The Future of EVE Online
I just got the new EVE Online newsletter today and one of the main stories on it was a video that showed the combined vision of both EVE Online and Dust 514. What the video shows is pure video game bliss.
If CCP Games can solidify a game that ties the consoles and the computers in and can deliver a universe that is experienced by all and enjoyed by all then we are in for a treat.
That demo video made me so excited! I have been a long time EVE player and can honestly say that if that is the future of EVE, sign me up for life!
Check out the vid below and leave your comments. Enjoy!

Crytek Embarassing IGN? I think not.
Ok so get this, IGN called Crytek out on the very crappy demo that was distributed over PSN. I've seen it, played it, and sorry Crytek, but graphically, there is much to be desired.
I just read the article from Console Press and they go on to say that Crytek embarrassed IGN. But I feel that Crytek should be embarrassed for releasing such a shoddy demo.
IGN stated:
“The performance of the PS3 version is pretty underwhelming. The framerate is frequently low and choppy. There are jagged lines everywhere, and shadows are especially messy. There’s a muddiness to the graphics that’s hard to stomach in the wake of the PS3′s other flagship showpieces, and worse, the variable framerate really hurts controller response.”
I would have to be in complete agreement with that statement. I wasn't truly impressed with the demo at all. It definitely needed work.
The demo has been pulled from the marketplace and hopefully there will be an updated demo that will address the current issues.
Thoughts?

To Be Or Not To Be A "+" Member
I never really put much thought into Playstation Plus until now. I mean, I have subscribed and used it's features, but to me it doesn't really hold that much value. I would be willing to pay if there was cross/party chat along with a more comprehensive buddy system, allowing a player to ignore specific people and block them. The reason I bring this up is because recently, a friend of mine on PSN, SonsOfMonroe, sent me a message talking about the lack of Cross chat, Cloud, and why we haven't seen those and other features.
He went on to state:
"If Sony gave us Cloud storage in April, then gave us Cross Chat in June for E3, That'd cause massive revenue for Sony Overnight."
Honestly, I would have to agree with that statement. It would be amazing to have cross chat and party chat for members on PSN, regardless of whether you had to pay. It would also be nice to have Cloud storage, but if that were the case, seeing how Sony has captured the universal vibe, I would expect Mobile Me to be right next to cloud for those non PC users like myself. But, in the same breath, one of the most attractive features the Playstation 3 has under its belt is the ability to play online for free. If only plus users were to have cross chat, it would cause a major outcry for support for the rest of the people not paying. Its a huge selling point that cannot be overlooked.
SonsOfMonroe then went on to say that:
"Now that Plus is here watch the new exclusive features start coming slowly. People don't want to pay for good stuff, they think members will just get to try new features first, then every one will get it later. Exclusive features is a reason to buy Playstation Plus."
Again, I agree that it's worth paying for exclusive features, but until Sony can bring everything to the table like Cross chat and the use of Cloud Storage and Mobile Me, then it still does not hold enough value for me, and again I'm still on the fence when it comes to paying for cross chat. If Sony can boast such an amazing online experience now, and offer it all for free, I'm sure cross chat can and should stay as a free feature.
I suppose it comes down to what each individual thinks about Plus, so if you have an opinion, want to rant, or have any other comments, feel free to put them in the comment box or send an email to svrmediachannel@gmail.com
