Well…in all honesty it looks good…but a little linear. But it’s just a stage demo. I do want to see what makes it stand out in comparison to Encharted series. Although Tomb Raider definitely set the trend…Encharted has set the current standard,imo.

Last articles I read in Game informer it was going to be sandbox style.

I agree - it looks like it is taking the Uncharted formula and applying the Tomb Raider name to it IMO.
And I am a huge fan of both franchises.

Looking good so far.
Not sure about the new Dante though…

Why would you spend more money to watch a new movie at home? The whole point of going to the theatre is to watch the movies on a big screen with great sound. Would you really want to see Avengers for the first time at home on your little tv?[/quote]
Unless you’re a movie nut who goes to the movies 3-4 nights a week, it’s impossible to see every new release on the big screen. Most of the event movies that ‘demand’ to be seen on the big screen are a big disappointment, with many cacophonous, CGI-driven movies looking and sounding better on a TV (sometimes less is more).
What’s the point of going to see The Dark Knight Rises with all the trimmings on opening weekend if the only seat available is first row next to the wall? When you’re effectively paying to listen to commentary from yapping tards, then the extra cost is definitely worth it to watch at home without the fuss- especially if it persuades studios to at least put the option out there.[/quote]
That’s just it. I’m not a movie nut. While I’ll agree most movies aren’t worth seeing in the movie theaters, there are quite a few I’d rather see on the big screen. I just usually wait until a week or 2 after release to go so I don’t get crappy seats and try to go when the kids are in school.
In fact I remember reading about some kind of system being released a couple months ago that allows you to watch movies at home when they come out in theaters. I think it’s probably already been released but you have to pay $20 or $30 just to watch the movie at home. If I remember right it’s failing to sell pretty badly.[/quote]
Name this product/service, and I will save it.
I will burn the orphanages in it’s name.
All of them.

It’s called Home Premiere on DirecTV I think. But apparently it’s actually 2 months after theatrical release. I thought it was around release but I guess theaters said no since it would put them out of business, so it’s 2 months after it for $30. It might be on other cable services. I didn’t check too much.[/quote]
I would pay this, invite a few friends to the house tell them to bring some food and drinks and you pay for the movie. Win win
I also just went on my account online and could not find this anywhere. The on Demand has a good list of stuff but no Home Premiere.
Now I have been in hotels where you can watch new releases how is that possible?[/quote]
I have no idea. I just googled the subject and looked at the first article I can find. I’d ask your cable company. I think I read Comcast was going to do the same thing.

Crysis 3. Hopefully it can return some of the “glory” that made first Crysis awesome. Crysis 2…was too damn generic.

I’m going to buy this when it’s cheap. Crysis 2 looks amazing with DX11 and high res textures and if they stop tesselating the shit out of things you don’t even see (I think the newest version of Cryengine 3 had something like that) maybe they could improve it. And I like Prophet more than Alcatraz. And “sandbox” sounds promising.
Just wish they’d make a game without aliens. Imagine being sent in (pretty) alone to liberate Syria, stop North Koreas nuke program or something like that. I might even buy that at release![/quote]
I agree with all you state. My biggest issue…was taking more-open(choice-wise) original Crysis…and making the sequel(Crysis 2) more linear. But overall…the CryEngine is awesome. [/quote]
This has to do with the first game being on PCs, when they make games for consoles that are 6 years old, there are going to be limitations due to what the consoles can handle and the fact that developers keep putting more and more into graphics and making games look good while removing more and more content and gameplay options.
Another advert-within-an-advert existential brain scrambling viral from Ridley Scott, starring David the synthetic:
My roommate and I were watching the new Ultimate Spiderman show, yesterday. Does anyone know what’s up with Nova? He’s got a new name and his origin isn’t explained in the show (not yet, at least). Does anyone know where the writers are getting this from? or are they just taking Nova and completely reworking the character for the show?

The problem is that I really, really like the trailers.
I think they have a calm, measured tone that is kind of unsettling because it makes me think of a time when I will go all bah humbug on new technologies and feel unsettled and threatened by it.
That, in my mind, is one of the signs of great science fiction.
So, I can only conclude that the movie will suck.

The David virals are quietly terrifying in the way that they tap into very real fears that exist in the here and now. Promethueus has humans chasing their origins (we’ve done so since the dawn of time, when we lacked the capacity to understand our roots), and androids chasing their creators. In the viral, David says he can help an employer increase productivity, implying that he will stand between his owner and the workforce, which puts him in charge of real people (mirrors immigrants who are willing to work for less to ‘steal’ jobs from people who have a’‘right’ to those jobs but want more pay ).
Who needs aliens or androids? But, if it’s a must, Ridley has promised a moment to rival the chestburster scene.

It will be severely disappointing and you know it.
It will not just be a mediocre movie that started out on a great premise, it will be a clusterfuck of epic proportion, making you groan with embarrassment, an excellent beginning sacrificed on the altar of supposed mass appeal.
And you know that.
Come to the dark side, life is better here.
Why did Kubrick have to die? Cameron is still alive?

I surrendered to the dark side once. I bought a ticket and saw unsympathetic, indulgent Jedis who deserved to die, overacting villains and a moronically naive teenager a through a haze of unconvinging, prohibitively expensive CGI.
“It’s a kids movie” he said. Didn’t stop him slaughtering the younglings in Ep.3.
You’re right. It’s a prequel. It’ll suck.

Oh, you are revering to the infamous “oh my Senator, you are a Sith and we know that all Sith are lying liars from liarville and oh my, what big teeth you have… what is it you say? Slaughter all the catamites in the Jedi HQs? Why yes of course, you only need to ask!”
Because this way the Jedi would lose touch with the force due to sexual frustration or some such, at this point it no longer mattered.

pats hands well, that answers that.
It’s clear that the show is geared towards younger kids and I don’t think the animation is that bad (the animation in a lot of cartoons is horrible, especially Marvel shows, so I should say not that bad when compared to a lot of other shows). I have to admit I like the show, though, I guess I’m just a Marvel whore.

Question, wasn’t the whole story written before any of the movies came out? I was told it’s a 9 part story and they decided to use the middle 3 to make the original movies. If that is true, then instead of being mad at the movies themselves, why not be more mad at George Lucas for writing a story that was stupid in the beginning and awesome in the middle? If that’s already how the story goes, how could they have made the newer movies any better?
(edit: aside from better CGI and acting, of course, I’m talking in terms of the story itself)

A rumor I read was that they are going to cancel the Avengers cartoon and retool it to be like Ultimate Spiderman so they can do crossovers I really like Avengers EMH and if they Marvel does that it will just be very stupid
