Wait nope it's 1:1. Well played EA

Is that not from last year though? That dude with the Titanfall in his hair works at Respawn. I worked with his dad and they did the whole hair thing last year (they have done some crazy designs in the past!), but perhaps they have done it again this year too!

Looking at the poster for Murdered Soul Suspect, has to be this year. That game was not even announced last year.

It's last year. There's a poster for Thief in the background.. Murdered SS was at E3 last year.

Just noticed the Thief poster, didn't think Murdered SS was there at all last year but, yep it was.

Ah thought so! To be honest, I've never even heard of Murdered: Soul Suspect

It's only released, not great reviews. Good concept and ideas but it just didn't come together very well.

For a start, get ad block plus and popup blocker for your browser and say good bye to adds for good unless you are on some very dodgy sites.

After that the list of games is still on going as E3 finished up tonight/early morning.

I'm not referring to pop ups, most sites link you to an add with a "click here to continue to the page you actually wanted" somewhere on screen, and if they have a link to a trailer for the game, they usually make you watch a long ass trailer each time you load the vid, its annoying as ****. Not all pop ups

Basically im out of the game with regards to reviewing games and am looking for some decent sites which dont whore advertisements at you, heck i used to use gamespy for reviews thats how long ago!

The Wii-U is sparking interest for me, a console hasnt done that since the ps2/gamecube generation.. Everything before that was glorious, everything in between has been mostly a bucket of **** so i didnt bother..

Evolve is on the floor, and it is playable. However, I'm not about t stand in line for it. The company is doing a stream though, so you can watch it live

What's been your favorite of the show? How is the food and the swag?

Manic Moran · 11-06-2014 9:21pm

I have achieved very little swag, but I am not willing to stand in line for it either. Which is a bit daft: as a business, not a consumer event, most everyone here has stuff they need to do and can't hang around for ever.

Interesting comments from SCEA regarding GTA V on the PS4:

CVG wrote:

SCEA marketing vice president John Koller confirmed to Kotaku that the PS4 version will have a certain something to make it the most appealing option.

"I don't think we announced anything publicly on that, but there will be," Koller said.

Koller revealed that the game's index rate - "the amount of people who purchase one platform or the other relative to the install base" - swung "well in PlayStation's favor" for the initial release of GTA V. That was thanks in part to a partnership with Rockstar which included cross-advertising efforts and hardware bundles.

"We would expect that to happen here, too," Koller said. "GTA is a PlayStation franchise. It started with us. We really feel strongly that it belongs as a key platform driver for us."

Koller was evasive about GTA 5's PS4-exclusive elements, saying that the game and the franchise will be "very special on PlayStation."

In-game PS4 hats! You heard it here first

Edit: With Xbox one version getting exclusive Xbox hats. Nothing for PC users, cause nobody cares about them

That's ok, we'll be able to mod our own hats in, with blackjack and hookers just like we've always done.

I think after Hat Fortress 2, if there were more hats added to the PC then there would be a hat-pocalypse, with fedoras falling from the sky, top hats bludgeoning old ladies on the streets, and enough flat caps to give even a Healy-Ray a heart attack!

Typically the only folks stuck in lines for too long from a writer perspective are those who:

Are at their first e3 and don't know the ropes,
Forgot to plan their demo times with companies ahead of schedule
Got caught out with an unexpected game from a company whose advance arrangement mails they ignored
Writes for an outlet the pr folks either don't know exists or don't deem important enough to care about

I have been all those people at one stage or another

Overheal · 12-06-2014 2:02am

The evolve tournament was quite the spectacle. That game will be a mass favorite when it lands in october
