The E3 2010 Thread

[Surf314]

PA's synopsis is that steam on PS3 is a big fucking deal and also means that Valve DLC will be free on PS3 and will probably be on 360 too as they have a policy not to charge for things that are free on other consoles.

So this is bigger than I thought. Non-console people will care less though.

Also, watching the Nintendo Conference right now... anyone else see how much it fails to detect the motions on the new Zelda? It barley ever accuracy detects the swing and he has a hard time just trying to kill a damn deku baba. You would think Miyamoto-san would be able to play his own game, but it took him 3 and a half swings just to throw a bomb.

Yeah, I was laughing at that while watching it yesterday, but if you watch some of the show floor demos from later that day it looks like it works pretty well normally.

Is it just me, or is anyone else digging the music in the Portal 2 trailer?

Music's awesome.

They said there was interference on the stage or something. All that matters is hands-on impressions from the show floor are all positive.

[/quote]Later at the round-table they confirmed that there was some sort of interference on stage and that they hoped it wouldn't happen on the floor like it did on stage, and that earlier tests were fine.

I think I'm going to enjoy the new Zelda. It really looks like they got it right with the new art style and controls.

[/quote]It wasn't interference, it was the lighting on the stage.  Light right on the sensor bar fucks everything up.

Dat don't make sense though because his problems were related to things controlled with motion, not pointing.

[/quote]The wiiremote sensor is still pointing at the sensor bar, if there is light on the sensor bar it interferes with it. I had the same exact problem with Red Steel 2 where the sword controls are very similar to Skyward Sword and it would fuck up whenever I had lights on that were near the sensor bar.

And I'm saying that the sensor bar does jack shit for controls based on motion ):<

[/quote]The sensor tracks the location while the MotionPlus tracks the Z-axis, therefore without the sensor bar you only have 1/3 of the motion tracking, and waggling from left to right wouldn't necessarily make it go left to right on screen.

But how do we pull off such a thing?

[beep beep diglett]

no

[[fr31ns]Karrde]

Ok, that does it.  I now officially need a Wii.  They've finally hit that "There's too many good games" threshold.

care to elaborate? I have been doing my usual: paying no attention to E3 for no reason.

[[fr31ns]Karrde]

In general, what's at E3 notwithstanding.  Metroid prime games, Red steel 1 and 2, Zelda, mario kart, blaster master, muscle march, epic mickey, various others.

Broken Pixels Episode 5 (1/3)

[Chief]

red steel was good when it first released, but then the disc was faulty so i never got to finish it
now i just think its a gimmick really

[[fr31ns]Karrde]

I heard it's fun despite the bugginess.  RS2 apparently did it much better tho.

its fun cause you can make fun of the game the whole time you play, kinda like Superman 64.
