It's only justified if there is some interesting story there. Otherwise they made the title and scenario just to show off some mad violence.

Sure and we sort of have that story. They wanted to show off an intense scene that will probably happen many times knowing naughty dog, throughout the rest of the game.

I doubt they decided, lets do this purely for a violence sake. If they wanted to go that route they could have just made a COD clone.

How much time and money did they spend making that tech demo instead of Versus XIII.

EDIT: Though if that character and world ends up in FFXV I'll be happy, seems interesting.

God of War elephant section was only bad due to the audio. It was the sound of an elephant in trouble, not some hybrid humanphant screaming in pain. Had the audio been different, tweaked to be more human like I don't think I would personally have a major issue with that scene.


Oh wow, it wasn't just me. I turned it off because I felt sorry for the elephant. :(

i can't even imagine how few towns the next final fantasy will have!

You just saw them all.

edit: oh dear.
Just watched the star wars 1313 combat demo. "In a galaxy far far away, we still have waist-high walls for cover shooting"
Fucking unoriginal hacks.

I like that everybody likes elephants. It's why they're used so much in marketing. I mean, no one had qualms with bulls and snakes and other animals getting slaughtered in previous GOWs but that elephant made everyone feel bad. I felt bad for that poor, crazy elephant too.

Tech demo? I am yet to see that. Link?
And Square Enix better not die. That means not Eidos and that means no Thief 4 or Deus Ex.

Agreed cover shooting is boring (will still buy a bunch of cover shooters though) but I did like the melee attacks over the cover, flinging that guy over the top of the box. That looked cool.

So here's something I made in the past three hours:

(Warning: if you go to a website called "Box Fuck" at work you might get fired).

http://kritz.net/personal/unity/BoxFuck.html
Game runs in Flash, but was built in Unity. So you don't need the unity player to run it!

You control a cube. You're on a pile of cubes. The idea is to move around the environment and reach places without everything falling to shit. The physics are incredibly terrible, but I kinda like how bad they are.

Press WASD / Arrow Keys to move.
Press "R" to reset the level.

There isn't a win condition, or a level, or a game yet. Just an idea I knocked out while watching the Giant Bomb E3 live stream.

I want Pikmin 3 badly. It's a shame I have no intention to buy a WiiU in the near future.

So, it seems I won't be going to the State of Origin this year even though I paid for a ticket.

One of my scum-sucking old "friends" purchased it on his credit card and I reimbursed him for it last year. Since before his wedding in May none of that circle of friends were speaking to me and I wasn't speaking to them, which is fine, they were cunts. But now State of Origin is coming up and I want my goddamn ticket. This person who has them was actually a decent guy, but now he won't answer or return my calls or messages.

That sucks pretty hard, especially since I'm not in a good financial position and a night out is an impossible luxury. I was looking forward to it, but it seems it's not going to happen. I'm tempted to damage his car or something, because seriously fuck that guy.

Planning on it, as soon as the weather clears up.

The problem with these tickets is they've been emailed by Ticketek. Essentially, even if I get a ticket from him, he could easily reprint it and if he gets to the game before me, it'll render mine useless.

Reminds me of Boom Blox a bit. If you could rotate the camera, that would be cool.

I'm not sure how I plan to handle the camera. Letting the user control it seems like an obvious choice, but I kind of like the idea of having a fixed camera, or a camera that follows you dynamically.

I'll try giving the player camera control at some stage and see if it works with my vague idea of what this game could be.

Here's my current build. It introduces one of two kinds of checkpoints I will implement. This one makes it so when you reset, it saves your location when you hit it. So you can do a wipe and your cube will stay where it was.

The second type will save the location of you, and all other blocks. So if you hit one of those, the condition that the level is in is what you reload to.

I will then make it so doubletapping R will do a level reset, putting back everything, including the checkpoints.

I'll be sticking with the dev texures for a while, I suspect. Any colourblind people have issues finding the powerups / player / other blocks?
 
Just watched the God of War gameplay video and I must agree that the violence towards the elephant was a tad excessive. Well, maybe not the violence on display, per se, but maybe the graphic nature of what was displayed. I don't think stabbing the deadephant that many times in the head was over-the-top, especially given what had transpired every second before that moment, it was just that they felt the need to pull in close to the damage being done but and show the poor things brains.

Having said that, it doesn't even come close to the level of disturbing that the last gameplay video showed. Kratos cutting up (and ultimately killing) a defenceless, shackled Cyclops on the other hand was definitely over the top, unnecessary and deplorable.
 
Thanks Choc!

Hey choc, you give free stuff away all the time. Interested in a payback? :)
I should have checked this threaddddddddddddddddd :(

Although I drew half of it this morning before work after reading the Nintendo conference.

Just watched the star wars 1313 combat demo. "In a galaxy far far away, we still have waist-high walls for cover shooting"
Fucking unoriginal hacks.
They somehow made Uncharted even more linear and scripted. Combat was in a wonky arena but didn't look great either.

The two games that have impressed me most this EA (aside from Pikmin 3) are P-100 and (Ni No Kuni)
Still a little annoyed that Nintendo didn't have P-100 up there flaunting it. Very interested to see how the gameplay is.

So, it seems I won't be going to the State of Origin this year even though I paid for a ticket.
That really sucks man. Hope that prick gets the shit kicked out of him at the game.

Rep, shirt looks fine.
I don't see much shirt there buddy. Also put some damn fog applicant on that mirror so using the shower doesn't make it annoying to see.
 
It's rugby league. You hand your brain in at the gate.

Rep, shirt looks fine.

Yes, unlike the understanding of advanced physics required to watch AFL or soccer.

Microsoft saying they've been getting overwhelmingly positive feedback on their conference is hilarious. Understandable I guess, I mean no company is going to say "everyone thought what we said two gays ago was turd", but hilarious

Haaa gold cartoon rep.

Alright AusGAF, I'm off to see Prometheus in half an hour. I shall be back to post spoilers impressions later tonight.

Of course, for those who don't want to know, I am only going to use a three point scale to avoid upsetting anyone:

1. Genre defining
2. As good/competent as expected
3. Disappointing

I promise no details beyond that until everyone has seen it.

Wish me luck. It can't be as bad as last nights E3 conference ...
 
Hey, did anyone design an Ausgaf shirt? Because I would totally buy one.

Just put everything else in spoilers.


EDIT: Yup. Facebook is fine but everything else is painful to load.
