1993? It looks like the photos are from 1973?

That's nothing new, they all discussed Wii U and UE3 at GDC. Apparently Rein reckons most next gen games, PS4/Nextbox included will use UE3 for the first couple of years anyway and that it didn't matter if a system couldn't do UE4 as they could just use UE3 with 'Samaritan level sizzle' as he put it. Remember only the $1000 Keplar graphics card can run UE4 in its current state. No doubt any version of UE4 consoles will receive will be a pared down version kinda like how PCs can run UE3 far better than current gen consoles.

Yeah.  New Super Mario Bros. 2 doesn't make me feel warm and fuzzy inside ...

Also something about the word New and the number 2 being in the same title comes across as an oxymoron

Bugsy, is your sig from Bored to Death?

Here's your 3DS Castlevania Lords of Shadow, also it looks like LOS2 may be coming to Wii U

- involves Trevor Belmont



- Fight with Trevor's version of the Combat Cross



- strong attacks with X



- wider-reaching attacks with Y



- secondary weapons like the boomerang-like glaive and electric bomb



- use these with A



- grab enemies with R



- block and dodge with L



- involves light and shadow magic returns



- earn experience points to unlock new combos



- these include launching foes into the air, smashing enemies down to the ground and more



- includes skeletons, axe-wielding undead and more

I played a few 3DS demos.

Rayman Origins........ ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. They really just ported it straight across, Rayman is 3 mm high, you can barely see him. Now I understand why EAD made Super Mario 3DLand so close. The 3D is cool but the backgrounds seem like medium resolution photos, ugh. Do not buy this on this platform.

Tried out DOA Dimensions, cool graphics and 3D effect, framerate in 3D isn't perfect but not noticibly bad either. Seems like a good game if you are into fighters.

Mario and Sonic 2012 is fun, throwaway stuff, no one here will want to buy it but its half decent to dick around with on a demo.

Rhythm Theif was pretty awesome. Cool music, fun gameplay nice gameworld and quite funny too. Bugs do you have anymore impressions of the game yet? I love that statue bit and the combat.

Just heard this awesome quote while watching Tim Jackson speak about a economic reality check. His awesome quote about consumerism I just have to share.

"This is a strange rather perverse story. Let me put it this way in very simple terms. It's a story about us people, being persuaded to spend money we don't have, on things we don't need to create impressions that won’t last on people we don't care about". - Tim Jackson

Carry on with your worthless lives. Iga over and out.

I could have told you that but I assumed you knew it already

I knew it, but Tim said it beautifully.

Projekt CD's new RPG is in the future:

UE4 will work on the next gen consoles. Epic is not iD, they actually want companies to license their engines -- it is their primary business.  You can bank on UE4 game from Epic close to launch of the next Xbox and or Playstation.

I like the idea of a Cyber-punk RPG.  Fallout 3 could have been that but ... no

In the meantime, here's some pics of me playing:

Anyone find a good listing of the E3 conferences? I keep turning up prior years.

EDIT:Never mind. Found it by looking around:
