Talks about the Xbox live stream, which will be smartglass enabled. Sam Jackson will be able to talk directly to Xbox Live community, Xbox live voting will impact the show.(even more teabagging this year?)

Talks about some of the game footage from the big games coming out next spring, then says there will be games shown that are coming "far beyond summer of 2013"

Gonna be a video package where Sam Jackson is inserted into a bunch of different games. All the former hosts will be back to celebrate 10 year anniversary.(Jack Black, Zach Levi, Snoop, Neil Patrick Harris)

Will be available on demand for 48 hours on Xbox Live after show ends. Pre show will start 1 hour before.

There are usually some relevant games announced at this thing.  Stuff that won't even be out for at least another year and probably isn't worth getting excited for yet.

I'm guessing a new Bethesda game announcement, the third Batman Arkham game, and something from Valve, I guess.  Or The Next Great Sequel in the Saint's Row Franchise.

So what you're saying is that the chance of anything of interest being revealed is slim.

Unless seeing a bunch of game journals and PR people getting together to jack each other off is of interest.

"For hard-core gamers this is the first place you will ever see those new games," says the show's executive producer Mark Burnett. "Imagine if the Academy Awards was on and they announced five movies that no one has ever heard of. That is the equivalent. You will be on a rip-roaring, two-hour ride of television."

RAGE, despite it's boring open-world content, was incredibly fun when it was just a fast-paced shooter.

Valve fans...it's time to talk.  She hasn't paid attention to you for years.  She's squeezed out a few projects here and there, but mostly only sure bets like Portal 2 and DOTA and hats.  It's time to let her go. If she comes back on her own, then you can get excited, but it's best to just put her out of your mind.

I also have a feeling that whenever Half Life 3 is announced it won't be at a VGA events. I think Valve probably thinks that a half life 3 announcement can stand on its own or is more suited to a traditional slot at E3 or something.

I also have a feeling that whenever Half Life 3 is announced it won't be at a VGA events. I think Valve probably thinks that a half life 3 announcement can stand on its own or is more suited to a traditional slot at E3 or something.

It depends on where they'd announce it at E3.  Left 4 Dead 2 was at the Microsoft thing.  And Portal 2, while not an announcement, had a dedicated thing at Sony's thing.

Portal 2's announcement was a crazy ARG thing patched into Portal 1.  I guess that's why people take everything as a hint.


and I thought the star wars mention was a dead giveaway that the previous post was a joke.  but whatever!

personally, I wouldn't mind another situation like Portal 2.  I never get involved in it but I thought it was hilarious how cryptic Valve was and how the fans cracked it all.

And the title has spaces to fit Metal Gear Solid V in it, or something like that.

now I'm just confused if there's a Metal Gear Solid 5 and Ground Zeroes or they're both the same game.

And he would probably return the favor by blowing you.

Because that's what MG is these days. Kojima just blowing his fans by giving them crap after crap with further stupid retcons that further convolutes this shit up. The series was over, why the fuck do you want anymore? There's no more interesting story to tell. Let the man make some other games.

Hell the trailer for this game? That looked like a cool horror game. A new horror game by Kojima? That sounds cool. But nope it will be another shitty Metal Gear that shits on what came before that fans will eat up.

If MGS stops selling, Konami'll probably throw in the towel on gaming altogether and officially become what they already are unofficially: a Yugioh company

MGS5 and Ground Zeroes are separate games.  Likely one is being done at KojiPro in Japan while the other is being done at that new studio Konami formed in California.  Konami probably wants yearly or near-yearly releases for Metal Gear going forward, given it's the only game property they have worth a damn in sales anymore.  Castlevania obviously didn't go as well as they'd hoped, what with LoS2 being confirmed as the last one in that series and all.

All this time I thought Ground Zeros IS MGS5.

Winning Eleven has fallen off really hard in the last few years.  From what I'm told, deservedly so.

Its really bad, the menu stuff is prob the same they used last gen.

The localisation is just such a mess you wont believe it, a normal game has separate strings for everything but Konami somehow thinks its a good idea to have variables everywhere. I guess their idea was to ensure naming is consistent or to save money on translation but this doesnt work at all.

Ofcourse this might work in Japanese but in every other language this is an utter grammatical disaster. Sometimes to hilarious results where some word could be used in two instances, but it doesnt mean anything in mine. Some strings where just made of variables like 4 in a row, oh the horrible things i have seen.

Prob the most messed up stuff ive seen.

look at it this way: nearly everything from Sony and Microsoft is in the first half of the year, except maybe Beyond.  nearly every third party release excludes Wii U, most likely because they've been in development for some time.  everyone is wrapping up.

It was just jarring and made the game look weak.  They cut from an early (intentionally awkward) cutscene to a boring battle from later in the game.  The enemies are heavies (why they soak up damage) who don't engage the player since they're focused on fighting another faction.  The previous footage all looked dynamic and awesome.  Here, you have a guy parked on a rail shooting rockets at people.

System Shock 2 is god-tier. Tough, hardcore, scary. No hand-holding, no friendly NPCs to break the tension, no cutscenes, and a raving AI that insults you every step of the way. I recommend digging it up and giving it a go.

If you guys are talking about running System Shock 2, just recently there was a breakthrough on running it on modern machines.  http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=140085

For Deus Ex you just need to get an updated renderer: http://kentie.net/article/dxguide/
