Electronic Entertainment Expo 2012 (E3)

[Ruki]

Just so you can watch it again.

Oh my god I want this game.

When is the release date?

[LL!]

Your mom.

That's the release date.

[RoyWill Rumble]

There isn't one. And hopefully there will never be one, just to disappoint you, Ruki.

[Your Mom]

I missed most of Ubisoft and after catching that guy cohost thank god. Anyway Watch dogs looks so cool!

[Sousa]

P.S. You guys all suck, Just Dance is so much fun when you have kids. Y'all are way too young to be this jaded.

I know who Aisha Tyler is but who's the other guy?

And I assume Universal meant local multi for Paradise, Dragsy.

Ah, I see. I doubt that killed it though. Split-screen's been on its way out for years now. And wasn't Paradise critically and commercially successful?

I really hate when people underestimate the use and advantage of split-screen. I was able to sell 3 different people on Minecraft thanks to Splitscreen in the past 2 weeks. I personally was originally sold on Halo and COD:MW (I was a COD fan in the PC days) thanks to split screen. Playing online is NOT a replacement for that, at all. I don't think there is a coincidence Halo and COD dominate the industry and are seemingly the only franchises that still utilize it.

But regardless, Crash Party Mode in Burnout Revenge and Burnout 3 did NOT utilize split screen. It was a pass-the-controller type game and you could have 6-8 people playing it at once. Perfect party game. No excuse for getting rid of that, IMO.

I didn't really follow gaming news when Paradise was released, but I am guessing it was successful. I just find it weird that it's been over 4 years since the release and we haven't had a real Burnout game since.

I don't have a problem with split-screen, it's a shame the focus is so heavily on online. But you can't deny it's getting less and less relevant. Well done, 3 people in a fortnight, that's not a drop in the ocean for a single store, never mind the entire gaming industry.

Since Paradise, Criterion got tapped to do NFS Hot Pursuit and now Most Wanted, that's why there's been no Burnout. EA wanted the NFS franchise to be relevant again and they have the money.

It's somewhat disheartening to see so much of the "what is this bullshit" mentality towards stuff like Kinect. I remember playing Madden on the Mega Drive and daydreaming about shouting audibles and whatnot, so I'm amazed. Sure, it's not integral to the game, but it's still impressive and a nice add-on.

Fuck your dancing games though.

I don't think anyone had a problem with Just Dance being advertised or the game itself. So much as the fact they chose to advertise it with a 3 minute Flo Rida performance.

[Your Mom]

If the Sony thing isnt on until the top of the hour quit saying it's "Next"

If Kinect wasn't so expensive (or I wasn't so poor), I would have Just Dance and Dance Central. Dancing games rule!

EDIT: Ruki, that is amazing.

10 minutes till the Sony conference. Cross your fingers for GTA V.

[Berober]

I really hope my Pizza arrives now rather than during the show.

The million dollar question: Will the Playstation event make me finally give in and buy a Playstation?

Do it GoGo! We can play games together and you can be awful to me on a console instead of PC!

WUB WUB WUB

[TKz]

Long video is long.

[TKz]

Ugh. Another QTE game. >_>

[RoyWill Rumble]

Ugh. This game looks incredible.

And Heavy Rain, for what it did, was quite awesome. Not many games stuck with me like it did.

And Most Wanted is essentially Burnout with licensed cars. That's an awesome thing.
