Paranoid Beyond Reason? Buy this Kinect Security Device

Posted Feb 18, 2012 at 2:50PM EST by Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: kinect, Microsoft, paul harper, pritect

If you’re terrified that your Kinect is beaming your sensitive habits into space, Paul Harper has just the device for you.

Microsoft’s Kinect device is capable of reading human movements, understanding 3D space and a whole host of other cool things (as evidenced by the modding community). It’s also, apparently, quite handy as a clandestine advertising tool.

Dennis Durkin, vice president of Microsoft’s gaming division, noted a couple of years back that the Kinect could potentially be used to gather information for advertisers. For example, the device could read recognizable product logos in your home and use that data to put together a tailored ad package based on your habits.

It’s pretty intrusive stuff, and even if Microsoft hasn’t taken advantage of the technology yet, there’s always the possibility they could. Which is why Paul Harper has invented the Pritect. It’s not particularly advanced—just a black cover you slip over your Kinect when you’re not using it to bust moves. The cover stops the device from pulling data, and protects it from dust buildup.

If you’re the type of person that’s concerned over Microsoft tracking your out-of-game habits, you can pick up a Pritect for $14.99.

Alternatively, you could stop acting crazy.

Game Development for Next-Gen Xbox Officially Begins

Posted Dec 9, 2011 at 4:38PM EST by Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: Crysis, Crytek, ryse

A Crytek employee spills the beans on his LinkedIn page. Oops!

Ah, Reddit. A place for kittens, Anderson Cooper’s disapproval and the occasional tidbit of gaming news. This particular story comes courtesy of wwm0nkey, who discovered an interesting note on a Crytek developer’s LinkedIn page a few hours ago.

Apparently, Crytek has already shifted over to developing games for the next-gen Xbox. Which is good news, considering that if anyone is going to make a next-gen game that can push the limits of the new hardware, it’s going to be the developers of Crysis.

Here’s the quote from the developer’s page:

RYSE (X-Box Next Gen) Pushing boundaries of next generation gaming, RYSE is an original AAA IP from Crytek slated to deliver an Epic first-person melee experience in the Roman Empire.

• Designed, created, implemented and scripted numerous game levels using all facets of Sandbox Editor and CryEngine.

• Lead and mentored Jr. Level Designers and Level Designers as well as collaborated with colleagues across multiple disciplines to ensure winning efforts.

• Championed original Game Design for Tablet title exclusive to Crytek and expanding the franchise to include new genre of video game.

We’ve heard a little bit about RYSE in the past, but it looks like the game has officially been pushed to the next Xbox device. Since games are already in development for the new system (and the new PlayStation as well), it looks like we may be a bit closer to an official announcement than we may have thought.

Alternatively, the whole thing could be a hilarious misunderstanding. What do you think?

Bethesda Offers PC Performance Tips for Rage

Posted Oct 5, 2011 at 11:37AM EST by Listed in: PC Gaming Tags: Bethesda, pc gaming, rage drivers, Steam

The game developer struggles to keep up with an enormous wave of bug reports, graphical errors, performance issues and driver problems.

It wasn’t but a few hours after yesterday’s launch of “Rage” that reports started to trickle in about problems with the PC version of the game. Screen tearing, missing textures and a variety of other problems were reported by users of both Nvidia and AMD graphics cards, and Bethesda worked to remedy the situation by advising people to update their drivers and eventually released an updated set specifically for “Rage.”

While this seems to have solved a large number of the issues being reported, Bethesda is still working with the PC gaming populace and has posted a massive list of troubleshooting techniques for those users still experiencing problems after updating to the new drivers.

The list is pretty in-depth and I imagine will be continually updated as Bethesda targets and resolves issues as they are reported by gamers. It’s unfortunate to see such a well-reviewed game experience this much difficulty at launch, as there’s no telling how many players may have simply given up and moved on to other titles.

Unfortunately for casual PC gamers like myself, the solutions currently offered by Bethesda involve modifying settings that aren’t necessarily represented in the game’s built-in menus.

For example:

“The user can force V-sync on or off in the graphics vendor control panel. Right-click on the desktop to access the graphics vendor control panel.

If V-sync is forced on then RAGE will always V-sync.

If V-sync is forced off then RAGE will auto-detect that V-sync is not working and RAGE will instead synchronize to real-time and screen tearing may occur.

Alternatively you can force V-sync on by adding the following to the RAGE launch options in Steam:

+r_swapInterval 1”

I’m sure that paragraph means something to some PC gamers, but it looks like a bunch of gibberish to me. I guess less tech-savvy players will just need to wait until an official fix is patched into the game, which I’m sure won’t take too long considering the sheer volume of the complaints.

Are you experiencing any issues with “Rage?” How did you fix them?
