The Vita Resistance is by a different developer, so no reason it would be canceled.

What bothers me is that Resistance 3 did not at all resolve the story. Are we seriously left hanging with the Chimera essentially ruling the world?

From a gamer's perspective, current gen games may be "powerful enough" but if you were to talk to developers you'd get a very different answer.

During the making of any game, an artist or designer always wants to do something, but then limitations of hardware constantly stop them from doing what they want. It's not just about texture resolution.

For instance, say a level designer has the idea for an epic battle against thirty enemies, with a waterfall in the middle of the area that affects the gameplay by making the ground slippery and/or washing enemies over a cliff, and gorgeous beams of sunlight coming down from the sky. They try to get it to run and the hardware crashes.

Now they have a choice: cut out some enemies, cut out the waterfall, or cut out the sunbeams (or cut out a thousand other details that make the scene not look like crap). They'll obviously cut out the sunbeams, but then realize it still runs at a bad framerate. They realize that their epic battle just isn't possible due to hardware limitations.

I haven't finished RE 5 yet, but I got more than halfway through it (probably real close to the end) on Hard mode, and it's pretty tough. There are the typical difficulty spikes where I died repeatedly, and there was one section where I truly thought I would never, ever beat it, but then I just got lucky.

So if you're worried about difficulty spikes, I would avoid playing on Hard. Most of the game is fine, but those spikes are nasty.

And that was also one of my articles. It was in fact Gears of War 2 that was my first game I played on Hard mode on the initial playthrough.

I signed near the bottom-right corner I believe.

I noticed he shoots everyone in the legs. Is that what I was doing wrong? Going for the head?

Have you played both games?

Checkpoints and difficulty are only a problem in context. Dark souls has fun, non-broken gameplay, making its difficulty rewarding and the checkpoints like treasures.

When the core gameplay is horrible, difficulty and checkpoints compound the problem.

I can answer the millenium falcon one. Han Solo even explains it in Episode IV - before you jump to light speed, the computer makes calculations and finds a clear path for you, which won't necessarily be a straight line, but avoids objects.

For instance, when Han says he made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs or whatever, you'll notice that parsecs are a distance, not a time. So what makes the millenium falcon so "fast" is its amazing navigation computer - it can calculate the shortest path better than other ships, thus outrunning them.

Not really related to videogames, so figured I'd answer here.

This reviewer clearly can't handle difficult games.

If your PC can barely run Portal then no, it probably can't handle TOR. Look for a free trial first so you can test it out.
