    Think we all know that if they are running on our consoles its just impossible for them to look that good. I imagine they are being demoed on monster pcs. Christ I couldn't take another year of MS and Sony trying to convince us there is plenty of life left in the current gen hardware, thank f**k for the 3rd parties propping up their conferences this year. Part of me thinks Nintendo held a bit back knowing how little the other two had, pity it blew up in their face

    had a private demo of watchdogs today and it doesn't look noticeably out of the ordinary for a current gen game tbh. i think devs are just figuring out how to squeeze things out of the systems that they didnt previously know how to do. halo 4 in action is a good example of that - it looks fanfrickingtastic

    now that i give more thought to the watchdogs demo, i think there's actually something to this. ubisoft aren't giving anything away at all, and reggie fils amie was in the group after me to check out the private showings which struck me as a bit strange at the time. surely he'd not have been all that bothered if it wasnt next gen

    WiiU will be getting lots of ports from current gen systems for at least a year I'd say so not that strange to be checking out how to stick a second screen on it

    its very strange that reggie's first look at a title that's potentially as big as this would come after mine, to give an extreme example. if it was coming to wii u he'd have known about it before e3

    From what I've read, Watchdogs is a current gen game, but that's not to day there won't be a version on next gen consoles.
    With regards to 1313, that is definitely a next generation game. At least in the form we saw it.

    Does that mean your body was ready before Reggie, something to boast about :pac:

    Easily the worst E3 I can remember. I just hope they are holding everything back for next E3 to announce the new consoles.

    I'm guessing the likes of Far Cry 3 and the majority of 3rd party games, worrying when these games are due beginning september.
    What is Hitman looking like and any whispers of GTA V news?

    hitman looked and played very well i thought. a bit grainy, but it appears to be a stylised thing more than anything else. i had about 10 mins on it and enjoyed murdering people, taking their clothes and hiding them in skips

    i think that says more about me than anything else though

    all dead on the gta front somewhat surprisingly

    speaking of me crashing things, i set a new personal best this week

    games that crashed while i was within a 5 foot radius of them:

    far cry 3
    transformers fall of cybertron (which is absolutely brilliant for the record)
    need for speed most wanted (which was running on pc despite, i think, being supposed to look like xbox)
    sniper ghost warrior 2
    epic mickey 2

    im developers' worst nightmare. my crash ratio is higher than any journo i know. i crash at least 2 games at every multigame event, and im usually the only one they crash on too

    You may have made me veeeery happy. The worry with Hitman was the trailers signaling a turn to more action based gameplay. Sounds like this isn't true?

    the parts i played were very action light, unless you actually got identified and caught up in a shootout - then you had very slim odds of survival unless you moved fast and got the hell out of dodge

    stealth is key, as is tact. you can't do anything stupid or you'll die - and the odds of getting out of a firefight once swat show up are minimal. it's a very refreshing change of pace from what's out there right now

    As I said in the Watch_Dogs thread, there's a lot of DX11 niceties on display throughout the demo but that doesn't mean it can't be this gen, there are ways around it either by replacing some of the effects with their DX9 equivalents or just removing them in extreme cases.

    As for 1313, that's supposedly running on the Samaritan build of Unreal Engine 3 so it's most definitely next gen.

    Does Halo 4 play like Metroid Prime as it has that look? If so then I would nearly get a 360 to play it. :) though that constant talking would annoy me.

    You talk to Reggie? Get him to set up an account here? did you get me that Wii U I asked for? :p

    It has a scanning visor but as for playing like Metroid Prime, there's been nothing really to suggest it has the same exploration and progress system. Would be nice if it did.

    Not a great E3 but it isn't really surprising considering we are kind of stuck between the current and new generation at the minute.

    Time to invest in 3DS over the summer I think. Handheld is finally showing some great potential.

    Only news I've heard involving Valve from the last week or so has been:

    -DOTA2 will be free to play, all heroes unlocked for free with paid cosmetic costumes
    -CS:GO release date and price of $15
    -developers of Payday: The Heist rumoured to be working with Valve on a Left 4 Dead prequel
    -Portal 2 stuff for PS3, new maps and Move controls
