What do you mean 'fans'?Everyonethinks that. Hell, I'm a pretty even-headed sports person, and even I think they're going to end up fourth in the division (though not anywhere near 1st overall draft pick).

Phil Spencer over at giantbomb.com , sounds like anything but Kinect and (for the moment) multi-disc games should be doable with Xbone/360 backwards compatibility.

FF9 is one of my favorite entries. Even I admit the battle speed is downright snail-paced*, and the Necron fight is out of nowhere. As everyone should know, 9 didn't even start off as a mainline FF game, it was just a nostalgia remix that got bumped up to full numeral status. Fans of FF9...

There was dick-all for the WiiU. Good. Whether you are a Nintendo fan or not, the sooner they stop supporting the Dead System Walking that is the Wii U and start working on NX games, the better for the company.

He looks likeMark Duplass - IMDbwith an enormous fake chin.

Aside from the PS4 $400 year, Ubisoft has bizarrely had it on lock for years. I am tempted to give it to Bethesda for Fallout 4 alone.

Nah, I liked 12 as well in its weird single-player MMO sense. The storyline though is garbage. "Brave hero finds out mystical beings have enslaved humanity, travels the world to collect artifacts to defeat them... until your party, pissed off that he rolled through your town for one of those...

Now that I think about it, the complete lack of Project Robot and Shield mentions in the Nintendo thing basically confirms they are smaller scale digital titles? I assume 2 out of the 4 Treehouse reveals?

Oh god, yet another Final Fantasy ranking thread. So just to add fire: I have no interest in this game. FF7 was a good but not great RPG that was worse than its predecessor in a number of ways (music (aside from One Winged Angel) in first place). Square wasting their time and money remaking...

Man, I hope that PC conference has something decent, because I literally can't think of my highlight of E3 so far. Edit: I guess the South Park sequel? Although Obsidian isn't involved, which was half of the appeal of the first one?

Well, at least they are still supporting the 3DS for another year, even if they are just weird offshoots of the main brands (Fire Emblem aside).

Rockstar doesn't do E3, they don't need/want to share the spotlight on any game announcements.

Just a reminder to everyone: There isn'tanE3. There arefourE3s. 1) The original purpose is the retailer E3. "Hey Target, this year's Call of Duty is great! You better order 10% more copies than last time!" 2) Then there's the stock market E3. "Hey Pachter, this year's Call of Duty is great...

Sigh, even Madden is pointing out GB has no CBs anymore...

As expected, they can't spend much time on Mass Effect, when the "sci-fi shooter" time needs to go to Battlefront.

My mother bought Pele's Soccer after the crash for $5. I never bothered to figure it out. This story is more entertaining than this press conference.

I had heard $120 for the Xbox controller, but yeah, Steam Controller it is (or stick with Xbox 360).

I know this is the internet and hyperbole reigns, but did you actually stay awake for EA 2014? The list of games that did not exist, but wouldn't it be cool if worked on them? The Sims' "He laughed so hard, he died!" The Battlefield Hardline pyrotechnics? Yeah, this is real bad, but it's got...

Now you know why they mentioned Battlefront upfront, so you wouldn't change the channel 20 mins ago.

I always go to giantbomb.com so I can listen to the guys livesnarking. Gamespot has "clean" feeds.

Sitting here at lunch thinking about it, the biggest surprise of MS' show was whatwasn'tthere, presumably because Sony will use them to cover up their lack of exclusives - no Call of Duty, no Star Wars Battlefront, no Assassin's Creed, no Batman, no Metal Gear Solid, etc.

That's my point, saying "Windows 10 Exclusive" instead of "Console Exclusive on Xbox" is not actually any additional support.

As far as the conference itself, it was a couple-years-off new IPs (Recore & the Pirate thing), it was the usual franchises (all of which look like they're up to their usual quality, but when don't they at E3), it was learning you can play old games (the Rare collection) and old games (360 games...

Did I miss something, or was MS' increased PC focus just admitting the games were coming out for PC, and not using weasely console-exclusive language?

Statistically speaking, all 360s have Red Ringed by now, so we'll let you play on your XB1. Hey, I get to pick between Steam Controller and this new version at least. Dammit, I need more than three seconds of Cuphead!

Considering that the book version of her is a weird, Asperger-y computer type that is revealedif anything goes wrong, no-emotion is likely the right vibe. And I'm sure they will cut some of the tech out, but it looks like NASA will be pointing the rover in the direction of yes/no notes, which...

Much like Edge of Tomorrow, the trailer finally got me off my ass to read the actual book. I thought the book was great (on the higher-end of Scalzi) and the trailer is pretty faithful (then again, virtually everything that was wrong with Interstellar was in the stuff they didn't keep from...

Gimme that Fallout 4. I also want to see Mass Effect 4, but wonder if they won't push it hard given the Star Wars they also have to promote. I wouldn't mind seeing the inevitable Far Cry 4 Blood Dragon equivalent. Didn't Darksiders get the HDer treatment recently? I wonder what Three will...

Internet scuttlebut suggests the codes that come with some versions of the game EXPIRE on Oct 31, implying the game is out in early Fall. Between Witcher 3, Fallout 4, Bloodborne, XCOM 2, & Pillars of Eternity (and have Persona 5 & Xenoblade been ruled out for the US?), this is a hell of a...

http://podcastone.com/pg/jsp/program...583&pid=500333, starting about 5 minutes in. One of the NFL's head schedulers all but admits that putting together lineups that will rate well (and bring in ad money) for all the broadcast partners is the #1 criteria of the schedule. And the Cowboys got...

Is there more to the story than "Obsidian gets $X more if it hits Y score, game doesn't quite hit Y score"? Because there's no corruption in that sentence.

The graphics aren't fantastic, but anyone that thinks they look like (unmodded) Fallout 3 is literally delusional. I still think Boston is a bad idea - too similar geographically and historically to D.C. - and still think prequels are almost always a bad idea, as we know where the story...

I was pretty indifferent to the early episodes, but the last 3 or 4 will make me sad if this is the end (and I assume it will be*). That history suggests that the inevitable (DVD) movie in a couple years will be completely awesome, as the show really does jump in quality when the people...

As for Banks, I would strongly suggest reading Player of Games and Use of Weapons before deciding on a verdict of reading the rest of his stuff. I'm also rather fond of Matter, Surface Detail, and Against a Dark Background, though the latter is both a microcosm of Banks' political views...

Spent too much free time plowing through Seveneves. My brief review is: "Eh."

I really need to reread Anathem. At first blush, I thought it was a forgettable mishmash of all of Stephenson's earlier works - a technological priesthood here, a universities-as-nuclear-waste-depositories there. It wasn't until I got to the goofy ending dealing withthat I wondered if that...

I rather liked Deepness, especially the concept ofbut Children is completely forgettable, imo. Scalzi's usually entertaining, even if Fuzzy Nation is about 70% copy-pasting The Android's Dream, but I would heavily advise you to skip Zoe's Tale. Was thinking about jumping into Stephenson's...

As one of the "pure logic, no charisma" crowd myself, I'm fine with him, though I can easily see how huge chunks of prospective audience wouldn't be. That said, he should never be doing live unscripted ad reads like on this week's episode. I get what the joke was supposed to be, but woof...

Just to go meta, I liked John Wick more than this. There wasn't a movie between John Wick and Max I liked more than Max though. (If Kingsman was 2 hours of fireworks/church-scene level insanity, then it would have been in the running.) That said, the writing of the ending was rather crap...

Sometimes, I wonder. I sit and I think "Could I become Itlan? Could I become so deranged by my team's brief moments of success that I lost all connection with reality?" Then I read the Patriots defenders in this thread and realize "Fuck no, you guys are nuts". You actually believe that a...
