When will the statement be?

[Joe Siegler]

George is on his way up to the office now. He was at home.

LoL they assured us for 8 days now that the second they knew something we would, now they know something, and like always, we're being kept in the dark....anyone got a lighter?

I think I'm actually going to miss sitting around bitching about the Prey demo,..in the same way I'm going miss sitting around bitching about the crazy president once he's finally gone

Let him know that in this situation, speeding is OK.

This is where it came from:

"While we don't know the formal size of the demo yet, I inquired and was told it was in the neighbhorhood of 650Mb. Yes, that's larger than the PC side. And before people start freaking out, I did inquire as to why it's larger, and got this explanation from Peter over at Venom..

To minimise seek time on the DVD, data on the 360 is organised into three PAK files for each level which contain all the models, textures and sound data for that level (those loaded at the start and all those which might be needed during the level, as we also have to pre-cache everything on 360 to avoid stalls caused by mid-level loads).

This means three DVD seeks instead of hundreds when loading a level (seeks are expensive time-wise) and was a necessary change to bring the load time down under 45 seconds- it was around 5 minutes a level from DVD before this was done! However it means textures, sounds and models are stored again in the PAKs for any levels they are needed for."

he never said that the announcement was going to be today, just 'very soon'.. remember the 'smells like gold', it took a week for that one...

[ItchBox]

How long does it take to drive 4 miles?

[Joe Siegler]

Actually, George said something was coming. I'm still trying to find out exactly what it is.

Edit: Let's try and keep it a bit more relevant, people. Thanks.
