There wasn't really anything shown that interests me, the only thing which might is Rayman Origins simply because I like platformers. I'm not familiar with the Rayman series, at least, outside of the Rabbids.

What about Tin Tin? that looked like a platformer.

Looks like I'll get to watch about 15-25 minutes of Sony's Press Conference before I have to do other things, so I'll have to catch the rest on highlights and when Sony posts the thing on PSN.

I watched both the trailer and demo footage of the new Tomb Raider game, and it still looks pretty cool so far. I also liked the trailer for Overstrike, though I notice that Insomniac seems to be "borrowing" weapons from other properties (the sticky inflating ball gun from The Incredibles), even their own Resistance franchise's Auger.

Re: MS presser, I have an implacable hatred for Don Mattrick. He is the smarmiest guy around. Reminds me of that '80s guy from Futurama but without the awesome.

MS conference was pathetic. I can't remember the last time there was a decent showing from any of the three. Makes me wonder why I get up at 2am to watch the garbage. So glad Sony's is on at a decent hour!

I didn't catch it. Maybe I'll look for it later once everything from the conference is sorted out.

Yeah, the trailer was so short it was blink-and-you-miss-it. I was in the middle of a page refresh at the time and could only catch the last 10 seconds or so of it.

Microsoft's press conference didn't impress me much. I couldn't care less about Halo Anniversary or Halo 4 since I can't play either without wanting to vomit (for no real fault of its own, I just get horrible, horrible headaches).

Gears is jawesome but it's Gears. Been there, done that. Still excited though.

Tomb Raider impresses me and I'm not a Tomb Raider fan. That's probably why I was impressed. This reboot is nothing like the previous games. I don't think they went to far with the vulnerable/naive Lara. Not yet, anyway. She reacted exactly how I would expect anyone except Batman would react in a similar situation. For an intro level, sure, I buy it. Within an hour or so, I expect Lara to not be so panicky. This is multiplatform so I hope Square Enix and Nintendo announce it for Cafe tomorrow.

I'm pretty sure it was a minute or 2 long as it had commentary from Spielberg and everything.

Exactly my thoughts. I mean she was impaled as well, you don't just shake that off so easily. I sort of got an Uncharted vibe from the demo, which of course is a good thing. Plus Lara Croft is really hot this time. Day 1 purchase

Grrr, I can't get onto Playstation Home to watch the conference. Stupid Sony not anticipating the demand. Guess I'm staying on GTTV.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #310 on:** June 06, 2011, 08:07:44 PM »

Sony COnference just started

and it's not starting out in the conference room...

broodwars · « **Reply #311 on:** June 06, 2011, 08:10:11 PM »

As usual, Sony's late in starting their Press Conference. Thanks, Sony. Maybe I'll get to watch their introductory promo reel now. $:-\$

They're doing a "red carpet" outside the conference interview style show right now.

PSN Network outage being addressed.

Great... Now I'm part of 2 dysfunctional families... The one that won't give me time and the one that can't get it right.

This guy has a bad shirt and tie.

Enner · « **Reply #318 on:** June 06, 2011, 08:26:54 PM »

That was a short apology that didn't sound like an apology.

Dasmos · « **Reply #319 on:** June 06, 2011, 08:27:18 PM »

**** yeah, Uncharted. I might just turn it off after this.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #320 on:** June 06, 2011, 08:28:12 PM »

Finally onto the games!

ShyGuy · « **Reply #321 on:** June 06, 2011, 08:28:43 PM »

uncharted. HO-HUM

Ceric · « **Reply #322 on:** June 06, 2011, 08:29:25 PM »

Not Live TV though but, I do agree that the platform is probably more of a value now.

On the Shirt and Tie I think its a power combo.

Stealth... That right their made it so I don't want to touch uncharted...

Adrock · « **Reply #323 on:** June 06, 2011, 08:31:10 PM »

Uncharted 3 looks good, more of the same just with grander set pieces. I'll probably get it even if it probably won't wow me as much as Among Thieves. To be fair, it's an extremely tough act to follow. That game was so good.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #324 on:** June 06, 2011, 08:31:55 PM »

Kinda funny how the water pools at that weird angle...
