Okay, Titanfall looks really good.

But, was that Troy Baker doing the voicework? He's like the new Nolan North.

Wow, $499?

There is absolutely no way Dead Rising 3 is a full exclusive, especially not this generation. It is definitely timed.

That said, this might be the first dead rising I want to play all the way through after DR1 burned me bad.

You know, I just realized, all these games should be using a 64bit processor by default. PC gamers are going to have to switch.

Despite the name, the AI based on your driving style is a pretty nice feature to help mix things up.

It was the Rare game. Came packaged with the studio.

Sunset seems to be a semi-open world zombie game with orange juice powered zombies and weaponry, with a dash of parkour.

Yep, Killer Instinct.

Ah, so looks like they Insomniac just pooped out Fuse to die so they could focus on this exclusive.

Eh to be honest, GoW has been played out entirely. I'd take this over a new GoW any day, beach landings and all.

What I'm surprised with is that there's no indication of Kinect 2 controls.

Anyone else really love the much improved facial animation tech they're showing in all these games? I mean, the artists, animators, and technical directors must all be giddy to be able to have decent looking faces.

Also, Rome: D-Day.

Also, anyone else think Kiefer makes for a good Snake?

Czech or Russia. That's where the studio is. The owner of that company is filthy rich now.

Also, I'm pretty sure that WoT will make it to the PS4, if not at launch then within the year.

and they just announced pay to win is going bye bye.

What's this? They rebalancing the game finally?

Nice, about time World of Tanks made it to consoles, it's perfect for a console title.

A good way to start a show where people are concerned about the games.

But, it's a multi-platform title.

So, are you guys prepared for tomorrow?

Yep, those orange dots are registration marks.

Wait, this releases on June 14th, a Friday, instead of the usual Tuesday? I guess they wanted to avoid it getting lost at E3, or their developers being away to support it.

Only thing I'm interested in so far is Planetside 2 for PS4, I can finally get a group together to play it.

Funny rumors have said League of Legends is coming to consoles, but unless the game changes significantly, it's not going to happen. That game is too mouse driven and it's as twitchy as you can make an RTS-style controlled game.

I'm fine with, neigh, glad to see free to play games come to consoles. The good F2P games will set the bar for future non-F2P games that try to sneak their crap onto the system, and the more games the merrier.

Yep, lot's exclusives, and gameplay for the exclusives that have already been announced. I want a full gameplay demo of Infamous:SS at the very least. We already got a demo of Killzone:SF. They would kill the crowd if they showed off whatever PS4 game Naughty Dog was working on. Likewise, there's quite a few Sony studios that we haven't seen anything from in a long time.

Sony should take a moment to mention certain games by name that are multiplatform, but forbidden to show it on their system due to deals by MS. MS has been paying some 3rd parties specifically to not show anything off or even mention they're on the PS4.

We do know that MS will have a lot of games, that said, likely at least half will be kinect2 titles, so Sony will really have to show off core games.

I don't think the DRM situation is going to go our way, despite Sony seeing the controversy with MS right now. There's just too much pressure from publishers and retailers.

You can't resell PC games (usually) especially those on steam. Why is this a must have for consoles?

Just asking.  I used to keep all my games. Now I sell 90% of them. That said, I don't buy that many so it's not that big of a deal for me.

Because it's a console. One of the major reasons why consoles got so popular, and why people buy them was that, you have the disc, you play the game. That was it.

I can understand the argument about PCs and Steam and such. However, those arguments also miss the entire point of why Consoles aren't PCs, and that's so for a very good reason.

I don't think we'll see a jump to $70 games. Inflation hasn't gotten high enough to justify it yet in the States.

So what happens when these servers inevitably crash on Halo 5, CoD bajillion, etc's release day? Eh, it's probably not a lot of data going back and forth, raw data too, not complex images. Really will be interesting to see how much of the cloud stuff works, or whether it's another Kinect 1.

But, I'm in for the game. I loved Giants: Citizen Kabuto's multiplayer mode, it was hilarious. Having another game with a big stompy robot and little peons shooting around its feet should be fun.

Nah, MS is getting their due mainly because they're acting just like the Sony did for the PS3's launch. Rushed, unsure of what's what, executives running around like chickens with heads cut off, and those cut off heads randomly babbling contrary bits of information, and with a troublesome hardware spec. Everyone gave Sony and their fans crap for it, and it was justified then.

And don't even try to play the maturity card, because where was that maturity 5 years ago?

So, just take it, and like it, like you will like the awesome games that will come out for both systems.

[Spoiler]

Question for season 4.  Spoilers.

Spoiler for Hiden:

So Michelle Fairley is apparently done with the show.  Are they not going to have Lady Stoneheart on the HBO show?  Or will it be another actress in heavy makeup?

Spoiler for Hiden:

She's not done with GoT. She's just being coy with her answers in interviews. Try reading those answers again. She's being intentionally vague. "I knew how many years I signed up for" is used as an answer about leaving the show this early for example, but she doesn't mention a specific number.

My guess is that she'll be a guest star in GoT from now on instead of a part of the regular cast.

Also, expect Lady Stoneheart to open her eyes in the final scene of episode 10. There's no way that guess is wrong.

Also (book and season 4+ spoilers):

Spoiler for Hiden:

She really, really, really, really can't say anything that indicates she might be back for the next season, other than those vague coy answers. When your character dies horrifically in the finale, it's generally assumed you're gone. Any more obvious hinting would ruin the impact of her return for those who haven't read the books, and that's why we're talking in spoiler tags.

And I know that actress is going to handle being an crazy undead revenent really well, I'm looking forward to her performances in the future.

Fixed?

Basically, solid info about hardware issues in that thread making me even less likely to get the One at launch.

Considering all the issues there were with the 360, and MS's willingness to gamble stability for market share, I think I'll hold off on a ONE at launch and put the money I've been saving ($600 so far!) towards more PS4 games.

Thankfully, I have trustworthy housemates that also want in on the action are pitching in a bit for more games and peripherals, while I own the system.

Was really looking forward to a new Halo and Viva Pinata though. Finally played through my giant backlog of 360 games last year on my housemate's 360 (which then red ringed out of warranty).

What the hell was that? Autocorrect gone haywire? Salmon?

Enslaved also had a similar problem with platforming being too obvious about the path, as do many games. I wonder if a shift in design could make these segments based more on using skill to navigate these paths, and less just following the path, or at least have a lot more paths.

Something like Mirror's Edge, although not the best example since it had a lot of linear paths. However its platforming also required a good amount of execution to get right.

Wow, a full ~15 hours, that's not common these days. That's a lot of story to tell.

Well, I do see developers/publishers signing up for limited exclusivity periods of 6 months to a year, in fact, even more so that last generation. This is because the cost to develop games are expected to have a jump with this new console generation.

However, I do think that the jump won't be as high as the previous PS3/PS3 Xbox/360 jump since these consoles are both the same hardware, and are basically equivalent to a mid-high level PC.

The only way I can see full exclusivity is if they started funding a game early enough, similar to a second party deal, but with less overhead. Basically a lot more money early on, no strings other than exclusivity and right of first refusal.

That rumor has been around since the PS4's announcement and the first showing of Deep Down.

While I'm not sure about full exclusivity, I can see that it will be exclusive for 6 months to a year.

Competition for games is going to be fierce this year, and the big 2 will be dumping buckets of money to secure some kind of exclusivity for 3rd party games.

Will need a screenshot to really decide.

I wonder how Skulls of the Shogun is selling, and if they're regretting the Windows 8 exclusivity.

You know, I wonder just how they get the deals to put these games on PS+?

Sure, most of them are old and sell on sale for tiny amounts by now, but they're not that old. I guess rather than a burst of cheap sales income, they get constant income from the PS+ subs.

That is assuming people can find it on the 360s dashboard.

I think those people will need to see the next episode to truly make up their minds.

Writing a scenario that uses the Beginner Game characters in a different way, which way people who have the beginner's game and already read it can play with surprises.

There's ways to improve it without resorting to arbitrarily locked animation systems. There's plenty of ways now to combine need for execution, without the clunky locked systems that those games employ.

Well finally.

They're going to have to do a lot to convince me to buy it though. I appreciated most of what they were doing in DA2, but there's just some other major stuff that I find hard to forgive.

Yeah, talk about out of nowhere. It was a police chase that stemmed from some gang activity.

Figured that both MS and Sony would add something to spent your achievement/trophy points on. For MS, it will probably be related to the avatars if they still have them, or other stuff.

You know a game is in trouble if Rebellion won't take it. Rebellion's quality is iffy, but they can get anything done on a budget and be half playable.

If this is true, it's understandable that they're not happy about being forced to work on it when they should really be working on Dishonored 2. Not to mention they have to live up to bloated expectations that the CG trailer gave them.
