Dun-dun-dunnnn!
This is totally unnecessary. I'm all for a graphical representation of your recent Achievements, but CALLING them 'Medals' - instead of just leaving them with the title Achievements - raises the "desperately uncreative thief" flag as high as you can, and furiously waves it around.
Hooray LBP! And Hooray for PS3 owners for having the most open ended game ever! And Hooray for Media Molecule for making it!!!
This would have been nice to mention at the conference
Box Art meet Downloadable Gaming. I'm sorry Box but we're going to have to let you go.
Media Molecule, you are my heroes! NOWGIMMEEDAGAME! Please?
they're procedural. a weapon consists of several parts, a barrel, ammo type, stock, scope, etc. They made several variations of each part type, and let the computer "build" 500,000 by making all the combinations into weapons. So you get a shotgun that shoots poison shells, or a sniper rifle that shoots heat seeking bullets. I'm sure that a lot of them will be useless, like a sniper rifle that shoots shotgun shells.
Yup, and its not a post-apocalyptic game. Its set on a sparsely colonized alien world. That was in Game Informer too.
Multiplayer sounds freaking amazing! 1 part Team Fortress, 1 part COD4. Did he say if weapon unlocks would come with rank?
Buying out Sony's exclusives, and paying for their own exclusives is the game that Microsoft is playing. If Sony is trying to beat MS at that game then yes, and they had been get on the ball quickly. Now if Sony wants to play their own game, the game that made PS1 and PS2 a success, then they need to stick to what they are doing. But once again they'll need to turn up the throttle soon.
its hard for me to believe that these people can't read, because THEY'RE ON THE INTERNET READING!
It's a .6% drop, not exactly noticeable.
Let me translate:
"We have no exclusives to announce. We have no more new ideas, so we are stealing a combination of Nintendo's Miis, and Sony's Home, and claiming it was our own idea. We've also decided to appeal to 3rd party studios' pocket books. By throwing enough money( that any executive would be fired for it turning down) at other people's ideas we can pretend they were attracted to Microsoft and our 360 as a platform, and not just a source of subsidization for huge develop...
No disc change for the win?
Wow! Microsoft has tons of money to throw at anything they see as a threat. GTA4, Fallout 3, Rock Band 2, FFXIII?!! I didn't see this coming, but I can't say I'm really surprised.
Animation is usually done with low-poly proxy models with little or no textures so as not to slow down the animator. I won't discount these videos as possibly axed scenes from another game. If these are from the alleged PS3 version though, expect the quality of the finished work to be exponentially better, both in animation and visuals.
don't forget where he practices t-bagging. this post-star-wars-kid world is a scary place.
the first guy is like the Indian David Jaffe, brilliant!
In addition to the others who have/will say this: MGS4, Uncharted, Killzone2, Resistance2. If these games are possible then I fail to see the problem with the hardware. MGS4 renders all those beautiful cut scenes in real time, shake the controller if you don't believe it. Uncharted had no install needed, and only ONE loading time when you start up the game, gorgeous. Killzone2 is visually( according to 1up, IGN, and others) coming strikingly close to the target video. Resistance2 looks amazin...
Vader... the end.
E3 should be a week long yearly event starting on a Friday and lasting until the following Wednesday. The expo should be open to the public and press over the weekend, and open to exclusively the press during the weekdays. The rate of development cycles is 1-2 years depending on the size of the game so yearly makes sense.
