TotalRoundTable: Resisting the Uncharted Waters of Insane and Deadly Descents
Heading for the hills in the fallout from the Spike Videogame Awards “megatons.”
Published: December 13, 2010
Honestly, while I wish that there had been a MGS: Rising trailer shown, I'm betting that blade will stay sheathed until E3. Given the response that ties up walkways at that show, why waste it on the VGAs, which is assailed by lame jokes and crappy joke bits?
As for anything else to add? San Dimas High School Football Rules!
Sam:
The original Mass Effect will never hit the PS3; it was a Microsoft-published game, and had there never been a BioWare/Pandemic deal with EA Partners, the PS3 would have never seen any of the ME games. Frankly, I'm happy with the results (for obvious reasons), but I still want to finish out the series on the PC as I can roll one character across all three entries and I know that data will have rippling effects across all three games, something only PC and 360 gamers will experience.
Rising won't make 2011. It'll end up being multi-platform, but Microsoft will secure an exclusive deal to add Kinect-only features with object-oriented gameplay. A year later, the Move version will come out and people will actually freak out about how awesome the precision is. Nobody will buy that version.
Also, clearly our favorite number is 69, duuuuuude!
