It is possible.
They did add a sort of achievement system to the Mii Plaza on the 3DS.
not in the sense that 360 and PS3 have achievements.

Wasn't there a rumour a month or so back that they'd have a similar system, but instead of counting up points, getting .... I think the rumour called them "accomplishments" ... would add features to your system's interface (like special backgrounds or theming or whatnot) or add accessories to your Miis?

I wasn't even expecting anything from EA, and it was still painful.
I mean, the fuck.
Who was that even for?
They had journalists get up and leave during it.

Oh good, i'm glad to see the new "Embrace Failure" slogan has a logo. Good for EA..... uh... EF

I'm not too keen on middleware. I've heard of Havok, but how important is this? Pretty small, I assume?
What was this about? It sounds intriguing.
Sorry, but when this thread moves 10 pages per day, it's really hard to go back and look for specific rumors.

A French-Canadian article claimed Epic had produced/would show a UE4 demo for the Wii U.

All you need to know is that demons souls/dark souls uses havok.

Never saw the specific rumour you're talking about, but getting backgrounds/themes could easily be the best reason I could ever be given to fully complete the games I really enjoy.
The real question is, were Nintendo to do that, how long before platinuming or maxing points on a game gives you the same backgrounds/themes?
Anyone know any recorded videos of the EA stream? I'd like a look at what's got you all in such disbelief.

yeah but those 2 games >>>>> 98% of games.
That's an excellent question. On launch day buy one, and let me throw it in a lake. I will post test results in this thread.

If it does float, that means it's a witch!
You will see the pikmin scatter to the top to remain above water. Then I'll run the fuck away and pray they don't know where I live.

just reading the guest list should have been enough to tell them no games would be shown
xbox already does something like this. i know i got a little spaceship for my avatar after playing enough radiant silvergun.
But the twitchy ragdoll physics is one of the worst parts of the games.

I just watched some of Nintendo's 2001 E3 conference and their 2006 conference. Firstly, I want to note that E3 changed so drastically from 2001 to 2006, but has changed so little from 2006 to now. Secondly, the 2006 conference made the Wii look so much cooler than it actually turned out to be (look no further than the Red Steel footage to see proof of that...). Thirdly, a loooot of awful games were shown during their sizzle reel: Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam, Necro-nesia, Sonic Wild Fire (later changed to secret rings), Final Furlong Revolution, Spongebob: Creature from the Krusty Krab, etc. Lastly, Excite Truck is so good.
Watching that E3 actually diluted my expectations a bit after being reminded of the gap between what we saw and what we ultimately got. I will say, though, that Wii U's 3rd party support is MUCH improved even before seeing what's yet to be revealed. While there's still a lot of ports, they're of much higher quality and I think we'll see many more exclusives at this E3.

That was entertaining. The reactions..

I think so! So did others like Elebits and Sonic Unleashed... forget the rest. XD But it was used in a number of Wii games.

Needs to come back on WiiU, hopefully with a steadier framerate once things get crazy.

It would have been amazing if the DKC and Star Fox VHS promo tapes had gotten this treatment from them back in the day.
edit: Rifftrax should do the EA presser.
There's a difference between an event with short, 5-10 minute interviews about EA's games and how they relate to their fields of expertise with a sort of rundown of EA's GDC lineup, and a Sim City announcement event with 30-45 minute interviews with barely any tangential relevance to Sim City. If EA had labeled the event Sim City or "Our One Brand New Game From Maxis Conference" or some such similarities, then yes, I would have set my expectations for the ONE game they showed. I really have no issue with their event, it's just that they branded it something else in a context that screams "We're going to talk about games". If those interviews were focused around bringing a new way to think about games, that would be great, but instead it was just "These are important environmental activist people that like Sim City! Maybe!"
That presser was a travesty. There's just no getting around it.
