Crytek suffer HUGE leak PLAYABLE Crysis II beta released
Khundes:
Hurray for Canada only imposing bilingual instruction booklets in comparison!
Though I personally think this leak is awful, and you can be sure that if Crysis 2 doesn't do so hot, especially the PC version, it'll become another thing on the pile of reasons not to develop for PC. It might even affect the possibility of Crysis 3 or even some jobs at Crytek(The leaker's already screwed and I don't feel sorry for him though.)
I strongly urge fans of the game, or people who would want to play it, to buy themselves a copy and do us all a favor in the long run. I myself still need to get Crysis 1, I only recently got a true gaming-capable PC and I lack the time to truly use it these days. But if I like it, I'll buy Crysis 2 for sure.

Not yet. Governator is working on it and other states are waiting for him to win.

The likelihood of California winning is slim to none. That case is about to be heard by the Supreme Court, a decidedly more conservative(in terms of adhering to precedent) panel than the lesser courts. With about 10 instances of similar bills being declared unconstitutional by the District Courts and not appealed, the censorship lobbyists seem to have walked into a bear trap. They'll probably escape with a rejection based on some ancillary aspect of the bill since the Court will likely avoid any decision which would call into question established federal censorship.

IMO computer gaming is going to recede then explode in the future. (1-3 years).
Steam has a lot of momentum going for them. The issue with computer gaming is the cost requirement and fashionability. With people running around wanting laptops and stuff, looks are huge, space is huge etc. Performance quality sits backseat. Yes, there's computer gamers, but morons en masse are more profitable.
"I THINK THE IPHONE HAS ON PAR GRAPHICS WITH THE PSP!"
Casual gamers are a slight "issue". Hook them with casual gaming first, then lead them to hardcore gaming.

Valve isn't going to allow pornographic games anytime soon, but games like the witcher and amnesia, which would get AO ratings from the ESRB, can forgo the rating process and still enjoy widespread distribution through Steam.

No government censorship, yet even the games like you mentioned (The Witcher) get a censored version in US. Probably done by the companies themselves because they knew that fundamentalist USA would get hysterical over a few pictures of tits. Running with Scissors are still harassed by the supreme court over making Postal games. True, USA doesn't have a government censorship, because there are many other ways to make life to a living hell in US if you make a game that Christians don't like.
Indeed if you want to make a game without any pressure, do it in Eastern block countries or Russia. The government there couldn't care less about video games, they are too busy stealing tax payer's money.

As long as it doesn't get released on a console, it doesn't seem like the Christians are smart enough to realize that it's still a game.
