    I got a serious inside view of Dead Space 2 in London with EA and its basically DS 1 with more cool stuff and better. They know they're on to a good thing and they seem to have fixed the dumb parts. It looked really creepy too :)

    BulletStorm looked like a serious funny blast with your mates, completely over the top FPS, made for mates to pull off stupid cool kills. Braindead but looked like huge fun at a lan or on saturday night.

    For me though, the small indie stuff like Limbo, costing bugger all and made with love and intelligence is where its at at the moment. They are just killing the "big" titles imho. I mean does anyone seriously want to see COD 17 or GEARS OF ARTHRITIS?

    no but battlefield 23 looks good :-)

    played fallout vegas at e3, and tbh it didnt grab as being particularly good

    was missing something i couldnt put my finger on... hopefully that something is a few extra months of development
    In fairness, New Vegas is just a glorified mod. But that's what the fans wanted, so you can hardly blame Bethesda for taking the easy way out. Maybe they'll put in more effort for the next one.

    I'm pretty sure we've had this conversation before but I think there's room for both the cool indie titles and the big AAA titles to exist together. I'm currently playing Uncharted 2 at the moment and it's utterly fantastic, the cinematic action, fantastic graphics, voice acting and general polish are quite remarkable. Now, an indie studio will never be able to produce a title like this but they can produce utterly fantastic games in their own right.

    That being said, there's certainly room in the AAA market for some of the the indie scene's creativeness and/or quirkiness to shine through. For instance, check out Lost In Shadow from Hudson Soft which is coming out for the Wii soon...



    And to answer your question, I don't really care about CoD 17 but I sure as hell want Gears Of War 3. Then again, I want FEIST and Fez too. :D

    Defo. I'm really looking forward to having a shot at this one. Looks like it's putting the Duke Nukem style fun back into FPS', and it about time too if you ask me. I lost interest pretty quick in FPS games when they became more realistic, and less fun. It just didn't appeal to me at all.

    Is Postal 3 ever coming?? All I want in the world is a badger gun :(

    Other than that, Medal of Honour, Reach, Fable 3, Gears 3... and Elder Scrolls and HL Episode 3 (laughs a sad kind of laugh...)

    Elite 5 is in the works too, I think, and that would definitely be something that I'd look forward to.
    Elite 5?

    Portal 3?

    Did I sleep through 2.... ?!?!


    DS 2, the missions are less like "orders from a disembodied head telling you go get them stuff" and the aliens are more varied and so are the guns and the shop system is improved (afaicr). Plus you can shoot out glass windows and use the vacuum of space to help you (sucks out all the bad guys, but also you if you arent fast at hitting the safety).

    It definitely looked like the old one though.

    Guessing he meant Elite 4 which has been in development limbo since ~2005, ignoring the failed MMORPG attempt from back in 2000. As of earlier this year it seems Frontier aren't working on it anymore though, I assume they're concentrating on getting The Outsider finished. :o

    I'm really looking forward to the Scott Pilgrim game, which is out on August 10 on PSN and TBA on XLBA (it's a timed exclusive).

    I'm also looking forward to Castlevania: Harmony of Despair, even though I'm not sure what the single player is gonna be like!

    Yes but 1200 points for 3 hours gameplay?

    Portal offered the same amount of gameplay for the same price. Was that worth it? Hell yes.

    The average length of a game these days is ~10hrs. The average price of a game is €50. That works out as €5 per hour. Multiply that by 3 and you have €15, €5 more expensive than Limbo. On top of that, Limbo is 3hrs of focused, fantastic gameplay, not 10hrs of varying quality as is found in many games.

    So all in all, is 1200pts for 3hrs of Limbo worth it? **** yes it is.
