PeTitosaurus

@EternalDragonX No harm done. Hypes are... special. I guess it's proof of us humans being social creatures and that excitement is contagious.

@EternalDragonX Hmm. I think this is a slightly unfair statement to be honest; calling people blind, spoilt and/or fools.

Yes, a beta is very much a demo than anything. But personally I know a great deal of people who played it and fell in love with it to an extent I've never seen them fall for a game. Some of them are even 'leaving' their favourite franchises for it. It's not necessarily "blind", it's just like with people: chemistry. Different game genres appeal to different people, different games appeal to different people.

Secondly, lots of people buy games on day one without reading reviews. I used to be one of them.

It's ok to be sceptical about hypes and hyped up games, sometimes the hype is what breaks the game when it can't deliver. But I honestly don't see how that justifies calling what's basically just excited people 'fools' or 'blind'.

I say it's 'darts with modifications'.

@kensredemption Hahaha! Something like it.

But... my Titans?! They will be so sad.

I would love to see an update to Marked for Death much like the one they made for Capture the Flag; the VIP can't go hide in Titans. Would demand much more team work and support.

But generally I'm usually really happy with the Titanfall updates. Feels like Respawn really try to make the most out of the data they get from game stats and feedback.

KEEP IT COMING!

DUN DUN DUUUUNNNN - I smell industry conspiracy. No, not really. Just joking.

With AC3 not being the show-stopper they wished for and AC4 only slightly redeeming that, AC: Unity will have to be well polished for the annual release thing to be justified to players and not only to Ubi wallets.

@MegaKillScreen You know you want to! Give in! Surrender!

@Gamer83 The presentation from Gamescom sure caught my attention!

@EternalDragonX Since someone thought so. Doesn't mean it's generally acknowledged.
I guess it can also be excellent aspects of whole, not necessarily the whole whole... erhmn... yeah, if that made sense?

@HEADESTROYER4 If the time zones are ever in my favour.

When will they start doing cat holograms?

I call Aveline! She's like the Scottish Terrier of this version.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it was lifted over to PS4 as well.

Xbox One certainly has its problems, but they're more like hiccups in comparison to what's been going on over on the 360. It's actually quite sad to see, especially in the instances where people are blaming game developers when it's actually the XBL services that causes the issues.

I wonder how much they paid him.

I do love me some Art Nouveau.

So pun. Wow.

I'm (unsurprisingly) back on Titan duty. And then maybe Destiny. Maybe.

@Anthinator Ah. Thank you! Could this be that? Or is this something completely different?

Adding to this: wasn't there a BioWare "leak" not too long ago, with them registering a patent of some sort. Shadow Runs? Was that it? Can't remember and my google skills are failing me. Will continue to look it of it.

@SuperKMx Not allowed! I've already claimed that one! That and Evolve.

giggles Ubisoft: no recourses for female characters — hires 'parkour officer'.

Adding this to my Kinect workout.

@EternalDragonX Oh absolutely. If I'm playing, I'm all in! Just hoping the game will be more funny than cheesy.

I'm actually seeing myself having fun with this. Not sure if in the "laugh with" or the "laugh at" kind of fun!

Girl power!

Moar games! MOAR GAMES!!

@SunnyShores How are you finding Sniper Elite?

@castlezelda @kensredemption Thank you!!

The games industry is so fickle.

everything is indeed better with achievements!

@JaxonH @DRL isn't Spartan Assault still free for XBL gold members? I'm pretty sure it is one of June's 'Games for Gold'.

@Gamer83 Absolutely! I have to say, having been at both PAX Prime in Seattle and Eurogamer, EGX has the upper hand when it comes to playable content. Almost all the big titles were represented with playable demos and that's pretty big.

@kensredemption Thank you, that's nice to know. Hopefully you'll get some tips and tricks.

GCI has been around for so long now, and it's a really funny game. The idea is brilliant and I like games that don't take themselves too seriously. But I thought the servers were pretty much dead these days? Not sure how many players they'll attract with this... and for how long.

I had totally forgotten I bought tickets all those months ago. Expo tickets sell out way too fast, forcing you to buy them as they go live (and contributing to the hysteria) before you even know that there'll be things there you want to see and hopefully get to play. Anyhoo, I got the 4-day pass so I'll be roaming the floors for that time.

Compared to PAX, Eurogamer feels less of a "show" and more like a gathering of sorts, with lots of playable content and some odd interesting panels, all in all a gathering point for crowds with the same interest... but it's not the big show that PAX is with its massive and crazily designed booths and performances.

@Gamer83 Eurogamer doesn't really bring any announcements. It's too late in the year, too close to the winter launch window and it's also a "not so big" expo. Expos in general rarely give big reveals.

@SunnyShores According to the official twitter page, "soon" turned out to be today; they're apparently rolling it out as I'm typing this. Yaaay!

@JaxonH Ken never sleeps, I'm pretty sure of it by now.

I wouldn't say that the blowup over AC is a biggie, I'd rather say it's a fair question to be raised. Sure, some people should learn to phrase themselves before going after publishers and developers. But in a franchise such as the Assassin's Creed one, it would seem like a natural progress to have a playable female. I'm happy to elaborate this, should anyone like to know.

I understand that the development process didn't make it easy to include one and I'm not saying I mind or have an issue with male characters. What I don't understand though is the excuse they used. And I think the wording of said excuse upset people as it implied that including women are such an expensive, time consuming and difficult feature in a game that it's not worth it or that there's just no way to fit it in. It also implied that no females were thought of in the beginning of the design process and therefore not in the development schedule. This ties back to why a playable female in the AC franchise would make sense as a natural progression of the series. But I won't take up more space, unless anyone's interested, haha.

@EternalDragonX It certainly makes you wonder about the quality...

Some people say that this is how games are made these days, and sure it's getting more common than not to have a day one patch of some size or importance. However patches of all sorts are expensive to put out there (more so AAA titles than smaller games) and is something publishers are not too happy to do, which is why sometimes a game gets one or two patches and then nothing despite maybe needing more fixes.

@TheXboxHero I agree with you, 100%.

@WayneDavies89 If you're on Tumblr, I wouldn't log on there if I were you. Tumblr = Spoiler hell.

@sinalefa I hope so too! We're very appreciative of all kinds of interaction with readers; it's very rewarding getting to know you guys so that we know what interests you. It's also nice meeting new people!

@JaxonH Couldn't agree more. Once again; welcome... and enjoy!

@JaxonH @sinalefa Hello and welcome!! Great to see new names pop up!

@SunnyShores @TOMBOY25 Oooh, and a GLaDOS one!

@Headestroyer4 Sorry for the late reply: The links are at the bottom of the article. Both based on their announcement from E3 and then the follow up with an actual date. It's also posted on their forums. I know that their official Twitter has announced that everything is live on the 360, but I haven't seen anything about X1 yet.

However if they're late with the content it could actually be down to Microsoft, as the updates come through their servers and they need to push some buttons over on their end as well.

@SunnyShores If you're on X1, I'm always on the lookout for teammates

@Headestroyer4 absolutely! I'll do my best, keep an eye open and let you know.

And sure, add me. Always looking for people to team up with.

@Headestroyer4 Ah. Then maybe their PR, the producers and community managers should sit down and have a talk so they're on the same page. And I'll be more careful with what they say in the future.

My GT is PeTitosaurus, just like here.

My Titans go hand in hand with their matched pilots so Apple - Pie and so on, haha. Wouldn't mind giving some of them another voice than Betty. Curious as to how Jeeves will sound. Hoping stereotypical English butler à la Alfred.
