Well I didn't make it up as I felt that way, I read a lot of reviews that said the gameplay could have offered more, I remember lots of people saying it was a step down from Infamous 2. As I said it was fun but it could have and should have been a lot more. But at the end of the day it comes down to my personal opinion, I'm not making shit up to push my narrative or whatever nonsense people want to throw my way.
You said shallow gameplay, which is wrong. The game definitely needed more content and some extras in the gameplay department would have easily made it one of the 5 best games of the generation. Instead, it's just a great game but not amazing and one of the best.
 
This is incluiding multiplayer mode without the patches.

FWIW, UC3 was a 3D-compatible game so much of the disc-space is bloated from that. Cut out the 3D-compatibility and UC3's file size probably goes down significantly (maybe down to under 30 GB? Not sure). Still, it wouldn't fit onto a single dual-layer BD along with UC1 and UC2 anyway.
 
I would guess no multiplayer or just for one of them
And it has to be UC2 since that was awesome. Or maybe the mult would be a UC4 beta

They can give both MP, they don't have to fit it all onto one disc (even if it would be more convenient and everything). UC is basically Sony's Halo, in terms of how much people love and play the MP from either UC2 or UC3 (it's not Sony's Halo in the sense that it's obscenely popular, though). Pretty sure UC3 still has a playerbase even now.

It would be stupid to exclude one of the game's multiplayer modes.
 
Well

Sorry then.

Check our motto, pal.

We don't crush dreams around here.

Let a man dream, will ya!
 
Maybe. I have a feeling it will be revealed, but not in any substantial way. It's hard to say how far along it is really, but I'm not expecting much.

2 star wars games at one conference? Did I die and go to heaven? No but seriously I thought SWBF was going to be a big focus for EA conference but I hope I am wrong

Maybe they won't show it so focus doesn't get drawn from BF, but I'm betting on at least a tease.

Assuming they at least want to aim for a Fall 2016 release, now would be the time for a proper teaser. The next film after The Force Awakens (Rogue One) release in December, 2016 - and I imagine EA will try to leverage that popularity. Although Episode VIII is scheduled for a release the following Spring, so it wouldn't be that hard to delay.

Still, I'd bet on at least a title/concept announcement.
 
Seeing as Battlefront is being market by Sony, I expect they have got the entire Star Wars set.

MS will market Mass Effect I suspect

I feel like since MS have been going with properties that resonated with 360 owners they'd try and market the next Mass Effect game as an Xbox property, seeing as the first and second game started as exclusives. Maybe Dragon Age was part of that deal?
 
All I want.

All I need.

Star Wars: 1313. Visceral Games. Q1 2016.

EA already revealed their plans for Q1 2016 though and the game scheduled for Q1 is Mirror's Edge.
I honestly don't expect Visceral to fully reveal their Star Wars game until the beginning of next year or next E3. We might get a teaser this year but I doubt a Q1 release for it.

Since Disney plays a role in the games that get made and when they release I imagine every Star Wars game will be released along side a movie. And since they plan on doing a Boba Fett standalone movie and 1313 is about Boba Fett I wouldn't be holding my breath. :p The next Star Wars movie after 7 will be Rogue One, then 8 and Boba Fett after that.
 
I wonder if Sony will have a awkward Sony pictures guy on stage talking for 10 minutes again. It has really killed the flow of their last 2 shows.

Plus this year it looks like they will have demos of AC, COD, Destiny 1.5 and Battlefront. A few extra minutes for other stuff would be nice.

I suspect the only reason Sony got Battlefront was from the Disney side. Everything else EA will be staying Xbox branded I think.

BF: Hardline was PS branded.

Kinda nullifies your argument.

EA is a business, and they'll go to the market leader over some make believe loyalty.

Has there been anything to suggest AC is back with Sony after last year? Ive not seen anything but I don't play AC these days.

Well EA were at Sony's conference touting Hardline last year before the deal seemingly got cancelled or something? Ended up having an MS TV ad iirc with Halo/TR etc.

MS have had Madden, Fifa and Titanfall more recently, I suspect they will keep TF2 and Madden (for this year at least, if they have their own NFL game it will go Sony i'd expect), I wouldn't be surprise if Fifa went back to Sony. PvZ won't be exclusive again and the last Need for Speed was Sony marketed so I think we will see EA somewhat transition back to Sony with Star Wars, NFS and possibly Madden/Fifa over the next couple of versions

Possibly, would make sense as well. I wouldn't be surprised if Dragon Age was the sort of thing that Sony weren't really interested in and was an easy get for MS with the conference demo & DLC deal too

Look closely and you will have noticed Hardline was not PS branded once the E3 alpha was over.


And I dont think its a market leader thing. Last gen EA had different games branded with xbox, PS or Wii all through that generation. They never got deep with one side like they are now. Maybe its the EA Access thing.

Was it?

My bad, sorry.

But I still think EA has allegiance to no one.

You could always go 5 pages back and see all of this you know.

You know, with 8740 posts, forgive me if I wasn't too keen to go searching for something that I had no idea was there... if it was that much trouble, you need not have gone to the effort.

Also, on page 83 there is nothing about this?

I put that down to the delay and it not hitting 1080p (natively) which Sony said it would during the conference. I think we'll see EA move over to Sony a bit, even if Sony/Disney relations is the reason for Sony getting Battlefront, its still an EA game with them. Could represent a change of sorts

Oh you have settings on 100 posts per page? I'm currently using 50 posts per page.

Excuse me, what? Are Uncharted games full of FMVs? Because otherwise 3D should not affect anything file size wise.
 
Ok after digging for info, I found how much each Uncharted game weighs in terms of data that needs to be in it in other to play the game.

Uncharted 1 GOTY - 20.3GB UC1
Uncharted 2 GOTY - 20.8 GB UC2
Uncharted 3 GOTY - 43.5 GB UC3

Easily you could fit the first 2 games in a 50GB blu-ray and have 9GB to spare for 1080p treatment and the UC3 could go on 2nd disc with 7GB to spare for 1080p treatment.

So, maybe it will be 2 disks. Cool. Though I'm really interested to see what they do with UC1. That is the one that does not hold up as well. Just moments ago, I decided to redeem my free week of PSNow and played UC1 and UC2 on PS4 and man, UC1 felt way worse then I remembered (and I hadn't played it all that long ago). I thought maybe PSNow was at fault.... that was until I started UC2. Wow, that game still plays and looks great. I am almost satisfied with having that as an option over a remaster, but I know many people just don't have the option of fast broadband internet. I really hope they add to PSNow the ability to buy-to-own games and have the usage of DLC (maybe already bundled into said games).
 
No way they will show gameplay, but PSX this year I think its a high chance. I agree that they will maybe show teaser though

I am not even sure about PSX, i remember a tweet from one of the developers that there would be no way they would be ready for this E3, but next for sure. I am not even sure if they will be ready for PSX

Wait I think remember what tweet you mean, didnt they say PSX was going to be big for them? Man I need to find that tweet..

EDIT: https://twitter.com/corybarlog/status/518438643354988545 Found it! While he didnt say anything about PSX, it would make sense since they wont be at E3 this year
 
Excuse me, what? Are Uncharted games full of FMVs? Because otherwise 3D should not affect anything file size wise.

The way they did 3D, I swore I read somewhere on here on GAF, required them to double up on some of the bigger files in the game (I think it was cutscenes?) and the cutscenes are already pretty big files because they're pre-rendered and thus are videos. UC3 is a shorter game than UC2 yet is 2x the file size, that's because of having to put the pre-rendered cutscenes on the disc twice to account for the 3D (one set is not-3D, the other set is for 3D).
