E3....

WELP. nothing inFamous related AT ALL came out of E3. I'm super disappointed, to say the least. They even name-dropped Cole in the start of the conference and it got me so super excited AND THEN......nothing. Not even a reveal for All-Stars. The new characters turned out to be Nathan Drake (from Uncharted ofc) and the Big Daddy from Bioshock. |:

No Overstrike. Nothing really for Vita except the new Assassin Creed game...

Quantic Dream did announce their new game which looks pretty interesting. I have somewhat of a personal problem with it that I won't get into here as I'm sure I'll get over it... but yeah. I'd like to know more about the plot. :I It looks impressive so far though.

However the one game that did catch my attention? WATCH DOGS. From the Ubisoft panel. When it started with the explanation trailer I was like "what am I watching. what is this. what" but it was super interesting...and it panned out from there and by the end I was trying to throw money at my TV.


Introduction to the universe...

He's a robot...I think? LOL. But also his box is a QR scan code, which can be scanned by a smart phone, and doing so lands you on a website related to the game. It's kind of neat.

LOL. YEA IT HAS THAT EFFECT ON EVERYONE. so many people are hyped about this game now because of that trailer. How fantastic, really. Also... judging by how beautiful this game is it will probably need a super PC to play it... lol. There was actually rumors going around that it wouldn't be part of this console generation because it looked so pretty thankfully those rumors were dropped but that demo was apparently run on a PC. so pretty... *_*

TIME FLIES AWAY SO FAST. haha i'm thinking this too. so many games i need to catch up on myself.

If only I had a smart phone...;_;

The graphics are indeed very stunning, games have advanced so much over the years! I also like the concept behind the game. There really is a lot of information being passed around everyday and you never really know who is watching!

Normally, my life is not this crazy! I figured once Rodney's parents left things would settle back down, but nope. One day, I will get caught-up on things again...:P

oh, I can link you to the site! It's for the in-game club the player character visits at the start. It's pretty neat.

Haha they really have! The storylines and characters are usually what draw me in the most... of course being playable is important, but if there is no story I am interested in, I'm not likely to be grabbed by it at all. *__* which is why this really got my attention. it sounds...neat..to say the least... and it's partially based off real events too...at least the massive black out it references really did happen (but for other reasons, not a disgruntled employee lol) so its neat in that way too, I think.

LOL and the stuff about data is exactly why I said "ubisoft... making people paranoid" in the AIM chat I posted. It was at this intro video I was just like "WHERE IS THIS GOING IS THIS ABOUT GAMES WHAT"

SOON!! SOON!! lol everything settles back down eventually... I know how that is...

That is pretty spiffy! They are really make games more and more interactive too! Though, I usually don't get to share in the fun. One day I will get my Wii online...;)

Of course, if the characters and story suck then what is the point?! I think that is why I have always like RPGs?! I vaguely remember the massive blackout in New York. We do really rely to much on machines!

I do hope so, I miss having video game time...;_;

YEA... there is more information about Watch Dogs being leaked as news from e3 comes out... not only is there a co-op mode you can play with friends... but they're also going to work on making smart phones compatible with the game? It sounds interesting anyway... It is getting more interactive..

Yeaaaa that is probably why! LOL. A lot of modern games now have pretty good stories in them... at least I think so lol. I recently went to rewatch the cutscenes from a game I beat not long ago to refresh my memory on what happened in it.....and the youtube playlist I made w/ all of them turned out to be an hour and a half. AN ENTIRE MOVIE'S LENGTH OF CUT SCENES IN A GAME. :b that's kind of cool.

I have never played a game in co-op mode before. I keep saying this, but I really need to hook my Wii to the net. I just need to get a splitter of some sort so I can run the connection to where the Wii sits. One day I will have to breakdown and get a smart phone too. Right now, I have a free cell phone from a Government program called Safelink Wireless...:3

Well, I guess you could call today's video games interactive movies?! Did you ever watch the movie Gamer?! I think I had mentioned it to you before?
