Star Wars: The Old Republic to Have a Sales Cap

Electronic Arts has decided to put a limit on how many copies of Star Wars: The Old Republic can be initially sold.

Rage to Be Powered by id Tech 5

Rage,
set to release in October, will be the first game powered by the brand
new graphics engine called id Tech 5.  If you’ve seen any of the
trailers you know this game looks spectacular.  The engine has been
designed to run Rage at 60 FPS and optimized to perform well
across all platforms.  The engine is very impressive as id Software’s
goal was to create unique landscapes with amazing textures.  The new MegaTexturing
technology allows for larger textures to be used so that artists don’t
have to rely on tricks to cover up the repetition of using smaller
textures for broad landscapes.  If you haven’t been following Rage, allow me to bring you up to speed.

Deus Ex Earnings: Will Square Enix Make a Comeback?

According to Eurogamer and the Square
Enix earnings reports, Square Enix has had a dreadfully bad year so
far, partly due to the problems with one of their entries in their
trademark “Final Fantasy” franchise, Final Fantasy XIV.

Now, many things could be said about
the “Final Fantasy” franchise at this point, or comments made about
Square Enix’s attempts to enter the MMO market. But what remains at
the end of the day is that Square Enix, even with their AAA titles of
“Kingdom Hearts” and “Final Fantasy,” is doing poorly this year.

Razer Tiamat – Best of Breed?

Last week, I reviewed the Razer Megalodon USB headset. However, Razer’s newest headset, the analog Tiamat 7.1, looks to blow it out of the water. In its press release,
and in the announced information for the Tiamat 7.1, Razer proudly
announces that this headset features a total of 10 drivers for true
surround sound in the headset: subwoofer, front, side, rear – all of
these with 2 drivers at each position. But more exciting than the
drivers is the fact that the Tiamat will allow for customizing each
audio channel to one’s exact liking using the included control unit
(which looks slightly similar in form factor to the control unit of the
Razer Megalodon). This looks to be great for a number of applications
imagine playing a movie in 7.1 surround sound with this headset, or even things as simple as listening to podcasts.
