It's E3 week

[Cortexian]

I'll probably play MoH Warfighter just to take names as JTF2 sadly. Will see what all they can actually do.

Autolog 2.0 aside, I'm still pumped as hell for Most Wanted's singleplayer. Running from the cops in a truck? Hell yes.

Did they just decide to showcase that new Splinter Cell crap at the last minute or something? "Oh yeah look at this"..."yep, coming out Sprint 2013, ttyl!". Wait, WTF, 4th Echelon? Sam Fisher sans Michael Ironside? Sam Fisher with fancy pants tech but young looking? GET YOUR ASS BACK OUT HERE AND EXPLAIN YOURSELVES!

Also, agreeing that H4 doesn't feel like a Halo game. Interesting still, but I get the feeling that this is 343i trying to get people to stop thinking of Bungie's Halo. Cold turkey.

Also also, is it just me or did the crowd seem to not give a flying fuck about the ESPN bullshit ("oh, is it time to clap again?")? I mean, I don't blame them. Fucking shit was one of the reasons XBL "needed" to cost 10$ more.

Ensemble is now broken into Robot Entertainment, Zynga Dallas, Windstorm Studios, and Zynga With Friends. None of which appear to be doing much on the large scale.

Funny thing is, Robot has the rights to use the engine still. Not sure if Bonfire retained/gained those rights and/or kept them when they were bought by Zynga.

Robot's CEO was interviewed in one of the recent GI issues. He mentioned how Robot is about creating smaller scale games. They're not trying to relive the 3-year game development cycles of the Ensemble days.

"Our game is best. Now listen to me talk in a very fake enthusiastic voice as I read my lines and try to make shitty jokes."

"Did I mention we're innovating and our game is best? Because our game is best game, our graphix are best graphix, buy game, coming out [insert date here]."

-E3 in a nutshell

[Pooky]

Anyone else bothered by the fact that Microsoft claims that Call of Duty started out on the XBOX?

Wait, did they really say that?

Wait, did they really say that?

No. I was going to check earlier and edit my post, but I forgot it. I just went back and checked and he said this: "A game that's found its home on XBOX." So that was my bad, but still, he disregards that there were two CoD games that were firmly established on PC before XBOX even got a taste of CoD. The biggest community for an FPS was CoD's at that time, still. Well, I guess it has had a new home now for a while.

Frag Dolls teaser in the end of the Watch Dogs game play demo:


And the Frag Dolls retweeted me about it when I posted:

Really excited for Splinter Cell: Blacklist, Watch Dogs, and of course; Assassin's Creed 3.

So when are you gonna be able to meet them?

When I saw Sam Fisher wearing his signature costume I had my hopes up.

Then I saw a shot of him taking over holding an unsilenced AK and gave up hope.

Looks like Splinter Cell really has lost its character.
