Nothing much to say apart from nice views,note the SWAT hanging on the sides of the Police car at the back like the picture above

Not taking anything away from Angie,but did you guys see the tattooed Double Mastectomy girl a few weeks ago in all the papers?

The Huffington Post

Kelly Davidson,34 has survived Cancer 3 times,Hodgkin’s lymphoma at aged 11(My sister has had that),at 28 years old she got Breast Cancer,which lead to the double Mastectomy and at aged 32 she beat Thyroid Cancer

The pictures below are in spoilers,they are not shocking She actually looks great(especially in these circumstances),but they are in the spoilers just incase(Thinking maybe Family or friends of yours have had this done,and you don't need pictures splashed all over the page)

[no games]

Last week it came out that EA currently had 15 Frostbite 3 developed games in production that would not release for the Wii U,they also supposedly ruled out any future DICE and Visceral EA Star Wars games as they will all use the DICE developed engine

We all have our own digs at EA,but their catalogue is still impressive to any Console especially when games sell by the bucket load to those loyal fans,all those sports games year after year,the shooters,the sequels(and now Star Wars games)....whatever you think of them,they sell and as of late the Frostbite engine seems to be a major player for EA games that aren't just named Battlefield


Anyway,Frostbite or not,now it seems EA has no games at all in production for the Wii U,it seems the early Wii U ports like Mass Effect 3,FIFA,Madden or NFS were just completing the contract EA and Nintendo had that started life for the Wii
Kotaku

Less than two years after vowing to deliver on an "unprecedented partnership" with Nintendo, gaming giant EA is quiet on the Wii U front.

"We have no games in development for the Wii U currently," company spokesperson Jeff Brown told Kotaku yesterday. He did not rule out the chances of EA developing for the Wii U again. EA publishes many of gaming's biggest franchises, including Madden, The Sims, and Battlefield.

EA's refusal to put its sports games on Sega's Dreamcast system in 1999 is seen as one of the signs of Sega's decline in as a console maker. The Dreamcast was Sega's last box. On the other hand, EA may not be the kingmaker it once was, and it could be argued that Nintendo's own Wii Sports is the most successful and broadly-appealing sports game of the last generation.

EA isn't alone in not having new games for Wii U. There are no signs of major forthcoming Wii U games from Take Two, with Grand Theft Auto V only promised for PS3 and Xbox 360. The next Call of Duty is also not announced for Wii U (the last one did come out for it). On the other hand, Warner Brothers has the next Batman game and the console-exclusive Scribblenauts Unmasked for Wii U this year. Ubisoft is bringing major Rayman and Assassin's Creed games to Wii U this year along with its ambitious new open-world game Watch Dogs.

So some publishers seem to be leaving,some still around..What should Nintendo do about this?,Should Nintendo do anything about this?...should Nintendo steer their ship away from these big developers/publishers(or at least the big named games)to have their little corner in the market,their uniqueness?



With the Wii the trend seemed to be you bought a Xbox 360 or a PlayStation 3 and coupled whichever one you chose with a Wii and you would be fine..although most here probably bought all three machines but the Gaming Trend Front Page story on the Wii still outselling the Wii U could mean EA aren't the only ones jumping..or perhaps not taking the leap in the first place

the original Wii console will outsell the Wii U by nearly 20,000 units this month alone. That’s right, it’s been six years and the Wii is still jogging strong with a solid 75,000 units sold this month in the US

Perhaps the Wii U touchpad is its own downfall here,EA for one can't just port these games over(oh and yeah they say the Frostbite engine isn't too good on the Wii U as well),they have to come up for some selling point with that pad ..the ideas may be there,but to implement them may be a little too much

Or Perhaps we should look at the Playstation 3,that took some time to take off,and Playstation 2 sales were still very impressive for a long time after Playstation 3 found its feet....is the same thing happening here?

Or in other words,its finished

Naughty Dog has completed development of its next game, The Last of Us.

Naughty Dog co-president Christophe Balestra posted an image on Instagram showing as much earlier today.
Sony has confirmed The Last of Us release date of June 14 worldwide.


A playable The Last of Us demo included with God of War: Ascension will go live on May 31, ahead of The Last of Us release date of June 14.

Naughty Dog's community strategist, Arne Meyer, has previously said the campaign component of The Last of Us is around 12-16 hours in length.

so, not Luke Cage but M-  

Metallicorphan? 

Not a PS4 launch title?  Wow.

are you saying that after seeing the screens or meaning SONY's decision for it to be on PS3?


EDIT:

PS4 under consideration

Speaking to IGN at the recent GT6 reveal event at Silverstone race track, Yamauchi said, "We actually do have a PlayStation 4 version in mind, but for this holiday season, we thought it would be best for users to release on PS3 for now."

Seemingly moving to settle any premature excitement, however, Yamauchi added, "I thought the best scenario would be to have the game come out, then to have new scenarios, new DLC and other updates. Once the players have thoroughly played out the system, if the PlayStation 4 version came out naturally, as part of that process, I think that would be the best scenario."

If such a version were to be released, he added, gamers would "probably" be able to transfer over their saved progress.

I imagine they'll find some new horrible way to make up for dropping the pass though.

My thoughts exactly

CVG have 50 screenshots

[Silverstone itself is one of seven new tracks coming to the game]

Polyphony's Gran Turismo 6 is official, and is heading for Sony's PlayStation 3 later this year.

The announcement comes through the slightly bungled issuing of a press release ahead of a Silverstone event later this afternoon, where series creator Kazunori Yamauchi will officially unveil his latest game.

Silverstone itself is one of seven new tracks coming to the game, and while there's no official confirmation yet of what else will be joining the Northampton circuit there are already several pointers out in the wild. A video from the Detroit Motor Show earlier this year revealed a handful of old favourites will be returning, while Polyphony staff have been spotted scanning Australia's legendary Mount Panorama circuit in Bathurst.

All of Gran Turismo 5's vehicles are returning, and the comprehensive garage is being bolstered by new additions that bring the car count up to 1200. There will be more customisation options available, a feature alluded to in the first leaked screenshot of the game, which showed a Mercedes SLS AMG with several aero updates.

There will also be a renewed focus on downloadable content, with Yamauchi saying the game will be supported long after its release. Will it find its way to the PlayStation 4 too? We're hoping to bring you more details from the event itself later today.

EDIT:

It'll also boast an all-new physics model developed in tandem with automotive manufacturers and an advanced graphics engine that introduces adaptive tesselation.

Gran Turismo 6 will also be introducing new tracks on a monthly basis as Polyphony supports the game beyond its projected release at the end of the year.

Sony has officially announced Gran Turismo 6 for PS3.

According to a leaked press release obtained by iAfrica, the game will be released this holiday season.

CVG understands the leaked press release is not fake, though it does not detail many of the game's features that will be revealed later today at a live event.

EA have opened a new DICE studio in L.A. exclusively for Star Wars Titles


360a.org

EA has announced the opening of a new DICE studio in Los Angeles, earmarked to be a “key cog” in the publisher’s plans for the Star Wars IP.

That’s according to the Wall Street Journal, which also reports that EA hopes to use the location of the studio to poach talent from rivals Activision Blizzard.

“There is an extreme talent pool over that we want a part of. It’s no secret that our main competitor is there,” said DICE general manager Karl-Magnus Troedsson.

Troedsson also told the WSJ that DICE LA hopes to amass 60 staff by the end of the year. Members of Medal of Honor studio Danger Close have already been snapped up, in addition to “outside talent.”

Although DICE L.A. will reportedly be a “key cog” in EA’s plans for the Star Wars license, it’s still being decided whether the new games will feature existing canon or new Star Wars stories.

I thought Episode 7 was like....based after episode 6,this is not a reboot

I could see him playing one of their brats..so who is Harrison Ford gonna play,his Pa?

Oh,god,i hope this doesn't mean Flashback

Damon Lindelof speaks about World War Z,but also adds a paragraph at the end about Star Wars 7
Den of Geek

He also spoke of his potential involvement with Star Wars Episode VII. "When the news broke that Disney was going to do it, people were already tweeting, 'Just keep Damon Lindelof away from it.' when I saw that, I started realising that it would be a lose-lose for me in every way shape, or form".

I love how i can watch E3(and the NextXbox reveal)on my 360

Outlook replaced Hotmail a few months ago and i loved Hotmail nothing wrong with it IMO,i hate Outlook with a passion


Why do Microsoft continue to piss me off??


again today "We can't connect to Outlook at the moment. Please try again later."...annoying as hell,can't look at my emails,can't send any, nothing

they could've at least given us an option to go back to hotmail,my Hotmail account is and has been my main email account for 10 years and never had any problems...all my friends,websites,job applications are connected to my hotmail address and they change everything to outlook

and its just so shit


so,is it just me?

I have started to cross over to my Yahoo account,but don't really want to send out emails everywhere saying i have changed email addresses..i want my hotmail back!!

Wonderland thing i will check out(not expecting much though) but other than the Marvel thing,nothing else really catches my interest

If you want to go WAY back, this is the first album that I ever owned. I must've listened to it 20 times and could recite all the stories verbatim.

Although i don't remember that,for some reason just the title made me think of this

however Mad Men has caught me so i have not played the game or been anywhere near those forums for the past 4-5 days

(just finished season 2,really good)

Just remember:  All Americans are exactly like Don Draper.  While all English are exactly like Lane Pryce.

I'll have to remember that,He makes his first appearance in Season 3

-If you were playing DDDA, did the issue occur with save data imported from DD1?

which makes it sound like they are not so definite anymore.  MO is on those forums, maybe he has seen something different.

hUh?..oh,yeah i am on those forums,however Mad Men has caught me so i have not played the game or been anywhere near those forums for the past 4-5 days

(just finished season 2,really good)


EDIT: reading through this thread that may of been posted it looks,like playing offline is still the answer for now for those worried..again,i am online but not had any problmes but started from scratch on another profile

Posted by Henry

I've been playing with my 360 unplugged and works just fine, I have 3 gametags each with new games uncorrupted that haven't been played plugged. I have one main game and the other two are just for trying out stuff like character creation. If I plug in my internet I soon get a failed save, usually heading for or in the Encampment. I guess after I get the Cassardis Pawn, I haven't tried staying away from the gate and Pawn to see if I get a corrupt just in the village.

Posted by Ken

so this crap just happened to me again..i broke down and decided to give it another shot today..started a new character..put in the original dd and played till i reached the encampment and as soon as i go to make my pawn i noticed "FAILED TO SAVE GAME!!!" played a good three hours..needless to say and not i guess that it matters..im freakin pissed..im so sick to death of this crap..good on you ****..good on you..


one thing i did notice though is once it went to autosave after id been playing a while and it prompted me to choose a save location which i had already done..so yeah i have a corrupt save on my hd and on a flash dive..

I'll stick this here
3:30 trailer for Sleepy Hollow

Strange news of the day,Arnie is in talks to headline a new Toxic Avenger movie
http://www.aintitcool.com/node/62402

But Variety just dropped a bombshell today - Arnold Schwarzenegger is currently in talks to headline the reboot of THE TOXIC AVENGER, with Steve Pink (HOT TUB TIME MACHINE) and Daniel C. Mitchell's script, to be produced by Elysium Films, Akiva Goldsman, Charlie Corwin, Michael Benaroya, and Richard Saperstein.  Arnold won't be playing the famed 98-pound-weakling turned monstrous superhero (although that would be a truly strange and inspired choice) but another lead role in the production.

This looks to be, at the very least, a bigger budgeted film than the original, but that wouldn't be too difficult, considering they weren't made for much.  But if Schwarzenegger isn't Toxie, who is?  And what role will Arnold play?  I'm thinking perhaps the villain, but we won't know that for a while.

really its been 6 weeks since this thread had been posted in?-yes,it took me ages to find it

Sony insider-no delay for Europe and the PS4

Sony Computer Entertainment has determined Europe a high-priority territory in the next gen sales race and will ensure the PS4 launch is not delayed into 2014, CVG has learned.

But an insider involved with PlayStation's business strategy now expects Microsoft will make more aggressive advances into Europe as it fights for market dominance.

The source told CVG that Sony, having learned hard lessons from the 360's first-mover advantage, will renew efforts to maintain its success in the region.

Despite the neck-and-neck global lifetime sales of the PS3 and Xbox 360 (both edging towards 80m units), the geo-breakdown of those numbers shows that Xbox's main business is in the US (40m) and UK (8m); two areas where it has been consistently dominant.

While PlayStation is hardly an insignificance in those two countries (about 25m sales in the US and 5m in the UK), it balances that with a healthy business across Japan and other parts of Europe. Although the chances of Xbox succeeding in Japan remain slim, its position across Europe could feasibly be strengthened.

US and Europe priority over "Safe" Japan

With Sony expecting Microsoft to tackle Europe more aggressively, CVG has heard from a company insider that PlayStation is "prepared to do whatever it takes" to ensure there is no PS4 delay across Europe.

It remains unclear whether there will be a PS4 supply shortage that would affect its output across any of the main three markets, but CVG understands that, if the launch stock is tight, the US and Europe will be the priority over the perceivably "safe" region of Japan.

All interesting stuff,but take note all this is not official,just from a apparent Sony insider..but it certainly will be interesting to see Microsofts plan

Up since 2:30. Spent 90 minutes trying to fall back asleep tormented by the theme song from WKRP in Cincinnati in my brain. Don't ask me, cause I don't know.

surely this should be a new thread 

Ha,you could look into this soooo many ways

they have now launched an actual kickstarter(because of demand apparently) and extended the date

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/617502838/shadow-of-the-eternals

Eurogamer

The ex-Silicon Knights devs at Precursor Games have added an actual Kickstarter to supplement its Shadow of the Eternals crowdfunding campaign.

Previously, the Eternal Darkness spiritual successor only accepted donations through its official site. Those who donate that way will receive an exclusive "Whateley Expose," a digital collection of lore, manuscripts and clues from the clandestine Order of the Unseen.

Precursor also bolstered its event tiers so that the $100 Magikal Supporter reward now contains a digital art book and the Insane Supporter $5000 tier (which one person had claimed) now allows such generous backers the ability to contribute to the game's sanity events, artwork, music and storyline.

So why the Kickstarter? Precursor claimed it's "due to overwhelming popular demand," though one suspects the developer is struggling to meet it's goal with only $170,255 of its $1.5 million goal funded between both crowdfunding sites, and the Kickstarter's 19th June deadline is a couple of weeks later than the 7th June one on the official site, giving the fledgling dev more time to meet its goal.

Is the Hannibal decision maybe because you guys lost an episode after Boston?,did ratings start to dip after that episode was pulled?

Great thread!

Final Fantasy XIII-2:Digital Contents Selection


seems its Japan only at the moment,hopefully it will come to our shores as well as i have yet to pick this up

In Japan, Square Enix just announced Final Fantasy XIII-2 Digital Contents Selection for the Xbox 360 and the PS3. According to Square Enix, the version is FFXIII-2 plus a selection of the game's post release DLC items. Packed in an original box, this version goes on sale July 18 in Japan.

As someone posted on Kotaku,why not just release a GOTY style edition..why a selection of the games post release stuff?


This is the list of DLC currently available for FFXIII-2,lots of outfits,accessories and weapons
http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Final_Fantasy_XIII-2_Downloadable_Content


Hopefully this new edition will focus on the scenarios DLC,rather than that other crap

The combined cost of all DLC is 5440 MSP for the Xbox 360, and about $67 for PS3.

[The Tales of Symphonia: Perfect Edition pack will also include the game's Wii-exclusive sequel Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World. Both games will feature jazzed up HD visuals.]

Eurogamer

Acclaimed GameCube and PS2 role-player Tales of Symphonia is to be re-released on PlayStation 3, a new report suggests.

The Tales of Symphonia: Perfect Edition pack will also include the game's Wii-exclusive sequel Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World. Both games will feature jazzed up HD visuals.

Tales series boss Hideo Baba teased the Perfect Edition to Spanish site Koi-Nya, and said it would be "a representation of the dreams and hopes of the fans, who have long been wanting it".

Tales of Symphonia scored an impressive 9/10 upon its 2004 GameCube release.

"It may be clichéd, and altogether a little too bright and happy for its own good, but Tales of Symphonia is nonetheless epic, enjoyable, and superbly constructed," Rob Fahey wrote, "and deserves an audience far in excess of merely the hardcore JRPG fans who will undoubtedly snap it up with glee."

I gotta try this game out,so...

 

so where the film has been released,how's it doing compared to the first film?
hollywoodreporter.com

In those markets where Star Trek films have seen their strongest business -- U.K., Australia and Germany -- aggregate grosses for Into Darkness were 56 percent ahead of Abrams' 2009 reboot.

The real test for Paramount came in Mexico, New Zealand and German-speaking Switzerland, where the space-set franchise has never been especially popular. The results: Into Darkness paced 250 percent ahead of the 2009 film.

Mexico was of particular importance, since sci-fi isn't a favored genre there (it's also one of the biggest markets for 3D fare). Into Darkness took in a stellar $3 million from 573 locations, triple the opening of the 2009 film...

...The U.K. led with $13.3 million from 556 locations, 50 percent better than the 2009 reboot. Into Darkness also dominated the market in Germany, grossing $7.6 million from 627 locations, 80 percent better. Australia took in $5.5 million from 263 locations, 50 percent ahead of the 2009 movie.
