Play.com Live 08; Day Two wrap-up

Excerpt from PS3 Attitude:

"Day Two saw much of the same action as Day One. The fact is, the show was relatively small. Having said that, this was the first ever Play.com Live event and I'm sure they'll take feedback from this to ensure it's better in years to come. The UK certainly needs a single retail event right now.

We did get a chance to look round the areas we missed on the first day, which included watching the video footage of Ghostbusters and Prototype. Unfortunately, neither title was available to play. Vivendi did, however, have the Bourne Conspiracy for gamers to get their hands on. The people I spoke to were impressed with the gameplay, which combines close-quarters combat with third-person shooting and driving."

Bourne Conspiracy was the standout game from people i have spoken too not much else impressed at the event

resistance1006642d ago

Bourne exceeded my expectations, however i would say Gran Turismo 5: Prologue, HAZE and Rock Band stole the show.

GT5: Prologue had massive waiting times to play throughout both days. All the HAZE demo units were full all day as well.

played some games...but i was really disappointed by gt:5 prologue....no offence sony fans...but it sucked...the AI was poor the graphics werent as good as i expected and it was amazingly slow...and the steering wheel was crap

...you were driving a Mini in London!

After having played hundreds (literally) of racing games over the last 20 years, and tried every wheel, I can tell you GT5:P is spot on and the wheel is one of the best ever.

I did see a lot of people complaining it wasn't realistic. I saw the same people trying to turn a street corner at 50 mph without braking at all. If you tried that in London, you'd crash too.

The guys I saw complain were the ones who basically couldn't drive. For the record, I managed 1:07 - the competition winners were slightly better than me at 1:05. Most of the people I saw complaining were managing 1:30 upwards. Sometimes it's not the games that's bad - it's the players! ;-)

squelchy156641d ago

i got a 1:11...thats not bad for someone who hasnt used a steering wheel in games since the first GTs for ps1

it wasnt the time trial i thought wasnt realistic....it was the actual racing against the AI...the AI was hopeless

Ranking The Coldest, Most Ruthless Protagonists In Gaming

Not all video game protagonists are sweet, jolly, or wholesome. Folks like Agent 47 are cold, ruthless, and reserved and it shows.

cloganart676d ago

I'd like to believe Joel's situation is more about turning into a calloused survivor in a cold-hard world who may have made selfish decisions. Not inherently ruthless.

Armyofdarkness677d ago

Ah, fond memories of strangling all the people in their hotel rooms in Hitman 1

bunt-custardly677d ago

Lara Croft, Nathan Drake etc, cos they pretend to be the good guys but are mass murderers that show no remorse.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos759d ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto758d ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger88758d ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies758d ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
