Battlefield 3, first footage of jets and first extended footage to the public of a sprawling map (PC footage). Get ready to put down for a new graphics card! First time in three years I've been able to say that. Kinda feels good?




link to first direct feed (though standard res) of PS3 footage. Only shows a night time co-op level, probably to hide major differences, still looks darn good (graphically) and compares favorably to first party titles like Killzone. We have yet to see Multiplayer footage for the consoles, though.

New Devil May Cry


while its possible they could have some tricks up their sleeves, it looks as if they are playing it very safe, aside from Dante's redesign. Hilariously and also most stupidly, his devil trigger form is basically original silver haired Dante. I think its probably too late in the game to complain enough to get them to actually turn in some real devil monster designs?

[Takashi]

I will never be able to play Battelfield 3 due to the fact I'm really bad at flying a plane with a mouse (and just slightly better with a controller), but damn if that's not nice and strangely blue-skies.

EDIT: As for DMC isn't that really, really, similar to the Bayonetta level design? The reasons are obvious, but maybe they could have picked something that isn't "generic european town with a fountain" to show off their engine. Also crates.

In Battlefield 2 it was common for people to have a flight-stick connected to switch over to for flying.

is BF3 only W7 compatible? or do you not even have Vista????

[notbov]

BF3 is DX10+ only (no DX9/XP support) and I was still on XP at the time. I'm on 7 now, so I'm set for beta and retail. Also, I've used Vista enough to know that I don't want to use it anymore.

Gamescom Day 0 News Roundup + Dev Tweets for BF3
http://planetbattlefield.gamespy.com/fullstory.php?id=165285

[Monochrome]

I guess this is where to mention that Valve's Dota 2 is being publically shown for the first time in the form of a million-dollar tournament in just a few minutes.

Hype level: impossible to determine.

http://dota2.com/tournaments/international/

[negativedge]

hype level: enough that the site won't load

[Monochrome]

I meant hype more in the scoops Haagen Dasz sense, but yeah I'm not surprised. It won't tell me how many people are watching. The LoL finals at Dreamhack had like 100,000 simultaneous viewers.

edit: apparently this is working for some people

http://www.own3d.tv/live/102577/Dota_2_Gamescom_English_Commentary

edit 2: still looping an animated placard for the first match of the day. even their tournaments are on valve time

[Ronnoc]

I have yet to understand the appeal of watching DOTA games, but I'll probably watch the bugger :3

On the RTS front, Relic is supposed to announce their next game at Gamescome. I'm betting on Homeworld 3, myself.

[negativedge]

so apparently dota spectating begins with three hours on the character select screen. riveting

[Monochrome]

Oh hey -- scroll down on the stream window. The team's character selections are automatically(?) added to the page along with descriptions of them.

As I am typing this, the steam's connection to the game lags out for a few seconds. Oh well, no worse than the LoL tournament.

edit Okay maybe it is worse at this point.

I shouldn't be up this late anyway.

[negativedge]

whatever, off to the GSL for me

[P1d40n3]

Haha they shut off the stream. Someone call Spooky!!!

Are they...are they ever gonna show actual gameplay? Ya know, with the real HUD and the real camera and all that? I can't forget Crack Whore Dante till I see that sweet, sweet Style Meter.

And the stream is back.

And there was some UMvC3 stuff in the fightman thread.

EDIT:

Stream dies.

New trailer for GW2


Never played the first game, but I'm pretty excited about this.
Still kind of a sucker for MMOs :\

[Toptube]

[sponkmonkey]

So this is another game Grasshopper is working one

[Talbain]

[Ronnoc]

Guild Wars is out of Seatle. I follow the blog of one of their ex-concept artists.

[Talbain]

Ah, so they're a subsidiary. My mistake. I still stand by my statement though. MMOs are a blight on creativity.

do you actually know anything about Guild Wars 2?

[Mikey]

[notbov]

So, uh, I guess someone in the industry was hurting real bad for a third Clockwork Knight. Otherwise, I don't see the appeal of Black Knight Sword.

The most recent set of posts on the Guild Wars 2 blog shows they're pretty serious about emphasizing skill over time played and it looks like the PvP they're aiming for is almost like opposite of what most MMOs do. The highlight for me being as soon as you enter PvP, you get boosted to max level and all skills you'd have are unlocked and they include class build templates for people who just want to jump in and play.

I think it looks great so far... it has a very Amiga action game feel to it.
