I think Nintendo has realized that all they need to make a console print money is to make another version of Wii Sports.

If the WiiU doesn't ship with WiiU Sports it is WiiU finished and will WiiU flop.

There aren't a whole lot of PS3 games that are WTF huge and need more than a dual layer DVD.

Most that do only seem to because they encode cutscenes in Blu-ray standard video.

Heck, there were multiple announcements from Sony that "thanks to the extra space of Blu-ray"....free copy of the first game in the series. Not that it's a terrible idea, just, they obviously don't need every last GB.

So when is SE's conference today?

[Outlaw]

Have they released the exact specs for the Vita yet?

They don't, or at least most don't. Even when some of them do utilize the extra space, it's for something like uncompressed audio. With that said though, it's great to have that capability. I hate multi-disc games and blue ray disks seem a hell of a lot more scratch resistant.

How do I go back to watch old interviews on gametrailers? I only get the live stream.

Moar ME3,
just inject it in me casey

[Tymon]

Or the videos aren't trying to exploit weaknesses at all like the developers have said youll need to so they can show off more of the wiimote controls.

Agreeing with this

Remember how long it took to kill a Wolfos in OoT if you didn't stab it in the back?

[XalienLevi]

this is the same video of Mass Effect 3 gameplay they showed last night :3

[Correction]

This looks like yesterday's ME3 demo.

So is hand drawn animation the reason why Rayman Origins is going to be 60 dollars?

and Odin Sphere still looks 100x better than it.

You can drag the play head back in the live stream. Reggie's interview is ~2hrs28m (you may get the tail end of the Hulk Hogan stuff, if you see him holding a folding metal chair you're good).

oh man, some amazing stuff from Michel Ancel on Beyond Good & Evil 2 just now on GTTV, I'll try to type up what I remember

-he said that they had a choice to go with Rayman Origins or Beyond Good & Evil 2, and the reason Rayman is coming out now is because it's "ready for this console generation"

-he said that Beyond Good & Evil was pretty far along when that city video teaser was released a few years back, and that in making the game they realized it was going to be too big (implying the game would have a huge, open world) and that they realized they'd need the power of a new console to truly capture it

-The lady there implied the reason they're putting it off is because they want to make it perfect, that they're definitely working on it but they don't want to screw it up by releasing it this generation. Michel Ancel seemed to agree with this

-When asked if it'd come out on the WiiU, Michel said he couldn't really comment on this.

-They asked if BG&E2 was definitely coming, Michel Ancel said "yes, definitely". The lady said that they'd get it out "even if it kills us"

I have faith, Ubisoft! Kudos to Geoff Keighley for pressing on this. Rayman Origins is looking pretty fucking sweet too.

Is Capcom late or is that youtube stream borked?
