Just curious if anyone here has played Homefront yet? Apparently it got really kick a** reviews, particularly for the multi-player.
Also, tried out the 3DS...gave me a headache. When you adjust the slider right, it's fine. But other than that you see double.

Anyone want to play co-op portal with me this weekend? Let me know (by PM) if you're interested. I have it on PC.

Personally doesn't interest me, and my friend who plays a lot of FPS games didn't play it for very long.

I tried out the 3ds at my friends. Yeah, at first glance, it's hard to focus, because you see double. You kinda have to look at it like you do those pictures that just looks like a bunch random design, but if you look close enough there is a 3d picture that pops out at you. That's pretty much how you have to look at the 3ds.

I finally got around to playing Portal 2 last week. Shortly before I started, I went through the first game in ~half an hour. I finished single player in less than 7 hours and got all the SP achievements. The puzzles for most of the game, even with the new elements, still felt like an advanced review of the first game. I guess it's to make it more accessible to those using controllers. I still enjoyed all of it though and I'm definitely going to play through it again.
I just started Co-op a few days ago, but only because I was reading up on how to play Co-op alone - keyboard/mouse for one and a controller on the other. Switching back and forth feels pretty weird, but it definitely has me interested in seeing what I can do. I pretty much consider this as the real challenge. I'll probably start playing with other people once I've finished it.
They've already announced free DLC this summer that adds some test chambers and will include a challenge mode for single and multiplayer modes and all sorts of cool stuff.

Free DLC used to be called patches, good paid-for DLC used to be called expansions. ^ circa 2005.

Yeah, but this is Valve. Their DLC just means nice free updates with new stuff and continued support. DLC, updates, patches, expansions, add-ons, I don't care what they're called nowadays. At least they're not charging 15$ for three new maps and two old ones (Modern Warfare 2).

Pretty fun.

Can't find my disks for it anymore though =/ Yes, that one =) Just started playing it about a week ago. Though I can already beat a few CPU's on insane. Maybe I'm just naturally talented? ;o Only have the first 2 expansions though, wanna buy the 3rd because I found it on amazon for 8$. Pretty good deal. I play as Chaos, though I don't really like them. My friends all "claimed" the races that they play as first, so I was stuck with only a few options.

I don't really game much anymore, though I am interested in seeing what the successor to the Nintendo Wii is going to be like when they are (supposedly) going to have a playable demo of it at E3 next week.

I don't really game much anymore, though I am interested in seeing what the successor to the Nintendo Wii is going to be like when they are (supposedly) going to have a playable demo of it at E3 next week. It's been officially revealed (though press release) that Project Cafe it's going to be revealed in it's entirety. Playability on the other hand is still speculative, but the hardware, capabilities, etc; are all going to be shown off, guaranteed. Press Release from Nintendo: (Original Japanese) Press Release from Nintendo: (English Translation) Images:More speculation:(in the spoiler) - purenintendo.com/2011/04/26/more-project-cafe-rumors-games-to-be-shown-off-at-e3/ Of course these are only rumors…..but if only half were true…so awesome.
- Nintendo are planning a full reveal of the console, controller and 1st/2nd party games at E3.
- The console is confirmed to be backwards compatible with all Wii/Gamecube titles, and all your VC games will be transferred over once you link your credit card to the system.
- Many 3rd party developers have development kits who are supposedly hard at work to have something to show (and play) at E3.
- 3rd Parties were involved with the development of the console, with requests for what specifications they’d like to see. As of now (which could change) the system runs of a custom built IBM triple-core CPU and has 2gb RAM. The graphics chip is a custom built Radeon R700 chip.
- There is an internal SSD. Size is unknown at this point.
- It will run natively at 1080p.
- The new controller slightly resembles a Gamecube controller with a large LCD screen in the middle of it. The controller is light for its size and looks like a tablet with Gamecube-like prongs to the side. It has dual analogue sticks, face buttons, d-pad and shoulder buttons. No triggers were on the device.
- The screen on the controller is indeed a 6″ LCD high resolution (reported 640 x 960 pixels) display. However, Nintendo said in order to keep battery life manageable, the controller doesn’t have any hardware to produce graphics itself. The image is simply a video stream directly from the console.
- The controller uses rechargeable lithium ion batteries. Size of the battery is unknown.
- The Wiimote can be used and a new model of Wiimote will be released with the console. This new controller will have overhauled internals allowing for much more precise movement tracking than even the Wiimote Plus had.
- The Project Cafe system development kit is not representative of the final console design. The console is smaller and resembles the Japanese/European SNES models.
- Nintendo have told developers that their online system will be ‘the best online experience’ that’s available on consoles. The whole idea of the machine is to be connected to the internet 24/7. It’s being targeted as an online/social console. Friend codes are gone, but no word on whether the online service will be subscription based.
- The Pokemon RPG is the title Nintendo will be showing off their online experience with.
- As reported by other sources, Nintendo is targeting this console to the hardcore gamers once again.
- Nintendo is planning on some sophisticated inter-game communication between the 3DS and the console. Nintendo didn’t explain what they’re planning on.
To be shown at E3:
Nintendo: - Pikmin 3 (playable, launch title) - Pokemon RPG (video, launch or near launch title) - Super Mario Bros title (playable) - Star Fox (playable) - Smash Bros 4 (playable) - Mario Kart (video) - Zelda (tech demo) - Metroid (tech demo) - New IP (video)

These are rumors by hungry a** nintendo fans who are going to be REALLY disappointed at E3 this year. A screen on the controller? That is retarded.

No more retarded than PS3 caving in to people changing the controller when it was first announced. No more retarded than the initial 360 units being a crapshoot with its shelf life (in terms of the system not dying on you). I'm eager just to see it.

Sony ripping Nintendo off is a different type of stupidity than Nintendo fans trying to make these false claims about the next system.
I doubt Nintendo will do have of these things, and it's funny that Nintendo fans even still exist trying believing that Nintendo still cares about them.

Yes, Nintendo no longer cares about a fanbase because they saw money in a relatively untapped market, dominated that market and now will go back to their strong point to show they aren't abandoning their core market. Nintendo does it a hell of a lot better than Sony and Microsoft from what I see.

Agreed. I was a Nintendo fanboy, but I left for Sony because... well... Nintendo left me! It's amazing to see people still cling onto Nintendo after 5 years of being ignored. Nintendo isn't going back to the hardcore gamer scene, so fanboys need to quit making far-fetched rumors that aren't going to happen.
