It was pretty bad. If anyone sat through it can you please give the full list of games that were shown and stuff like that? It was pretty bad. Everyone who came up on stage kept making jokes that no one laughed at, announcements that had no one clapping (pity clap here and there), just not really entertaining. I mean you can't really expect much from them since it's not like they are Sony or Nintendo who can come out with news for thigns besides games. They can only come up with gaming news while Sony can bust out new systems, deals, games, etc. It's been a while but here are some of the ...I guess features of their conference that I can remember (I stopped watching like half an hour in)
New Ghost Recon: It's like call of duty except with a bunch of futuristic weapons and stuff like being able to cloak and having missiles attached to the back of peoples armor. I was never a huge fan of this series.
New Rayman "Rayman:Origins": It looks like it plays JUST like Kirby's epic yarn which was a great game. Side scroller with the ability for co-op. Pretty neat I guess. I was never a huge rayman fan or anything but it the only reason Iwould ever play it is because it plays like Kirby's epic yarn which was incredibly fun with co-op.
FarCry 3: I've never played any games from this series so I can't really say much. To be honest from the gameplay video if I wasn't told it was Farcry I would of said it looked like uncharted or tombraider with a guy. It's not a call of duty shooter or anything. When they showed the video clip of the game I fucking lol'd. The censor was having some sort of problem. One of the characters in a cutscene kept on using profanity and the censor had like a 2 second delay and a lot of profane language slipped on live TV. like "Fucking bastard". At one point the beep noise went on for like 10 seconds, I figure who ever was pressing the button to make the censor just got tired and decided to bleep out a huge portion of the video.
Assasins Creed revelations: Have never tried a game from the series but I think if I heard right it's the last game of the series? Someone fill me in on that ;o
I think Ubisoft did Call of duty right? New CoD MW: It's pretty much the same thing except the story has you fighting in New york. They went into detail with a specific gun. It was called the Xn8something like that. It had a two scopes. It could go from red dot to acog with the press of a button and shot out a grenade that doesn't explode on contact. Instead it 'calculates' your target and explodes when it is right above your target so you can get people who hide behind cover and stuff. I didn't pay that much attention and I missed a lot of it.
One last thing about Ubisoft. The are launching a new uh... branch? It's going to be a film making department. They said that they are going to use it to make an Assasins creed, Splinter cell, and another popular game movie. That's pretty neat.
That's all I got from ubisoft. NOW FOR THE FUCK YEA BRO TIER SONY CONFERENCE.
First let me start off with Dust 514 (I think those were the numbers): This game was created with a partnership with the guys who made EVE online. Correct me if I heard wrong but it's going to have cross platform support for the Ps3 and Pc and it will play like EVE in the sense that you buy assets and use them to war other people except instead of your 'character' being a ship you are in first person as a human being. It's like a giant ground war where you get ISK (EVE money) and buy tanks, turrets, ammo, weapons, vehicles, spaceships, drop pods, what the fuck ever and bring them in to help you in raping your opponents. I figure they partnered with the EVE online people because you would be able to go around with your bros forming a kind of coalition or group or guild or clan or faction or w/e and fight against other peoples groups or factiosn or w/e for land online. Actually interesting imo.
Infamous 2: not a huge fan of the series but eh whatever. From the video they showed in this game cole (that's his name right?) will be able to use new powers that aren't just electric based. He will be able to use Ice and fire abilities. I have no idea how the story went but in the video he teams up with two new characters (they seem new). They are both girls who have the power of Ice and Fire which I think is the reason why he himself also has those abilities.
Bioshock infinite: The game play looked alright. It was pretty steam punk. I can't really say that much about the game play except that a huge part of getting around the floating island will be these rails that you can sort of grind on in the sky with your handy dandy hand rail copter thingy. Story wise apparently you have a girlfriend or a wife or maybe sister? who is name Elizabeth and she says something about how 'he' should NOT take her neck. Though later on in the trailer she is crying as she is being taken away by a robot and you fall to your almost death until you get a hold of a sky rail. Cool stuff I guess.
They also showed a huge part on the Playstation move 9the controller with the bright colored ball on the tip). They actually made it seem really good when they brought out Medivel move. Too much stuff happened in the segment for me to remember. Kobe Bryant showed up. He was a pretty cool guy.
THEN THEY WHIPPED OUT THE NGP WHICH WAS OFFICIALLY NAMED THE PLAYSTATION VITA. FUCK YEA. BEST PART OF THE CONFERENCE. It's goign to have a wifi only version and a 3G/Wifi version.
Price for the Wifi only will be 250USD (also 250 Euro lololol eurofags)
3G/Wifi will cost you 300 USD (300 euro lolololo(
The 3G will be provided by ATT
The PSV looks so godamn amazing. A LOT of games for the PSV are going to be cross platform with the PS3. You will be able to play a game on the PS3 and save the game and then load your save on your PSV and play it there. Same game with probably less graphics but still the same exact game. You can only also do things like play mod nation racer on your PSV against PS3 players. I thin kthe same goes for Little Big planet 2.
The graphics were great. I want an PSV SO bad.
Tomorrow will be the Nintendo conference. I'm already satisfied. I hope Reggie won't blow my mind too much ;_;
