I love that Bethesda can just drop Fallout 4 6 months before release like that.

Well yes. But you know, you do need to be reminded by seeing footage after they spout they 'listened'.
Well they listened in that it's progress from Doom 3. Just not that much progress. It seemed pretty awesome to begin with then I started noting how boring the enemy and level design looked.

Like that's the main thing with Doom. You have to get the movement down, and you need the enemies to stand out and look distinct.

Thanks! I spilled coke or something on my Blackwidow Expert like 6 months ago and was eyeing the Chroma as a replacement, among others. I really love the blackwidow clicks and it feels so natural to me now. Now it can be besties with my deathadder chroma

Thank you for this. Have been needing to buy a couple of new backup drives and the 20% off finally got them to a palatable price (O, those harddrive prices of years gone by...)

So I think I might (finally) be sold on a One now:
Forza 6
That Rare collection
BC (as long as they continue to fucking support it). If they make Blur compatible? Holy shit.
No mention of Kinect during the preso.

I noticed they said it's getting a price drop to $350US. What will it get to here?




Another note: We're getting the Sony conference at 11am Melbourne time, yeah? Anyone have links to some streams? From memory, I could get to the ustream from work.
 
Microsoft hoovered my wallet with 360 Backwards Compatibility on X1, the Rare collection and that new Rare game (sea of Thieves) that looks like a Pirate version of Destiny. The trick controller looks interesting but I already have two of the old ones (and its 150 bucks). Also curious about that Recore game. oh and Fallout 4 PC mods on X1 (and it comes with Fallout 3).

EA has me on the hook for Mirror's Edge, Mass Effect and Battlefront will see me buy at least 3 EA games. No titanfall 2 yet makes me sad.

Rainbow Six in October before the onslaught..

will update my impressions with Sony conference- dis gonna be gud
me gonna be po'

Seems like the new consoles are finally getting into the swing of it, although a lot of games seem to be late next year.

Happy to get Fallout and Mass Effect though.

Halo 5 looks pretty dumb, I've played all 4 main games and I get the impression the story is going to make no sense to me.

Every year. Though this year there did seem to be some hinting towards a new BK game.

If a new Banjo game was ever announced it:

1. Wouldn't be called Banjo-Threeie
2. Wouldn't be developed directly by Rare (they aren't the studio they were in the 90s)

Game of E3 for me so far is Unravel. Super keen for it!

Awesome. But I actually just found that myself via someone else's Twitter. So they'll be definitely covering Sony live? Same cameras and stuff or do they not cut to direct feed etc.?

Just going to have it on in the background all morning I think.

Cuts to direct feed during conf then goes back out to Geoff et al. I'll probably watch this rather than Giant Bomb this time, should be some good megatons!
 
Time I got to sleep after the MS conference: 4.30AM.

Time I had to get up for kids school/morning duties: 7:15AM

My desk looks really comfortable, I might just fall asss.....
 
They would really have to fuck up from here on out for me to avoid picking up Unravel day one. Even my subsided hatred of EA won't be a factor, game looks great and the dev sold me 100% on his game.
