Listen to those five people in the audience who still care about TESO.

I'm guessing "Prey" is too generic a term to trademark, so they're probably in the clear.

Friendly reminder: we're ~5 minutes out from Bethesda's conference.

Well, overall, that was an aggressively mediocre press conference. Shouldn't be hard for everyone else to beat them; even Nintendo has a chance to put out something more compelling.

Ah, Jamie Fox and Zach Efron, those great Battlefield players.

So...they're not going to show any actual footage of the new Star Wars games, are they?

Christ, Brits and their soccer. This fucker needs to calm down.

Yeah, keeping the clips *just* short enough that you can't get a sense of the actual gameplay.

So instead of pro athletes, they're now bringing out e-sports players to talk about the sports titles? Things have come a weird sort of full circle.

EA's started.

Watch Dogs 2 has been officially announced. New character, set in the Bay Area, etc, etc. The first was flawed, but I still got some enjoyment out of it, so it'll be interesting to see if they can get their shit together all the way for this one. They're saying the right things, so I have...

5'11", 160 lbs. Weight used to sit at about 175 lbs before I started exercising on the regular.

Pretty much my issue. In First Class, they at least tried to make Beast look, well, beastly. In Apocalypse they just paint him blue and slap some fake eyebrows on him.

Just saw it. Wasn't a bad movie, "decidedly average" would probably be the best label. While there were things that could've been done better, the only thing that seriously annoyed me was fucking Beast. Could they have phoned it in any harder when it came to his makeup and effects? Especially...

Heh. Just realized that when I rattled off those numbers, I was basing it off the gap of time between Oblivion and Skyrim, without taking Fallout 3 into account. So yeah, we actually are about due for the next Elder Scrolls game; I'd still bet on it being next year, but an announcement this year...

Well, Fallout came out last year, so based on Bethesda's track record, we're probably 2?4 years out from the next Elder Scrolls. However, I believe Bethesda's said that they've been expanding their dev team, so assuming that that's sped things up, I'll give it the *smallest* chance that we'll...

I'd completely forgotten about the RDR 2 rumor, hopefully that pans out. Mount and Blade 2 is also supposed to put in an appearance, if I'm remembering correctly, hopefully with a release date. I'm also hoping we'll see more of Wild, but I wouldn't be shocked if they hold off on that one until...

We're about a week out now, so this seemed like a decent time to make a thread for it. To start, here's the schedule for the conferences (all times PST): EA: June 12, 1 pm Bethesda: June 12, 7 pm Microsoft: June 13, 9:30 am PC Gaming: June 13, 12 pm Ubisoft: June 13, 1 pm Sony: June 13...

They also disintegrate quickly if you kill the general. When fighting vamps, always focus fire the general.

Barring Daybreak burning to the ground, it's practically guaranteed that they'll make another go at EQ3 eventually, but this soon? Doesn't seem likely.

This is certainly one of my pet peeves nowadays. I'm a proponent of having a sense of story in MMOs-having your actions feel like more than just grinding mobs to make numbers bigger-but simply shoving the story of a single player game into an MMO is objectively Doing It Wrong. Even putting aside...

Finally got to see this, and damn this was a good movie. They're juggling a dozen fucking superheroes at this point, and still managed to give everyone their time to shine. New Spider Man was the perfect mix of nerdy and quippy (Garfield never really pulled off "nerd", and Toby couldn't quip his...

If they wanted the movie to truly reflect the games, like 60% of it would be Fassbender collecting chests. With another 30% being collecting feathers and shit.

Yeah, the trailer music was bad, but the movie itself at least seems to have potential.

Hopefully this'll encourage them to make some proper Marvel games, now that "just make some new figures" isn't an option. The fact that the only Marvel games we've been getting are phone games, Lego games, and toys for Disney Infinity is fucking annoying. Especially when DC's knocked it out of...

Yeah, you had to mine some copper, but it was never terribly excessive. That said, they did eventually drop it, and instead made it so that you just had to log in to restart the countdown timer on your build popping.

Never was a sub, just a one-time purchase. Granted, the alpha-access bundles were pricey, but even with EQN crashing and burning, I don't particularly regret dropping $20 for the beta package.

Ah. The only roles of his that I really know him from are Sherlock and Smaug, so I'd never heard him without the British accent. Plus, with a name like "Benedict Cumberbatch," don't you just kinda assume he'd be physically incapable of speaking anything but the Queen's English?

Is Cumberbatch doing an American accent? That'll be weird. They're definitely going trippy with the visuals. I know jack shit about Dr Strange, so I have no clue if that's in keeping with the source material, but if nothing else it seems like it ought to provide a decent visual distinction...

Gif of gravity's effect on the flow of time? Neat, but I does it have any sort of context? Or is it just there to look cool?

It looks like they're actually going to just be giving away the Bretonnians for free. Granted, they haven't specifically said it's the Brets yet, but they have said there will be a faction given away as free DLC, and the list of other potential candidates is essentially zero, so I'm feeling...

I think I had one place I ran through enough in DS2 to cause enemies to stop spawning; I believe it was the hallway leading to Vendrick. Even with the giant souls, I beat my head against that particular wall a lot before I was able to finally beat him.

You know, looking at that dialogue snippet, I don't so much have trouble with the tranny thing as with the explanation of the name. "Name made by putting together syllables from different languages that all have special meaning to me"? That's the most loving-the-smell-of-your-own-farts...

I feel obliged to ask, was I the only one that actually kinda liked the EQN lore? It had enough callbacks to the original lore that it still felt like Norrath to me, but it felt like it all actually hung together in a better way than the original EQ (especially with where the lore is at now). If...

Just got back from seeing it. It was okay; not spectacular, but not nearly as bad as I was fearing based on the reviews. Really, while I have some minor complaints, there were only three major ones: -Showing Doomsday in the fucking trailer was pants-on-head retarded. -The way they went with...

I hope he's right that we haven't seen the last of MMOs trying to use that kind of AI. Voxels and most of the other features listed for EQN sounded like gimmicks-ones that could be fun if done right, but gimmicks nonetheless. The AI, if done right, I think could've legitimately been something...

Honestly, EQN seemed like it was on the right track for making a successful MMO, if only because they were trying to do something significantly different from other MMOs. Maybe if they had been more focused with what they tried to do differently, they could have pulled it off and actually...

Pity. Even with the way everything went down, I was still super on board with the ideas they had pitched to us. Oh well, maybe one of these days we'll see someone else take a stab at doing StoryBricks-style AI, and actually pull it off.

If anyone's interested, here's a slightly different version of that demo where you can actually make out the audio.

That's true as far as it goes, but it's more a debate about whether ancient Egyptians were black or middle eastern, I'm pretty sure Norse wasn't one of the considered options; hence the weirdness about casting Jaime Lannister as Ra. Really, if they'd just cast a bunch of Mediterranean-looking...
