GAMING NEWS PART DEUX

Bethesda's holding their first E3 conference this year.

Fallout 4 must be a lock, right?

If they don't it'll be an odd move. Not sure they're big enough/release enough games to warrant a conference, but I won't complain! The more E3 the merrier I say!

There could be an Elder Scrolls/Fallout double whammy. It has been almost 4 years since Skyrim...

They also publish quite a few things as well

So could see
Fallout Bore
TES VI
Doom 4
Dishonored 2
for instance

A interesting bit of news Bioware has cancelled Shadow Realms

"Gamergate"?  It did make a tiny appearance, possibly in Off-Topic actually.  But it was a while after the event, and was generally discussed in a civilised manner, and quickly dropped.  

The Nicest Corner of the Internet, indeed.

I have something I have to get off my chest, I disagree and feel like I've been bullied at every turn for absolutely no reason.

Nicest corner of the internet? More like Bully central of the internet.



only kidding.

Says the man behind the overuse of the George of the Jungle laughter .gif.

Andy's a fan of TowerFall, right?  He should enjoy this, then.

It seems that Towerfalls cute art style can withstand even a nob like Sarkeesian. Tbh I wouldn't recognise it as her without it being said. On the plus side we can now fill her irritating face with arrows

The gaming news thread has touched down in its new home!

Should this now be used for smaller news things with the thread now.

I'm assuming (perhaps Stu can clarify?) that we'd use this thread for the smaller stories, and then the ones that can generate more conversation get their own.  Like the eShop threads.

Yeah, that sounds sensible to me. Just use your judgement. Even then, some seemingly trifling stories can generate unexpected levels of conversation.

Jimbob make us a New GEX game

Nope nope nope... but he is above Crash Bandicoot in the Mascot Graph. if there isn't a new Banjo game first...
Hmmm... maybe there should be some Project X Zone crossover game with all of the forgotten 3D mascots: Gex, Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, Jak and Daxter... Rocket Robot on Wheels...

Unless I can give Gex a yellow jumper and skinny jeans.

Well we are kinda getting a new Banjo in Project Ukulele and I wouldn't be surprised if we see a new crash bandicoot at some point.

I feel a bit for Spyro gets a new game and then the Skylanders name takes over it.

Took me way too long to see that and started worryingly trying to work out what I might've said to you...

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I think you might have to buy the PS3 version at this rate Jay

Also anyone else seen that Lionsgate has put some money into Telltale enough for a LG person to be on the board and the New IP that is coming will be a joint Super Show where the TV Show & Game share a story in some way.

Looking like it. If it's not a good port, then Rockstar are going to get thoroughly lambasted for this. I can only hope the reason for the delay is due to them ironing out kinks in the port... probably not though.

The successor to the PC will be announced before it comes out at this rate.

Maybe they're working on bonus goodies to reimburse late PC adopters?

I was hoping at least someone would miss that.

It's those bloody online Heists that are holding everything up, even though I'm glad they basically started over on them so they could be the best they could be (hopefully) it just holds up everything else as they admitted that one teams works on all aspects of GTAV rather than splitting into teams to carry certain loads.

Does this mean Stu gets to choose the forum's lottery numbers this week?

The PS2 turned 15 yesterday, I've said before not one of my fav consoles as I didn't feel it had the content for me which I couldn't get on XBox or Cube but hey it was getting for MGS2 back in the day.

I loved my PS2. One of my favourite periods of gaming - that and the Cube gave me many a happy gaming memory.

Yeah it was good for all those JRPGS, PS3 the same hopefully PS4 will follow suit but wasn't my cup of tea & didn't seem much else which wasn't better on Xbox.

But news the only GOTY award I think that is worth taking notice of is the GDC one as devs vote for it and quite a few of them went to
Shadow of Mordor

Shadow of Mordor really was surprisingly good, and it's all down to the Nemesis system. I'd expect similar design choices to start popping up in game soon.
