They've got a setup here with the Omni walking pad, Oculus Rift, and some kind of gun controller. It's absolutely ridiculous, but also totally awesome. I'll try it if I can, but they're not letting regular people try it out right now.

Basically he said the two next-gen consoles are neck and neck power-wise, but he can't go into specifics because of NDAs. He said 3DS, Vita, and Wii U were interesting but not worth his time.

Also he said he was impressed that Andoid was't complete crap now. :andrex

He thinks this going to be the last traditional console cycle.

He's pretty down on 4k, he said 1080p is really good enough and that latency improvement is more important. He likes 120hz.

Played a little Elder Scrolls Online and...it's promising. Looks/feels a lot like Skyrim. It had that kind of intimacy to the environments that most MMOs feel like they don't have, think smaller more immediate environments as opposed to the large open fields. First-person view is in, as is snatching loot from random barrels and containers. Combat was action-oriented and included dodging and rolling and blocking. Graphics were nice, maybe a bit of a step down from Skyrim at higher displayed levels [it's still nearly a year away, though, so the graphics might improve between now and release]. Conversations with NPCs were all voiced and flowed exactly the same as NPC conversations in Skyrim.

So yeah, I'm cautiously optimistic that it'll feel like a single-player Bethesda RPG with other people running around.

Possibly, but it didn't feel quite as impactful or intuitive.

I'm surprised they haven't just added multiplayer to traditional TES games. Just do it like GW1 where (some) towns are player hubs where you can trade, form parties, etc and everything else is solo play if you want.

The best thing about TES games is the game world.

The worst thing about TES games is the story, the fetch quests, the combat.

Making it an mmo will add real people and thus real stories to a cool world. So it will actually make TES better.

The new Wolfenstein looks pretty good, definitely better than the last Wolfenstein game. Really good graphics and art direction, dual-weilding shotguns/rifles is pretty awesome.

I didn't see anything that looked overtly supernatural, but they didn't talk much about the story other than the basic setup and nothing in the two segments they showed off had anything like that. A lot of the retro-future tech and overall look reminds me a lot of Jinroh: The Wolf Brigade, a very dark and grimy and industrial atmosphere for most of it [though they did show off a section that was actually fairly bright and colorful].

And I enjoyed the previous Wolfenstein for what it was: a solid 7.0 shooter with a few neat gimmicks.

It takes place in the 60's, so it would make sense for Hilter to have a robot body.

Which they won't reveal, of course, because he's going to be the surprise final boss and it would be silly to spoil that.

Okay, there's definitely something weird/supernatural in the new Wolfenstein, relating to the Nazi's advanced technology. In the demo at Quakecon you stumble across a research facility full of ancient, but advanced artifacts that appear to be Hebrew in nature. That's all I got so far.

What they showed off, and what I played of the demo, was definitely better than Wolftenstein '09 [and I happened to think that game was a solid 7.0 shooter, fun at time but nothing really that memorable]. This is being made by a totally different developer, by the way, some of the same people who worked on the Riddick games at Starbreeze.

ET is one of the best multiplayer games of all time
