Wait, wait, wait...
I got the impression that Yahtzee has never played the old Fallouts... Seeing that if he had he would have complained about how different FO3 was compared to the older ones...
This bothers me...

ooh, I forgot about Event Horizon! To me, Dead Space reminds me of 'The Thing' sprinkled with a helping of 'Alien'.kristus said:3 new games I am casually looking forward featured at this E3. None of them are sequels.
1. Mirror's Edge.
2. Dead Space. (Event Horizon the game...)
3. Rage (aside from a lackluster name, I am looking forward to this blend of racing and FPS)
Heh, PoP somewhere between FFX and FFXII... maybe THAT's why I can hardly wait! ^^
But yeah with the games industry growing bigger & BIGGEr & BIGGER there's going to be more sequels, less innovation... like hollywood
I'm an optimist myself. If you can't live with disappointments you're weak and self-fulfilling prophecies are actually a GOOD thing on this side of life

What about Starcraft II. Sure, it's a sequel, but as long as it's like the original with pretty graphics, a few different gameplay mechanics, and the removal of the goddamn selection limit, it should be great.
Once they patch up any balance issues there are, and I guarantee there will be some, upon release.

Rundown of E3?
I think our little Brit in Australia curmudgeon is started to slip off his rock a little - the first sign of jumping the shark? He reviews E3 2008 and complains there?s nothing new out there, and that everything is one big sequel.
Did he not actually pay attention? I can think of Spore and Mirror?s Edge right off the bat without thinking. Did he miss Dead Space or Dragon Age: Origins? Tom Clancy?s ENDWAR? I Am Alive? Even just looking at Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network titles like Braid, Castle Crashers, and PixelJunk Eden, how can you not see the originality and creativity?
Ben, E3, even in its shrunken state, is still huge enough that you actually have to do what we like to call ?research? before making blanket statements. And don?t say they were buried - Electronic Arts and UbiSoft SHOWCASED Will Wright and Mirror?s Edge respectively.

Hm.. yeah, Yahtzee mentioned fallout once in his Bioshock review, but besides that I guess if he did play it he didn't find to to be the creme de creme of western rpgs that many, many people have, or he'd bring it up more. Although, he's stated he only plays an rpg when effect by space radiation or something or other.
Fallout 3, having played both games long after they where released and really loving them, I think the sense of humor and xx content along with the killing kids thing could've been kept in had it been isometric. I mean, nobody complained about killing kids in Warcraft 3, cause they looked like deformed hobbits, but turn it into first person, make them realistic, and bingo, you've got something that will land you an OA rating.
So, rather than get creative, Bethsda said, lets just use this as grounds for tweaking the Elder Scrolls engine and do whatever the hell we want. Apparently what they loved about the game was all the violence, so keeping that in and putting that on display prominently was the number one priority, seeing from that's what they talk most about.

Lol "CLAP CLAP OI!" and "Steve Buscemi" references got me.
I thought it was a good video, but I am slightly disappointed in that there was no actual video game review AND BRING BACK THE OLD MUSIC SELECTION.
Still, I enjoyed watching this weeks episode as always.

"The world will look up and shout Save Us, and I will wisper no." that line almost makes me want to see it. Instead, I'll go see Spirit, cause I already read Watchmen.
In toehr news, the main charecter of FF13 is not androgenous, but is actually female. Yes, everyone is just as surprised. Once it was aanounced that she was in fact a woman, most people discredited it as an internet joke, and went right on beleiving it was an androgenous male. Aparently the vast majority of people out there don't get that woman can be main charecters without being sex objects, using emotion powers, or playing dressup. I'm looking at you FFx-2, the only actual sequal ever in the series. Not counting Tactics Advance 2 cause the Advance versions suck, and actually aren't related to the origioanl Tactics game (surprise surprise). Oh, and FFXII is actually a prequal to the origioanl Tactics showing what the world was like before all technology and science was lost, as well as aparently several species that were blow over to the non-sequal world including all non-human playable races, which is why they don't apear later.

Spore = uncreative? Only more than 2M creatures created by users by the man who invented "creative" (see: SimCity, etc.)Xiado said:
Mirror's Edge = uncreative? Even if it's an "on rails" shooter, it has style and gameplay coming out the wazoo
Braid and Pixeljunk Eden = uncreative? You must be joking.
It seems to me that Ben got reaaaaaaaaaaal lazy on this one.
I know Yahtzee is a very angry person who talks at the speed of a humming bird but this time he sounded specially hungry and talked fast enough to get a speeding ticket. Did E3 affect him so much?
Still, this one has to be one of my favorites. The "CLAP CLAP! OI!" has to be one of his most brilliant and fresh moments. Can anyone actually make a sound file out of that?
