I hate apple & iphone more than samsung & android anyway...

My wife just talked me into getting a galaxy S3... O_O i'm such a prostitute haha. She could sell sand to an Arab i swear! I didn't even want one, but she managed change my mind. Now i'm stuck with it for 2 years i might as well make the best of it... *downloads GTA 3* I got some brushed metal brown looking one.

Zombies could make a good co-op game though...

Yep previews always come before reviews. R* do it their way, leaving the reviewers so excited, they shit through their ears. Then they go and write something beautiful about GTA, thus booting the hype machine!

Someone pass the tissues. I've been saving this since the last screens!

This sort of thing makes me sick! But, it's got some good ideas of what we could expect if we actually manage t get filthy rich, and own mansions, mega-yachts, private jets, and more, all across the V map! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lt89AYksS5k

Interesting video angeal. I like the look of the 'create a pay-per-view' and stuff. I've not honestly bought a wrestling game since Smackdown. And this one has me interested...

As much as i like Zobies, there is a time and a place for them. And GTA V isn't right for it. There is a lot of room in LS for fictional shenanigans, but as mentioned above, they've done the zombie theme in IV multiplayer.

Nice cats (and house) gtagrl I also like the look of merlin, pretty sophisticated looking feline.

Hmm, good topic. SA had taggin', horseshoes, oysters and snapshots. Maybe we can see the snapshots making a comeback. I also think we'll have some sort of bird or other game to kill.

I have to agree. Dwarf had a time and place. Seeing it in the 2010's is a bit weird, considering they've aged a lot. It seems like their lines feel a bit more forced, where-as they used to be a lot more natural at it in their prime. Don't get me wrong, i still enjoyed the new episode, it had me lol a couple of times, but it's near impossible to make old-hat new again. The resentment faces were funny as hell i must admit.

I've never pre-ordered a GTA game and I never will. I'm one of those guys who will queue up at midnight in a run down part of town hoping to collect a copy whilst muggers lurk outside ready to shank me for it. It's totally worth it.

I could have sworn i saw a thread for this a while back...? Maybe i saw some images/footage in the Fallout or Skyrim thread. This is a great little interactive trailer, i guess you'd call it. It shows off the gameplay in first person, giving you choices in which to make. Meh, just watch it! I saw this game at Eurogamer, but didn't have the time to play it. I watched people playing it as i walked by, and it looked pretty decent from what i saw.

They may as well just chuck a city landscape over the RDR map if they're willing to add mexico. I do like the idea of diverse countrysides though. Like maybe some mountains in one part, then canyons in another part etc, with rural villages speckled between them.

I dunno, i found it when i was 'googlin' original aspect ratios and it made me lol, so i added it.

I love this guy, he speaks the truth imho: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7WGMGHNHfw

I agree 100%. The HD remastered version is amazing. I can't get my head around the process, although i know it involves projecting the old film reels at a higher def using digital technology, and then lots of grading. I just can't understand how they managed to get it so crisp. I guess that goes to show, old film negatives can be projected quite high res. I might have to go back and look for some old negatives from my younger days and see if i can get them printed with digital technology. You also mentioned the sound which is a good point. I watched this film so much, i used to end up falling asleep towards the end, and then being woken abruptly by the final showdown gun fire in the mansion. They managed to balance the sound effects a lot better this time around, for sure. Trust me Vicey, you'll notice the difference with this film. Like Goodfellas the original was pretty grainy and low quality, also it was interlaced, so you never really had a clear frame, it was always crosshatched with the next. The blu-ray version is so much clearer visually, and the sound is remastered completely. Original: HD:

Someone unfixed it:

----------------------------- Assassins Creed III ----------------------------- After an incredibly long wait (I queued for this one for almost two hours!) i finally sat down and got to play ACIII on PS3. When i picked up the controller, i was given an option of different levels to play, sort of like the animus timelines from previous AC games i guess, but more like galaxy clusters not DNA. The first level i chose was set around some fort, i had to scale the fort from a little wooden boat and climb into the village grounds within the fortified area. Pretty straight forward climb up some muddy rocks, and onto a fort like structure. The graphics look a bit more polished, and the lighting was beautiful. This felt pretty much how AC has always felt, which is good, at least it hasn't changed in the way of movement and climbing mechanics go. I slid down some rope and kicked my way through the window of a barn like building. I went into stealth mode behind a wooden crate as there was some guard patrolling the walkway. I waited until he walked by and took care of him quietly. Continuing down the corridor, i come to a balcony overlooking a high ceiling storage room full of more wooden crates with more guards patrolling. After a bunch of climbing puzzles and lots of wooden platforms in a load of different rooms. I ended up in a heavily guarded living quarters retrieving my objective from a hidden stash under a brick floor. So over that was a pretty standard AC mission. The environments and random conversations between guards heavily reflected the era and made the mission much more fun that I've probably worded it. That only took me 10-15 minutes, so i still had time to start another mission. This time i chose something much more interesting. A navel battle. Straight away i was shoved in control if the ship moving furiously through strong waves weaving between large rocky island formations off the coast of the mainland. The controls were surprisingly easier than i expected, as it seemed like it would take a lot of effort - but no it controlled well. The environments looked beautiful as i wonder between them, and suddenly a ship crossed past in front, and a rail of cannon balls explode straight at me. The physics were amazing, as the balls hit, the impact was relevant people fell back as the ship sort of stopped suddenly only for a split second, which made the impact even more realistic. I started to turn left pressing some commanding buttons as my crew ready my cannons, and then a hail of cannonballs exploded leaving gunpowder dust floating all around, and the balls flail in the direction of the enemy ship as it tries to take cover behind an opposite rocky formation. Before it escapes i manage to get one or two contact hits on the back end of the ship. The ship pops out the other side and starts to float parallel to me. Again cannon balls shoot straight at me, and hit, my screen goes red for a moment. And i shot back. Every cannonball hits, the ship explodes in places, wood rips apart and the boat sinks. Straight behind the last, two more boats are gaining speed. The weather starts changing in real time from sunny to cloudy and raining, with thunder and lighting and the net ship approaches. Again i command the crew to fire at the ship closing in. I hit and then... ... I get told that my time is up! The ships were very easy to maneuver. They still have that sort of weight you'd expect from a heavy ship when turning, but it wasn't bad at all. The whole sense of atmosphere when knotting through the waves was intense, and all the shouting and cannon balls gong off and even sea birds squawking just made it all that much more fun. The commanding crew was fairly straight forward too. You chose what you want the crew to do and they do it really. When choosing a target, you get a sort of way-point to control, you move it across the water surface until you're happy with the placement and then click it and they do everything else for you. Overall i was very impressed with the navel battles. Whether or not it will be as interesting after three or four plays is something i'm concerned about. As long as there is a verity in coastline/sea battle areas i think it will stay interesting. Also, i'm sure if you youtube search 'AC3 navel battle' and 'AC3 Fort Wollcott' you may get some footage of the demo. ----------------------------- Hitman Absolution ----------------------------- Coming soon ----------------------------- Metal Gear Rising ----------------------------- Coming soon

I'm spending more time on that one Nope marney died.

Yep, i had plenty of random pics with MGS fans, and general people, as well as photos with the expo press. There's a chance i'm on the expo website. I've not bothered looking though. More reviews/previews as promised ----------------------------- Far Cry 3 ----------------------------- Lucky for me the queues weren't that long when i arrived at FarCry 3, so i jumped at the chance to play it. The game ran on PC at full settings, so it looked pretty impressive at first sight. I opted for the Xbox controller rather than the keyboard, as i always prefer a controller in hand. So, i dive in, and i'm sitting in the middle of an amazing vista surrounded by large hills, mountains and loads of trees and grass, all looking beautiful. I start walking, the movement feels good, and the cross-hair moves fluidly. I'm instructed to go repair some signal tower without going into any details, i start heading in that direction. Sprinting through loads of tall grass i happen upon a little village where i find a rusty little car that reminds me of an old fiat. I steal it of course, and drive off-road towards my goal. The car handling was also very good. And felt like i was driving on mud rather than asphalt. After i had fulfilled my mission parameters i went on a freeroam and managed to find a cliff face with an ocean beyond. I was lucky enough to have found a Wind-glider sitting on the edge of a cliff, so i was on that shit! This looked amazing, gliding felt easy, and relaxing as i took in the sight. I started gliding towards a nearby small island out to sea. When i got there, i found a few secrets (wont spoil anything), and then i wondered to the other side to find myself a conveniently placed Jet Ski. So i climbed on and started riding the waves towards another, much larger looking island. The Jet ski drove well, as expected by now, and then.... ...i get a red screen. I was a bit confused as first, i thought i triggered a cutscene or something, until one of the dev guys came up to me and apologized, and told me that it had froze. Apparently this had only happened to two other PC's on the Far Cry computers since the opening. And Said that this wouldn't normally happen under normal circumstances, it was the heat of all the PC's beside each other, running all day for four days straight. Anyway, apart from the obvious major fuck up, i think the game was really impressive to play. It had that sandbox immersion that most people crave. The feeling of wanting to know what is ove that next hill. The controls were in my opinion flawless, and really complimented the visual side of things. An the sound and graphics were top of the range. I wasn't even considering getting this game straight away before playing, now i'm definitely going to consider buying it day one if i can afford it. ----------------------------- Crysis 3 ----------------------------- So after queuing for what felt like hours, i finally got my hands on Crysis 3. It wasn't actually story/campaign mode as i was hoping, but at least i got my hands on it. They chucked a bunch of us into a competitive game called 'Hunter' Mode, Where merc-ops had to fight it out against some invisible stealth hunters. The game was very biased, in that it favoured the hunters a lot. Once killed as a merc-op, you become a hunter, so it's like infected mode in zombie mods i guess. The hunters got to use the carbine bow which was beyond powerful. Anyway, mechanics. The controls felt a little awkward to start with. I don't know if this was because i was playing on an xbox or not, as i had no idea which button did what to start with. Either way, the characters felt a little slow wondering around the map, even when sprinting. The weapon firing was pretty good. The carbine bow had the best feel to it, as each shot felt like it had the impact behind it. The map was an interesting overgrown post-apoc city environment, and had multiple platforms to shot from, which is always good for advantage/disadvantage points. The map lacked some iconic areas if i'm honest. Most games that have competitive maps always have that memorable part. Maybe it was my lack of gameplay or maybe not, i dunno. I just felt like the whole map looked the same... After about 5-10 minutes i was pretty used to the controls and setup and started climbing the scoreboard. In the end, my team won the mach and got free Crysis 3 T-shirts for winning. So this didn't really help me in knowing anything about the main game, so i can't really swing my opinion in any direction other than the multiplayer was okay, not amazing. ----------------------------- Metal Gear Rising ----------------------------- Coming soon ----------------------------- Assassins Creed III ----------------------------- Coming soon ----------------------------- Hitman Absolution ----------------------------- Coming soon

Ah yeah. Jack was the tall guy with the beanie on in those pics. He plays Diablo 3 with your Digz Wizard friend all the time. As do I on occasions. We met up there with a few friends.

Fagbook?
