cannedstingray

I may have already posted on this, but in case not, Cannedstingray on PSN, XBL and Steam. Oh yeah Origin too

TBH if this thing actually works, and can enhance gaming. like the hologram video MS put out a couple years ago, that showed the TV content being expanded off the screen and projected around the room, I could totally see myself using something like this. It's obviously less immersive than full vr. But being able to see your hands and feet, as well as your home environment, is more user friendly while still potentially adding tons to what you are doing.

I don't see why something like this can't live along side the Oculus Rift. VR excites me as long as they get the motion sickness stuff sorted. But AR or holographic tech excites me just as much. And if this ends up competing with the Rift at all, it will be a good thing, because competition in the market means the consumers win. Look at what's happening with the new consoles, prices cut and packages re-tooled after less than one year as a direct result of MS and Sony competing.

I noticed this last night, I was looking for an old quick look. When I loaded the QL page at first everything was ok, I scrolled down to the bottom clicked another page, and none of the video thumbnails will load in unless I refresh the page.

I have since tried it on the popular videos page, the subscriber video page, the ER page. They are all the same, page one loads up fine, but switching to another page only the large video at the top of the page is there, none of the thumbnails on subsequent pages appear until the page is refreshed.

I have tried this on two desktop computers, I haven't tried on any mobile or laptop devices.

@unclebenny: They are making a game called Triad Wars. Not a continuation of the story, but its the same gameplay and still set in Hong Kong. This time you are building a criminal enterprise from the ground up. There is a closed beta going on right now and United front has some videos on youtube of them streaming the game, the video starts a few minutes in.

The next Fallout

The next Deus ex

The next Red Dead

I completely get the open world fatigue. But for me i has a lot to do with the type of open world. With Ubisoft games It can be the beginning of the game and, I look at the map an get overwhelmed by the sheer amount of icons on the map, because they are just a handful of the same type of content repeated over and over and over.

This is why I like the type of worlds Todd Howard's team at Bethesda make. When you start out, it's just a huge map with no icons or locations known to you, and the only way to find things is to explore. So you head off in a direction and really have no idea what you will find out there. Also they do way better than most at putting actual authored content into the little corners of the game world, knowing full well that you may never even find them.

The really cool thing is that when you actually stumble across some really involved side quest that has nothing to do with the main quest. Or just some little room in an abandoned house that tells a story just by what the people left behind or the positioning of the corpses, and it's not even on the map until you discover it. It makes it way better because it feels like something that you actually found. Dragon Age Inquisition does a decent job in this regard.

It reminds me of the original Legend of Zelda game where you are just exploring the world and finding things that you may or may even know what they are. It goes a long way in making a world feel unexplored where there are undiscovered things waiting for you.

For me it brings a sense of wonder to a game world that I want to discover instead just feeling like a series of series of icons to be crossed off a map.

I still go back to Fallout 3 and occasionally the other Bethesda games instead of playing most of the newer open world games simply they are the ones that gave me a sense of wonder that I just don't get from the new games.

This game has a lot of emotional moments. Here is one, I highly recommend playing it or watching a youtube video of all the cut scenes. after I beat the game and saw a couple of the endings, it was one of those games that I just kept thinking about. I did a bunch of reading up on the lore of the story, which gives context to a whole bunch of the game and especially the enemies.

watched Interstellar and Edge of tomorrow last night, they each scratch a different itch but I enjoyed both a lot.

I don't know that I liked one more than the other, but I found myself thinking about Interstellar quite often today. Although there was a point in the movie where it could've crawled too far up it's own ass, it managed not to, and Edge of tomorrow I found highly entertaining all the way through. Also I really liked the creature design in EoT, they reminded me of some of the bosses in Neir.

I'd probably give each a 4/5

all 3 are absolutely worth playing. there is an argument to be made for each one of the three being the best, since you still hear people arguing for each one as the fav. Personally I had the best time with 2. But playing all 3 completes the trilogy
