God of War looks good. And looks like it is a continuation of Kratos’ story and not a complete reboot.

Spiderman looks cool. Arkham City with Uncharted pacing. Is that real game footage though?

lol why

looks like it could easily descend entirely into some stupid sub-guy ritchie in space nonsense, but I’m still hopeful

Stuff I’m excited about so far

State of Decay 2
Anthem (although sceptical)
Black Desert
The Last Night
Fortnite
SoTC remaster or whatever it is
Monster Hunter
The Ubisoft pirate game Bones & something look AMAZING, much better than Sea of Thieves
Minecraft lighting patch (assuming we get it for non-pro consoles)
VR Skyrim

It just reminded me of Itchy and Scratchy and Poochie.

is anyone able to explain why mouth movements are basically the final frontier of realistic game graphics?

EDIT: inb4 someone just says ‘physics’

Same in CGI films tbf innit, no idea why they seem so tricky to nail

Always assumed it was partly down to games having to come in multiple languages so they dont try to line it up 100% to english mouth movements for example to give some flexibility. But yeah could just be very tricky.

What was that rock star game where you were some sort of chandleresque detective who was supposed to be able to tell if the people you interviewed were lying based on their excellent animated facial expressions? Man, I was shit at that. Pure guess work followed by some ropey action chasing someone through peoples backyards or driving an old car badly.

LA Noire. I absolutely loved it, would love a new version of it with some of the kinks ironed out at some point.

Have they managed to do water and hair now?

Got mixed feelings about LA Noire. This still cracks me up good and proper

That’s the one! Made me feel like a replicant in blade runner (except I was doing the questioning).

I think water is pretty good these days on the whole - maybe not when you’re actually moving in/on it though, good point.

Hair - dunno, I guess I mostly play games where people are wearing helmets/hats?

apparently the Wolfsentein trailor is censored in the UK and doesn’t show the guy (with the cartoon thingy) taking acid. i was wondering what some people were going on about there.

the rest of it is fine tho! so that’s ok!

I literally just found out about the Life is Strange prequel. Bit disappointed they’ve gone for a prequel, I’ll be honest.
