E3 a bit underwhelming so far...

[thrtytwo]

Nothing unexpected so far. Just surprised how cheap the ngp is! Might get one now :D

[mod]

October 25 for BF3....sigh soo far away, still no info if playable on Steam

[1JZVL]

I do not care about "surprises"....All I know is BF3 looks fucking awesome.

I wouldn't mind knowing what spec computers they're using as well, in need of hardware update.

Also can't wait for Deus Ex, Mass Effect 3, Uncharted 3, Rage :)

[thrtytwo]

Yeh BF3 fucks all over MW3!

Also can't wait for UC3 and ME3

[Halle Terry]

pingpingpingping's are fucked.

Diablo 3 > all.

Oh yeah and this as well, how did I forget :(

But oh well. End of the year/beginning 2012 shall be great!

LOL.

CoD is fucking shit, even now BF:BC2 shits on it. Although I dunno what either of the games single player is like, as I only care for multiplayer (because that's what FPS games are about, just like the old BF & BF2 days....).

BF3 has taken a huge step and looks fucking amazing - by improving their already superior engine, why the f*ck would developers bother with that Activision piece of shit; being able to blow the shit out of a wall OR side of a building...even playing BC2 now still amazes me, especially if it's a match that's gone on for like 20-30mins, because the whole terrain has totally changed again...too much variety! :D

Play it right now. Such an excellent game. Maybe once every year or 2 I drag it out from the closet and get straight back into it.

[RELEASE]

HALO 4........FUK YES!!!!!!!!! :D

[Fukushima]

Fuck yes...

Released on the Tuesday (so the downloads will be enabled on Wednesday here in Australia) right before the Queens birthday long weekend.

So tempted to take an extra weeks leave in November (have the last two weeks off for Thailand)

Now how do I get beta access?

[YOUR MATE]

Forza 4 looks ok. Said fuck all about tracks/cars etc, though. Halo 4... Meh. Didn't he die? No fucks given.

BF3 and Diablo 3 I am keen as fuck to get into.

[thrtytwo]

Yeh fuck halo. I'm a hater. Just don't get it :/

[mod]

Now how do I get beta access?

Buy Medal of Honor "limited edition" or "Tier 1 edition" and register the key within 12 of the game released.

Only places to buy is online stores like game.co.uk or dodgy cdkey websites

Hardly worth it imo for 1 month worth of open beta, close beta which is happening now? thats a diff story.

[Fukushima]

12 what?

I don't really care... The 1 month, single map beta of Bad Company 2 was streaks ahead of any other game available at the time

[hostage_85]

I'm a huge halo fan. That will be awesome to see that. Plus Diablo 3 FTW. Just finished Diablo 2 again recently. :D

Sorry 12 months. MOH was released last year in october?

[SircatmaN]

They are making Halo 4? They said reach was the last one and that they weren't going to make any more halos for a long time.

Well, what other exclusive do they have?

They had no choice ;)

[thrtytwo]

A quick google search confirmed a new studio is making Halo 4 but some of the bungie staff has moved across to help with it.

Bioshock infinite looks awesome. Lots of good shit coming out but I'm still holding on for new console information! We have waited forever!

And Microsoft has lots of Exclusives, Gears of War off the top of my head. The only good exclusive sony has is GT and from what I have seen/heard it wasn't worth the wait.

Killzone is a pretty good exclusive franchise, KZ3 is currently touted as the best looking FPS available on consoles (Above HALO Reach)

Resistance may not be a HUGE franchise, but is pretty good and only gets better with each game. Number 3 is coming out

Infamous 2 is coming out, the first was a big (surprise) hit and the 2nd looks to follow suit

Uncharted 2 was one of the best looking games of this generation, had arguably the best narrative of any game of recent history and UC3 will be even better, again PS3 exclusive

GT5, while possibly not being worth the wait as you said, is still a solid driving sim and different, less arcadey, than most others out there

I could probably name a few more if I tried, but saying only microsoft has exclusives is either fanboy denial or you dont pay much attention to games

Er yeah, wait what?

Uncharted (1 & 2)..........off the top of my head.

Both got (not that it really matters BUT you should know this) - multiple "GOTY" awards. GT got fuck-all.

Meh to those games. But hey, thats why I have an Xbox, all the games that come to it are what I want. I went to buy a PS3 when I got my projector and at the time all that was on it that was any good that wasn't on Xbox was MGS4. Still havn't seen the value in buying a ps3 yet at the price and considering it can't be that long till the next gen come out.

I'm not trying to start a fight... most gen's I buy all the consoles but this gen most companies are going multi platform and prices aren't dropping to the usual range where I'd just splash the cash for no reason. Then again I have house and shit now so I guess my money isn't as expendable anymore :S

EDIT: On the topic did a search and seems like they both have a decent exclusive range:

good link! offers a pretty good list and article!

as far as PS3 value goes it used to be a lot more even, when the 360 had no wireless built in and to get a similar spec unit would cost you roughly he same

but since the 360 short came out it does have better value as a games console, but don't forget the ps3 is a 3D blu ray player

just from one site (eb aus) you can get a 160GB ps3 with 4 games for $498 or a 250GB with 2 games for $398

you could say 2 games makes the $100 difference less harsh, but then it still has a smaller HDD

a 160GB ps3 on its own is still $498 but the 250GB 360 on its own is listed at $449 :S

The 4GB xbox however is shit value, you dont save much money and you have no storage :S

So just from there it is easy to say which is better value, but I got a 320GB ps3 with GT5 for $449 (harvey norman) a while ago (stickered price, no haggling) which is arguably better value than the 360. so shop around and its not so one sided

[Halle Terry]

Why anyone on this forum would care about the price of a console/games is beyond me.

Everyone here spends hundreds of dollars on their cars all the time on a variety of shit, I can't see the outlay of $300-$400 whatever is an issue considering anything substantial for any car starts at that price.

Im getting a new 3d TV in the next few weeks and looking at buying top quality so I'm just going to go around and see who will throw in a ps3 for free, I'll have use for it as a 3d blue ray player. Up until now I just play blue ray from my PC over network on projector so it didn't really matter. I didn't have the money at the time but about 6 months ago sony had a bundle that was a 30something" 3d tv, ps3 and 2 3d ps3 games for around $2000. I remmeber it was really cheap at the time for the tv alone.

You musn't read before posting, I already mentioned that I have a mortgage etc. so $500 could goto alot of shit, and if your not really getting anything that great over what you already get on xbox its pointless.

[thrtytwo]

nice, they make really good blu ray players, before 3D came out it was rumoured the ps3 wouldn't be able to do it, would need new hardware, but then software update did it :)

supported HDMI 1.4 (i think thats the latest) after software update

So its always up to date

Also for simplicity you can set it up as a media server!

edit: make sure, if you end up getting a PS3 as a BR player, you get the BD remote. Using a game controller is shit

I run my 360 as a media server already :3 Figuring that out was awesome, up until then I was dragging my pc from room to room which sucked.

To be honest I didn't in this case, but crunch time at uni does that to me.

Either way, I see spending money on my car/buying clothes/going out/buying video games as all non-essential shit, frankly I'd choose spending money on video games over spending money on my car when I'm strapped for cash, purely because what I get back for my investment is the most logical choice.

It makes sense to me anyway, but then again I've been using Photoshop for the past 12 hours so my head is a bit funny.

Just ask for uni student discounts and you can afford anything

"new console" - lol.

Nintendo I am disappoint and it is nearly 2am :mad:

...although that Lego game looks interesting lol

Can not wait for the new Mario, Mario kart & luigis mansion 2 to come out on 3DS. Interesting decision on nintendo's part to introduce a new disc system for the WiiU @25gig size (equivalent to blu-ray?) but not running blu ray on the system....the third party line ups for the wiiU look good to.


PS vita IMHO pretty much blew away all the companies, on their pricing and release titles.

[thrtytwo]

FUCKING ROR at that gif

Wii U is fucking homo, the giant controller looks fucking gay. Its just gunna be like a massive DS on steroids where the bottom screen is not connected to the top. They really should of launched a new line of console, nothing to do with wii.

I read an article saying for multiplayer use, they expect only one of the giant dick screen controllers and everyone else to use wii nunchuck :S ??

(pretty sure Blu Ray is around the 50GB mark actually, and there is a special format of BR which is double that or 110GB)

PS Vita was already looking promising to me, but at that price point I will be seriously considering one, will wait til they release some more info on how it can interact with the PS3

edit: just googled it, yes blu rays are 25GB single layer, but 99% of blu ray discs are dual layer so 50GB
