I'm still very skeptical about the dialogue system in ME. I mean, if you look at the gameplay footage that just came up, here are the 3 dialogue choices available to the player: 1. You're right. 2. I'll stop him. 3. Not if I can help it! Repeat after me: 1. You're right. 2. I'll stop him. 3. Not if I can help it! Another time, now: 1. You're right. 2. I'll stop him. 3. Not if I can help it! One last time for good measure: 1. You're right. 2. I'll stop him. 3. Not if I can help it! Ahh, Bioware, will you ever stop pushing the envelope for interactive storytelling?

Okay, I just stayed up and watched the Microsoft Conference from the new E3. Overall, it was... erm, okay. Nothing really groundbreaking was announced. What I remember: Gears of War for PC / XP + Vista. Shocking news. Mass Effect trailer had nice music. Lost Odyssey trailer was promising. Interested to see how the gameplay will turn out. No new footage for GTA4, but apparently the prev two trailers were from the 360 version. RE5 short teaser. Not much shown. http://www.gametrailers.com/player/21466.html Also, MGS4 on 360. Assassin's Creed demonstration was nice enough. Nice music during the chase scene. Live Action Halo was ROFLASKGJSAKGHASKJGAS New Halo-themed 360 is ROFLASKGJSAKGHASKJGASer. Halo 3 trailer was pretty cool. Nice orchestrated music. Just freaking announce online coop already, jerks. Trailer here http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?ty...k=ethreeblowout Disney + other studios will offer movies on Marketplace. Available tonight. Also, Canada + Europe. Sonic 1 and Golden Axe coming out on Live Arcade tonight. Golden Axe is actually pretty awesome news. Online coop + a decent pricetag means Nick and me start hacking and slashing away. Ultimately, they focused too much on games coming out this year. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but just means no huge announcements. Not actually from the conference, but apparently Blue Dragon demo is out on Marketplace. One of these announcements may or may not be false.

One company specializing in game CG admitted a long while ago that they made the footage. In any case, I find the new Call of Duty 4 singleplayer trailer much more impressive, given that it actually is in-game. http://www.gametrailers.com/player/20756.html

The correct answer.

White Knight is the only PS3 title I'm interested it. Ninja Gaiden Sigma I'm pretty meh about, especially since it's a remake of a game I just finished a few months back. Ninja Gaiden 2 is the title you need to look out for, and Itagaki has numerously said that 'Xbox fans will not be disappointed', whatever that means. Still, if you've never played the original and have a PS3, anyone considering themselves gamers who don't have the reflex level of Hades need to play Sigma. I could give a rat's Hades about FFXIII. I would give one about MGS4 if I played the first 3 titles. That in and of itself makes this an unfair comparison from my end. I have a lot of interest in Too Human - it might be my most anticipated 360 title (this is coming from someone who hated Diablo sp, but enjoyed it enough in coop). Gameplay-wise, it seems a lot more involved, and learning more towards action games like DMC or God of War. Online coop through the whole story = ultimate selling point (no splitscreen, though, you each need the game and a system). Storywise, Silicon Knights apparently has a pretty good track record when it comes to storytelling. Limited footage I've seen of it looks very promising. Examples: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-reyBgXOykw Personally, there are too many coop games on the 360 compared to the PS3 for it to be a fair battle, without even taking other factors into the equation. But that's just my priorities. I skipped the last two gens because of a lack of coop emphasis. That being said, the PS3 does have a few coop games (most being the ones that are multiplatform, though the *current* trend is that the 360 often ends up as having the better version - though that's probably because those get released first, and the PS3 gets semi-rushed ports). And if one of your buddies is willing to let you leech off him on a 360 for coop games, that's an important thing to consider. Many (but not all) of the coop titles have splitscreen. Ultimately, if you buy a system primarily for a game that's not even out yet, that's pretty sad and you deserve to be ripped off. Wait for the bloody title, regardless of system. Though, if you're considering dropping 500$ just to play your PS2 games in the future, :brows:

I'll get the 360 version. I barely use the PC for games anymore, aside from wargames

I dunno, Nick giggles like a little girl when he chainsaws baddies, and he has pretty high standards when it comes to eviscerating people. It's almost as disturbing as when he burns people in Rainbow 6 Vegas.

I'm going to give you knuckle pie in the face, you bloody commie.

Dear Obsidian, Please add turn-based combat. Sincerely, Your CEO

After all, that's all it took for JE to get ported.

In any case, Phoenix Wright > Fahrenheit as far as gameplay goes in the genre. Exploring crime scenes + finding evidence, then presenting in court and pointing out testimonial contradictions > Simon Says: The Game. Lacks necrophilia, though. I should try the new Sam & Max sometime.

Haha, is Chris Taylor taking a jab at his own games by acknowledging their lack of atmosphere? EDIT: Time to murder Tale.

Is that why you were trying to kill us in every battle when we were PnPing? Jerk.

Yes. That's exactly what Oblivion with guns would be like. Real time with first person view. Yes.

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/21277.html New video. I think this may be the first one that really showcased the gameplay's potential to me.

David Cage is some wannabe director that thinks all gamers are secretly necrophiliacs. Most of us are, but that's still pretty pretentious.

Guys, guys! Let's listen to the guy who doesn't play games regarding his opinion on games that he doesn't play!!

Man, those capitalist stolers.

In before lock!

It is when FO3 is going to outsell all previous games in the franchise combined.

Get the quote right, you jerks. Apathy is death.

I dunno, this time they'll sell buttloads and piss off a ton of people. Two birds, one stone.

Isn't that the whole point of Bluray?

I also have been secretly playing games
