Eset's creative interpretation of testing
In 2009, Symantec ran a full-page advertisement in PC Magazine explaining to readers that because Norton has the most virus definition updates (222 per day) they also have the best detection score of 97.9% compared to all others. We at AVAST liked the ad for a better reason: we had only 1 update per day and were second best after Norton in detection. Look at the advert snap shot.
However, driven by curiosity I looked up the actual test from AV-Comparatives.org and to my surprise learned that Norton has used a decent dose of creative-results interpretation by ignoring Avira and G-Data, both of which scored even better than Norton in detection!
I thought this level of creativity would be difficult to beat but I was wrong!
Our resellers pointed us to these comparison documents from Eset:
- Eset vs. avast! Pro Antivirus
- Eset vs. avast! Internet Security
- Eset vs. avast! Exchange
Each comparison starts with features overview and, since the features are based on "vendor Marketing Materials available online" and each brand is using different feature names, I might have some sympathy for some of the misinterpretations. But several of them are just screaming inaccuracy:
- Yes, avast! 4 Exchange Server is using heuristic detection…
- Yes, indeed avast! has a sample submission system (avast! CommunityIQ) ….
- Yes, avast! has a fast scan (Intelligent Scan) that increases the speed up to 80% …
Read the website. It's there…
But the real horror was to plow through the listed detection and performance indicators. Reading these, It must be "clear" to anyone that based on the cited tests of AV-Comparatives, AV-Test, and Virus Bulletin that avast! can't measure up. But guess what – it is not the case at all. It is just a highly creative interpretation of facts.
For starters, all tests listed here to prove the superiority of Eset are dated 2008 and 2009. But the actual products compared (avast! Pro Antivirus and avast! Internet Security) were only launched in January 2010. To prove that Eset has better scanning speed, it argues (!) by listing a Windows 2008 Server Edition test from 2008!
Boot-time overhead is argued based on an AV-Comparatives test from October 2008!
And it gets better. When you check the actual tests, you will find a False Positive score of 33 listed for avast! for all tests in 2009. But the real number in the same tests for Eset is not 9 (as listed), but 25. A typo?
And my favorite: the documents argue that Eset has superior heuristics detection as documented in AV-Comparatives test. But it fails to mention the compulsory requirement of AV-Comparatives to notice all who publish the results and explain about the limits of this test. In nutshell, the test does not measure the impact of behavior blockers, which limits the data value. As if this wasn't enough, the cited tests from 2008 and 2009 correctly list the Eset score at 55% but the score for avast! is incorrect. A typo again?
So let's look at the more relevant 2010 tests and see how we do vis-à-vis with Eset. It also needs to be said that the 2010 tests include avast! Free Antivirus and how it compares to all other paid-for products, including Eset Nod32 AntiVirus.

Heuristic Detection:
Since the heuristic test has its specifics as described above, we could look at the Proactive detection tested by Virus Bulletin (heuristic capability of the application = detection of new malware with an outdated virus-definition database).

To avoid any doubts, Eset is an excellent product and has an impressive record of achieving the best scores in various tests and awards. But in my opinion, because of its record and its reputation, it would be better to stop "creative interpretations" and use the facts as they are.
I have a bad moment with ESET.
So I switched to avast and it works better.
I use ESET, and i don't care about this marketing bul****, it's just work good and it's enough for me.
The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help me avast! :)
Thanks for setting the record straight Milos.
No surprise there. ESET has always been kind of shady. I remembered when they launched their firewall in v4 and it was disconnecting people constantly. It took them weeks to admit there was a fault. Not the kind of customer service if you want from your anti-virus provider.
No AV solution is perfect, but Avast does a damn fine job.
I had ESET before and there were some problems with my comp. So I had to reinstall system. Then I switchet to AVAST and everything's ok now and for more than a year. Maybe I could find some threads if I scan my comp with other antivirus utilities, but never the less, my comp works good. Not like it was with ESET.
I love Avast! because of its friendly GUI, and simple+easy to understand
IMHO, that's rubbish.... and a outrageous way to make ESET involved in controversy... You just have to ask any hardware reseller (as I am). He will answer you that 99% of infected PC he has to repair are "protected" by AVAST! At this point, I would say that if you meet problems with ESET, so that's you're a PICNIC (Pain Is in Chair, Not In Computer....) user... Sorry guys !! I've never have had any problem with ESET, but I kind of understand those who need to discredit them, the top is always aimed, that's the game.
Avast is best antivirus i ever see..
thanks for avast team
keep moving ahead.
But that is the point, isn't it? Why fabricate bogus reasons to show benefits of one product to another. ESET is good product and doesn't have to do this.
Are we shooting at Eset to be visible? ;o) I'm really not going to reply to that.
Regarding the 99%. I have my doubts regarding the statistics but would only say that giving the product to so many users for free means they could ignore the warning or simply forget to register the license and are indeed not protected. Many of the users have their computer set up for them. It is fairly easy for Symantec or other paid brands to automatically charge the credit card at each renewal... But of course we don't do that.
Yeah...because everyone is going to believe a "hardware reseller" (you could be an ESET salesman for all we know) and not tests from known, trusted companies.
I'm not that much of an avast! fanboy, but your post is obviously biased...Milos Korenko listed the actual scores and most of them are not what ESET want them to be - period.
Good grief my answer made you react :
@ Milos Korenko :
"Are we shooting at Eset to be visible? ;o) I'm really not going to reply to that."
That's the point. I'm not fond at all of this kind of practice. Polemic over polemics could put you at a disavantage and get you a poor image, even if you could be right in a certain measure... By the way, as I said before that's the game.
@Aethec : thanks for your concern sir, I just give my point of view, and the feedback of my daily adventures... But maybe did you think everyone would rather believe an AVAST blogger ? (you could be one of that kind, too)
I don't think that's a constructive way of debating, especially with a gentleman like me :oD
From av-comparatives, it is ALWAYS obvious that ESET have a better heuristics than avast.But I am still a avast user. Why? Because I like their ideas and they are committed to give a free and good quality product. I have used ESET and I am impressed with it? No I am not impress. It claims it is the lightest antivirus but it is wrong. It used ~50mb of ram on my computer. avast uses only ~20mb of ram.
If you read wilders forum, you will know that ESET USED to be good in version 2. It all started going down hill with version 3. Even when the bugs in version 3 is not resolve, then release version 4 and change the GUI. Read it. http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=290248
But my friend swear by ESET so I don't know. Anyway, it is just marketing trick by ESET. So chill down.
"Regarding the 99%. I have my doubts regarding the statistics but would only say that giving the product to so many users for free means they could ignore the warning or simply forget to register the license and are indeed not protected. Many of the users have their computer set up for them. It is fairly easy for Symantec or other paid brands to automatically charge the credit card at each renewal… But of course we don't do that." Why would users who download a free product need to register in the first place? Why not have a product that is free automatically renew itself? Thus eliminating the need for people to register as well as continue to have ongoing virus protection. By making people register is in a sense a way to say," Hey if you buy our product you never have to worry about registering because you will get a full year of our amazing product. But if you just get our free edition and don't register, you are really getting a time limited version. Heck of a marketing strategy.
;o) Not quite. As always the devil is in the details.
Yes we provide Free Antivirus for home, non-commercial use based on 1 year license registration. Why? For starters, because we believe there needs to be some limitation. The free version is no "limited" or "base" or "crippled". Not at all. The free version has the same scanning engine and the same technology as the paid-for Pro Antivirus. When it gets to viruses, spyware, trojans, rootkits or any malware in general - the Free has the same detection as the paid version.
Once a year, during the re-registration (and you could easily register from the application with few clicks) we offer to the user to prolong the Free licence or to upgrade to the paid-for. We are upfront about it. There are no tricks. The revenue generated from the upgrades gives us sufficient means to pay for the new product development, virus lab, technologies, updates bandwidth, and so on.
Could we do it without the registration? Well there are companies offering Free antivirus who don't use it. But - without naming - in some cases you will get quite inferior product. Or you will get great product but will need to live with two pop-ups each day telling you to upgrade or be forced to re-install new version few times a year with each change of the decimal version number.
And then there is Microsoft and its MSE. But to put it in perspective... the whole AV market is estimated at about $8 billion / year. Majority goes to Symantec and McAfee while the rest goes to number of other brands like us. But Microsoft (look up their annual report) generates over $60 billion revenue and spends $13 billion on marketing and sales. Of course they could afford it ;o)
We provide 120 million users with good protection. To make it possible we do require annual registration. While not having the $60 billion - We strongly believe that the registration is better solution than the alternatives.
I used to like NOD32 back in the 2,5 and 2.7 era. The interface was unique but i liked it. And it was ridiculously fast. However, these days it's not all that good.
We have their stuff on work computers and whenever i download anything for customers i get a massive lag when HTTP scanner is checking the downloads. avast! NEVER does that even though it's also scanning HTTP streams.
I'd like to think that, maybe the marketing strategists from the other companies are way~~ over-budget and should be axed because of three reasons 1.) they overcompensate 2.) they party too much before the horses are in 3.) you're using the wrong Crayola™ imitation formulation(which is harmful to kids)..
Seriously, what llamas-ass did they pull those figures out off?? If not for Norton and McAfee's desperate move to bundle their AV/security software with a bunch of other much needed softwares (hint: Adobe, etc.), they'd be dead. Nobody trusts their AVs to detect, much less remove viruses/malwares, since 2001 (I liked their DOS version though, really retro).
As a consumer and a consultant, we want solid protection (hint: prevention) and performance to go hand in hand.. Sadly those two stated above are really just B.S., Kaspersky does way more than those two, and Avast does far more.. Avast actually prevents Mabezat.B/Sality etc. from executing through superior Heuristic/Behaviour engine.
Oh, if those a~holes from microsoft catches wind, they pull their revenues from monitoring your internet traffic from their recent "security patch" on win 7/Vista/XP. If you have problems with your recently "patched" MOS (their live-call reps, which you're actually paying per call) they generously monitor your behavior and kindly point you (your browser) to the most likely place you might want to be based on your recent internet usage (regardless of your browser/IM/mail program preference) Hence, Bing™ over Google on IE 7 or up.
Happy surfing from microsoft, and microsoft windows defender(which actually does nothing on your system BUT CLOG IT).
You must mean the earlier versions of the Avast engine, if it's a blue icon (it's old), if it's the orange thingy (it really rocks).
And please stop using cracked versions of ESET's NOD32.. Oh, yes, they know. ever checked their engine signature after an update??..
November 2010
ESET 52% vs Avast 29%
ESET 56% vs Avast 43%
Yes. Those are the "heuristic" tests. Please read carefully the NOTIFICATION given by AV Comparatives. The test is limited and doesn't take into account detection by Behavior Blockers - such as used in Avast.
LOL, don't make me laugh, i work in "computer business" for 15 years and i have seen a lot, and believe me i seen a lot of destroyed systems with actually all the major antiviruses, so don't think Eset is better because it simply isn't, actually eset is one of the worst you can get for a paid antivirus.
@Milos: VirusBulletin does not take into account Behavior Blockers too.
What's happening?This is not a real Avast! I know.The real Avast! I know is humble one.:(
I meant that you can show ESET is bashing on other competitors but don't show the result that Avast! got higher detection rate in this article.I hope that you can erase this:

This sounds like Avast! trash back to ESET.I know you want to prove that Avast! had improved a lot nowadays but just keep it inside,no need to show off.
i love avast and its does a good job but kaspersky i was with at the time was slow and keep on crashing my laptop and i had to fix it all the time so i movedd to avast
i love avast and its does a good
I'm an it specialist myself and after convincing my boss, we switched from using several anti virus applications to Avast for all of our +1500 workstations and servers and never had a problem since. we had an outbreak several years ago and used Avast to clean our systems.....
Marko, I agree, the product performance is more important than marketing drivel. But this isn't marketing bs, this is Eset tampering with independent test results in order to make themselves look better than other products, which is misleading to consumers.
This would be like someone taking their SAT exams, then misrepresenting their test results to a college when they applied. And you'd be just about as likely to get away with it as Eset was. -_-
It's a pretty big deal. Misrepresenting facts to the point of not only omitting facts, but also outright changing them! AV software is some of the most intrusive software you can install willingly on your computer. It will scan every single file on your computer. When it comes to a product with that kind of access to my personal information, I want to feel like the company behind that product is worthy of my trust. Misrepresenting facts and just outright lies to their customers doesn't do a lot on Eset's behalf to build that trust that people should expect from their AV vendor.
Riseup :
IMHO, that's rubbish…. and a outrageous way to make ESET involved in controversy… You just have to ask any hardware reseller (as I am). He will answer you that 99% of infected PC he has to repair are "protected" by AVAST! At this point, I would say that if you meet problems with ESET, so that's you're a PICNIC (Pain Is in Chair, Not In Computer….) user… Sorry guys !! I've never have had any problem with ESET, but I kind of understand those who need to discredit them, the top is always aimed, that's the game.
Hardware resellers troubleshoot software issues? O.o
Well, anyway, I came here with a similar attitude when I first saw the post title, "Why sling mud just for the heck of it?" But when I read the article I saw this was simply not the case. Eset started it by making misrepresentations about test results by omitting and altering the facts. Avast! didn't say "Eset sucks" or anything like that, they just stated the the results Eset was using in their marketing material were incorrect. They also went on to post the correct results, which I don't think is going too far either, as another poster suggested, that's part of setting the record straight, providing the honest and unaltered test scores.
This is a pretty big deal because that gives them an unfair advantage over the companies which are posting the honest and unaltered results. This is insulting not only to their competitors, but also to the people who performed these independent tests, I'm sure they didn't put in the long hours of hard work to test all of these products with the intentions that the AV vendors alter the results as they see fit. Even worse, they really called Avast! out by comparing themselves to Avast! specifically, out of all their possible competitors, and Avast! actually comes out on top if they hadn't doctored the results, which really looks bad on Eset. I think Avast! is totally justified in posting this information considering the situation. Avast! isn't dragging Eset into an "outrageous way to make ESET involved in controversy." Eset created the issue when they doctored the results to make themselves look better when directly compared to Avast! I mean, that seems like uncompetitive business practices to me, that's the stuff lawsuits are made of, know what I'm saying? So Eset should thank their lucky star if all that comes of it is they get called on their devious ways on Avast!'s blog. ;)
ESET NOD32 Antivirus has achieved more Virus Bulletin VB100 Awards than any other product. = 65 VB's
Hey Milos Korenko, I also no like this Marketing but i see some envy here... !
@Kenji Yamato
You do? Then I really don't know what you're looking at...
Regarding past VB results... does anybody really care how a particular product performed 10 years ago? Or rather - does anybody really think it has any relevance whatsoever for today's performance?
You're a fanboy does not understand about doing quality work and keep that job, because your Avast never did a good job today and not even 10 years ago.
Dear Kenji, I know the weak points of avast! pretty well, certainly better than you (being one of the developers).
What I was trying to say, and what you seem to have failed to understand, is that the world of malware, and hence the world of AV solutions that have to follow the trends, is very dynamic, it changes rapidly. Being a great product years ago doesn't imply being a great product now. Judging the performance according to 10 years old results is like... going to buy a car and base the decision on how the models did 100 years ago. You're free to do so, of course, but you shouldn't be surprised if you get a weak product.
Like Milos, I'm not trying to compare the quality of NOD and avast! in any way - I'm speaking completely generally. Yes, NOD is a good product and I'm not saying the opposite. But there's certainly no envy about past VB100 numbers - nobody really cares about them here.
I laugh on eset they are more creative,thanks man and keep up good work.
Today Eset reponse:
First, we'd like to acknowledge a mistake on the comparative sheets in the false
positive and proactive detection sections. This was an honest mistake and we
appreciate that it was brought to our attention. ESET prides itself on the trust
we've built with our customers and the public and we would never knowingly
publish incorrect or misleading results
Historically, there is no doubt that ESET has a great track record with 66 VB100
awards. In AV Comparative retrospective tests, ESET has a clean record of scoring
the highest (Advanced+) award.
Looking at the data Avast! posted towards the end of their blog, ESET's detection
is higher than Avast!'s in Virus Bulletin tests. In AV Comparative tests of detection
from August 2010, ESET's score is 0.7% lower than Avast!'s, while ESET has 3 false
positives less than Avast!. In the heuristics section, the numbers show ESET's
heuristic detection is better. When we look at the last AV Comparative report
from November 2010, ESET has 56% and Avast! has 43%. When reviewing such
tests, one can look at each category and find better or worse numbers for each
Other vendors make their HIPS functionality modular so it appears to be similar to
a behavior blocker. ESET has chosen a different approach and integrated our HIPS
into the program's heuristics to let it decide the best action. Hence the typical
behavior blocker list of rules is missing.
ESET forever!
basing any comparison on AV comparatives results sux a little bit, e.g. what's the point of comparing scanning speed if the product has low detection rate or high FP ratio?
I much wait CeBit 2011 for see ESET announce version 5 :D
bob3160 :
The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help me avast!
Thanks for setting the record straight Milos.
I agreed with you Bob,
Please gentleman read this article carefully and don't take your emotion over your ratio... there's a facts that we should compare and learn before we judge this article have a mistaken information or not...
be a wise to judge something...

I have used Avast free (versions 4 then 5) for a long time. I surf dangerous places and have yet to be infected with malware. Avast is so light on resources - Windows systems run like scalded cats and are miraculously stable. It coexists extrememly well with Agnitum Outpost Firewall Pro version 7.
Avast version 6 promises to be even better. Change to another AV? Not on your life!
Avast! is the best AV..
They removed the pages?
Did they read this blog?
it work so effectively and i use the free version it also good ..
i am happy to use it..
I wrote a e-mail to Eset to remove the pages. They did so quite quickly.

One of the oldest wrestling video game series (and one in which famed Suda 51 got his start making games) appears to be getting its first installment since 2012, as Spike Chunsoft has launched a teaser site and video titled "Pro Wrestling." Not only that but it appears to be just the fifth game in the long-running series's history to officially be localized in the west, as the "Pro Wrestling" Twitter account name is "3/2 in San Francisco."

Whatever they plan to show on March 2 in San Francisco (cough cough GDC), they likely wouldn't bother doing in the states if they had no plans to release it there. The first games in the series to be localized were Fire Pro Wrestling A localized as Fire Pro Wrestling, and Fire Pro Wrestling 2 for the Game Boy Advance, followed by Fire Pro Wrestling Returns on PlayStation 2. That really bad avatar-based Xbox Live Arcade title was the last we saw of the franchise until now.

Retro Studios has developed some of the greatest games of the past few generations. Both Metroid Prime and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze are some of the best examples of their respective series and fans have been eager to figure out what Nintendo has the Texas-based company working on next. This isn't really a definitive answer, but it is good for a laugh or two.

When asked what game they were making on Twitter, Retro responded with a gif of food and the words, "Something Delicious."

Playdead's up to something. The developer that's renowned for its mastery of moody and artistic puzzle-platformers is probably making another moody and artistic puzzle-platformer. It's hard to say, though. Playdead isn't a studio that likes to say much.

What we have is this single image shared on Twitter:

Bodies hanging from hooks, a sign that reads "Fuck off and die" -- did you think that The Division would go out any less hostile than it came in? Agents have been trying to restore order to Manhattan for the better part of a year, but things haven't really gotten any better.

Last Stand, The Division's swan song, is an add-on that we don't know much about yet. Our collective knowledge mostly comes from this teaser trailer (as much as meat hooks and crass signs can tell us). The objective seems to still be a mystery, though.

That should change tomorrow. Ubisoft's hosting a livestream at 8am Pacific to reveal what exactly Last Stand is all about. And, most likely, we'll get a release date too. We'll have the details for you sometime after the stream ends; until then, just watch this teaser for reassurance that Last Stand will certainly be aggressive.

We don't yet know much about Shiin, but it's coming to PlayStation Vita, and that alone warrants a quick mention. Well that, and the red-eyed rabbit. I hope that isn't just a part of this teaser. There's a creepy vibe to the whole thing, but as for how that directly translates to gameplay, I'm not sure.

While the PlayStation Japan channel posted this video, based on Shiin's website registration, it's believed to be a third-party title from Stranger of Sword City studio Experience Inc.

That might help clue us in to the genre, but then again, this could just as easily be something else.

As promised, Atlus has given us the first glimpse of its new fantasy RPG which is at least for now named Project Re Fantasy. No game play, release date, or platforms were revealed for the first project by the newly formed Studio Zero. This new team's name and the game's tagline, "A Fool's Journey Begins," is derived from tarot cards where zero is the "Fool" arcana. The symbolism continues in their logo which features a boy on a journey to represent beginnings.

As to be expected from a first teaser there is not much to take away from it. It shows some Japanese text of words the narrator is saying, and sometimes blinks shots of some scenery and medieval fantasy stuff. Oh and the number zero to remind you who is making it. Regarding the platform and development time, director Katsura Hashino states "We haven't determined yet what platform our new game will be, and I imagine this project will take a long time until completion. But we'll be working hard at this challenge to truly deliver something new and incredible for all our fans."

People stir about such early looks that tell us very little about a game, but in many cases we get hints that we can infer details from. The best example of this are Rockstar's first trailers for games like Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2. While there is unfortunately not much to go on with Project Re Fantasy's first trailer, one major purpose of showing off a game this early is to help recruit talent to work on the title. Even the official website for the game (which may have the simplest URL ever) has "recruitment" right there on the top bar. Much like what CD Projekt Red did with its trailer for Cyberpunk 2077.

I'm perfectly fine with such teasers. It's not like they won't show gameplay and such things when they are able to, so why not have a little fun? There is a danger of letting your expectations run wild however, as there are people who already assume Cyberpunk 2077 will be the best game of whatever year it comes out, despite the fact that we know next to nothing about it.

That said, let's speculate and make wishlists. What kind of game play would you like to see? Do you think they will venture away from their turn-based combat?

Revealed in an official stream today, Dynasty Warriors 9 (known as Shin Sangoku Musou 8 in Japan) will be coming out sometime in the near future. The game is a dramatic overhaul of the Warriors series in that it introduces a completely open-world China to explore. Along with that, every character from Xtreme Legends 8 will be included (with some new ones, I'm sure).

It seems the ambitions don't end with just "open-world." It looks like Koei Tecmo is looking to recreate the entirety of mainland China and allow players to seamlessly enter and exit villages at their leisure. While a lot of China is mountainous, therefore limiting the battle spaces, the towns are going to receive extra detail to compensate for the lack traversable terrain. The combo system is also looking to get an overhaul, which should please the naysayers of the series.

Remedy has a simple announcement teaser today. The above-embedded video is 20 seconds long, but only 3 of them matter. Remedy has a trailer for a new game, and that trailer is coming soon.

The end of the year isn't usually a hotbed of game reveals apart from one huge exception. Geoff Keighley's Game Awards are on December 1. There's a possibility Remedy's trailer won't be unveiled at The Game Awards, but don't expect that to be the case.

Also, don't expect this new title to be Alan Wake-related. That'll probably just end in heartbreak. Remedy went on-record earlier this year to say that it has two games in development right now -- one a triple-A project with a "new" publisher, and the other an early stages concept -- and that neither of those is Alan Wake.

The smart money's on the triple-A title unless this is all some elaborate misdirection. We'll likely find out on December 1, but maybe not. But soon! Definitely soon.

Many Americans most closely associate the month of November with Thanksgiving -- that holiday where you give thanks. Journey developer thatgamecompany seemingly finds this month an ample opportunity to focus on the "giving" part instead.

This morning, thatgamecompany shared a teaser image for its next project. It's simply a candle using its flame to light another candle. It's captioned "a game about giving."

It's scant to be sure, but most won't necessarily need more right now. With Journey being as revered as it is (it won 6 of the 11 categories at the 2013 GDC Awards), thatgamecompany doesn't need to sell itself. That'll come naturally. In fact, we probably shouldn't expect much of a marketing cycle at all. With games like this, less is usually more.

Last year I mentioned that Summer Lesson, a Project Morpheus tech demo cooked up by Bandai Namco's Tekken team and later expanded to a full game, looked like everything I wanted out of VR. That hasn't changed, as even after a year it's one of a relative minority of VR titles (much less ones with major publisher backing) that really tries to play with presence on the level of human interaction.

And now it looks like it's not just the Japanese-fluent who will be able to hang out with nonexistent schoolgirls, as the game will be getting an English-language localization. The catch is that it'll be available only in Southeast Asia, like Tecmo Koei did with Dead or Alive Xtreme 3. The region might seem like an odd fit to sell a VR-exclusive title to, given that a PSVR costs more than a month's salary for most Southeast Asians, but then again, it's not as if it's hard to import things these days, so any English-speaker with a credit card and bandwidth can grab it when it comes out early 2017.

The announcement trailer, which you can see below, has some new footage, as well as some really rough Japanese-to-English subtitles. As in, rougher-than-Google-Translate-tier. The end of the trailer even teases what look like DLC scenarios that are pretty much just dates, too. Not cool, Japan. She may not exist, but she's still in high school!

Rockstar is on a quest to try to break the internet like Kim Kardashian circa 2014. Its obvious Red Dead tease on Sunday whipped everyone into a frenzy during the early hours of the morning. It was just the company's logo saturated in red.

Looking to keep that momentum, Rockstar tweeted a new image today -- something that's even more indicative of an impending Red Dead reveal. Here it is:

The prolonged development of Beyond Good & Evil 2 is the ride that just won't end. Fans have eagerly, patiently tracked Ubisoft's follow-up for years, and now here we are, back at square one.

In his latest Instagram tease, designer Michel Ancel shared artwork of a familiar rhino character with the following note: "Endangered species - now saved - Game in pre-production - Stay tuned!"

If that's truly the case, I am curious how the project is looking these days compared to what we think (or at least what we once thought) a new Beyond Good & Evil would be like, to say nothing of any afore-rumored release plans. Shame we can't just hibernate until this game is finished.

Nidhogg was a ridiculously awesome little indie brawler. Along with being hyper violent, it also had tight controls and a well-executed concept that remained fun for hours despite a small map count. My friend and I wasted a good few nights trying to best each other.

Anyone looking for more sword dueling won't need to wait much longer. In a surprise update to the official website, Nidhogg II was unveiled to the world. While there aren't many concrete details, some of the screenshots and the small teaser video show off some new mechanics and the totally overhauled aesthetic.

The official website for Scott Cawthon, creator of the Five Nights at Freddy's series, has updated again. This time with a new creepy image and some tantalizing clues about the upcoming Sister Location sequel.

The new background features what seems to be a new animatronic with a clown nose and the tagline "there's a little of me in every body." Interesting that it's "every body" and not "everybody." An intentional clue of some sort?

There will be a new Battlefield game released this year, and Electronic Arts is announcing it tomorrow. With about 24 hours left before the reveal, the Battlefield Twitter account posted a brief video teasing the impending unveiling. Clear your schedule, here are all four seconds that sort of matter:

Tomorrow. #Battlefieldhttps://t.co/gmIv8NxVsA
— Battlefield (@Battlefield) May 5, 2016

Despite being functionally useless, this guy looking up in probable disbelief has some Battlefield fans in a tizzy. The game's subreddit is full of people spouting their theories. The predominant one is a bunch of variations on the idea that the character's clothing style lends itself to a World War II setting. One of my favorites cites that the Hindenburg disaster and the end of World War II in Europe took place on May 6 (although, Wikipedia says the Germans actually surrendered on May 7).

The Battlefield social team is helping fuel the speculation. Those folks are responding to Twitter users somewhat coyly by asking about the likes of Battlefield 1942 and 1943. It's nothing concrete and interaction is a part of their jobs, but there's still a certain amount of implication in those replies. Of course, they could be working a misdirect angle.

None of this really amounts to much, especially because we'll have the full story in a day's time. Whatever the outcome, there's one thing that almost everybody can agree on: Nobody wants Battlefield in space.

I've spent too much time trying to freeze-frame and figure out this teaser for a new Heroes of the Storm character. My first instinct was to go straight to Deathwing (too easy!), but I've seen convincing speculation that it could be Alexstrasza as a support and that would be cool so that's gotta be it. A morphing humanoid character makes sense, but maybe it's something more out of left field.

This teaser video and the series' official site both point to an announcement happening tomorrow at 7:00am Pacific. May 3 and Dawn of War III? Could it be that obvious of a connection?

I know Games Workshop has bombarded us with video game adaptions in recent years, but I'll always have room in my heart for more Dawn of War. Another Space Marine, too.

Friday the 13th: The Game has a new trailer.

The horror game - which secured $700K on Kickstarter last year - is back with a couple of blink-and-you'll-miss-it teasers showcasing what Jason has in store for you. Pro tip: it's not a hug.

There's also this 20-second cheerful romp, too. (It's a tad disgusting and probably not SFW, even if Twitter hasn't pulled it just yet, so viewer discretion advised):

The game cleared its Kickstarter goal of $700,000 with only a few days to spare. While it's yet to reach all the stretch goals, the current total sits at $823K with additional funds courtesy of a slack backer campaign on Backerkit.

Friday the 13th: The Game is scheduled to release in October, naturally, this year.

Ahead of a reveal on Monday, April 25, John Romero and Adrian Carmack of Doom and Quake fame are teasing "a new first-person shooter [that's] being built at Night Work Games Ltd. in Galway, Ireland."

Earlier this year, Romero spoke to Develop about the project, saying, "I've never seen a game like it [...] It's not like you would ever look at it and compare it to any other shooter that's out there."

Your guess is as good as mine! I like the teaser because even if what it's building up to falls below expectations, at least the video itself was inherently entertaining.

Did you see BioWare's Alistair McNally at GDC this year? Did you see his t-shirt? If so, you've just seen the first teaser for BioWare's newest IP.

According to McNally, who is the head of design and art at BioWare, he was able to walk around GDC for an entire day wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the developer's newest IP without anybody noticing:

Also it was fun to walk around GDC2016 in a t-shirt with our new IP on it and no one batted an eyelid.

We don't know if the t-shirt was a name, a logo, or art, but it was something to do with a game we otherwise know virtually nothing about. There's a good chance that this is the same IP a job application at BioWare Austin tipped us off to a few weeks ago, but even that we can't be sure of.

Despite the three months between now and E3, Microsoft wants to talk about E3. More specifically, it wants to tease E3. Via press release, Microsoft says that it will reveal a new Forza title at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in June.

Even though we don't have a game yet, we have a cover car. The Lamborghini Centenario will adorn the mystery Forza's box art; it's the very shiny and expensive-looking vehicle at the bottom of this post. Altimas don't sell video games.

Unless Microsoft is taking the series in a new direction, the smart money would probably be on Forza Horizon 3. It seems like it's trying to establish a pattern of yearly trade-offs between Horizon and Motorsport. Also, and this is maybe reading too far into it, Horizon 2 was the only Forza title to feature a Lamborghini on the cover until now. We'll have to wait until June to see if this theory holds water.

Although, what we already have from what I suppose are the many "unofficial leaks" provide hints aplenty. We already know the art style, likely cover art, and the Achievement list. All we need now is confirmation, and then we can start worrying about the more important details.

Apparently, the Pokémon will have the character ラ ("ra") in its Japanese name, so I scoured through a list and found that there are 115 Pokémon it could be. Yeah, super helpful tease there, Nintendo. Thank you so much.

To help cut things down a bit, here's a list of all the Pokémon with ラ in their Japanese name. Feel free to sing it all, PokeRap style:

Metapod, Rattata, Raticate, Raichu, both Nidoran, Vileplume, Paras, Parasect, Kadabra, Tentacool, Tentacruel, Slowbro, Krabby, Kingler, Cubone, Marowak, Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, Chansey, Tangela, Kangaskhan, Seadra, Scyther, Jynx, Gyarados, Lapras, Aerodactyl, Cyndaquil, Quilava, Lanturn, Umbreon, Murkrow, Gligar, Granbull, Heracross, Sneasel, Kingdra, Hitmontop, Raikou, Larvitar, Pupitar, Tyranitar, Swampert, Mightyena, Silcoon, Ralts, Sableye, Aron, Lairon, Aggron, Electrike, Manectric, Plusle, Trapinch, Vibrava, Flygon, Lileep, Snorunt, Spheal, Sealeo, Gorebyss, Relicanth, Luvdisc, Latias, Latios, Groudon, Jirachi, Luxray, Rampardos, Shellos, Drifblim, Honchkrow, Bronzor, Chatot, Drapion, Lumineon, Weavile, Gliscor, Heatran, Giratina, Darkrai, Stoutland, Zebstrika, Timburr, Scolipede, Basculin, Maractus, Carracosta, Minccino, Cinccino, Solosis, Duosion, Reuniclus, Vanilluxe, Galvantula, Tynamo, Lampent, Chandlure, Heatmore, Hydreigon, Larvesta, Terrakion, Reshiram, Landorus, Frogadier, Spewpa, Flabebe, Floette, Florges, Malamar, Dragalge, Tyrunt, Tyrantrum, and Goomy.

Sweet jesus, that's a lot of Pokémon.

A lot of them are either already in the game, or just wouldn't be a good fit, but there are plenty fan favourites too: Scyther, Kangaskan, Tyranitar, Groudon, all of the Hitmon-family, Swampert, Groudon, and Terrakion in particular all seem like they'd be right at home in Pokkén to me.

More importantly though, Vanilluxe is on that list. If we don't get to play as a Pokémon shaped like a goddamn Mr. Whippy, I'm sure there will be global civil unrest.

We'll find out for sure who it is come January 15.

With his feet in the air and his head on the ground, Nathan Drake is again in a predicament. He'll probably find a way out of it, that coy koi. Still, his world's coming crashing down around him, kind of like Meek Mill's when that other Drake decided to drop a mixtape. [skull emoji] [skull emoji] [keep it 100 emoji]

Bandai Namco has just released a countdown site, teasing the announcement of uh… something.

Right now it's anyone's guess as to what it could be, as "hunger" doesn't give us a lot to go on. Is it Armored Core? Ridge Racer? God Eater? Digimon? Hell, even Pac-Man fits the "hunger" prerequisite. Considering just how many IPs Bandai Namco is currently sitting on, it could be just about anything.

Whatever it is, it better be worth the three whole days of lead-up before we get an official announcement. Any ideas, gang?

Just in case you missed it, System Shock 3 was not-so-subtly teased by OtherSide Entertainment last week. It's unrelated to the work going on at Night Dive Studios, who is currently working on a remake of the first game; OtherSide's entry is a brand new, bona fide sequel to the cult classics.<o:p></o:p>

While the studio is helmed by Tim Stellmach, who designed the first System Shock, OtherSide is still a fairly new and unproven studio making the follow-up to one of the best-received games of all time. That gives people a pretty valid reason to be dubious about the game, if you ask me. That cynicism is even more valid when you remember that we don't have any gameplay, screenshots, or even concept art available at the moment.<o:p></o:p>

What we do have now is a teaser confirming that SHODAN, the megalomaniacal rogue AI of the first two games, is back, and she sounds creepier than ever.

Her announcement was tweeted out alongside the official confirmation that OtherSide is indeed making System Shock 3. Apparently the teaser site that had "SYSTEM SHOCK 3" written in great big letters simply wasn't blatant enough?

It's been a long time coming since the first episode of King's Quest, which turned out better than many expected. Five months is a long time between episodes, especially when competitors like Telltale are generally maintain about a two-month period in between. Of course, The Odd Gentlemen don't have that experience, so perhaps it can be expected.

The second episode, titled Rubble Without a Cause, is set to release later this month. On December 15, players will finally get to continue the story of King Graham. Hopefully the wait for the third episode isn't quite so long, though with the holiday coming up we might have to expect a lull in development.

SCE Santa Monica Studio has contributed to a varied bunch of games, including multiple God of War titles, Hohokum, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, and Journey. What's next? Whatever the hell is happening in this teaser clip.

After claiming the news internally, I got a message from Kyle.

"What are you writing about that shoe, Jordan?"

I don't know, Kyle. I don't know. Do we even know that it is a shoe?

There will be ten "world premieres" during The Game Awards on Thursday, and this project could reasonably be among them. Otherwise, PlayStation Experience is this weekend.

We're getting a firm grasp on Paragon's who, but we're still left in the dark as to its what. Epic has had no problem rolling out teaser trailers for the game's roster, but has neglected to tell us anything of substance about it. All in due time, I suppose.

Sparrow is the third of five characters. She has a fancy bow and a determined look in her eye. Sorry if those scant details aren't good enough; we're dealing with a real lack of facts here.

On November 3, beefcake Twinblast was shown off. Last week, it was the equally beefy Steel (embedded below). I originally wrote Twinblast's name as "Steelblast" and considered leaving it because it seemed like it didn't matter much.

As for the gameplay of Paragon, people are expecting a PC shooter. How these characters correlate with one another is very much still a mystery. The silver lining is that there's a beta (sign up here) soon and that should cause all the confusion to melt away.

To celebrate hitting its Kickstarter success, Gun Media - the team behind upcoming horror Friday the 13th The Game - has released a "RARE glimpse" of the work-in-progress game.

"This is a RARE glimpse into a game development prototype build that we're using to test and prove out gameplay design concept. All of the assets, character models, animations, etc… are temporary assets, put in place so we can test in a reasonable context. The art, sound effects, music and gameplay are not final by any means."

Epic has been working on Fortnite for a while, but that's not the only title the studio has up its sleeve. Today, it announced Paragon along with a teaser video featuring a guy who kind of looks like if DmC's Dante got buff and then also had his arms replaced with sleek red metal prosthetics. That's Twinblast, the first of five characters teased on the Paragon website.

The following character reveals will be trickled out over the next few weeks, with Steel showing up on November 12, Sparrow on November 19, Dekker on November 24, and finally Grux on December 3.

Following along with the character reveals will unlock in-game items for Paragon, which should release for PC in early 2016. That said, nothing else is known about how the game actually plays, so who knows if you want an in-game item? Beta signups are open, so we should probably learn more about what this actually is soon.

You might have heard how the first episode of Tales from the Borderlands is now available for free. If you haven't, well, Telltale really wants to drive that fact home. That's how they get you. The first hit is free. You want more, you gotta pay up. In this case that's not so bad; as far as Telltale games go, this is really, really good.

Those who have been following along with the season have a little nugget of news with this latest trailer. While most of it focuses on Episode One, a short teaser for Episode Five: The Vault of the Traveler is shown toward the end. Unsurprisingly, there's something big in that vault. We only catch a glimpse of it here. The wait to see more is only about two weeks; the finale will start showing up on October 20.

[Update: Looks like we have our answer and it's Far Cry Primal.]

What's Ubisoft working on next? Our only indication is this quick loop of a hieroglyph depicting a man holding a spear and bow. It's likely one of those fancy new-age game reveals. At time of writing, more than 1,500 befuddled folks are concurrently tuned in to watch a stream of an image.

The stream's description only says "Survival is timeless." Assassin's Creed is always going on about ancestors, right? But, it's too early to worry about more Assassin's Creed when the next one is only a month away. There's a fair chance that it's a new property.

Whatever it is, it's big enough that Ubisoft's site directs to it and visitors have to choose to "continue to Ubisoft.com." We'll check back in soon when we see new developments in the campaign or the tease is properly revealed.

In addition to making contestants run through ridiculous obstacle courses, Takeshi Kitano has worked in virtually every facet of the film industry, including a number of roles portraying yakuza in Japanese crime movies -- so the subject matter here is familiar territory for the man.

A new teaser website has dropped tantalising clues about Gears of War creator Cliff Bleszinski's upcoming game.

A new mini-website at Nexon.net, called The Shattering, offers a brief glimpse of a coastal city in ruins, the rubble still aflame, and a countdown clock set to finish sometime on Wednesday.

There are also statements requesting that we "brace [ourselves]" for mini-reveals coming at 12pm Eastern Monday-Wednesday this week.

"Over the next few days, there's going to be a lot of 'information' revealed about The Shattering and we want you to weigh in, react, participate and help us build a community from scratch," writes community manager Rohan Rivas.

That said, Bleszinski denies that The Shattering is the game's title, so exactly what The Shattering is, I don't even know. What do you think it might be?

While Jacob is off having fun and "being a jerk", I'll be right here, waiting for Brock Lesnar to turn up and silently mourning murdered horses.

Visit this webpage (screen capture above). Ok, we're on the same level.

Vanillaware most recently did an HD version of Muramasa for Vita in 2013 and also developed Dragon's Crown, which Atlus published (in Japan and North America), that same year.

So, what is this? Does the bulbous "HD" in the title mean it's an HD remaster, perhaps of PS2 JRPG Odin Sphere, which Atlus also published? And why am I suffering from sudden, inexplicable pain between the ball of my foot and my big toe? Does "Atlus x Vanillaware" imply a more substantive partnership, maybe even a new project, for which Vanillaware seems due?

All of these questions should be answered by next week, from Boston (and livestreamed). Well except the one about my sharp foot pain. It really hurts, guys

Seems slightly strange to have a teaser countdown for a game we already know is coming, but that's exactly what Beamdog seems to be doing with its already announced new Baldur's Gate game.

The website is showing a countdown that is scheduled to end in 10 days. We know the game, previously dubbed Adventure Y, isn't Baldur's Gate 3 and is instead a new game set between Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate 2.

Beamdog has a history with the franchise, being the team behind the Enhanced remakes that have come out in recent years, as well as the Icewind Dale: Enhance Edition.

So there we have it, there's a midqual for Baldur's Gate coming, it's probably going to be shown off in 10 days, try to act surprised. Unless they've been tricking us and then go ahead and announce Baldur's Gate 3, then feel free to actually be surprised.

Either way, more Baldur's Gate is good!

Helping you organise perfect weekend events…
Perfect Weekend is an existing events company that has turned its attention solely to the benevolent sector. Two major obstacles for any event organiser are the cost and the time required – but now there is an answer. Staff have years of experience dealing with venues, and bargain hard on clients' behalf. In fact, many clients are surprised at how cheap an event can be put on for.
Not only will Perfect Weekend take on the entire strain of organisation, but it is a completely free service.
The best thing is - our service is completely free!
Through a combination of encyclopaedic familiarity with UK hotels, negotiating skills, combined spend of three companies and historic knowledge of past events, Perfect Weekend is able to offer better rates than going to a venue directly.
Perfect Weekend's Managing Director Guy Mason said: 'We really feel this is an exciting opportunity to bring new enthusiasm to the benevolent sector. Many organisations such as Round Table would put on more events if they knew how easy they could be done. We really don't charge clients a penny for the service because we take our commission from the venues. We also save any organisers huge amounts of time and effort, leaving them to concentrate on "adopting, adapting and improving". Our years of experience mean we are able to find a venue, negotiate hard, and put a proposal together in a very short space of time." "Round Table is about helping others – and so are we.'
Perfect Weekend is now a sister company of Square Events, the masonic events company, and is ideal for all benevolent organisations.

You are basing your entire argument on guesses. That might allow you to come to comfortable conclusions, but they are not based in reality.
In the time you spent writing that question you could have answered it yourself.
Take it up with NASA and get a medal. Of course, they might tell you that you don't know what you're on about, but then you might just accept that as evidence of just how right you are.
A poor person gets stuck with a public defender, a rich person gets an amazing lawyer. That means an innocent person without money is more likely to go to prison than an innocent rich person. Or do you seriously think OJ would have gotten off if he was poor and Johnnie Cochran and his team were replaced with a court-appointed public defender? Because if you don't think that's the case, you agree with the person you condemned and owe them an apology.
Common sense is frequently not reasonable and rational, just like your meandering post. Hint: When you are condemning something, condemn that one thing - don't start off vaguely criticising it and then wander off and attack the next scary thing that pops in your head. That makes you look unfocused, and your argument pallid.
If you are prosperous, the government won't tax you down to the level of a welfare recipient, and conversely if you are a welfare recipient the government won't subsidise you to the level of a prosperous entrepreneur. Your explanation is so black and white it's lost all value, as reality lies somewhere in between, which your argument ignores entirely.
You should look in to that education thing yourself as you seemed to have skipped quite a bit. On a side-note, if liberalism needs a police state, why does your ideology of choice need lying?
You guys should get some data protection regulation with teeth. You're missing out.
Thanks to the more sane forms of democracy in Europe those countries are very likely to not be taken over by right-wing lunatics. The German ministry of the interior stated that crimes haven't spiked, and that refugees behave (on average) as lawfully as Germans. The claims about Sweden are just that - claims, and not backed up by official statistics. The refugees are a net positive to the economy, as they work and pay taxes. Hell, even if every single refugee in Germany didn't pay taxes, they would still pay for themselves as subsequent generations will pay taxes. So even in the worst case scenario it won't spell the end of Germany, or even put an unworkable amount of pressure on it.
Please stop parroting these debunked claims - it's only making you look scared and uninformed.
You are speaking for yourself. Many people enjoy the technology, and the person driving the car is merely there because it it unavoidable, not because it is a core part of the spectacle. F1 fans are not all Nascar fans.
Seeing as the refugees are on average as law-abiding as Germans, there's no real problem to speak of. Of course if you refuse to look at scale and cherry-pick some events you could spin it any way you wanted, but that's incredibly transparent and only lapped up by those wanting to lap it up.
That's the best you could do?
Because measures like this save money. It costs money to scrape them off the road and treat them. It costs money when traffic is snared up because of a collision. It also costs when public transport is delayed because of someone getting mashed on the road. Sure, it denies the Dutch the chance to gloat at someone being hurt, but it's safer and cheaper for everyone.
EU citizenship is not offered to anyone with no papers. Please stop lying. Your entire argument is based on nonsense.
No, this is just poor journalism. Fake news is where the entire story is nonsense.

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
What is the procedure for paying the fine? Is there a form for waiving a court apppearance and mailing in the fine? If so, the form may say words to the effect of "I don't contest this ticket, agree that I committed the violation and that a finding or judgement of conviction may be entered against me ...".
You might consider not signing the form but just paying the fine.
The point is this: if you are concerned that this ticket might threaten your CDL if it is reported to the state of issue, you might consider paying the fine without admitting that you did anything wrong.
Under what circumstances the State of Louisiana might or might not report a speeding ticket to your state of issue is very difficullt if not impossible to research, so I am suggesting a way to "work around" the problem.

More than four decades after the ex-wife of Righteous Brothers singer Bill Medley was raped and killed, officials announced Monday they used DNA to identify a suspect in the slaying: a man who was killed by police in 1982.
Los Angeles County Sheriff Jim McDonnell said investigators believe Kenneth Eugene Troyer was responsible for the January 1976 slaying of Karen Klaas.
The 32-year-old was attacked Jan. 30, 1976, as she returned to her home in the Hermosa Beach neighborhood, was sexually assaulted and strangled with her pantyhose. She never regained consciousness and died a few days later at the hospital.
Investigators used a controversial DNA testing technique,...

I'm glad to hear everyone is okay. I was thinking about y'all when I
heard the weather reports from the Midwest.
It was in the high 80s - low 90s here. The wind finally died out some so
we had a great weekend weatherwise. I did not make it into the garden
though, had to go to a baby shower for my niece on Saturday and we went
riding Sunday. I thought it would be a nice couple hours amble up
through the canyon to the ridge but the woman we went with had other
ideas, and seven riders ended up bushwhacking our way through some very
overgrown trail (in addition to some other incidents). No one got hurt,
it appears not to be tick season, and neither husband nor I show any
effects from the poison oak we had to force our way through. But I
dunno - the last time we went out with her there were bits of drama too.
I'm not fond of drama when I'm riding.
My peas are definitely over and the lettuce is starting to bolt,
although I might get another week picking that if I'm lucky. Tomatoes,
peppers, and zucchini look good; in fact we may be able to start picking
zucchini in another week. "Oh good" husband says unconvincingly, but I'm
looking forward to it.
I did some cleanup in the front garden last weekend and it went pretty
well. Everytime I get to work on it I think cleanup won't be as bad as
it looks, I just need TIME. I haven't done much in the evenings like I
thought I would, I gotta fight this tendency to come home and collapse
on the couch.

Any suggestions on learning the role plays please!!!
I learned them off word perfect by reading them over and over and then writing it out until i made no mistakes! It is time consuming but if you have them word perfect they are guaranteed marks. It also helps to print off the sheet in english from examinations.ie. its the one youll have in the exam and just to practice saying them while looking at the english
Ellie Worcester
are you given the german card as well as the english one for the role plays ?

Despite recent press reports, Boeing says "virtually no customers" are clamoring for a re-engined 737 model. "At some point in time, there will be a moment for a new airplane, a new production program, and we're working very hard to figure out when that might be," said Nicole Piasecki, vice president of Business Development and Strategic Integration at Boeing Commercial Airplanes, during an aviation conference on Wednesday. Meanwhile, a top Airbus executive said his company still intends to make a decision on re-engining by the end of the year. "We've gone through the business case. The issue right now is resources," he noted.
