Wow, now that is crowd noise.

lolwut? At best, the B-team (the DS/3DS guys) went into full production on it when the 3DS game was finished a couple months ago. The A-team was stuck with Versus and then sidetracked with whichever FF was most on fire at the time. It might be out in 2015. Might.

Huh, Adam Boyes. Thought it might be Shane Bettenhausen doing the indies.

I may already be dreading the new "all performance capture, all the time" era.

Hey, at least it has a different art style.

What is with the two tone look this year?

Bleh, does she really need to be a military assassin in Beyond? And can we just assume Jamal is the ghost?

Looks like gamespot.com shit itself. And yeah, if you want anyone to care at all about Vita talk, you have to do it first before they start writing the PS4 articles in their heads.

Sony is notorious for not starting on time. Not even another gen has fixed that.

Yeah, you could easily make the argument that this gen, RPGs went from a genre to a seasoning in other genres; next gen, online worlds do the same.

That's my larger point. I was sitting here trying to come up with a Top Five of 2013 List that isn't "GTA V / Last of Us / Bioshock Infinite / Super Mario Universe / Fire Emblem (?)" and I'm not coming up with a whole lot of new candidates.

Honest question here: What, if anything, is coming out this year that we didn't already know about, across all the publishers?

Zombi U the MMO?

Also, in reality they are all running on PCs at this point; no one wants the publicity of "One/PS4 games look like shit compared to what we saw at E3".

Predictable "I'd be after Aisha's booty!" jokes go here?

Aisha Tyler was fine last year, the script sucked and the other guy (Tobuscus?) sucked total balls. I would guess she wrote/improv-ed her own script this time; she's including way too many buzz words though.

Ubi leaning into the punch with the girlwood.

They've basically started from scratch twice, so this is the third game they've made in that time. A more strategic Mass Effect 2 isn't a terrible concept.

Bleh, bad day to be busy at work, only catching up with conferences now. MS: That was the solid wall of games I was expecting. But to be honest, I was expecting more One only games, not One/PS4 or One/360. The market has changed, you just can't afford to make games on new consoles with no...

Even this week's 8-4 podcast had a mention of "Crazy Buttocks said it, I assume it is true". I can't quite decipher that Sony line though. It seems like "No paywall for online play, but not confirmed", but could also be "Despite rumors, no solid information either way". Note: I coulda...

NM, the conversation should have been in the book thread.

Err, what in God's name are you talking about? Aside from the much shorter call-in, MS' policies are those of Steam or better. About the only point you can complain about, vs. Steam, is the difficulty for indie games to show up on the platform. Let's be clear here: Steam gets away with a lot...

Err, yes, the widely reported rumors were that Versus was turned into FF15, a PS4 exclusive. (Like, Sony staff pitched in to work on the thing.) I'm not sure how what we've seen of Versus really works with what we've seen of Agni's though.

The military. To a lesser extent, people off at vacation homes, depending on how cell phone tethering works. (I imagine there are some people that can't afford internet yet somehow have the console (given the system as a gift, or severe drop in income in the interim (unemployment, or off to...

Because personally he's a massive twat, and professionally he's now middle of the road, at best? (Admittedly, all he's had going for him is good RBs.)

To be perfectly honest, I'd much rather have the ability for all 14 guildies that are currently on to be in one raid than to have Tempest Keep turn into a 25-man current difficulty raid (and knowing Blizz, killing my ability to solo the old TK for Ashes). I just don't know if I would be...

You can't possibly be claiming that all of us are overly emotional about it, and that said emotion is the only issue. I'll put it in the least emotional terms possible: All I gain out of these policies is the ability to download a disc-based game I've bought even if I've lost the disc, and...

The Xbox Defense Force answer would be that Steam's restrictions are just as bad, if not worse, on many of these points. I'd point out that Steam's minimum heartbeat goes for a hell of a lot longer and assume the game prices still drop much faster on Steam.

I can see it being used; but other than 11+ member family guilds that somehow haven't already fallen apart, I can't see anyone being excited about this. And yeah, a mentally challenged 25 man LFR, an easier than current normal flexraid, and a challenging heroic flexraid does seem to be what...

Just so we're clear, downclocks happen all the time to fix yield issues; as systems have become multicore, assuming not all the cores work has become common as well (the PS3 only assumes 8 out of 9 Cells work, and even the PS4 I believe assumes only 18 out of 20 compute units work). The issue...

I thought the CG additions didn't mesh very well. Felt like they stole Archer's Season 3 vehicle modeler. I also thought it was weird that they apparently slightly rejiggered the timeline of the season, moving the Halloween episode into the commercial break. Nothing between episode 1 and...

In some ways, that's abadthing. Every team that's working on Last of Us, or Puppeteer, or Beyond, or GT6... isn't working on PS4 games. It's a lesser case of why the WiiU has struggled - they had too many teams working on stuff for other systems for far too long. Hell, if we want to get into...

Err, I am fuzzy myself. I thought it was: Book Version- She's drinking something that she thought helps fertility, but in reality keeps her sterile (I believe Tywin is behind the plot). The description of "her" given in a later book has wider hips than before, leading many to think she...

Again, it doesn't matter if the file is on a disc or on your hard drive. Original Xbox to 360 was x86 to PowerPC. To get BC, they had to basically recompile them on a game by game basis, it worked for crap, and they only got through a couple dozen before they gave up. 360 to Xbone is...

Honest question, what do you guys think the odds are of Rivers being in the league a year from now? I think it's likely the Chargers go with a new QB next Fall, so what are the odds Marmalad gets a backup job somewhere else? I just don't see it. Edit: As to the article itself, I think it...

http://www.hitfix.com/whats-alan-wat...l-for-season-2 Not too much of a surprise it gets another season somewhere, as the US rights are so cheap there was chatter they could move it to Syfy, but a bit of a surprise NBC kept it. (As it is, NBC has a couple shows that don't even have homes on...

Err, the ancient timeline isn't true. I'm not talking about that. Semi-recently (last couple years) Blizz said that they were aiming for 100 as the end point; Blizz has all but announced Burning Legion is 6.0 (the 5.3 legendary quest line flat out says "You're fighting the Burning Legion...

I wonder what, if anything, this does to WoW. They seemed to have a nice timeline set up with Burning Legion at 95 and the Old Gods / Titans to wrap everything up at an even 100; who knows if/what they pad in between/after.

1) Yeah, Garnett, Chris Kohler over at Wired, and even Marcus seem like they've all lost weight / put on muscle over the last few years. Not sure if this is a sign that even the games media is turning into photogenic people only. (Long live the fat bastards at Giantbomb.com!) 2) Yeah, that's...

Technically speaking, PCs with more, lower speed cores are what the industry will move to, just from cooling and power consumption standpoints; better integrated video will eat into the low end graphics card sales. That those statements apply to the traditional gaming market that buys "real...
