Yeah now that you mention it. Probably the same engine.

That game was much nicer looking than AC3. Might've been on the WiiU.

My mind is breaking. That Watch Dogs game looks phenomenal!

Like the YouTube comment said: Grand Theft Auto + Deus Ex = Watch Dogs.

That game looks sooo detailed and great.

Pretty weak conferences today. Hopefully Nintendo can save the show tomorrow. MS conference was one of the worst ever at E3. They should have passed and just had a booth.

Anyone know if Canada will be able to preorder the AC3 "Join or Die" edition? I can only see it's available in the UK so far.

Its sad if its true. Both Ico and SoC were amazing. It looked really cool.

To me, if you want realism/immersion, you want 3D. I wear glasses to, but I can switch to contacts for 3D gaming. 3D gaming is different from 3D movies, in part because you can adjust the seperation (if that's what causing your eyestrain).

I found this rather amusing.

IGN interviews drunk LA Kings fans after the game about E3 press conferences.

(I couldn't embed the video)

Isn't Watch Dogs the "spiritual successor" to True Crime? Or is that Sleeping Dogs? Too many dogs.

Nope, Sleeping Dogs is the sequel to True Crime.

In other news:

New Painkiller announced:
http://www.nordicgames.at/index.php/...s_his_comeback

Some new Dishonored gameplay:



Dead Space 3:



Apparently they decided to turn Deadspace into Gears of War?

Gears of War: Judgement:



And in more terrible Splinter Cell news, Michael Ironside is officially no longer the voice of Sam Fisher.
http://kotaku.com/5915764/michael-ir...-is?tag=e32012
How does this work? Ironside IS Fisher. How can you make a Splinter Cell game and have someone else do Sam's voice?

Is that Watch Dogs game on the 360? Technically it looks WAY too advanced to be a console game. Looks amazing.

From what I could find it said it would be on PS3 and Xbox.

They aren't necessarily "zombies" since they're infected. But I know what you mean. From what I understand, the main focus is simply on survival and interactions with other humans. In that, ammo and health packs as well as resources are rare. It looks "too-good-to-be-true" scripted, but if the entire gameplay runs as flawlessly as the demo then it will be an amazing game. The brutality of the violence, especially at the end is what got me.

We are definitely going to have to set up a CP world in the new SimCity game so we can all build our own cities and send toxic waste to irradiate each other's cities.
