Massive – DirectX10 Effects Possible On Consoles
3:00AM Mike Fahey | If you’ve got the time and the resources, your console game can look pretty damn close to its DirectX10-enabled PC counterpart. This from Massive Entertainment’s VP of Development Peter Sydow in an interview with Videogamers.com in which he discusses development of the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of World In Conflict. Yeah, at this point we’ve managed to replicate some of the effects, but I don’t know what features will make it into the final release. Nearly all of our DX10 features are possible to do on the consoles if you give it enough time and resources, so we’ll keep on working on them and see what happens. See Funcom? Even the console developers can do it! World in Conflict Interview [Videogamers.com - Thanks David!] More »World in Conflict 360/PS3 Impressions

12:20AM Luke Plunkett | World in Conflict is coming to the 360 and PS3. We already knew that. What we didn’t know about this console-specific game is that it’ll be called World in Conflict: Soviet Assault, and will take the PC game, give it console-specific controls and give you the chance to also command the invading Soviet forces. Yes, yes, In Soviet Russia, invaders command you, etc, etc. PC owners, for you, nothing else has changed: you’ll get all the new content as an expansion pack, same time as the console versions arrive (which is “Fall”).

Is Vista Service Pack 1 Any Good For Games?
2:30PM Logan Booker | Bit-tech went and asked itself this very question, considering no amount of tarot card reading, crystal ball gazing or deciphering of entrails would provide a reliable answer.
To this end, the hardware review site not only reviewed Vista SP1, but vanilla Vista with hotfixes installed. This way, it could see whether SP1 was just a massive bunch of previously-released hotfixes, or if Microsoft had included some independent performance tweaks. More »
