Motherboard: X58 Platinum SLI. BIOS Version: 3.6 (latest version)
2 western digital 160GIG drives. RAID0
1 Radeon 5850
Samsung DVD-RW. SATA
I have 10 gig total. (5x2gig) Patriot Viper Tri Channel PC10666 DDR3 Memory - 1333MHz, CL7
Windows Recognizes 6 gigs only
all the memory slots are in place except DIMM6

Paris, April 17, 2009 - Following the countless messages and questions from fans which followed our announcement on April 1st regarding the launch of Syberia 3, Emmanuel Olivier, President of Microïds, gives more details on that announcement.

"Syberia 3 is not an April Fool's joke. The game is highly expected by the community of fans of adventure games and fans of Kate Walker and it will be launched, it is one of our most strategic projects at Microïds and we have been anticipating it for a long time.

It will be released on PC for sure, however, on PS3, this could actually turn into an April Fool's joke because SONY is the only decision-maker on this point, as strange as it may seem to some people.

Benoît Sokal, the author of Syberia and Syberia 2, has mentioned several times in the press that he would only participate in a sequel to his masterpiece if he had enough financial means to design and develop an exceptional title. Today Microïds is ready to invest in this ambitious production. But everyone knows that to amortize the development costs of a major video game with that level of quality, it is essential to develop it for multiple platforms, PC and consoles.
However Sony Computer Entertainment has already censured Microïds in 2003 by denying that Syberia was released on PS2 in the United States though it had previously been released in Europe on that console. The same refusal happened for a dozen other Microïds titles for the U.S.

Beyond this censorship of the authors and their producers who believe in their creations and who take the financial risks when building up productions for the console without knowing whether they will be approved or denied by SONY in the last minute, the exorbitant royalties demanded by SONY to manufacture the games on its consoles seriously hamper the financing ability of independent producers. Microïds has paid more than 15 million Euros of royalties to SONY for its entire catalog, which represents 55% of the Microïds turnover for this platform. April Fools? Well no! It is unfortunately the "rule of the game" imposed by SONY.

The revenue shortfalls due to the PS2 games we were not able to sell in the United States, a highly significant territory, coupled with the excessive royalties paid to SONY for the European territories, have so far prevented Microïds from having the ability to reinvest in an ambitious sequel to the Syberia series.

So today we launch an SOS to all fans of the Syberia series: let us rally to support the independent creation and convince Sony to change its rules. Send all your messages of support to: supporToSyberia3PS3@microids.com

SYBERIA 3 on PS3, an April Fool's? It's up to SONY!"

[QUOTE="shaza91"]Zomg, that's horrible! But it's fake. No Wai, you could totally hear the dog barking. Nu-uh I hear nothing. The bark was probably just added in. The dog was already dead. It's not even moving. You try to move when falling to your death. I loled. Am I going to hell? It was sick, it was going to die anyway. Its what soldiers have to do. So what? It's a dog. shaza91

you are right. it's just a dog. who cares. please ignore this video.

My post was a mixture of all the past posts in the other topic about the same thing. Just thought I let you get a quick summary of how things were going to turn out in this thread.

maybe I'm taking it too far, but honestly, I just don't understand this and can't get it out of my head. why would they do something like that? let's say it is fake, why would they make such a nasty brutal video killing a puppy?
