GRIM FANDAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
And looking at Tim Schafer's twitter it looks like it's coming to PC! Huzzah!
No man's sky so gorgeous!
Sony wins hands down. Ps now service to launch 31 july (north America) - no console required.
PS tv coming in October. Project Morpheus playable at e3 (hoping it will be at pax aus).
GB stream was cool
Guess I won't need a ps4 until 2015!
I come out of this thinking MS wins, which is weird because I thought their showing wasn't that strong too. At least their conference was games, games, games with some really unexpected exclusives announced.
Pretty bad e3 this year.
Can't be all bad with a PC port of GTA V incoming.
Yeah, it's definitely far too played out now. The only thing I liked which was violent was the Dead Island 2 trailer... and even then, it was more comical than anything (and incredibly well done, too). Everything else is just tired, boring and gratuitous.Man I'm so over video game violence. Stuff is just gross.
Pretty much everything I was happy with, although the FC4 stuff is cool it's not something on my radar at all.Yeah Sony won that easily, even though people had to listen about TV and shit for 15 minutes.
Tons of games, some that didn't even leak! Zomg! That was shocking.
No Man's Land still looks incredible.
Another Suda exclusive is cool, actually looked interesting too.
REMAKE OF GRIM FANDANGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Sony wins just with that. Fucking awesome they are helping to make that happen
Far Cry 4 allowing co-op with people who don't even own the game is cool too.
Wait, EA dropped a Battlefront trailer? I'm cool with that
Wasn't in the conf, that was just early prototype stuff. Is there a new one? Sony are putting up a ton of trailers and reveals at the moment (like a reboot of Ratchet & Clank on PS4 by Insomniac).
That last 45 minutes of the Sony conference was incredibly boring.
So I see the Australia tax has now been applied to Witcher 3. Apparently you can get a GOG Credit to compensate the difference if you buy it from gog.com?
First of all, yay a fucking credit to buy Microprose games from the 90s, second of all What's the logic in that? They themselves are making the game!!
Content wise, both were on par. But, if you take out Halo remaster from MS and TLOU remaster from Sony, then Sony has the upper hand. I don't consider remaster and HD versions of previously released games as new content.
Also, conference wise Sony was longer and more entertaining. Crowd cheered more. MS conf was very robotic. There's also lots of free stuff like 25 f2p games on PS4, multi plats will be better on PS4, and many big titles like Batman, Destiny etc will have exclusive PS content.
E3 was pretty good cause you know there's a ton of stuff coming out next year, and that's what e3 is for.
It's a publisher thing or something. They're very much the good guys though, I remember with Witcher 2 they were incredibly loose with how one could select the region they were located (not locking it to IP or anything, just "trusting" we would select the right country). I'd be surprised if they didn't take the same path with their other new titles, like W3 and Cyberpunk 2077*.So I see the Australia tax has now been applied to Witcher 3.

Also no mention of PS Now for anywhere except for NA and Canada.
'It's a publisher thing' - They ARE the publisher!
Valve games are the same price in America and Australia, they're fast becoming the last company to actually fucking do this. RAGEEEEEE
http://www.gog.com/news/letter_from_the_md_about_regional_pricingAlright, but why is regional pricing needed for those (only 3 so far!) newer games then?
First of all, you have to be aware of an important fact when it comes to newer games: GOG.com cannot really decide what the prices should be. Top-tier developers and publishers usually have contractual obligations with their retail partners that oblige them to offer the game at the same price digitally and in retail. When they dont have such contractual obligations, they are still encouraged to do so, or else their games might not get any exposure on the shelves in your favorite shops. This will change over time (as digital sales should overtake retail sales in the near future), but as of today, this is still a problem our industry is facing because retail is a big chunk of revenue and theres nothing GOG.com can do to change that. We need to charge the recommended retail price for the boxed copies of the games in order for developers (or publishers) to either not get sued or at least get their games visible on shelves. You may recall that our sister company CD Projekt RED got sued for that in the past and we dont want our partners to suffer from that too.
Change the region on GOG to not be Australia, then. At least they're not IP-blocking a la GMG.BULL FUCKING SHIT.
Who the fuck buys PC games at EB? Fucking nobody. It's 99% digital.
'It's a publisher thing' - They ARE the publisher!
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will be distributed by Namco Bandai in Australia, the publisher has announced.
They also published #2, I think.CD Projekt RED's fantasy role-playing game The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will be distributed by Namco Bandai Games in Europe, the company announced today.
BULL FUCKING SHIT.

Or pirate it if you despise their practices that much. DRM-free and all that.
