Yeah I got such a heavy Children of Men vibe to it, and I'm loving that. Naughty Dog has figured out character animations so well this generation, it's crazy. Like when you're behind cover and try to move past Ellie, Joel will actually move around her, putting his arms to either side of her so they can both hide behind the same spot on the cover. It was so natural I hardly noticed it at first.
I really hope they do a PS4 port of this at some point, though. I'd love to see it running with crazy detailed textures at 1080p.
Fringe Evangelicals that've managed to carve out their own ultra conservative niche in the Liberal Party (Eric Abetz, Cory Bernardi, Kevin Andrews etc).
Which, in regards to shooting, you can fix by appending a bunch of scrap bolts onto your guns. Then you shoot just as well as Drake, somehow. And, y'know, you're still running around strangling every fucker you come across. But you can't jump on things, I guess.
It's also interesting to me that if you run off of an object, and press X, you'll even do a little drake jump off it. It's interesting because the game doesn't have a jump button, and it never prompts you about it, it's just something I do out of habit in games and the game actually responds to the button press by doing what I can only assume is a legacy ability.
The game's not bad, though. Even if I would have preferred seeing it on the PS4 - it looks like horseshit on the PS3.
EDIT: The animations are perhaps the best animations I've seen in a game. So, there's that.
Gaz, how come Crackdown 3 hasn't been announced for the XBone?
And is Saints Row 3 playable on PC. And should I pre-order SR4 on PC or 360? I've already preordered the 360 version, but I can always cancel that and throw that money on my GTA5 PS3 pre-order, if the PC version is going to work fine on launch.
Just heard of lots of SR3 PC issues.

Because people are IDIOTS. Xbone could have a restriction where it doesn't work unless you're directly feeding it newborn babies every six hours and I would still buy one for CRACKDOWN
OMG CRACKDOWN
Nope.
Still getting sub 30fps a lot of the time when I tried a couple of weeks ago. When I build my super (NVIDIA) PC over the coming month I plan to play it then.
And that in itself really really sucks, because I really like the look of SR4 but I may be burnt out after SR3 :/

Pretty ugly week for Australian sport.
The whole saga in the Australian Cricket team, Stephen Milne of St. Kilda charged with 4 counts of rape, George Burgess of Souths charged with willful vandalism, James Tamou of NQ Cowboys charged with DUI and Blake Ferguson of Canberra charged with indecent assault.

To be fair, he's a guy who's spent 20 years killing in order to survive. He's not a superhero, but if he wasn't already good at killing he wouldn't have lived as long as he has.
Gun crafting doesn't affect accuracy does it? I thought that was through spending pills on stat upgrades. Still gamey but it is a fucking video game, I mean come on.
Apart from just generally being a bit shit and poorly managed, dunno.

Oh cool auto-updates isn't locked behind PS+ on PS4, that really should have always been free.
Punched an England player when they were out drinking at 2am one night. No biggie. His form is the much more heinous crime.

As someone who doesn't follow soccer very closely, will it be worth watching?

Nope. I played it. A LOT. The first GTA style game that I managed to finished since Vice City (not counting Bully, which I was a far smaller game and didn't try to lure me away from playing the main game with 1000 side quests and state-sized playing areas). Oh, I forgot about Just Cause 2. I played and finished that twice. Fuck it. Apart from those two games (one twice) it was the first GTA-style open-worldy game I finished since Vice City. Probably.
I liked the fact that it was constructed in a way that said "you really just wanna play this and have fun, don't you? Let's strip away the frustrations by making you overpowered and giving you new, interesting toys after each mission. Heck, in these cinematic scenes, let's remove the health bar completely, so you can't die and get frustrated. That way you'll remember this section because it was enjoyable and fun, not because you had to play it 15times and wanted to punch your cat. Hey, you're welcome, we just want you to have a lot of fun."
I will play Saints Row 4 (as long as it is of similar quality as 3).
You suck?
Well it's do or die for them if they want to get into the World Cup without too much of a headache, so it could be interesting.
There's just a bit too much stealthing around chest high cover, a bit too many zombie shooting sections, and just... the parts I like about that game are the parts where you're just wandering around open environments, looting houses and hearing dialogue with people. And, sure, of course you need something else to keep the flow going, it's just that I always hope some game will eventually work out alternate ways to provide gameplay without the traditional "yo get some headshots" structure.
It's also kinda weird how the game feels like it should be all resource managementy, but the game seems to dynamically just give you back ammo whenever you use it. Enemies won't drop ammo even if they have a gun they've not fired, until you're below a certain threshold. Which is pretty smart gameplay design, it just feels weird to have it in this game.
Don't get me wrong, it's the best game I've played on the PS3. It tries so very hard to be interesting, and it mostly succeeds. It just makes the flaws a lot easier to spot when everything else is really good. Kinda like Bioshock Infinite.
Was no SR2, but it was okay.

No spoilers here till 10:30 for all the fta folk. Which is probably including me tonight due to kids bed time.

Will turn it on and see how it goes then.
Is there "anywhere else" to watch it live?
Well this is kinda cool

Game development in Australia has been given a boost today with the announcement of $6 million in funding, to be divided amongst 10 Australian developers.
The $6 million is the first part of the $20 million package announced last year, to be delivered over the next three years.
The ten successful companies to receive funding were:
- Defiant Development (QLD)
- ODD Games (SA)
- Soap Creative (NSW)
- Tantalus Media (VIC)
- Tin Man Games (VIC
- Torus Games (VIC)
- Twiitch (VIC)
- Uppercut Games (NSW/ACT)
- The Voxel Agents (VIC)
- Wicked Witch Software (VIC)
Data released today by the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows that employment numbers in the Australian game development sector have fallen from 1431 to 581 people. Hopefully this cash injection can help to bring that number around.

Oh hey Tantalus still exist... good for them.
Most places seem to have baguette style sandwiches when they're advertising bocadillos. That may just be because sliced bread isn't that common though.

It really is incredible. Let me know when you've finished, and we shall have talks. My favourite section is towards the end. The whole atmosphere is perfectly captured.
I really need to watch children of men, people were talking about it when we started playing.

Socceroos spoiler:
I just had an awesome moment where I beat 1-K on DKCR the very moment Australia qualified for Rio.
I've been under a rock for a week finishing some shit before I fly overseas.
Can someone explain to me what the hell has been going on with the AFL?
I heard something on the radio about people getting sacked and a new captain and some general meetings and the AFL getting involved.
Can someone fill me in? I wasn't really paying much attention.

Yeah the lack of rights based political discourse is a one that a lot of academics have observed and commented on. It's weird.
