Battlefield 2142, ahora dicen que no tiene SpyWare

Ahora dicen que no, pero lo cierto es que quedaban bastante oscuras las intenciones de esta gente, como ya comentamos aqui.
El caso es que ahra dicen que la publicidad se mandará siempre dependiendo de la region (IP) y nunca haciendo un estudio de las paginas que se visita. Pego lo que comentan textualmente.

The advertising program in Battlefield 2142 does not access any files which are not directly related to the game. It does not capture personal data such as cookies, account login detail, or surfing history. BF 2142 delivers ads by region. The advertising system uses a player's IP address to determine the region of the player, assisting to serve the appropriate ads by region and language. For instance, a player in Paris might be presented with ads in French. The information collected will not be repurposed for other uses. Battlefield 2142 also tracks "impression data" related to in-game advertisements: location of a billboard in the game, brand advertised, duration of advertisement impression, etc. This information is used to help advertisers qualify the reach of a given advertisement.

Tampoco es que me haga demasiada gracia, pero nada que ver con lo que se incluye en el juego como "advertencia".
Aclarado queda, entonces.

Los juegos en PS3 son enormes

Leo en esta noticia que algunos de los títulos para PS3 estan llegando al límite de Blue-Ray (25 GB)... a mi personalmente esto me parece una aberración y pienso que estan dejando de lado la optimización de espacio precisamente por que tienen muchísimo!... no creo que un título (de los actuales) pueda ocupar 25GB habiendole optimizado el espacio.
Es posible que la mayor parte de ese enorme espacio este ocupado por Videos en 1080p y sonido 7.1. como comentan en el artículo, por que lo que es en código y texturas me pareceria de locos ;).
De todas formas, ahi queda la informacion.

Bethesda anuncia "Knights of the Nine" para Oblivion tambien para PC y XBOX360

Parece que finalmente se cumple lo que ya dijeron los chicos de Bethesda cuando anunciaron Knights of the Nine para PS3, pero comentaron que tambien estaría para el resto de plataformas.
Aquí esta la nota de prensa:

New Faction and Quests to be available for Download and at Retail on November 21

October 17, 2006 (Rockville, MD) — Bethesda Softworks® today announced plans to make its new Knights of the Nine™ content for The Elder Scrolls IV®: Oblivion™ available for the Xbox 360™ videogame and entertainment system from Microsoft and Windows via download and a new retail Windows product. Knights of the Nine will be available through Xbox Live® Marketplace for Xbox 360 and www.OblivionDownloads.com on November 21st.

Knights of the Nine will also be available as a Windows boxed product at retail on the 21st. The retail version of Knights of the Nine is a compilation that will include all the other Oblivion downloadable content released to date: Horse Armor, The Orrery, Wizard’s Tower, Vile Lair, Thieves Den, Mehrunes’ Razor, and Spell Tomes. Bethesda Softworks will publish and distribute Knights of the Nine at retail directly in North America and through a co-publisher arrangement with Ubisoft in Europe.

“We’re pleased to bring this new content to Xbox 360 and to Windows gamers who have been so supportive of Oblivion,” said Vlatko Andonov, president of Bethesda Softworks. “To date, the response to our new downloadable content has been terrific – it’s easily the most popular downloadable content on Xbox Live Marketplace for Xbox 360and has been very popular for Windows as well – and we think the opportunity to enjoy an entirely new faction and quests is something our fans will be eager to try.”

Knights of the Nine features an all-new faction and quests for noble characters and answers many of the questions surrounding the Ayleid ruins found throughout Oblivion. Players can join a new faction and found their own order of holy knights – leading them into battle against a sorcerer-king and his demonic minions while exploring massive dungeons and searching for legendary relics – the holy armor and weapons of the Divine Crusader.

Released in March 2006 for the Xbox 360™ videogame and entertainment system from Microsoft and Windows, Oblivion is currently the highest rated game available for the Xbox 360 according to MetaCritic.com and GameRankings.com. The game has won countless awards and accolades to-date including G4’s “Best Game of 2006” and the #1 ranking on PC Gamer’s (UK) list of the top 100 games of all time.

In addition, Bethesda Softworks announced in September that Oblivion will be coming to the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system in North America, and that a version for the PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system is also in development for release next year. The PLAYSTATION®3 system title will contain the Knights of the Nine content.
