Ah yes. The PC is obviously next gen. Completely forgot that again lol Hopefully Rockstar does a better job this time.

But I swear I can recall you saying you had high hopes for Beyond after youtubing HR and liking it quite a bit. So I suspect the latest footage turned you off?
Maybe I'm just remembering it wrong xD

I watched someone play Heavy Rain a few months ago on Twitch and very much enjoyed it (mostly due to the streamer's personality and the unfiltered Twitch chat).

I have great interest in watching someone else play Beyond Two Souls, but I will not play it. I bought Heavy Rain day 1 and never bothered to play past the first few hours.

NDA? Nope. Just an embargo, as far as I know.

Either way: tomorrow, with everyone else.

He used a smiley face!

I know what that meaaaaaans.

Spoiler

I'll stop now

 

[antitrop]

This probably has an online pass.

WTF is an online pass?

Have to pay money to play multiplayer if you rent the game or something?

Not a big deal if you do. I don't really care that much.

 

[SolidSnakex]

I asked my parents for that game for Christmas in 1998. If it wasn't for the fact that I also asked for StarCraft and Rainbow Six that would have been one terrible fucking Christmas.

Isn't that the same? one reviewer guy said NDA ...anyway can't wait for tomorrow

 

[petran79]

wait, its 10/10 for gameplay or for quicktime events?

 

[Cyberia]

Oh please do share?

He has a meaty review for us:

0/10

 

[The perfect Dark]

Yeah i know, it's still useful because you can get TLoU spoilerd not just on TLoU videos. Assholes are everywhere.



Well then the game got leaked? i doubt a reviewer is dumb enough to do this.

Well, it seems that the street date is already broken (not my pics)

 

[Sn4ke_911]

nofi, will your review be spoiler free?

Well, it seems that the street date is already broken (not my pics)

Damn. Well that explains everything.

 

[Papercuts]

WTF is an online pass?

Buy new with a code to unlock MP so rentals/preowned people pay $10 to buy it. All of sony's games do it now afaik so this is probably the same.

 

[Evolved1]

WTF is an online pass?

Have to pay money to play multiplayer if you rent the game or something?

Yeah... it's usually $9.99.

It's essentially a used game tax.

 

[antitrop]

Well, it seems that the street date is already broken (not my pics)

It's a terrible street date. Too close to E3.

Optimal release date probably would have been today or next Tuesday.

 

[Lé Blade Runner]

Can't wait for tomorrow. If the reviews are as glowing as I ( now ) expect them to be, I just might buy a PS3 just for this ( and NiNoKuni... And the Uncharted -trilogy, I guess ).

 

[antitrop]

Yeah... it's usually $9.99.

It's essentially a used game tax.

Sounds fair enough, I won't be paying that, though.

 

[nofi]

nofi, will your review be spoiler free?

I've tried. But I'd go into the game blind if possible - it's the only way to be sure.

 

[GANGSTERKILLER]

Well, it seems that the street date is already broken (not my pics)

Aaaaah. I need this game NOW. Before the E3.

June 14 is a awful release date.

 

[dEvAnGeL]

The Last Of Us. I OT I Ellie's Uncharted World



You know, because she's never been outside the quarantine zone

 

[Sn4ke_911]

I've tried. But I'd go into the game blind if possible - it's the only way to be sure.

Ok thanks, yeah i probably won't read any reviews, too risky now. We're so close.

 

[The perfect Dark]

It's a terrible street date. Too close to E3.

Optimal release date probably would have been yesterday.

Yeah I still don't get this. They should release it early

 

[rosaceadude2112]

I asked my parents for that game for Christmas in 1998. If it wasn't for the fact that I also asked for StarCraft and Rainbow Six that would have been one terrible fucking Christmas.

trespasser is dope, even if it didn't really come together quite how they pictured. easily my favorite ambitious failure, and its influence can be seen in the best fps/open world games this gen: stalker and far cry 2.

 

[Evolved1]

Sounds fair enough, I won't be paying that, though.

Well, you don't have to unless you buy second hand or rent it.

Honestly though, of all the anti-consumer bullshit introduced this gen, I probably find online passes the least offensive.

@pkollar @Polygon I'm excited to see what it gets.

@TheDharmaDino Hopefully also to read it

[Sn4ke_911]

They probably have something for TLoU at E3 otherwise that release date makes no sense to me.

 

[antitrop]

It wouldn't even run on my PC because I had a 3D Accelerator. The game was completely unplayable in Hardware mode. 13 year old me wasn't smart enough to understand that the game would run better in Software mode or that was even an option.

 

[Vire]

It's a terrible street date. Too close to E3.

It really should have been released before E3.

Now all people are going to do is complain about the graphics since they will be spoiled with next gen footage.

This Tuesday would have been fine...

 

[Lé Blade Runner]

Pfft, who reads reviews anyway?

 

[Green Yoshi]

German Gamepro (very bad magazine at the moment): 88%
Geman play3: 92%

Imagine if trespasser had been made at Looking Glass.

 

[The perfect Dark]

Yeah the german Gamepro is just bad. Don't read it.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

If anyone account suicides with TLoU spoilers, I hope our overlords are kind enough to present us with their IP adress

 

[Matt_]

I feel kind of sorry for reviewers
They must put so much effort into analysing the game and doing a decent write up, only for a large amount of people to just care about the score for it

 

[Vire]

German Gamepro (very bad magazine at the moment): 88%
Geman play3: 92%

88%?!

EIGHTY EIGHT!?!?!?!

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!










okay.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Well, I think a lot of people will be avoiding the actual review text for this game because they're scared of reading spoilers.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

88%?!

EIGHTY EIGHT!?!?!?!

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!







okay.

Man, is this game violent. Which I think will, at least hopefully, add to the experience. The demo that came with GOW: A certainly made good on that assertion.

Also, nice reaction, ha.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

German Gamepro (very bad magazine at the moment): 88%

For the record, they gave Uncharted 2 - 92% and Uncharted 3 - 94%.

 

[Loudninja]

Whats wrong with German Gamepro?

 

[GlamFM]

German Gamepro (very bad magazine at the moment): 88%
Geman play3: 92%

Nice.

Whats wrong with German Gamepro?

They gave TLOU 88%.

 

[rosaceadude2112]

Imagine if trespasser had been made at Looking Glass.

this is one of those hypothetical game changers we'll sadly never see like jodorowsky's version of dune and Kubrick's Napoleon.

 

[The perfect Dark]

Whats wrong with German Gamepro?

No, seriously. They let the german Gamestar (PC magazine) review most of the games and post their reviews on the Gamepro page. Even with pros & cons for Ps3/ 360 versions (which are often false of course)

 

[Vire]

Super cool concept art that may be good to use in the OT?

 

[Loudninja]

Nice.




They gave TLOU 88%.

You really are desperate to try and start something aren't you?

 

[lovegames718]

Aaaaah. I need this game NOW. Before the E3.

June 14 is a awful release date.

Yeah the mom and pop store i go to in manhattan told me theyll get the gamefor me Friday from their distributor.

 

[antitrop]

If I find a retailer breaking street date I will drop $60 on it instead of renting it.

I'm willing to make this one exception.

 

[Andrew.]

Overnight me a copy yo.

pressing a button is pressing a button, no?

7 days early? WOW

Ah then it makes sense of course. Hope you'll enjoy watching Beyond xD

 

[GlamFM]

Fantastic, that's exactly the atmosphere I want. Saturday can't come soon enough.

 

[Jb]

Oh God please let's not have another embarassing fiasco like when people flipped their shit when Eurogamer gave UC3 an 8/10.
