E3 2009 - Page 2

I didn't like that design at all, but then i saw how utterly tiny it is and it grew on me a little. Image for comparison:

It apparently weighs less than an iphone too, so might not be too uncomfortable to hold.

I don't know if anyone here is interested in PC gaming but quite a few of my mates are working on a game called APB which will be showing at E3 and should be quite big.

Realtime Worlds made Crackdown, and I loved that, so I've been keeping an eye on it

Some speculation APB is coming to 360, which I would enjoy!

I always thought ABP was coming to 360

EDIT: Could really do with lovefilm integration with xbox live

So in case anyone missed it elsewhere. Due to a 'big last minute surprise' the conference is starting 5 minutes early....

Heh, marketing chess. It's like a fake encore.

leowyatt · 01-06-2009, 12:20

Sad that Mass Effect is 360 exclusive for the time being, i was hoping for a PC release at the same time

The Sky on Xbox thing is quite interested but personally I'd be far more interested to see if this paves the way for a similar addon to Windows Media Center.

Providing Sky via WMC would be a no-brainer in my view. The vast majority of people with media center PCs are using them with Freeview due to the difficulty of piping a Sky or cable feed into it. To provide a system where Sky's extended programming is available to them over IP, either as a subscription system or on pay-per-view, would be a very useful addition and could seriously push uptake of WMC. Wouldn't hurt as another string in the Windows 7 marketing bow either.

Nowhere has actually said it is definitely isn't going to be released on the PC later as far as i can tell, i just stuck it in 360 exclusive as it was in the multiplatform section but only stated 'PC and 360'. I made the original op for the console section so they typically don't care about the PC

.

In fact, from what i've heard/read, the PC release of mass effect could quite well be simultaneous with the 360 release. There was also a big fat 'no comment' on the prospect of an eventual PS3 release of all things! Keep in mind EA now own the devlopers of mass effect (Bioware?) which is what gave birth to the PC release. Hopefully now that they're owned by EA from the beginning we can expect ports much sooner.
