LA Noire is it any good ????

[Arsenal Fan]

ive hear only fantastic stuff about it, it'll probably be game of the year.

[KSE Comedy Club]

Its alright, Im playing it at the moment.

The 40's atmosphere is very well done but the actual 'game' itself is missing. Basically its very repetative, get to crime scene, press 'A' alot to find clues/evidence, question witness then hope you select the right options from truth, lie, doubt and onto the next one. The facial animation is very good, but thats about it.

Very over-rated imo.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I'm not sure it is any more repetitive than any other game is. I think it is very good personally, there is enough to keep it interesting though I am well in to the game.

[danisinkz]

I've been fudged over by Game or the Royal Mail.... Pre-ordered last week, dispatched on the 18th (to be received surely on the day of release!?).....still waiting for it.

To take my anger away im playing Bully again. Youve gotta love Rockstar games :)

[Master Splinter]

Domains and online reports suggest the Next Generation Portable – Sony's PlayStation Portable successor – is called the PlayStation Vita.
Vita is Latin and Italian for "life".
GamesPundit (http://gamespundit.com/1359/rumour-time-ngps-official-name-revealed) brings word from a source that NGP's formal name is PS Vita, and provides an image containing the logo.
Adding authenticity to the Vita name is mention of it on a Sony developer subdomain called Vita.SCEdev.net (http://vita.scedev.net/), noticed by Joystiq (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/05/30/vita-scedev-net-website-spurs-more-speculation/).

Sony is expected to announce pricing, availability and the final name of the NGP during its press conference at E3 next week.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

after you sir:tiphat:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

E3 on Monday eh? :popcorn:

[Master Splinter]

Vita?
VITA stands for Violence Is The Answer. A clique set up by Syn for all those who believed that violence was the answer if we wanted to win the League in the face of the scummery of Stoke/Blackkburn etc. Sadly, only Sir Jack really stepped up in an attempt to fulfil this dream. The rest of the team pussied out.

But VITA goes on. I'd set up a clique page, but it's Syn's baby and more importantly, I can't be bothered.

[Master Splinter]

E3 on Monday eh? :popcorn:
E3 :bow:.

I remember when I read about it each year in games magazines. It was so exciting.

Now you can watch all the companies' press conferences live. The Internet :bow:. Still exciting tbf.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xbox's is on at 5:30 our time I think which is a bit annoying, well for me anyway. http://www.bbc.co.uk/dnaimages/boards/images/emoticons/f_grr.gif

I guess it could be delayed like last year.

[Master Splinter]

Nintendo's is the only one that matters tbh.

Microsoft seems to be just adding Kinect to every big-name game in an attempt to make it attractive to "hardcore" gamers.

Maybe Valve will WUM everyone by actually making a shock appearance and announcing Half Life 3.

Which won't be out until 2019 of course.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Forza 4 is the only one I can think of. Although interestingly L.A Noire does mention Kinect on the beginning screen, not sure if the PS version does the same for Move but it doesn't yet have support.

I'll take interest for the Nintendo one because I have Nintendo stuff and I'll take interest for the Microsoft one because I have Microsoft stuff.

[Master Splinter]

There have been leaks of boxarts ranging from the next Ghost Recon to Mass Effect 3, which all show Kinect compatibilty. I think a Gears Of War Kinect game is pretty much confirmed too. They're trying to shoe-horn it into everything. It is Microsoft's MO of course.

It's a shame most things get leaked or are shown to the press weeks in advance these days. Only a few companies have surprises these days.

But still, E3 :bow:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I guess from the Microsoft's standpoint, they have to do something with Kinect, for those who have it! I'm not even sure Microsoft have realised what an advanced piece of tech they actually created. I'm guessing the Mass Effect one would only be as an optional extra. I don't play Ghost Recon so they can do what they like to that.

[KSE Comedy Club]

They will be showing off the Star wars Kinect game too. Should be interesting.

I had a kinect for xmas but I dont have a mansion sized living room so it didnt work properly, kept jumping into the sofa!

The voice controls were fantastic though. They have announced head tracking for use with forza 4, looks really good.

[Marc Overmars]

Are they going to officially announce the successor to the Wii?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I strongly suspect so.

[GP]

Sounds like it's no half-arsed effort this time.

Proper hardware, more powerful that the PS3, apparently.

[Master Splinter]

Hmm

[GP]

[GP]

Minecraft on Kinect!!!

Awesome!

[GP]

And a Star Wars Kinect game...


which looks pretty bad

[Jofnn]

Are they going to officially announce the successor to the Wii?

If they do, they'll have to produce something freaking awesome to challenge the other two consoles... I can't see Nintendo managing to do anything spectacular, apart from release another 12 Mario games!

[Marc Overmars]

Apparently Nintendo's controller for the console is going to be a portable gaming device in itself, with a small HD screen.

[GP]

If they do, they'll have to produce something freaking awesome to challenge the other two consoles... I can't see Nintendo managing to do anything spectacular, apart from release another 12 Mario games!

Well they are saying it's more powerful that the PS3, and the controllers apparently have a 6" screen in them.

[Master Splinter]

If they do, they'll have to produce something freaking awesome to challenge the other two consoles... I can't see Nintendo managing to do anything spectacular, apart from release another 12 Mario games!
Nintendo have soundly beaten Microsoft and Sony on both the home console and handeld front in terms of both software and hardware with the Wii and DS. The other two have barely profited this generation and released Kinect and Move to try and catch up.

If you're referring to the types of games you like, that is subjective of course.

And MO, they announced they would be revealing the new console a E3 a few months ago. It will be shown tomorrow (unless something leaks before then!).

[GP]

Halo 4 is apparently 'the start of a new trilogy'

Hmm

[Master Splinter]

Microsoft seems to be just adding Kinect to every big-name game


:gp:

It seems their conference was all about Kinect. Halo 4 was the only big surprise, but even that had already been leaked :lol:.

[GP]

Some of the Kinect stuff does look impressive.

Apart from the Star Wars stuff, which looked really disappointing.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:gp:

It seems their conference was all about Kinect. Halo 4 was the only big surprise, but even that had already been leaked :lol:.

It's not a huge surprise, most of the studios are now multi-platform so they'll have their own press conferences. Will be interesting to see if Nintendo have support from Bethesda, BioWare etc etc, I think with a HD console (if it is to be) that they will need it.

Arkham City looks pretty good.

Also, http://www.gametrailers.com/netstorage/e3/e3-live.html.

[GP]

Hmm, I don't own an xbox but I can get a 250gb console with a kinect bundle for £160. I might go for it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That is pretty good. In fact, that's better than pretty good.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

EA's press conference is in a few minutes. :popcorn:

[Master Splinter]

It's not a huge surprise, most of the studios are now multi-platform so they'll have their own press conferences.

It would be good for Microsoft to have more internal studios. They only seem to have Forza, Halo, Gears Of War and Fable every year now. And Rare reduced to making Wii Sports clones :rose:. They're doing well by having best-selling versions of multi-platform blockbusters at the moment. But if they lose that advantage in the next generation, they'll need some exclusives to fall back on. Sony and Nintendo have a huge portfolio of exclusive games from first-party studios, but Microsoft doesn't. It could hurt them in the future.

Also, the new Tomb Raider looks good.

[Cripps_orig]

Played my first matches on pro 11 online recently.

Better than the previous games.

Still too slow for my liking though

They did used to for the retail games but whether it is from idiocy of how they have treated them, or studios just needing to be multi-platform to exist that has been it or pressure from the other consoles to release their games on their platforms (like Mass Effect for example). XBLA is still pretty awesome for the games that they get on there though. Having said that, you can't expect XBLA games to sell anywhere near as much as retail games regardless of how good they are.

Well... the Wii is more of a family (or party) console... rather than one for the "hardcore gamers". As an owner of all three main consoles, I'm of the opinion that the 360 is the best... I think the xbox does what the other consoles can't do (minus blu-ray!)...

I'll wait to see what Nintendo announce... but I can't think what they can do different to beat the other two properly! (Having said that... I'll probably still buy one :D)

Yeah it'll probably be a re-hash of Fifa 11 with a couple more menu's and fancy tricks that are impossible to pull off.

That game is such a rip off but the marketing for it is top notch.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-06-07-wii-u-hands-on

The impressions seem to be overwhelmingly positive. Which is surprising, given that there's only a few simple demos so far and most gaming media outlets usually revel in criticising Nintendo.

This seems to be the best example of the graphics so far. Not sure how it compares to the best of the 360 and PS3.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Shch7LNkVXw

We'll probably have to wait until next year's E3 for Nintendo to bring out the big guns and really show the machine and controller off.

Oh and Maccy, it is compatible with Wii games and all it's accessories/controllers. I don't think it is with Gamcube games though so far. I think the Wii Remote will still play a big part in some games and in conjuction with the new controller.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I only repeated what that Nintendo America dude said, he specifically said 'Wii U will not do that' on that Spike TV show I posted the link to before. I have seen it mentioned elsewhere it would be backwards compatible since that however this is true. They need to sack Reggie tbf.

[Master Splinter]

He may have been talking about upscaling Wii games to HD. Which it won't do. Reggie usually knows his shit tbf. Even though, at the end of the day, he's just a mouthpiece. The only ones at Nintendo who make decisions and know what's going on at all times are Iwata, Miyamoto and a few others. It's like a small family business, which just happens to be the biggest games company in the world.

This video gives a good overview of what the controller can do:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khJbgnnbG7s

There's supposed to be an Assassin's Creed reveal today. Probably a port of the first game, going by Ubisoft's track record.

[Master Splinter]

Hulk Hogan Kinect is out soon. :haha:
A Must Get tbh.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nah it was just a straight question of backwards compatibility asked from someone on Twitter. He was getting a bit of a grilling so I guess I can let him off. If it was to be the first Assassin's Creed it'd probably be fairly apologetically done because that game was pretty tough going, for all of its plus points (I don't mean with regards to how hard the game was) just it was layed out in a really stupid way.

[GP]

I hated the first AC.

So much so that I haven't even bothered with the sequels.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The sequels are roughly a gabillion times better. Although you have to igore idiots with instruments rather than beggars.

[Master Splinter]

Was the first one as good as the hype?

What was the game closest to in style? The comics, the awesome 90s cartoon or the more recent films?

[Marc Overmars]

Yeah it was very good. I bought it because of the hype to see for myself and I wasn't disappointed. The Scarecrow nightmares are pretty fucking cool tbh.

It had a good mix of everything really, the enemies represented a lot of the wackiness you'd expect from the comics and cartoons and Batman himself is very dense just like the recent movies. The story is original as well, rather than just going from a movie template. It's by far and away the best superhero game ever.

[Master Splinter]

It's by far and away the best superhero game ever.
Superman 64 is better.

Seriously though, the Spider-Man games on PS1/Dreamcast were good. And Spider-Man 1 and 2 (based on the films) were too. Other than that though, most movie/tv/cartoon/comic book-based games are always cheap cash-ins.

I dunno, if I were to review it I'd probably give it a 7. It's generally fun but the graphics are pretty shoddy and there is a weird glitch where one of your weapons just dissapears after dropping it. The combat is quite good though. Also props to them for effectively making the game a Half-Life 2 tribute act!

[Cripps_orig]

ANDY GRAY has been dropped from FIFA 12's commentary team - after 14 years in the role.

Gaming giants EA Sports announced that Alan Smith would be replacing the veteran Scot on the next release of the game.
Smith replaces former Sky Sports and FIFA commentator Andy Gray, who was dramatically fired by Sky for making sexist comments about female linesman Sian Massey.
"Alan will bring a fresh, new perspective and insight to FIFA 12, working alongside the trusted and well-known voice of Martin Tyler," said David Rutter, senior producer of FIFA 12.

"As one of the top-tier broadcasters on the UK football scene, he brings enormous knowledge and expert analysis to the game so that we can deliver the most authentic FIFA experience this year." http://pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-e4m3Yko6bFYVc.gif?labels=NewsAndReference,Entertai nmentNewshttp://trgca.opt.fimserve.com/fp.gif?pixelid=287-036699&diresu=556b5c984e01f24e5ac72edc468f65

EA also confirmed the introduction of a second commentary team for FIFA 12, with the duo of Clive Tyldesley and Andy Townsend sharing the mic for tournament gameplay.
"The natural chemistry that Martin and I have developed working live matches for TV has transferred very well to the virtual broadcast booth," said Smith.
Gamers will also have the option to customise the audio to their preferred commentators for any matches.
FIFA 12 will be available on September 30 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, Wii, PS2, 3DS, PSP, iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

A stupid amount of good games are coming out between Sept and Nov. :(

[Thierrymon]

Bought the new Deus Ex game, its good stuff.

The new Gears of War is out soon too. Hopefully its better than the second one, what a let down that was.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I do want Deus Ex but I might leave that as a present somebody can get me for my birthday. :whistle:

I've only played Gears of War sparingly (I don't own it). I can't say I like it in the slightest. I don't have much interest in trying either!

[GP]

My favourite button on the keyboard too.

You need it.

[Rors]

"Might" indeed...! :whistle:

[Marc Overmars]

Anyone have or played the 3DS?

Thinking of getting it for my brothers birthday as he's big on his handheld gaming.

Any decent games out for it and coming out? I know Mario Kart is on it's way soon.

[GP]

Dead Island :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dead Island needed something ridiculous like 36 different problems to fix on day one. :lol:

Still at least they were ready to fix them, unlike say Fallout: New Vegas!

I don't have one yet, but it will probably end up having a hugely impressive, weird and wonderful library like the DS, so it's a no-brainer really.

There's not a big selection so far, but around Christmas all the big-hitters should be out like Mario Kart and the new Super Mario 3D Land and Kid Icarus, Luigi's Mansion 2, Paper Mario and Resident Evil Revelations should follow soon after.

If he's a handheld fan, then I assume he's a Nintendo fan. So the 3D re-makes of Ocarina Of Time and Starfox 64 are Must Gets. Stuff like Pilotwings, Street Fighter, Dead Or Alive, Resident Evil Mercenaries, Ghost Recon and Ridge Racer should all be good, depending on his tastes and you can probably get them cheap now. I think PES is supposed to be good, but it's best to wait until the new version.

And Nintendogs + Cats if he's a gay.

[Thierrymon]

Dead Island :bow:

:good: Although it is very glitchy huh? A lot of big releases coming in the next few months. Picked a good time to quit drinking, lotsa spare cash.

[GP]

New PES demo.

I don't even know how they've made it so bad... truly awful

[Marc Overmars]

Hated Pro these last couple of years, it's so slow and laboured.

FIFA hasn't been much better either.

I certainly don't care much for Football games as much as I used to.

Football games are pretty boring tbh, but at least with FIFA you can ping the ball around.

PES feels like you're kicking a lead weight around on treacle.

PES10 was pretty awesome tbh. As realistic as it gets. Passing great, shooting great.

Only shit thing was penalties.

FIFA, i won 38-0 in the demo v Barca on the hardest level and i only played with one hand.

Pro is as good as it gets when it comes to football games. Cant wait for the new one

ISS 64/98 were the pinnacle of football games.

Free reign to viciously tackle anyone on the pitch.

And most importantly: a game first and a simulation second.

Had a bit of a result at Game earlier, traded in a few games and to my surprise Arkham Asylum (platinum) fetched £10, not bad considering I only paid £12.50 for it.

Nifty trading :bow:.

I once bought some crap games like FIFA Street, a Harry Potter Quidditch game and some NFL game for about 5 quid, just for a laugh.

I got around £15 for each.

Which shops give the best cash/trade-in offers these days? Ebay is probably the best bet for pre-PS2 stuff.

[Marc Overmars]

@ Ach

Yeah, it was awesome, looking forward to Arkham City but I think I'll wait until Christmas for that when I'm free to invest the time it deserves tbf.

That's pretty awesome tbh, I'm sure there are plenty of shite ass titles out there you could make a mini profit on. Might have a look around actually myself!

I always use Game so I'm not too sure about other shops, they always seem to give good value if you put it on their trade-in card. You'll get significantly less though if it's just cash in hand you're after.

Need to go back tomorrow actually and get rid of Metal Gear Solid.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Anybody that is getting Football Manager 2012 (not me), I believe you need Steam downloaded in order for you to be able to play it (at least for the initial activation).

Also, Raskulls. :bow:

Ofcom complaints after ITV ArmA mix-up

UK TV regulator Ofcom has recieved 25 complaints after an ITV documentary mistakenly labelled footage from video game ArmA 2 as a 1988 IRA terrorist attack.

Ofcom is currently "assessing the situation" in response to the objections, reports media news site Journalism.co.uk.

Ofcom told Eurogamer it was still deciding whether to investigate further, and was therefore unable to comment on what any "possible consequences" - if any - might be.

ITV has already apologised over the incident, which it blamed on "an unfortunate case of human error".

The documentary, Exposure: Gaddafi, was pulled from ITV's online catch-up service ITV Player. An updated version with the correct footage will be uploaded in the coming days.

Got FIFA 12 today, I find it very different from recent versions. You can't really just pop it about anymore, it's all very methodical in that every pass has to be directed and weighted properly.

It's not bad though.

I may well continue this run by coming back from Cash Converters with World Snooker Championship 2007 and Top-Spin2. I have also been running through this wikipedia page:

Fuck.

Microsoft :rose:. Don't even support their own games.

cos it never does the day it comes out and you spend the whole day downloading patches and fixes. However have a good graphics card and about 25 versions of that Wixz thingy so here's hoping

Most games I can see that but not FM. Usually works fine release day.

BTW good graphics card isn't going to help much for FM. Lots of RAM and CPU is what you need!

Sega Mega Drive: Ultimate Collection (Classics) (Xbox 360)
POSTED: 11 October 2011
:scarf:

Got that on the PS3

Brilliant games on it

Helluva liuneup, with a few games I've never previously played.
Now if only they could have squeezed World Cup Italia '90 on there...

[Master Splinter]

Sega :lol:.

Still sad to see them reduced to this. It was good to have two gaming giants competing against each other rather than electronics/multimedia/computing giants.

I wonder if we'll be seeing Microsoft Classics Collection on the Samsung Gametab 9.86 in fifteen years time.....

Although 'Classics' would probably only encompass a few Halos and of course, Top Spin 1.

Microsoft's best exlusive games now are probably on XBLA tbf. Too many companies prefer multi-platform releases now, understandable but makes arguing between 360 and PS3 owners a bit redundant.

And SEGA, bless them. Rise of Nightmares will only be second to Hulk Hogan's Main Event in critical panning I suspect.

[Flavs]

The reason most people struggled with the last release was due to the updated 3d game engine surpassing most basic graphics cards.

release day for the last 4 years its not worked for a large portion of people, believe me i know i have been on the chuffing forums trying to get it going.

Still, roll on friday

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deus Ex: Human Revolution only 16.99 on Play.com. :popcorn:

Same on Amazon. Bit odd really, it has sold very well and was only released in late August. :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Instead of these instant price-drops on every non-Nintendo and non-Call Of Duty game, it would probably be better to make games cheaper on the whole. It would make for a better ecosystem, allowing smaller games to do well and it might mean most games sell well outside of the their big opening weeks.

Still, at least we're not paying £60 for Super Street Fighter II and £70 for Turok.

EA Sports signs Messi as global face of FIFA

Lionel Messi, long-time cover star of Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer series, has signed with EA Sports.

The Barcelona forward signed a multi-year contract with EA Sports to become the global face of the FIFA franchise. He makes his debut in March 2012 on the cover of FIFA Street.

Messi, perhaps the greatest footballer ever, was on the cover of PES 2009, PES 2010 and PES 2011. Real Madrid striker Cristiano Ronaldo replaced him for the cover of PES 2012.

"Our FIFA franchise is the number one selling sports videogame franchise in the world, and Lionel Messi is the number one player in the world, so this agreement is a true partnership of superstars," said Matt Bilbey, Vice President and GM of Football, EA SPORTS.

"With Messi on our team we have the world's best and most exciting player to help EA Sports maintain its global leadership in the years ahead."

What did Messi have to say?

"I want to be part of the team behind the best sports football game in the world and be associated with the great EA Sports name," the diminutive wizard offered. "EA Sports is a brand that shares my values of creativity, excellence and social responsibility."

Messi's deal means he is now an EA Sports Football Ambassador. Expect to see his face on marketing and advertising campaigns, packaging and in social media for all things FIFA.

What will big FIFA fan Wayne Rooney, who has been on the cover of the main FIFA series since FIFA 06, have to say?



http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-11-24-ea-sports-signs-messi-as-global-face-of-fifa

We get 40m, but the board take 35m without informing you.And people say games arent like real life :rolleyes:

[Cripps_orig]

Anyway as soon as its downloaded in a couple of hours, il start with a piss poor team. Il need to buy good quality players for cheap. Gone are the days where i could buy a Ljungberg from whatever Swedish club he was at for cheap and make him great or a Sneijder from Ajax for cheap.

Keeper needed for sure, back up RB and CB, is Gibbs as injury prone in the game? Wait, do we even start off with Santos, Mert etc?

[Marc Overmars]

Just sent an angry email to Play.com. This morning I got an email advertising Arkham City for £17.99, I couldn't purchase it because I was at work. Just got home planning to snap it up but now it's returned to full price, despite the email implying the offer will end at midnight.

Cunts. :angry:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bastards. It'll soon be £17.99 again though probably, maybe you'll have to wait until January though.

So, the Boy's got the xbox, I've already got a live account, we've got a gold membership, so all I need now is a billing address, but what's this? I don't live in the United States I live in the UK but it won't let me fucking change it and we're stuck until we get some fucking answers and I swear to god that there will be multiple deaths very soon and you Microsoft, yes you, will be responsible.

THREE hundred furious staff at a factory that builds Xbox 360s have said they will commit mass suicide if their wage demands are not met, it emerged today.
Employees at electronic giant Foxconn said the company has failed to give them money it had promised.

Angry workers at the plant, which makes components for Apple, Dell, Nintendo and Sony, then threatened to throw themselves off the top of the company's HQ.

Disaster in Wuhan, China, was only prevented after the local mayor intervened and talked the factory workers back from the edge.

The row came after staff threatened to go on strike if they did not get a pay increase for 100 workers.

Foxconn management reportedly refused the request and told employees they could either quit with one month's pay or go back to work.

Many quit but Foxconn then allegedly went back on their pledge and paid them nothing.

Around 300 workers returned to the plant and staged their protest on the roof on January 3.


A spokesman for Microsoft, the owner of the Xbox 360 brand, told CBS Seattle: "Microsoft takes working conditions in the factories that manufacture its products very seriously, and we are currently investigating this issue.

"We have a stringent Vendor Code of Conduct that spells out our expectations, and we monitor working conditions closely on an on-going basis and address issues as they emerge.

"Microsoft is committed to the fair treatment and safety of workers employed by our vendors, and to ensuring conformance with Microsoft policy."

Foxconn came under fire in 2010 when workers committed suicide in a plant that manufactured components for Apple.

Cheers. . .but anyone got any views on how good the management mode of FIFA is?

[Marc Overmars]

It's fine, but for me I prefer the simulation aspect of FM, which is why I'd go for that.

On FIFA you could probably win the league with most teams from the off, as it's about how well we play the game and not really what sort of team we could build.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

FM it is then. . .just need to find someone to go to the shops to pick a copy up and send it over. . . .Muuuuumm!
