I can't understand why there is no thread yet on E3; maybe everyone is still busy harvesting the hundreds of video's, screenshots and info which became available today.


But I am absolutely astounded, amazed. There are so many great games out there that have blown me away.

I remember when Doom 3 and Half Life 2 were amazing, but even then I could say to myself "It can be better", but after today, I can't say that so easily anymore.

Seriously, go check this stuff out. The PS3 is an amazingly powerful console, as is Xbox360, but it appears the PS3 is slightly more powerful.

Check out the Xbox2/PS3 thread in the OTF for more technical Xbox 360/PS3 stuff: http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...&postid=379981

I think the PS3 is a major disappointment from what Sony strongly hinted at before (4 cell processors at 4.6GHz). While it's faster on paper, its GPU is a generation behind the Xbox 360's and its CPU is essentially a massive vector processor that is far less efficient than the more-traditional tri-core Xbox 360 CPU.

Pah, who cares about Xbox2/PS3 rivalries anyway? Let's look at what games are coming out for the computer in the near future.

This Hellsomething game set in London looks kinda fun - a FPSRPG - you don't have to aim, your characters "aiming skill" does that... hmmm... could either be awesome or rubbish.

Fallout 3... let's PRAY Betheseda make a good game here, and not some crappy "Morrowind in the future" thing. It better have turn based combat or it ain't no Fallout

Yeah the new game from the ex-Blizzard team looks nice, and I'm sure we all have high hopes for Civ4.

Don't give a crap about the console games... but of real games, Oblivion seems to look great, and F.E.A.R. can actually be a very interesting shooter, if Monolith gets it right.

For those who don't go to the Civ4 forum, there's a very interesting interview here: http://pc.ign.com/articles/614/614551p1.html

For the context of what we already know about Civ4, check the opening post of this thread

Barry Caudill: There are no set governments anymore. In Civilization 4, you can choose from various civics and combine them to make the type of government you want. For example, you may have a Theocratic Police State that also has Universal Suffrage or you may have a Pacifist Slave State with Hereditary Rule. The Civics are divided into five major areas - Government, Legal, Labor, Economy, and Religion - and each of those has 5 possible choices depending on what you have researched. In addition, AI leaders will have certain favorite Civics and they may ask you to either switch to theirs or stop using the one that offends them.

YES YES YES THEY HAVE SOCIAL ENGINEERING IN CIV 4 IT WILL BE AWESOME!
