The Gaming Lounge: Beyond - Part 3

[ProjectPat2280]

The exclusives are sucked this year.

Halo 4 will be cool i guess. Kind of enjoyed the last ones, altho they've never been able to keep my attention long with other online shooters out there. The Last of Us will hopefully be pretty neat.

 

[Donut]

I have decided to take a break from FPS / Shooters this Summer. Want to get back into more RPG Games

 

[Benstamania]

Halo 4 and the Last of Us are my most wanted games. I don't play anything online like I play Halo. Never have.

Dead Space 3 Listed For Pre-Order On Retail Site

I hope the early reports of that game are true. That it takes place on an arctic planet. I mean Dead Space is damn near a Thing spinoff, go ahead and give it the arctic setting it deserves

Yes! I just rewatched the Thing on the weekend & I have to agree with this.

 

[Crockett]

An arctic setting would be spectacular, visually. I also hope it's true that they'll be using the 2.0 version of the Frostbite engine.

 

[Wolfwood]

I don't know if anyone remembers when I said I saw a game that probably wouldn't be announced till E3. Well it just leaked the other day.

 

[jacobed]

I hope they're not using frostbite engine, everything looks so plasticy with that. The visceral engine worked amazing in Dead Space 2 and made it probably the one of if not the best looking game last year.

 

[Wolfwood]

I hope Ellie comes back again and survives. Such a badass heroine.

How the Tech Parade Passed Sony By. New York Times article.

Not specific to their games division, just their general outlook as a whole. Doesnt look good according to the NYT.

 

[Alchemyst]

Just had a weird idea, they keep churning out these Dragonball games, why don't they just make a full on multiplayer Dragonball game? It should have DM and TDM, prolly would be pretty cool to unload 20 rounds of fireballs into someone, just a thought.

Their problem is that they're far too unfocused and they still think the name "Sony" carries the same weight it did in the 80s and 90s. They think they're on the same level as Apple, when really they're more of an LG, if that.

I hope Kaz's strategy works out because if they sustain the kind of losses they've been taking year after year, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they were no longer around ten years from now.

Yea i agree. I thought the line in the article where they stated how Sony releases 10 different versions of a product yet none claim to feature the most current and industry leading tech where as Apple will give you two different colors of the same product and claim its the best on the market was quite an interesting way to look at some of their problems.

Adam Sessler, the only credibility G4 had, is no longer with them. Hope he ends up somewhere nice.

[Soapy]

I haven't watched G4 in years, but Sess has definitely been the only good thing about it for a long, long time.

Well, him and Ninja Warrior.

I always liked him, so I hope he lands someplace where I can see more of him.

 

[Havok83]

I hated his voice

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Wow, I never thought I'd see Sessler leave. I figured they'd just promote him again if he got antsy.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

I hated his voice

Yea, i felt it was kind of grating.

I like the playboy chick from that network.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I really like Olivia Munn's replacement on Attack of the Show. It's like they knew Olivia Munn sucked at pretending to be a dork on that show, so they went in totally the opposite direction and found a super-dork who just happened to be hot to replace her.

 

[Soapy]

I pretty much stopped watching AOTS after Olivia Munn replaced Sarah Lane.

Iv never watched much of AOTS. I always hated both hosts, Munn moreso than Perreria(or whatever). I tuned back in for a bit when she left the show but outside of that one chick(sara underwood i believe), the show couldn't hold my interest.

Sessler was the only one that made G4 worth watching /reading.

Hopefully he joins Giant Bomb or brings back TechTV

 

[Soapy]

I think Twit TV is kind of the spiritual successor to TechTV.

Sessler gets on great with the Giant Bomb guys, but I think he would be a better fit on ShackNews/Weekend Confirmed.

Edit: I don't know why, but I just got the urge to post this Giant Bomb "Last Supper" pic.

[KALEL114]

I really enjoyed his Soapbox segments. Hope he continues those in some way.
