Author Topic: GDC REPORT! Thread of disappointment, fail, and demi tea bagging all and sundry (Read 20575 times)

We all know that a vast number of BoreHats are molesting their way through GDC as we speak.

Demi is probably up to the makers plate in bear chuff as we speak.

So what can you report?

Tell us here!
Filthy rumours also accepted!

Let's try to keep this thread real, yo. None of that megaton stroke inducing rumor shit that GAF has been spouting for a week now.

over here we aren't stupid and realize that gdc != e3

I've read a rumor that PGR4 is looking pretty good.....

Still needs to be confirmed.

GAF's inability to wrap its hive mind around the concept of a DEVELOPER CONFERENCE FOR DEVELOPERS is pretty hilarious.

They'll just dump a bunch of videos/demos on XBL during the event. No live streaming but conference vids are usually up pretty fast after the fact.

Didn't Dyack promise the Too Bomba demo for an "around the holidays" window? Seems a bit behind. I really want to try it out.

SO I CAN POOP ON IT HUHAUHAUAH

i've avoided all the Dyack drama, so i don't really have an opinion of Poo Shoeman yet.

The idea of it potentially being a phat loot PSU style game has me half interested, but ... well... it could be poo.

I....kinda don't like PSO. Well, actually, I had a conversion experience with it. I was playing the Xbox version, totally into it, so I made my friend go get it so we could play together, and after a few minutes he said to me, "ALL YOU DO IS GO FROM ROOM TO ROOM AND HIT A." And he was right...and it was like the Dynasty Warriors moment. I could never go back.

PSO + good story might be enough for me though. Depends on who Dyack opts to rip off this time.

Ah, not as cool but pretty decent. I'd have sex with a mule for a NG2 or Too Human demo up.

me too. I know NG2 will be great and I have a good feeling about TH. Even if it turns out it sucks, I want to see how it is.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #14 on:** February 18, 2008, 09:44:40 PM »

So TH is no longer DMC with analog attacks? Or was I always misunderstanding the purpoes of the game?

More like PSO with analog sticks. Or Diablo with analog sticks.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #16 on:** February 18, 2008, 10:17:47 PM »

I guess I don't want that game.

But was it ever supposed to be a God of War style thing or no? I feel like I've only heard of this Diablo shit in the last few months. And is it online co-op for 4?

Dyack has referred to the combat as "relaxing." It's not God of War. Maybe watered down GoW + loot drops for effect.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #20 on:** February 18, 2008, 10:57:06 PM »

GoW is already watered down enough

When did GDC become a PR conference anyway? I know some big announcements have been made the past a la Wiimote reveal, Little Big Planet and such, but I doubt anything substantive will be revealed, though.

That's not FEZ, though. That is some sort of platformer for the DS. It looks cool as well, but it certainly isn't FEZ (the PC game).

I'd like to hear about the CryTek demonstration, personally. While I've already played the game, I'm very interested in seeing if they can actually pull off something similar on the consoles.

Gears was pretty fun for a while but once the whole WOW! factor of the graphics wears off, you realize you're doing the same thing over and over for 90% of the game...

I only enjoyed Gears in coop. Probably the reason I think Uncharted is such a turd. A game can't survive on pretty graphics alone.

I hope Sam's at least 1/2 correct about the lastest showing of NG2. Before this, the combination of DMC4's nice visuals and NG2's lackluster screenshots/videos had reduced my NG2 interest to almost nil.

Co-op was fun but I never realized how broken Gears' cover system really was until I played Uncharted. If Gears 2 doesn't match the fluidity of Uncharted's combat then it'll be a colossal disappointment.

I'm pretty indifferent to the franchise right now.
