    Resident Evil 5 looks awesome, hope it's not based on 4 AT ALL.

    If you mean gameplay, well then you will be disappointed. It is very much in the same style of gameplay.

    If you mean story, from my understanding it is going to be more a continuation of the story from Code Veronica, delving deeper into the origins of the T-Virus. Not about mindcontroled bug cultists.

    yeah rage was not prerendered, all ingame. we also don't have any kind of cinematic assets or anything like that all of this is in the engine and running realtime.

    That's completely nuts dude.

    I'm not even sure if more cowbell would make it better.

    Or was the Nintendo E3 section the biggest let down of any media show ever...? I mean, what the fuck did I just watch?

    Somebody give me back my time...

    ...some might say you saw Nintendo: E3 2007...but what you actually saw was Nintendo: E3 2008.

    You gotta be kidding - if you played the previous ones you can tell that Bethesda is taking a voracious dump on the entire series. Guess that's one man's opinion, though.


    fallout just had a really shitty presentation. They made the game look incredibly easy and thereby boring because they had all the weapons (ever heard of letting the gamer discover the cool shit instead of spoiling it beforehand and making it look as ordinary as a pistol.) and not only that but they had some cheats or something on where super gore was enabled. Why should this be in your first presentation of gameplay?? Laslty, they just had the player wander around and encounter enemies that had nothing to do with eachother that were just hanging around in the middle of nowhere, and were defeated basically by the presenter clicking a button and telling the character to shoot em in the head. They made it look so easy and boring... Who designed that presentation? Horrible. Im sure the game is better cause I cant imagine it sucking THAT bad.

    yah aesir, I'm not exactly sure the flower gameplay will beat their other titles, but it's still more interesting to me than most of the other games being discussed. It certainly is pretty...

    Found another gameplay vid... still on the fence about it. What they've shown so far is pretty simple, I'd really like to see it with the same amount of depth that flow had. Fingers crossed.

    rage... i hearts it!
    apparently its a franchise?
    i coulda sworn i heard mr. carmack [i think thats his name?] say 'rage franchise' when tlaking about the ea partnership...
    does that imply trilogy? =D

    oh and btw,
    doom 4 on id tech 5 is what i REALLY can't wait for.. sorry but doom = too awesome. i care about it almost as much as i care about Gears of War 2 =D

    final fantasy 13 was fun news. i got to throw it around to all my ps3 fanboy friends who were all 'ps3 is better cuz it has ff 13'

    i hated the over-casualness of MS' conference. and i dont like the new interface _that_ much. its better than the old dashboard. but it could be better i feel

    watchin the gamespot live feed right now.
    hopin for sommin awesome!

    I think you're trying to dissect his words a bit too much. By "rage franchise" he means the entire concept of the rage property and game. Nothing he said indicates a sequel.

    Don't know how I missed that one....that is very fresh! Thanks Aesir and Ferg

    As for a Rage sequel, I'm quite certain I read an Id interview where a sequel was desired (if not implied).
  • bounchfx
    wow @ how bad the Sony and Nintendo conferences were.. color me extremely disappointed..

    except Little Big Planet looks like fucking GOD. and Resistance 2 was very impressive as well, I really need to go and play through the first.. wasn't too big a fan of the demo though.

    I haven't seen the Left 4 Dead stuff yet but I'm really looking forward to that. Oh man.

    My #1 E308 news so far is BY FAR the RB2 setlist and announcements. RB>me

    Rage: Looks very consistant, very slick, though no gameplay and hopefully it's more then shooting. I'd give my best friends right arm to work on it(I need my arms to work)

    Sony: At least they didn't headline with Killzone again, but really a in game sequence of GoW 3 would have saved it.

    RE 5: slick.

    I am Alive: Awesome premise, sick of pre rendered crap.
  • indian_boy
    lookin at id's normally 'path'

    i think they've got sequels for almost every fps they ever made?

    so w00t for rage! i cant wait for rage 4!

    on a more serious note
    if u've watched the gamespot live show, did anybody else think infamous was a bit too shitty a game to be broadcasted as 'omg its effin awesome and only the ps3 is good nuff for it' ?
    it seemed okay. fun for a few hours. then u kinda let it collect dust

    my personal opinion about it

    oh boy fallout 3 is bein shown...
    i hope THIS demo is nicer than the other ones [but i doubt it.]

    Have you played all those sequels? If so, you'd know that they aren't really related. Quake 2 has nothing to do with Quake 1 and Quake 3 has nothing to do with either. Quake4 and Return to Castle Wolfenstein were developed by other studios, so those don't really count either. IMO, the only property that id has developed into what really plays like a sequel is Doom, and we had to go a decade between releases there...
  • indian_boy
    woah wait. i sense hate commin at me.

    by sequel, i simply mean more 'parts' under the same name.
    i have indeed played em. and i know Q1 and Q2 and Q3 are of little to no relation etc etc

    and vahl, yea i know.. i was complimenting id. i guess it didnt seem obvious enough, but i was actually tryna point out that seeing their history of successes, we can probably expect this to be another huge series of games.

    apologies to anybody i offended or anything.

    copy and pasted from a post on cgtalk.

    "Fat Princess! (best name for a game ever)

    This game just became my most anticipated PSN game. I can't stop laughing at the premise.

    Frantic and fun, Fat Princess pits two hordes of players against each other in comic medieval battle royale. Your goal is to rescue your beloved princess from the enemy dungeon. There’s a catch though: your adversary has been stuffing her with food to fatten her up and it’s going to take most of your army working together to carry her back across the battlefield.

    You can switch between five different character classes literally at the drop of a hat: the fearless Warrior, the steadfast Archer, the mystical Mage, the tireless Worker, and the deadly Priest. In order to triumph, players must combine their skills and work together. The name of the game is cooperation, whether it’s helping another player drag a log back to your castle, manning a battering ram to smash through the enemy’s front gate, or building a human pyramid to scramble over the walls.


    • You can choose Classes: Warrior, Archer, Mage, Worker, Priest (you can customize looks)
    • You can gather Resources. You use it to Upgrade things like your Weapons and Fort.
    • 32 players Online. The game is also playable offline.
    • The Goal is to rescue back your princess from the opposing teams fort. Since the opponents has stuffed her so fat though you will need a lot of men to carry her back.
    • 10 Maps and additional game modes as well.

    Right on Cojax! Dead Space is currently taking all of the cakes. Kudos Redwood! It's like a cross between Event Horizon and RE 4, and you can't go wrong with that kind of combination!

    I am such a fanboy over this game I had to come back and post this other trailer because it is also full of awesome!

    I should have compared this to the great and massively underrated System Shock games, as these games all share some common ground. Here's hoping.

    OH yeah, and LEFT 4 Dead comes in at a very close second place for most anticipated game.

    hahahaha gotta love penny arcade! There are no words to describe how disappointing that Nintendo conference was :(. Only thing looks good is pretty much The Conduit which wont be out till probably this time next year or later, which is good because it will only get that much better.

    At least Microsoft's showing looks very strong, Gears and Fable look awesome. I'll have to wait to see more of Rage, the gfx look awesome, but gameplay, nothing was shown. Mirror's Edge just looks boring, I dont really "get it" I guess, maybe once it comes out I will see what all the fuss is about. And man, FF13 for the 360 is insane @_@.

    I am really sick of this trend where companies will announce a game with what they think is a flashy and slick trailer, but then reveal nothing about gameplay, or nothing which would differentiate their stupid game from the 87 other dark first person shooters that were announced this E3. Like, OOH ITS A DARK GAME WHERE I SHOOT I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE WHERE CAN I BUY IT.

We were suppossed to be in the opening Microsoft talk, but they said they need to make room for some heavy chick dancing, soooooo we didn't get in like promised.

    yeah i've been hearing there was going to be a rts halo since the release of halo 2 but it looks sweet i like starcraft and warcraft so i want to see how this gameplay is going to differ and i wonder if the master chief is going to be like the ghost on starcraft he leads a platoon in a base but he can go in the base itself and destroy it from the inside out and is this going to be set in the past since the master chief we play in the halo game is supposed to be the last of his kind or are there other planets that earthlings don't know about that house other ones.

    I have to agree. Even since the Quake1 days, I've never played Quake for the singleplayer game. That isn't to say that I don't appreciate single player fps games, however, there is something greater in multiplayer games, even if it is a story driven co-op experience.

    I too am eagerly awaiting the next Arena that Id (hopefully) will release. When I heard about Doom 4, I kinda thought (meh, not another one). I just enjoyed Quake 3 Arena SO much that I wouldn't mind another version someday up the road. I know I'll be playing Quake Live as fervently as I play the boxed version of Q3A. There was just something about Q3A's design...that was solid, through and through...from the physics and feel...to the (official) map layouts and highly visible items and weapon variety, that just made the game a staple for competitive online play, imo.
