But you cant control live action. Digital actors is the future, I love playing a game and seeing well known actors in the roles. In the trailers I see all sorts of actors like Denethor from LOTR (now Fringe), a bunch of people from Mad Men, etc. It will help gaming grow and be more accepted. There will come a day where games will star big time actors, you will have a game with Matt Damon and Natalie Portman in the leading roles. Obviously its not for all games but it will be great for the kinds of games Rockstar likes to make.

We already had that era when Bruce Willis was starring in games.

That's it I'm done with GAF.

Amir0x was going about his usual trolling derailing bullshit and when I, along with someone else, called him out on it, I get banned.

"You have been banned for the following reason:




False troll accusations; discuss positions, not posters.

Date the ban will be lifted: 06-15-2011, 02:00 PM"

This site has really gone to shit.

Seriously read this shit, how is this NOT trolling?

Yes I know its "against the rules" but how is a fucking MODERATOR trolling and derailing a thread for hundreds upon hundreds of posts not ban worthy or at least demotion worthy?

Amirox gets away with some horrible shit just because he's a mod. He talks crap most of time and if you say it like it is you get banned or some crap. I have never bothered with his stuff and just scroll right past it.

Not bad pig, not bad.

I see you Edge.

There's nothing worse than a last-word-freak who also happens to be a mod.

Skylock at gamespot who was in most ways a very logical person and a fair guy and good mod was sadly also very much a last-word-freak.  One time I couldn't help but tell him and I got a ban for my effort which was nothing more than I expected

Thanks for the Mizuguchi interview.  I watched it just now (all 20 mins of it).  I wish the interviewers were a bit more competent as most of that time is wasted by them asking rubbish.

• He doesn't really come and say in a direct way what the game (and the gameplay) is about.  By the looks and sounds of it it seems like a sequel to Rez (except it looks like the drug of choice this time was possibly ecstasy as opposed to acid).  You shoot things with a reticule on what looks to be a preset course.  If you time things right the sound effects become part of the music and along with the resulting vibrations and visuals give you a feeling of "synaesthesia" ie all the senses working together (apparently the game also tastes sweet and smells like vanilla).  So yeah, much like Rez.
• You can play the game with the 360 controller so it's not Kinect only...  Phew (I love you Mizuguchi ... but I'm not buying Kinect).  Just in the same way that Rez plays.
• With Kinect you play as a "conductor" ... apparently.  I still don't know exactly how.  The guy playing looks like he's waving about with explosions happening on screen.  The way M talks about it also seems to be like this.  He says that they achieved completely lag-free Kinect gameplay.  I'm not sure if I can believe this yet.  There is definitely lag in the footage shown of the guy playing.
• Apparently when playing with Kinect you can also have a controller in your pocket (or more than one) to feel the vibrations and be more into the synaesthesia.  Mizuguchi's favourite way of playing is with Kinect whilst wearing a corset into which he can fit 4 xbox controllers
• 360 version coming in June
• PS3 version he still hasn't decided exactly how it will play.  He is not sure how to use the Move controller and the 3D camera though he has several ideas.
• PS3 version coming in September

Hey, assholes. Easy on my homie Skitch.

To be honest, it always gave me the impression that's the way he was in practically every aspect of his life. I don't think that had anything to do with him being a mod. He was a pretty cool guy, though, even though now he won't answer my PMs over Xbox Live. That really hurt. ;_;

Gears LE Detailed

A press release sent out today reveals two special editions of Epic's finale to the Gears of War trilogy, named the Limited Edition and Epic Edition (pictured above), both of which will contain a mix of collectible items and downloadable content. So, that's three options for those seeking to purchase Gears of War 3, with the standalone game costing $59.99, the Limited Edition at $79.99, and the Epic Edition priced at $149.99 (though it will contain all contents from the Limited Edition as well). Here's a breakdown of the contents, quoted from the press release:

Limited Edition ($79.99)

I'll take the regular copy please....which in and off itself is too damn expensive.

Speaking of limited editions.....here's the limited edition version of Morbid Angel's new CD, available on Seasons-Of-Mist:

Steel, this will only set you back $200.

Certainly sounds like it could be GOTY material.  I'm definitely picking this up at the start of summer.
