Morgoth

So, I just read that LA Noire is causing older PS3s to overheat, in conjunction with FW 3.61. Now I haven't installed the latest FW yet nor have I played the game yet, but who is the culprit? Does anyone else have a fat lady and any issues with game and/or 3.61?

Microsoft teases E3 presser with this image Let the speculation commence!

Looks like Oblivion.

You are now unmasked as Volo's alt and I claim my five electrum pieces. R00fles! Seriously, can you point out any major design flaws? Apart from the dull enemy waves there was nothing that stood out as annoying or fun breaking.

Yeah, having a deep and branching storline is exactly what people want to play on their cell phones. Seriously, what a waste of time. I hope something more "substantial" will be announced for E3.

I doubt the game itself will be in 2D, I think they just require a 2D animator for animated items or UI elements.

Laidlaw and Bioware don't have to answer or make apologies to anyone. They made their design decisions and it paid off, because DA3 is already on it's way.

30 GB won't cut it for the next gen though. Remember, Metal Gear Solid 4 required a full dual-layer BR.

Never got into the Hitman games. Not because they were too hard, but because they simply sucked.

That's what you get when you live in a frakking 3rd world country. Any decent modern society has job security to the point where firing someone for not working overtime would render them liable to pay compensation due to illegal termination of employment. If you happen to live in a such country and are tired of taking it up the arse then get organized, that's exactly what unions are for. Hmm, interesting take. Indeed, I see still a lot of movie directos and screenwriters in their late 70s, while I doubt you will see people the same age working as a texture artists or prop modeler in the game industry. I have done my share of art in the past myself (only self-interest) and I know how painstaking and laborious it can be to do grunt work, as opposed, to say level design, which I found (at least in the old UT/Quake 3 days) very rewarding and exciting. Well, the processes have changed a lot since then.

Sony won't invest as heavely in PS4

Maybe I should change my avatar to Orlando Bloom. Is that less outdated and ugly?

Perhaps we're both wrong. You have to consider the economical environment. By that time most countries could be broke and economical and political disaster would render any possibility for new consoles obsolete. Maybe MS, Sony etc don't exist in 2013 anymore. Just sayin'

Nobody at Sony and MS really gives a crap about Nintendo. I don't think Project Cafe will be that much more powerful than the current gen, so no worries. Besides, Sony just started to turn a profit last year or so hence they won't switch anytime fast.

Sorry, I can't stand old and ugly and outdated games anymore. My acceptance threshold is about 5 years. Everything that is older is unacceptable.

See? That's why the current gen won't disappear anytime soon.

I want the next-gen of console hardware to run at least in realtime.

The delay between where hardware specs are set and the actual release date are about 2 years. Remember, Project Cafe uses a graphics chip that was released in 2008. The current CPU architecture right now just isn't really that much better than say 4 years ago. Wanna replace a 3 ghz triple-core with a 3,6Ghz Quad-Core? Oh wow, big difference.

No. 2015. 2014 at the earliest.

Anyone else thinks Bioware should license CDProject's Witcher 2 engine? Because I want DA3 to look pretty this time.

It will not be called Wii2, and Sony/MS won't release **** in 2013. Mark my words.

Right now I have no enthusiasm to play anything. I'll wait for another patch or two before I advance with Witcher 2.

No MGS5 at E3, and no MGS4 for NGP

Rumor: Platinum Games has taken over development of MGS: Rising? (German)

Kojima Productions announces and announcement for E3
