Man I was so bored watching the EA Press Conference. Seriously I'm sure everyone else what screaming ZOMGs all over the place but not me. Here's my responses to each announcement.
- Mass Effect 3 release at March 6 2012. It's a Galactic War. I'm not a fan of Mass Effect myself but it still looks good.
- Need For Speed: The Run. Uses Autolog and implements it in the games story. You get to play outside of the car. I really don't care myself.
- Star Wars: The Old Republic. The MMO to topple World Of Warcraft? I'm not sure. Not gonna play it either.
- SSX has a new game. Don't care myself at all. Hate sports games. It has 3 modes Race it, Trick it and Survive it.
- Fifa 12. So... bored now... EA Sports football club social network kinds thing... falling asleep...
- Madden NFL 12. Jesus Christ another roster update that should have been DLC. Greedy, just greedy. Really getting sleepy... YAWN!
- The Sims Social. A Facebook Sims game? It was bound to happen. Can I kill Sims is all I want to know.
- Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning. Another bloody fantasy RPG. I miss JRPGs being on top more and more with each new Western RPG.
- Overstrike. I am so sold on this game.
- Battlefield 3... Modern Warfare 3... what's the difference? Really? They look and play the same. Don't like FPS games where I kill people very much if at all.
All that was interesting was Overstrike from Insomniac. Sure Mass Effect 3 looks good but it's not my type of game.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
I am not sure how anyone can compare BF3 and MW3. MW3 is console footage while BF3 is high end (so high end it is probably unaffordable to most) PC footage. Gameplay looks good for Battlefield 3 but it seems it is trying to hard to be real but failing at one key step. Its an arcade type shooter not a battle sim. A big overhall would be needed for it to be a battlefield sim (see ARMA)
So far EA has been the best. Almost everything shown was top notch, and I'm really looking forward to Overstrike, Battlefield, and Mass Effect 3.
N4S was nice as well. EA has really changed for the better and come a long way.
What a bad blog. After calling MW3 and BF3 the same i think i'll never go back here.
All modern warfare style games are the same, just different developers. Sure it's different locations but they're still military gun wanks. I am sick of them myself and being Australian I just can't get into them since Australia isn't so gungho militarised.
Besides if people can say all JRPGs are the same I can do the same for military shooters. I deserve the same courtesy. Also I didn't mean to offend with the statement, it's just they all look and play the same. Also yes I played MW2 and BF2 and they played the same on PS3 to me.
