"A big part of the reason for that is that the AI has to understand that a fallen chunk of tree is cover. It has to deal with and exploit an environment that can dramatically change with every gunshot. When they first implemented this, Senior Game Designer Bernd Diemer discovered that he could grab a fallen tree and hold it in front of him to become completely invisible to the AI. This tactic is frowned upon in the real military as unsporting, so it had to be tactfully explained to the AI that a walking tree is deeply suspicious."

Lol!

This game seems so amazing.

No, in Gears the Down arrow was assigned to your handgun and here it assigned to you grenades, thread am Phail!!!!11!!

Jk

To me, it looks like a hybridbetween Tomb Raider and Gears(but neither of these games invented the key elements featured in this game). Oh, he can also beat up people.

I forgot his name, but an analyst or some videogame site said that Sony would release a $399 sku later this year or early next year. Ever since that more rumors started spreading and eventually we got to this point. Also, it's a fact that Sony needs to lower the price of the PS3 to compete with the other consoles. So, this coupled with the rumors gave people hope that it might actually happen.

Anyways, that's what I think.

It was Micheal Patcher I believe. I think they are baseing these predictions on a report that Sony sold some shares to raise money for their electronics division and reports that they are making a deal with a company to produce cheaper PS3s.

I haven't heard about that, interesting.

there were rumors floating around in the press, and the FCC is testing a new PS3 SKU.

But they remain rumors.

"...the FCC is testing a new PS3 SKU."

That's basically why there is such an incresed level of hype, but nothing has been yet confirmed.

Xbox360's don't get the RROD anymore. That's a bad myth!BioShockOwnz

No, that is a myth.

Just curious, is there any proof of this, or is it just more Sony fanboy wishful thinking? AfterShafter

They haven't said anything officialy yet, but there are a lot of hints and rumors.

PSU read it wrong.

According to Gamespot, Sony said 11 mill by the end of the fiscal year, which means Spring of 2008.

the-very-best

When does Spring end in the US?

Since that would be around MGSIV's release, that estimate seems plausible.

The fiscal year ends the the end of march, I think. So, it might be possible if they release the $400 sku.

This is just the a conference, I'm guessing tomorrow they will start showing off games.

But still, I'm a bit disappointed that they didn't announce the $400 sku. I hope they do it later.
