Is this tonight?

[Stoney Mason]

Is this tonight?

Saturday

[Eel O'Brian]

Excellent idea, now I won't have to:

1. Watch the show
2.  Hunt any of this shit down

Thanks!

[Joe Molotov]

I'm going to start an EGA thread.

[Stoney Mason]

Can we just update the OP with news though.

How do you mean?

[Stoney Mason]

Update the OP with news items so we don't have to dig through the whole thread if we miss it.

Well I can update the OP with the videos once those come out. As far as news I don't really follow that shit so I'll just copy over the gaf thread.

[Robo]

The list of reveals is more enticing than the entirety of E3.

Mortal Kombat Character Reveal (Kratos?)

   Is this for real?  That makes too much sense.

[Eel O'Brian]

Far Away is my least favorite song from RDR.  Every song with vocals in that game sounds like whining.

They should have had an orchestra dressed like mexican banditos playing this:

[Brehvolution]

I wanna see some Twisted Metal!

[Mupepe]

Fuck yes.  I'm hyped for the Twisted Metal reveal.  Twisted Metal 2 was the game that got me hard into gaming.

Also, rumors are that MS is using this to show off adult oriented Kinect games so I'm hyped.

[Mupepe]

Dammit I'm so out of touch.  time to go find it on gametrailers. 

AND TWISTED METAL IS AWESOME AWESOME.  TAKE IT BACK, MOJO.

[Mupepe]

a lot of changes. hmm.  i'll have to see more than just random clips but i can understand how you feel.  on the other hand TWISTED METAL.

[Cravis]

Jaffe said ramming damage is back on GAF. He also teased classic DLC levels. I think it's going to be awesome as hell.

[Mupepe]

Jaffe did like a 15 min playthrough. Should be online somewhere.

oh shit.  i just saw random clips from the debut trailer on gametrailers.com.  i'll have to look for that later or if someone would be so kind, link me to it. 

[Eel O'Brian]

that e3 twisted metal stuff was obviously way early

i don't think it's wise to show any game really early in development, no one ever seems to hear when the person demonstrating says "this is a really early build" and just jumps on the "durrhurrhurr, looks turrible, ur hurr" train

[Stoney Mason]

Joystiq has learned from a trusted source that BioWare's enigmatic teaser from last month represents the first glimpse of Mass Effect 3. As many have guessed, the third installment looks to feature something brand new to the series: multiplayer. We're currently unable to confirm that the multiplayer component will be part of the game's unveiling at the upcoming Spike Video Game Awards.

The Spike VGAs will air this Saturday night, preceded by a good deal of internet speculation brought on by the above teaser image. As spotted by one of our commenters, Arth Vader, the gun above looks exactly like the M-29 Incisor Sniper Rifle from Mass Effect 2. BioWare has also blasted out curious QR codes via its Twitter feed, all of which indirectly reference things from the Mass Effect universe, including the Vostok system and the surface temperature of the planet Aequitas.

So, who's ready for more Mass Effect? Do we even need to ask?

Too early for Mass Effect 3

Mass Effect 2.5 by Obsidian  

[Raban]

Mass Effect 2.5 by Obsidian  

It already came out. It's called Alpha Protocol.

ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOFL Alpha Protocol isnt even as good as SyphonFilter.

Way to degrade ME2...

Wasn't comparing it to ME, but undoubtedly if Obsidian did an ME game, it'd be a lot like AP.

MP

This.  Stop wasting effort putting half-assed MP in my beloved single player franchises.

[ManaByte]

MP

This.  Stop wasting effort putting half-assed MP in my beloved single player franchises.

You do realize that the SP and MP are done by different teams...right? So the MP takes nothing away from SP.

[Robo]

NO I DID NOT

That wasn't what I was getting at, but OK.  Someone working on a feature that nobody wanted in the first place is a wasted effort.

Except a share of the budget.

[Eel O'Brian]

if they can keep 10% of purchasers from trading it in for the first month, it's probably worth it to them

could be good, people flapped their arms around girlishly over assassin's creed mp, and apparently that turned out decent

[Shaka Khan]

As long as the SP improves over ME2's, I'll be content and shut up about it. Otherwise, I'll girlishly flap my arms so. fucking. hard.

[Eel O'Brian]

i'm not disagreeing with any of you about this, btw, but if it doesn't cut into the sp experience i don't have a problem with it

they gotta do what they gotta do, even if it is a throwaway mode

it's either gonna be this or required online connections and code cards

[Raban]

I have similar feelings, shah, about improving the SP. I know EB loves ME2, but on multiple playthroughs that shit is just awful. I played through ME at least 5 times, enjoying every minute of it and I'm struggling to enjoy ME2 on just my second playthrough.

I admit the highs of ME2 best its predecessor, the lows are much more trecherous. I'd take awful driving segments and a handicapped inventory system in an ARPG over mindless planet scanning and a mediocre TPS with RPG elements.

The inclusion of multiplayer in ME3 however doesn't really bother me. It doesn't make much sense outside of "EA wants money" so I can see why it's getting backlash, but it's unfair to assume it's going to have a negative effect on the SP experience.

[Stoney Mason]

Bioware ain't dumb. The MP will have very little effect on the development of the SP even though I can already predict that's what a certain segment will say when the game comes out.


And since I actually like shooters games, I'm potentally interested in it.

[ManaByte]

It's Mass Effect 3:

[duckman2000]

lulz, there is a Prototype 2? I wonder if it will be anything like Hulk Ultimate Destruction.

[duckman2000]

Anything that wasn't exactly like Hulk UD was, not surprisingly, crappy. I actually looked forward to the game because I liked Hulk UD, but I didn't realize at the time that they would simply make Hulk UD again, sans Hulk.

[Stoney Mason]

again is this tomorrow? Cause I vaguely remember last year that everything was revealed a day before.

It's tomorrow.

[Great Rumbler]

Is that Christopher Lee as Hugo Strange?

[Stoney Mason]

I think I stuck all the shit that showed in the OP.

Probably some of the links will be taken down by the morning but I'll update them tomorrow if that happens or with better links.

[Smooth Groove]

Bunch of misleading BS trailers.  Current console graphics don't nearly look as good as they indicate. 

[Stoney Mason]

The only one that really got me hot and bothered with excitement was the Mass Effect 3 Trailer. Although I'm sure obviously most of them will be good games.

[cool breeze]

so, should Prototype be praised for keeping it in-game despite looking like a red and brown abomination before someone shit and bled all over it 

 

[OptimoPeach]

I'm all over Elder Scrolls V if it's running on a new engine

[Eel O'Brian]

Is that Christopher Lee as Hugo Strange?

sure sounded like him!

[Eel O'Brian]

yeah, it wasn't innovative or anything, but when the camera pulled back, and back, and back, and shepard turned around i was all "hell yeah!"

[Smooth Groove]

I'm all over Elder Scrolls V if it's running on a new engine

Oblivion's engine was actually pretty good.  Most of the graphical problems had to do with Oblivion not knowing how to make normal looking people.  Luckily, the modding community did a really great job at alleviating most of those problems.  I still don't get how a bunch of amateurs were able to get so much better results than a team of pros getting paid millions. 

[Great Rumbler]

A team of amateurs can focus on perfecting one thing and not have to worry about things like budget, returns, or time constraints. Would be nice if Bethesda got some better character artists though.

[Stoney Mason]

I'll play Elder Scrolls 5 no matter what but it would be a huge bummer if its on the same engine. That thing feels like its held together by duct tape and spit.

Morrowind, Oblivion, 2 Fallout games. Enough.

It would be nice to play something by them that actually felt somewhat polished and a little cinematic.

[Eel O'Brian]

i dunno, man, liberty prime fuckstomping all those enclave soldiers on his way to the jefferson memorial was a pretty cinematic gaming moment for me

[iconoclast]

Woah, I had no idea Bethesda was still using the Morrowind engine. Suddenly, it all makes sense.

[Stoney Mason]

i dunno, man, liberty prime fuckstomping all those enclave soldiers on his way to the jefferson memorial was a pretty cinematic gaming moment for me

No doubt that was cool but for every moment like that, I can think of 10 in each of those games where they fucked it up completely and their weird ass presentation lowered the quality of my experience.

I get that since its so open world its never gonna be this absolutely smooth experience but I'm hoping they at least concentrate on that a bit this go around.

[Stoney Mason]

Woah, I had no idea Bethesda was still using the Morrowind engine. Suddenly, it all makes sense.

I should have left out morrowind but I was more saying all their games feel exactly like. None of their games ever feel right on the presentation side. Playing Fallout New Vegas right now and I'm like I just couldn't stomach another one of these with the exact same flaws.  

[Great Rumbler]

It would be nice to play something by them that actually felt somewhat polished and a little cinematic.

I think if you're expecting this from a Bethesda game, then you're only ever going to be disappointed. They make games with big worlds that are perfect for exploring, for fighting monster out in the hills and the forests, finding out of the way places and seeing what's going on in the next town. Not about having awesome cinematic moments and polished presentation.

I'm not saying that I wouldn't like some of that in my Bethesda games, I'm just saying I don't think it'll happen.

My bar isn't necessarily Bioware. I don't they will ever make games like that. But there has to be a way to do better than what they have done.

It may not even be the engine per se although I do specifically think that engine is showing its age. Maybe even if they had id tech stuff behind them it would turn out all janky because that's not their skill set.

[Eel O'Brian]

also the weird little ambient side encounters, they're terrific at that kind of stuff

[EmCeeGrammar]

I must've missed the mandate that game trailers should be devoid of in game footage. 

[Eel O'Brian]

haha, you know that's almost always the case

[Smooth Groove]

I just started playing Fallout 3 recently with a shitload of mods which make the game look amazing.  They're not completely bug free though.  There was this prostitute who looked like she had blackface on.  LOL

[Stoney Mason]

I must've missed the mandate that game trailers should be devoid of in game footage. 

That battle was lost a long time ago. I use to get mad about it but then I realized my annoyance wasn't going to change anything.

[Eel O'Brian]

they don't do black people very well, they always look like their bodies are covered in soot or something

[Stoney Mason]

To be fair almost no game devs do black people well outside of basketball games. It's a damm shame.
