I went through you're compare list a while ago. I compare with everyone on my friends list at some point. I like to compare to see what they've done and what I've not. Same with leaderboards.

Anyway, that post was friendly, slightly jokey. I wasn't trying to be a smart ass or anything. I can't be anything other than nice :wavesad:.

Dude chill, we all have problems. I like to go through people's friendslist.

Still don't know why.

Also, Sonic Adventure poised for PSN as well.

Not gonna bother going through the last couple of pages going through quotes, but I'll just sum up this shit:

1. I am awesome. My taste in games is awesome. The end.

2. Vanquish looks... interesting. Will have to get a demo before I even remotely think about buying. The dude doing this has some great shit under his belt, but also a few turds.

3. I dunno, I forgot where I was going with this.

Dumbass parent thinks that an educational PC Math game makes kids violent or promotes violence. The game itself was funded by the government and the school itself uses it to help students learn math.

So Albuquerque's a real place?

The outspoken Tomonobu Itagaki and his post-Tecmo team Valhalla Game Studios will reveal what they've been working on at E3. It'll be interesting to see which conference he'll present (most likely Microsoft based on Itagaki's respect for the XB360). He considers this new project his fifth all new project (after DOA, Ninja Gaiden, Beach Volleyball, and Dragon Sword). Four of those five were critically acclaimed.

The in-game models look too much like GH's. I have... mixed feelings about this. I though at first that this was another contender who was missing the point, until I read that there are mechanics that still had the input operate like the plastic guitars we know (so long as you got the root note correct).

The drum controller looks good but it's actually motion controlled and as such fail.

The other franchise's toys will work with this game.

Full band play.

The note scrolls vertically rather than 'toward you'. This was ill received when Rock Revolution did and I can't imagine why these guys would miss that.

Notice the join icon on the upper-left of the last pic.

A trailer for a new Mortal Kombat has surfaced. No idea if it's a film or a game.

Source.

I'm not a big MK fan but I really enjoyed that trailer, whatever it's for.

Like Hell Ed Boon had anything to do with this.

Fuckin A. Ballsy reboot that goes universes away from what I'd expect, but damn if it isn't interesting. I'm thinking it's a new game. It's high quality but not theatrical quality. Could make for a web series, though.

If you pause at the right time, towards the end, you see Sub-Zero:

Wow, really liking this. For whatever reason i thought it was Kano he was talking to the entire time...didnt realize it was Scorpion.

Wonder what the take is on Sub-Zero

EDIT: you beat me to it! Also, not sure thats much of a spoiler.

I like to play it safe.

An update on that MK video.

So not a game or a film. If WB likes it, we could see it as a film, eventually.

Edit: Here is a bit more of what she said.

Source.

Anyone play Split Second? I played the demo at Best Buy the other day and I really liked it for some reason. Plus, it's only 40$

Back to the Future has a new game coming out this year.

Source.

I had an eye on it since it's debut trailer and enjoyed the demo. I'll pick it up eventually but it's not a game I can't wait for.

That's one hell of a pitch. Wonder how WB will react (totally knew Ed Boon had nothing to do with this).

im actually pretty interested in that game...it seems like it can really teach you

I'd very much like to see its Expert setting.

yeah, im curious how they go about teaching you the chords, but they seem like they have the right idea. Ive always wanted to learn but never got around to it, and instead started learning piano.

Huh?

How is this different from Rock Band?

actual guitar, the notes are triggered by chords and actual strumming of certain strings.

and that kid keeps getting thrown around.

New MK game is happening in 2011 though

http://www.destructoid.com/brand-new...11-176002.phtm

Fucking Ed Boon...

Beat me to it.

Anymore details on that game other than the trailer? E3 will probably be the time we find out more info, I guess.

Just the cover pic. People are saying it's an action game.

"Lightning Bolt Action" would probably confirm that.

Aha.

An E3 virtual map has revealed Tecmo has Dead or Alive 5 behind the curtain.

Valhalla Studio's first game (for THQ?!):

Action... Shooter? Need more info, hard to peg what this game is going for.

ION (creators of that badass premium drum controller for RB2 years back) have a new controller that meshes console and PC sensibilities:

http://bulk2.destructoid.com/ul/176098-/2_1-noscale.jpg
http://bulk2.destructoid.com/ul/176098-/3_1-noscale.jpg

They say it was made for FPS and MMO applications, which would have been great two generations ago when those genres really suffered on consoles. But now, ironically, this controller would be awkward for today's FPS at least (they currently use the analog triggers, for instance). It may work will with MMOs provided developers take the controller into account. And though they didn't mention it, I suspect it'd work well with RTS games as well.

Really odd thinking Jaguar's controller design was ahead of it's time in some way, as well as arcade ball control (yeah I know that's mouse control).

How would that even be comfortable and practical to hold and use?

I expect it to be much harder than that, but I love how you can 'feel' ArkSys all over the presentation.

New Xbox 360 model. 250gigs.

Project Natal is officially renamed 'Kinect'.

Kinect games revealed:

•Kinectimals lets you train and play with 20 different virtual cats, including a lion, cheetah and tiger. (LOL wtf?)

•Joyride, a racing game, lets players use their hands to hold an imaginary steering wheel — pull your hands toward you and push back out for an acceleration boost — and their bodies to execute jumps and tricks. (Ugh)

•Kinect Sports has six activities including boxing, bowling, beach volleyball, track and field, soccer and table tennis. To serve a volleyball, you mimic the real motion; in soccer, you can kick the ball or do a header. (Wii Sports 360)

•Kinect Adventures includes a river-raft time trial and obstacle course, playable by up to four players. On the raft, playing as a duo, you and a partner must lean one way or another to steer. Jumping helps the raft reach special areas for extra points. (Lame)

•Dance Central, in development by MTV Games, brings a So You Think You Can Dance experience home. (LOL)

•Star Wars characters and iconic Disney favorites will be featured in separate new games being developed at Microsoft in conjunction with LucasArts and Disney.

Built-in WiFi.

I guess if mine ever E74s or red rings, I'ma get one of those and trade in the wifi adapter.

NCAA 11 demo out now.

Couldn't decide if this belonged more in the E3 thread but Gamestop already has the pricing for Kinect and the launch title games. Kinect set to be sold for $149.99 while Kinect games set to be sold for $59.99 each.

Still only a rumor until Microsoft announces the actual prices.

http://kotaku.com/5563233/gamestop-p...kinect-bundles

lol fail.

Yeah, those are the prices.

Don't get me wrong, I'd drop 60 bones for some shit like Milo any day of the week. But fuck if I'm dropping $60 on a racing game that was supposed to be a free download. For that kind of cash, you're giving me Burnut Paradise or Forza 3, not a fucking Avatar racer or Wii Sports 360.

I previously called this a pompous endeavor, but now I see they're doing almost exactly what I think a remake of GoldenEye should do, I'm slightly turned. Good show.

I see Oddjob is in the game as well. Won't take too long before the "No Oddjob" rule goes back into effect.

New 360 model available this weekend.

Search function coming to Netflix XBL. A small thing, but very helpful.

Fuck Kinect or Natal or whatever the fuck it is now.

Until I get a used one on ebay or some shit.

nice

Not to be a downer, but I kept thinking about Two Worlds the whole time I watched that. So sad.

Kojima's not done:

http://bulk2.destructoid.com/ul/176515-mysterygame.jpg

What could it be?

Show off the 3DS MGS?

That would be cool but looking at the games in the pic it seems to show Konami's 'pillars'. What's a major franchise from the company?

ZONE OF THE ENDERS.

I can dream :'(

Peace walker

I'm sorry, people. I... I'm swamped. I haven't even touched the surface of content coming out. The pace is crazy. I gotta go eat something. When I return I'll try to grab some clean YouTube vids and more reveals, as well as see what went on with Activision.

Sheesh

Worse than someone who posts news is someone who adds absolutlely nothing and makes fun of the guy posting news.

You don't post news, so no, he didn't just do that.

I add content and don't make fun Kalyx.

... often

Ugh I need to finish the first one. Have been stuck for like 8 months.

So what is everyone's opinion on the new "motion control" devices showed today?

Seems like fail right now, but later on when the newness wears off (ie the price drops) I'll probably pick up some of the better offerings on the cheap.

Move > Kinect, if I had to choose. Sorcery looks fun. The new Zelda looks awesome for similar reasons.

1:1 control and actually holding something.

Kinect chatting and the interface looks cool, but not over 100$ cool. To be honest the best app was that Harmonix dancing game, and SKITTLES!

Explain 1:1 control to me and why Natal can't do that

And Natal doesn't do this?

Natal has 1:1 control, but not as quickly as Wii/Move does it. Natal is completely unsuitable for something like Sorcery or Zelda SS, hence why they're not even trying that seriously. And the 'Kinect' games that come close to those examples look like a joke. Why am I actually explaining this, did you see the damn thing?

I stand by my statements.

Kinect can't even read flips of the wrist far as I see. Just broad physical movements.

The thing should have it's own processor, then it wouldn't be so bad.

It may have been corporate fraternity jabs, but 98% of what Sony said about Kinect was true.

Oh, balls, I might actually have to buy that.

It probably will be $150 or something, but fuck it.

There is a Saint's Row 3, but it will be revealed in Dec. for some reason.

Former rap star Ice T is confirmed as having a role in Gears 3, as well as current rap star Drake. Who would of thought a shooting game role would be the outcome?

Developers want his name beside an X like Malcolm.

Kid's a genius.

Yeah, it's disgusting how sick he is. Not to mention he can sorta sing too.

Ok so are PS3's worth buying?
I currrently only use my 360 and the Wii/DS on the rare occasion.

Are there any major games which are just awesome and worth buying a PS3 for?
