Resistance Collection PS3 Arrives December 5th

Posted in: Today's Chili

Are you starting to count down the days to this coming holiday season? If you have answered in the affirmative, then you might be interested to hear that Resistance Collection will be arriving at retail store shelves from December 5th onward for $39.99 a pop, making it an ideal gift for any first person shooter fan who has, for one reason or another, yet to experience one of the best FPS trilogies on the PS3 platform.

You can indulge in Resistance: Fall of Man’s 40-player multiplayer, to Resistance 2’s 8-player online co-op, to Resistance 3’s heroic survival of Joseph Capelli in a brutal world, in this value for money pack, and you can be sure that you need no other game if you are going to remain cooped up all day long at home sitting in front of your PS3. We do wonder whether your PS3 is going to have enough of Resistance, spewing out a message that asks you to take a break – probably not, except in the fictional universe where you still live in with your mom. This Resistance Collection pack will also include the following DLCs: Resistance 2 Aftermath Multiplayer Map Pack, Resistance 2 Skin Bundle, Resistance 2 Wraith Skin multiplayer weapon, Resistance 3 Brutality Pack, and the Resistance 3 Survival Pack.

Resistance Collection arrives on the PS3 in winter

Posted in: Today's Chili

Brace yourselves, winter is coming, and so is the Resistance Collection on the Sony PS3. I guess you can say that Sony has a soft spot for folks who did miss out on their earlier hit titles, and will cater for late adopters of the PS3. After all, some of the past classics which include the God of War Saga and the Ratchet & Clank Collection have been made available in a value-for-money bundle, and today the Resistance Collection’s announcement will definitely open up the floodgates for folks who have yet to discover the wonders of Resistance for themselves. .

The Resistance Collection will comprise of three games – all of them critically acclaimed, and they are Resistance: Fall of Man, Resistance 2, and Resistance 3. Not only that, the good news does not end there as you will end up with additional bonus DLC content for Resistance 2 and Resistance 3, letting you enjoy the best DLC from both titles, including the Aftermath Pack and skin bundle from Resistance 2, and both the Brutality and Survival Packs from Resistance 3. We are talking about a $39.99 sticker price tag here which will give you more hours of entertainment compared to watching four movies at the local theater.

Researchers store memory bit on a lone molecule, could pave the way for petabyte SSDs

Posted in: Today's Chili

Researchers store memory bit on a molecule, get 50,000 times denser storage than hard disk The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) just deflated the size of a bit down to a solitary nanometer — the length of an organic molecule. The international research team managed it by first embedding a magnetized iron atom into a molecule made up of 51 atoms, then taking advantage of so-called memristive and spintronic properties. By applying a current, they flipped the atom’s magnetic charge, altering the resistance of the molecule as well — which they subsequently measured, storing a bit. Compared to a typical magnetic drive which needs 3 million atoms per bit, a device made this way could theoretically store 50 thousand times as much data in the same size — and would be an all-electric device, to boot. If the research ever pans out, a terabyte magnetic drive could turn into a 50 petabyte solid state unit — hopefully ready in time for all those 4K home movies you’ll need to store one day soon.

Sony has no definitive plans for Resistance series, says report

Posted in: Today's Chili

If you love playing Resistance, the popular first-person shooter/ third-person shooter video game series developed by Insomniac Games and published by Sony, you’ll probably be disappointed (hopefully not) to hear that Sony has no definitive plans for Resistance. In an interview with the Official PlayStation Magazine in U.K., Sony Computer Entertainment Europe Online producer Daniel Brooke reportedly said “The Resistance franchise has been exciting to work on. But as for the future, we have no definitive plans.”

So far, there have been five Resistance games – three on PlayStation 3, one on PlayStation Portable, and one on PlayStation Vita. The latest is Resistance: Burning Skies, a spin-off of the series that was launched in May this year and is developed specifically for the PlayStation Vita. With the game’s developers, Insomniac Games, out of the picture following its decision to stop working on it, and Sony saying that it has no definitive plans, the future of the game is bleak. We can’t really say that the series is over. We can only speculate based on Daniel Brooke’s words. The word definitive means final. So, the series could go on, but apparently Sony does not have a final plan yet.
