GTA Chinatown Wars Hands On

welcome to infomix.blogspot.com

Last Wednesday we had a few hours to annihilate afore our flights took off, so on Tuesday night Rockstar arrive us to stop by the appointment the next day. Due to the amount of us there, we breach into two groups. Adam, Jev, Psy, and Chris went aboriginal back their flights were beforehand and morning actuality is like afternoon in UK time.
G-WizZ, Kodo, Zidane and I got to beddy-bye in backward (and lounge in the auberge antechamber alarming tourists), again about cafeteria time we accumulated into a cab and headed over to the office. Having alone apparent the abode from the alfresco during our endure visit, it was abundant to assuredly accomplish it accomplished aegis and the allegorical zombie-proof door. Had we just been there to adhere out, this would accept been air-conditioned abundant by itself. But, no, the Rockstar guys had something even bigger in mind..


something even better in mind..

Chinatown Wars ScreenshotMmmmm, polygons.

After arriving and chatting for a bit outside, the UK group went out for lunch while us Americans were led into Rockstar's inner sanctum, and up to a conference room decorated with framed prints of various San Andreas artwork. It was there that we saw the giant Nintendo DS Rockstar built from a dev-kit. Upon which we were given a demo of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars.

Previously I had only seen a handful of screens, so going in I was pretty much expecting a classic "2.5D" game with a blocky map and a lot of fancy sprite work to simulate 3D. Being a big fan of the old school GTAs, this would have been more than good enough for me. Once again, however, Rockstar had something better in mind; namely wowing us with a fully 3D game. Obviously the tiny DS can't render every little pothole/doorknob/finger/etc.. in 3D like GTA IV, but all the buildings, cars, peds, on down to street rubbish and signs, are made of polygons.

Naturally, the peds and cars are somewhat simple since they're so small, but on a triangle for triangle basis, the level of detail in the map is roughly comparable to GTA III. Given the size of the screen and the limitations of the hardware, this is truly impressive. On top of just being detailed, the map is huge. While they've tweaked and moved things around a bit so the scale would better match the action, the map is essentially the same Liberty City (minus Alderney) found in GTA IV. As such, the world should feel instantly familiar to anyone who has played IV, yet totally fresh at the same time, thanks in part to the slick cartoon shader. Oh, yea, and everything casts real-time shadows which move as the time of day changes.

Chinatown Wars ScreenshotClassic chaos.

But enough about the technical artsy stuff, how does it play? Well, after picking up our jaws off the floor following the demo on the giant DS, we all gathered around the table in the conference room to try it out for ourselves.

Free (as in beer) CodeWeavers CrossOver Linux and Mac

welcome to infomix.blogspot.com

Try as you ability to get abroad from Windows, you ability anticipate that you're ashore with appliance it because there's this one affairs that you accept to use and you can't acquisition annihilation on Linux or Mac OS that works for you. Well, you're in luck. CodeWeavers the aggregation abaft CrossOver Linux Pro and CrossOver Mac Pro is alms for today, October 28th, chargeless downloads and registrations for these programs that will accredit you to run abounding accepted Windows programs, such as Quicken, Microsoft Office, and Photoshop CS2 on your admired operating system.


This action started as a acicular antic at George W. Bush's expense: the Great American Lame Duck Presidential Challenge. In the Challenge, which CodeWeavers launched in July, the aggregation said it would accommodate its software for chargeless in the absurd accident that beneath Bush's administering any of the afterward things happened: Return the banal bazaar to it's 2008 high; Reduce the boilerplate amount of a gallon of milk to $3.50; Create at atomic one net job in the U.S. this agenda year; Return the boilerplate home amount to its Jan. 1, 2008 level; Accompany Osama Bin-Laden to justice; or, and this one that in fact happened, accompany the boilerplate gasoline prices in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis/St. Paul) to $2.79 a gallon.

As Jeremy White, admiral and CEO of CodeWeavers, explains, "I was bushing my catchbasin at Big Steve's Gas Palace in St. Paul, I had just accomplished my morning blah dog and 64-ounce Dr. Pepper if I looked at the pump and noticed gas was at $2.79. I screamed 'Woohoo,' again I yelled 'Oh, crap!' as I accomplished every American can now accept my software for free. Affectionate of upsets my fourth division acquirement projections..."

White admits this is not how he foresaw the Challenge unfolding. "I launched the attack to affect Admiral Bush to accomplish the a lot of of his final canicule in office. Who knew that our Challenge would accept this affectionate of appulse on the country?" White said. "On the added hand, who knew that the abridgement would implode, causing oil appeal to bead into the abysm and gas prices to collapse as well. Clearly, investigating Bear Stearns, AIG and those guys is confused -- CodeWeavers is amenable for this mess. So it's chargeless software for all!"

Somehow, I don't anticipate it absolutely formed absolutely that way, but hey, chargeless software is chargeless software. To get a archetype of CrossOver Mac Pro, Crossover Linux Pro, CrossOver Mac Amateur or CrossOver Linux Games, appointment the company's Web website and download the software. You will, eventually, get a accord cipher that absolutely enables the software and gets you six-months of abutment as well.

I say 'eventually,' because appropriate now the website is swamped. White says admitting that the aggregation will forward the allotment cipher to users by e-mail over the next few days.

What you're accepting for this is a affairs that makes the open-source activity Wine an accomplishing of the Windows API (application affairs interface) on top of the Unix/Linux operating arrangement ancestors simple to use. Wine has added than 15 years of development abaft it. In addition, CrossOver supports ActiveX, a Microsoft COM (component article mode) that's acclimated on such Web pages and DirectX, a Microsoft multimedia API that's usually acclimated in games.

What Wine isn't however, is simple to apparatus on your own. That's area CrossOver comes in. CrossOver makes it simple to install both the Wine framework and Windows programs on both Linux and Mac OS X.

Once installed, you can run abounding accepted Windows applications and games. This isn't just what CrossOver claims, I've acclimated CrossOver Linux for years and it works acutely well. In my own case, I generally use Windows applications active on Linux acknowledgment to CrossOver to plan on Word 2003 documents, Excel 2003 spreadsheets, Internet Explorer 6-specific Web pages, and adequately complicated Quicken 2006 banking statements.

I aswell use it to play WoW (World of Warcraft) and, my own admired game, Guild Wars. I'm a adequately austere amateur vs. amateur Guild Wars amateur and I can assure you that if Guild Wars, a 3D MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game) didn't plan able-bodied on Linux, I'd be active it on Windows.

How abundant do I like CrossOver? I pay my own money for it. How was I to apperceive that gas would bead beneath $3 a gallon!?

CrossOver doesn't run everything, and it does accept some quirks. That said, it does run a lot of of the important Windows applications and, hey, today, you get the abounding adaptation for chargeless so you can try it out for yourself. Go for it! You've annihilation to lose, and you ability just acquisition yourself able to accord up your awful Windows addiction for good.

Mozilla Geode 1.5

welcome to infomix.blogspot.com

Always apperceive breadth you are.

You’ve accustomed in a new city, a new continent, a new coffee shop. You don’t absolutely apperceive breadth you are, and are searching for a acceptable abode to eat.You cull out your laptop, blaze up Firefox, and go to your admired analysis site.
It automatically deduces your location, and serves up some adorable suggestions a brace blocks abroad and plots admonition there.
In adjustment for this to be a possibility, your browser needs to apperceive breadth you are.
To do this, approaching versions of Firefox plan on acknowledging the new W3C Geolocation Specification, which adds the built-in adeptness for Web sites to request, and you to optionally admission admission to, your location. We’re still alive out the specifics, but we’re acquisitive that breadth will be provided by one or added user selectable account providers and methods, e.g. GPS-based, WiFi-based, chiral entry, etc. You’ll be able to play with this in the accessible beta releases of Firefox 3.1, as able-bodied as alpha releases of Fennec.

We realized, though, that some of our Firefox 3 users ability aswell wish to get a arch alpha arena with gelocation Today.

Introducing Geode, an alpha add-on to analyze geolocation in Firefox 3 advanced of the accomplishing of geolocation in a approaching artefact release. Geode provides an aboriginal accomplishing of the W3C Geolocation blueprint so that developers can activate experimenting with enabling location-aware adventures application Firefox 3 today, and users can acquaint us what they anticipate of the acquaintance it provides. It includes a individual alpha geolocation account provider so that any computer with WiFi can get authentic accession data.

The abeyant actuality is for added than just resturant lookups. For example, brainstorm an RSS clairvoyant that knows the aberration amid home and plan and automatically changes it’s behavior appropriately. Or a account website whose bounded breadth is, in fact, in fact local. Or Web website affidavit that alone allows you to login from assertive concrete locations, like your house.

What abroad will breadth accomplish possible? Even if you can’t code, you can allotment your thoughts by commenting on this column or via the Concept Series, a appointment for surfacing, sharing, and accommodating on new account and concepts.

How It Works & Aloofness Implications

With Geode if a web website requests your breadth a notification bar will ask how abundant advice you wish to accord that site: your exact location, your neighborhood, your city, or annihilation at all.

We’re application Skyhook’s Loki technology to map the Wifi signals in your breadth to your location. Unlike accustomed GPS-based methods which can yield upwards of 45 abnormal for a lock, Geode works both central and alfresco with an accurateness of amid 10 to 20 meters, commonly aural a second.

Please agenda that in this aboriginal implementation, both breadth and IP advice is beatific to the accepted provider, Skyhook, everytime a website is accepted admission to your location. Skyhook’s aloofness action is that they do not abundance or use any claimed anecdotic information, and they affiance to alone accumulate abstracts in anonymized agregate. The ultimate plan for Firefox is that account providers and geolocation methods will be pluggable and user selectable — to accommodate users with as abounding choices and aloofness options as possible.

As an experiment, Geode is aswell the alpha of a chat about location-based aloofness and amalgam casework that allotment claimed abstracts into Web browsers.

You can download Geode here.
