, but it died somewhere in the process of setting up and creating the image and won't run. Personally, I wish I had not used it and had saved nearly £60. As long as you don't expect much from this software or their support, then I suppose you could say the product works. I too have contacted their support again but heard absolutely nothing. That was over a week ago and he has heard nothing further. He hit a problem and did get a quick response where Zinstall booked a live session and took over his machine, they could not help at that time as they said it was a registry issue and they would try to find a work around. A friend of mine has been trying to install Zinstall on his new machine (he told me about Zinstall in the first place) and I wish I had waited until he had tried to install it. Although Zinstall did response to my query, after two requests, their reply was unhelpful and referred me to the manufacturer of the video editing software - which in itself does not have a problem. I ended up using the Easy File Transfer anyway downloaded the XP facility from Microsoft and have reloaded all my files, time consuming but at least it all works and did not cost anything! The Zinstall 'XP vm' obviously does not see the hardware on your computer only the virtual environment created by Zinstall. As the main reason for using this expensive piece of software was to be able to continue to use my video editing software, including all the add ons which are not transferrable in the latest version, it was pretty useless. My video editing programme also did not 'see' the firewire so I could not import any video. If you interrogate System on the Zinstall virtual machine you will see that several of the drives, such as graphics, are marked Zinstall the graphics being shown as' Zinstall graphics adaptor', which are insufficient to run video editing (and probably other graphics hungry software). Although it also does transfer powerful software systems, such as video editing software, it will not run them. Zinstall is fine for migrating the usual information, such as e-mail, documents, pictures etc but you can transfer all that, apart from the programmes, using the Easy Transfer in Windows 7 and download the XP facility from Microsoft.

While Bolton has been the occasional bright spot, there have been very few good things coming from Anthony Hitchens or Ben Niemann.”Īccording to PFF, Bolton is ranked No. The next play, Bolton will get burned on a short out-route that costs the defense 20 yards. Tuttle goes into detail as to how the Chiefs linebackers fail to offer consistent coverage: “One play, Nick Bolton will make an excellent tackle as they stop a ball carrier for a short gain. One of those spots would be the linebacker position group, which Arrowhead Addict’s Grant Tuttle recently described as “ a very inconsistent mess.” If Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Tyreek Hill, Frank Clark and Tyrann Mathieu are all on one team together, there are going to be some weak spots that these superstars cannot cover. Smith is now off to begin a new life in Green Bay, and there are three NFL teams that this move hurt the most: the Kansas City Chiefs, the Los Angeles Rams and the Tennessee Titans. Several teams that were in the running as potential landing spots for Smith have ambled along decently without depth at the position, while others have noticeably suffered on primetime. The Dallas Cowboys may have been set enough at linebacker to release Jaylon Smith, but most NFL teams aren’t so lucky. Which teams had the most to lose from missing out on the deal?
