LONDON & SAN FRANCISCO— 23rd August 2011—SEGA® of Europe Ltd. and SEGA® of America, Inc. today announced that Virtua Fighter™ 5, the latest title in its celebrated fighting franchise, will see a grand update and expansion released as a standalone title for both Xbox LIVE® Arcade for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft.and PlayStation® Network. The new game, entitled Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown, will contain a full overhaul of Virtua Fighter 5’s mechanics, balance and animations, along with new game modes, new dynamic fighting arenas, a massive collection of customisable character items and two all-new characters added to the roster. Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown is expected to be available in Summer 2012.

“Virtua Fighter 5 has always been an authentic arcade fighter, even when played from the comfort of a home console. And, like any proper arcade dynasty, we’ve continued to support, expand and tweak the game in the years since its release,” said Haruki Satomi, Vice President of Digital Business at SEGA of America and SEGA Europe. “With Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown, we get to bring the ultimate expression of competitive one-on-one gaming to console players in one perfect package.”

Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown contains the definitive version of VF5, refined over the years since its original arcade debut. The new release also adds an extensive list of features never before seen on consoles. VF5FS will include:

The Perfect Fighting Experience:
Virtua Fighter 5’s signature style of hand-to-hand combat, with revised mechanics, balance, timing and more, along with simplified controls for new players while retaining the depth that veterans demand

Dynamic and Interactive Arenas:
Fighting areas in new shapes and sizes, including arenas with fences and walls that are different for every round – take unexpected advantage of fighters’ new wall-based moves, or break through the fences with special attacks

Customized Combatants:
Enter the ring with one of 19 playable characters, including fan favorite Taka-Arashi from Virtua Fighter 3 and an all-new character, Jean Kujo, and customize them with unique costume and character items

We've overhauled the core fighting mechanics to make the game more accessible to new players while being careful to retain the trademark depth and balance of the game. Essentially, this consists of two elements. First, changes were made to mechanics which had a steep learning curve and weren't bringing enough depth to the game; control inputs were streamlined and made more consistent across characters, the throw and escape system received the most notable changes. Secondly, we added enhanced visual cues to the game to better communicate what kind of hit was landed.

Moreover, while the base animation system from VF5 was excellent, further improvements have been made to make the fighters move more naturally, react more convincingly to moves, and communicate better to players when a move is blocked.

We've also added two new playable characters. Taka-Arashi, a sumo wrestler from Virtua Fighter 3, is coming back and Jean, a karate expert, has been added to the roster.

For the first time, PlayStation 3 owners will have an online versus mode for the Virtua Fighter series. With little latency, our online mode is already known for being incredibly faithful to the experience a player would have standing right next to their opponent in the arcade and we're glad to bring this mode to all players, regardless of platform.

Finally, we are planning on delivering a large amount of downloadable items that will allow players to fully customize their favorite fighters.

To those who are unaware, VF5FS is the 10th+ update of VF5 alone (not including the previous installment).

Shattered Horizon

Shattered Horizon is the first FPS game from Futuremark Studios. The one who created 3D Benchmarking Tool 3D Mark/Vantage Series. This is their first attempt to bring PC games to another level by using DirectX 10 as it's base. It's an Online-Only Multiplayer FPS game in Zero-Gravity. Although it uses DX10/11 for Windows Vista/7. Gameplay is pretty smooth for most mid-range computers.

40 years in the future, an explosive mining catastrophe causes billions of tons of rock to separate from the Moon and settle into orbit around the Earth. Thousands of scientists, miners, and other astronauts are stranded on the far side of what is called the Arc, an enormous field of debris surrounding the planet. With no chance for rescue or further resupply, war breaks out between the miners responsible for the incident and the scientists whose duty is to bring them to justice.

My PC won't turn on anymore

man3k — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 23:37:14 +0800

Recently, my PC rosak again. This time.. dunno what's the problem. No matter how many times i press on or let it cool off. The thing just wouldn't turn on anymore. Just a week ago, i bring my pc to the PC shop. They said it was Power Supply problem. So i bought a new 550W (Not true power) PSU from them. The PC was fine.. but just for a A WEEK. Now it happened again.

[attachmentid=1115693]
i've already Re-Assembled the parts outside the casing. Here's the result:
- When turned on.. only the CPU Processor Fan is circulating.
- GPU Fan either circulating slower than usual or did not circulate at all.
- Which results to No Cable Signal on the monitor

So which part of my PC is damaged? Is it:
- The Motherboard (One year old)
- The GPU (Oh god, it better not be this one)
- The Power Supply (Just bought a new one last week, seems impossible. All this while, i've been using a 550W PSU to power up my ATI HD4830. Don't tell me now it needs a higher-powered PSU?)

I'm currently posting this using Linux on my PS3.. so Boring right now.. T___T;
