A few similar tweets turned up too.

I feel like this was Reggie's panicked response when he realized how utterly boring their presentation was. He just saw that they had nothing new to show and were presenting the games in a terrible fashion, and thought that he had to do something to salvage it.

The information isn't from twitter, it was announced on the floor or at one of Nintendo's many non televised press conferences.

They do this every year, and everyone looks back and says AWH MAN NINTENDO WON THAT YEAR, meanwhile their televised conference was shit.

Oh, it's you. I thought you got eaten by Skyrim, so I took the liberty of taking all your stuff. Blush

Weren't all of the non-televised things attended by dozens of people liveblogging the shit out of everything? Also, how many press conferences did they do? They had one on Sunday with Iwata, the one for the Wii U and the round table thing on Tuesday, and the 3DS conference yesterday.

They had two conferences actually, and the developers round table, and they would come out during playtesting and stuff to talk.

Didn't he leave because of a combination of school becoming increasingly important (which I imagine is over now) and the rest of his free time being swallowed by Skyrim?

That sounds right.

I just felt like saying....oops. I haven't been to MB in what? Like two weeks? 0_o Where'd I go?

Bacon Bandit Posts : 222 Join date : 2011-09-09

That is a good question.

Where did you go?

Admin Posts : 6953 Join date : 2010-01-13 Age : 132

Nowhere

Nowhere is a crazy place man.

Bacon Bandit Posts : 222 Join date : 2011-09-09

The Middle of Nowhere?

I now own a PS3.

My body is ready for Ellen Page the Video Game.
I gotta get Heavy Rain first though. What's pissing me off is I can't seem to find it anywhere. Gonna have to order from Amazon or something.

You also need to get all the Uncharteds and tell me how amazing they are because they are the first things I am getting when I get a PS3 whenever that is (probably in a couple years)

I got Uncharted and Uncharted 2 with my PS3.
Uncharted is good. The graphics aren't as amazing as they could be (I was surprised. Most of my 360 games look better than this), but the animations are generally fantastic. The only real complaints I have are with the aiming (the reticle is too large, so it makes aiming at precise areas tough), coupled with the fact that the only "real" way to kill enemies is to headshot them between the eyes makes killing enemies a pain in the quack my stingray bloo unless you have godlike aiming (which is tough given the weird movements the enemies make to dodge fire and whatnot).

I mean, you could kill them with body shots, but it takes an abnormally large amount of shots to kill them. I'm pretty sure if I shot someone with a full AK47 clip in the gut, they'd be dead. According to Uncharted though? Barely a scratch.
Couple that with the fact that the enemies aggressively flank you, so that when you're dealing with a large group of enemies, you can get stuck fighting one or two enemies because you can't seem to hit them in the head (even though you have the reticle on their face) while a few others flank around you and kill you.

From what I hear though, Uncharted 2 and 3 fix that though, so whatever. But like I said, aside from that complaint, Uncharted has been fantastic so far. Like all the best parts of Indiana Jones and the Monkey Island series (although Uncharted isn't a comedy, but it's got a GREAT sense of humor), as well as some Pirates of the Caribbean.

Most 360 games look better because Microsoft designed the 360 to have ALL games upscale to 1080i while a PS3 game has to be specifically designed for it, leaving the display to take care of the upscaling resulting in a not as clean of a picture.

Basically the 360 just makes things not designed to play in 1080i look nicer on a 1080i display than a PS3 does.

All that aside I like the PS3 more overall at the moment.
