E3 2011 Discussion

Anyone else paying attention to the news as it flows in?

So far the Xbox has Halo 4, Halo 1 Remake, and some Kinect stuff outted by their website.

Sony is getting hacked again I guess.

Nintendo is supposed to have a new console for us.


M$ conference begins in 15

[shadowgrin]

I'm hoping that Konami and Ubisoft will give great presentations like they did last year.

Apart from checking for anything news related to NBA 2K for the site, I'm not following anything particularly closely. If anything catches my eye in the NLSC's Twitter feed or someone posts something here I'll check it out.

Halo 1 getting remade for November. Halo 4, 5, 6 coming starting next year. Battlefield 3 Open Beta in September. Forza 4 looks amazing.

Those are my highlights so far.

Halo 1 getting remade for November.

For the low, low price of $40!

UbiSoft did alright, no laser tag or scary dance offs though.

Konami isn't having a conference, they did a taped thing last week that sucked.

Got distracted by classes today so havent seen much but nothing so far that I have to get.

about EA NBA SIM 2013 or w/e

5:30 - Delayed, next year, NBA understood, NBA Jam is more than filling the gap
7:50 - Fan question (surprisingly, not from me) asking if the FIFA/Madden impact engine will be in NBA 13. He didn't confirm but said they the look at the other EA franchises and look to incorperate what they do across all EA Sports games....so, yes? maybe? please?

[Andrew]

Good looking out.

PS3 wins for making Kobe show up. Hilarious.

Can't wait to see more from TES: Skyrim, Mass Effect 3 and Batman: AC. I also did not know that there was a Far Cry 3 being worked on, and hopefully there will be more footage from Dead Island, Bioshock: Infinite, Rage, Assassin's Creed: Revelations and Metro 2034. I guess it'll be interesting to see more greatness from Battlefield 3 as well, but I probably won't play it anyway if it's exclusively multiplayer.
All in all, it's a pretty badass E3 as far as PC gaming is concerned, couldn't give a fuck about the rest.

It's not, even though that's the best part. It has a single player mode that's supposed to be longer than BC2's.

1080p footage of the single player tank mission they showed at the EA conference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UwOrl036_A

Same for all the new tech: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pNOxynC1Dc

The old 12 minute single-player trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zw8SmsovJc

The short multiplayer footage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPu7-LtLKmU (Like BC2, the multiplayer and singleplayer will take place in the same locations.)

Good news then, should be worth it.

Here's one of the new trailers for Mass Effect 3:

I guess Metro 2034 is now officially called Metro: Last Light, and her's the first trailer (its predecessor, Metro 2033, was ridiculously overlooked):

New trailer from Dead Island:

And the first gameplay footage for Far Cry 3:

the new psp dubbed the PSVita can be had at the low low price of whatever the PS3 is sold at right now.

I've a feeling that ME3 is more inclined to a shooter than an RPG.

i watched in-game footage of Dead Island today and I am stoked. it reminds me a bit of Fallout 3
