Roderick Posted June 6, 2011 Microsoft was awful! Just awful! This is 2010 all over! The only spark, nay, RAY (Myzuka) of hope was when Mass Effect 3 appeared, and then they uncovered -oh horror- Kinect controls for it, as demonstrated by what could only have been a wooden manakin! WHAT IS THIS I CAN'T EVEN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Murdoc Posted June 6, 2011 (edited) Xbox, Bing Google *** I liked ME 2, but the series kind of faded for me there, 3 looks pretty much like the game I play and lose all interest in. I miss ME1. edit: Oh hey I forgot something, it's quite plausible that at the Ubisoft press conference there will be something in the way of Farcry 3, which will likely make Remo cry a bit, but not in the good way.

Sno Posted June 6, 2011 Hey, Microsoft was pretty much what i thought it was going to be. Staying the course and lots of Kinect. Nothing much interesting, very dull. Though after the presser was done, some sites were picking up that Microsoft is going to announce cloud saves on Live. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sno Posted June 6, 2011 I just finished watching that Microsoft presser. That was pretty awful. That Kinect Fable game looks awful. Gears 3 looks good. Halo 4 from 343, Halo CE: Anniversary from Certain Affinity. Minecraft making its console debut on 360 with Kinect support is very, very odd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Noyb Posted June 6, 2011 Especially since Minecraft's development strategy seems completely at odds with Microsoft's aversion towards agile development, what with long QA delays for patches and a history of pressuring devs to charge for substantial updates.

Sno Posted June 6, 2011 So Halo CE: Anniversary is being developed by Certain Affinity and Saber Interactive and it is not running on the Reach engine. It's built up off of the original game, the original code. It'll have a toggle that lets you jump between the new graphics and the old graphics on the fly. It'll also have online co-op, and it'll be budget-priced. (They've learned from ODST, clearly.) Sounds like the competitive MP is just going to be a stripped down version of Halo Reach though, like the Halo 3 Mythic disc that shipped with ODST. Essentially, the competitive multiplayer in Halo CA: Anniversary will amount to being a map pack for Reach, and will be cross-compatible with the original release of Halo Reach. (I like this approach, and i respect Microsoft for it. They're supporting and reinforcing the major Halo releases instead of diluting them. It's good for the community and it's good for the games.) Halo 4 will be 343's first game, and i have some ideas about what they might do with it, but i don't expect anybody here cares enough about Halo to want to hear it. Heh. They've all got a lot to prove though, now that Bungie has moved on. (To be fair though, Certain Affinity and 343 are actually a bunch of ex-Bungie people.)

I don't know about cross release with Reach, unless the put the Halo CE Pistol and The Halo CE Warthog in the options for multiplayer Reach. Otherwise it won't feel like Halo CE, the Reach pistol and Warthog have a bunch of differences which define the separate games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Otherwise it won't feel like Halo CE, the Reach pistol and Warthog have a bunch of differences which define the separate games. I don't think you're going to get that original Halo CE multiplayer in this game. It's probably going to be like ODST, where there was a new campaign with new weapons and everything, but the competitive multiplayer was literally just the competitive half of Halo 3. ODST was two seperate games bundled together. They're saying the multiplayer in Halo CE: Anniversary will have maps from Halo CE remade, but that will probably just be a new Reach map pack, and it'll probably be made seperately available for the normal version of Reach as well. The remake half of Halo CE: Anniversary will probably just be the campaign and co-op, the competitive multiplayer will just be a gutted version of Reach without all the campaign and co-op aspects of Reach.

n0wak Posted June 7, 2011 Why am I still watching these press conferences? They're so fucking boring. Fuck.

Sno Posted June 7, 2011 Sony's show was... Eh... The BioShock stuff was weird and unexpected. Every copy of BioShock Infinite on the PS3 will also have a free copy of the first BioShock included on the same Blu-Ray? BioShock Infinite will have extensive Move support? An exclusive and unannounced BioShock spin-off for the PSV? PS Vita looks weird to me, i think it's built around a philosophical fallacy of Sony's, the idea that people actually want elaborate home console-like experiences from their handhelds. I don't think that has ever been true, not in the west at least. (The Uncharted demo also reeked of unnecessary touchscreen/motion control, reminds me of all those early PS3 Sixaxis games.) The crowd booing at AT&T being the exclusive 3G provider was pretty funny. 250 for the base model though, that's pretty competitive pricing, i honestly didn't think Sony would hit that price point. That puts Nintendo in a very tough spot with the 3DS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squid Division Posted June 7, 2011 The Steam chat thing was great. Be sure to join us tomorrow for Nintendo if you can. The drinking game for tomorrow is: Innovative Industry-leading anybody with a French accent Revolutionary 3D Thanks [Name]! and Finish all the alcohol in a 3 mile radius if Nintendo announces a new console without announcing any worthwhile launch games. Help me out, the tried and true helicopters, airstrikes, and quick time events won't hold up for Nintendo (hopefully). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
