He is very different than what i pictured him to be. I even saw him in some of the interviews/videos but i forgot how he looks like since whenever i think of gaming rep i think of Ryan Payton. That said, JStevenson was fucking awesome. It was great talking to him about gaming, Resistance and other stuff. Thanks for making my day awesome! AranhaHunter

For some reason this made me laugh
Another question on Fallout 3, why would you not use the V.A.T.S? Is there any penalty for using it? I don't see why I wouldn't use it all the time if there are no penalties or limitations.

Damn! I forgot Golden Axe is by Sega!!
Resistance 2
- by far the game of the show, I was really hyped for this and it blew my expectations away
- the first level I played was the tutorial level in Iceland (or Greenland, forgot which) and what a way to start off the game.
- your making your way through this level following the Goliath trying to take it down and fight off the Chimeras
- the action was really intense with explosions all around and lots of enemies firing at you. The action kept me at the edge of my seat
- another thing that kept me at the edge of the seat is the sound, we were playing with headphones and wow, Insomniac is not joking when they talk about the emphasis they put on the sound
- at first, I was against the whole 2 weapon thing, but with the amount of action going on you will be always running out and it makes it feel more intense. I can't really explain it, but it didn't bother me at all during the gameplay
- The AI seams a lot smarter this time. I was playing on normal and they were giving me a run for my money. They seamed to work together and user cover a lot.
- The other level I played was Orick which was much more enjoyable and more intense
- At one point there was what seamed to be around 20-30 enemies rushing at me at once and jstevenson said there are moments that get more intense
- To the people who were worried about the stealth enemies being to easy to spot, I say don't worry about it. You hear them coming, but they revel themselves at the last moment. I got killed a couple of times and so did other people I saw playing the demo.
- If you liked the first Resistance you will love this one, Nov. 4th seems way to far away
- let me say this again, the sound is amazing. That and the action is so intense, shooter of the year, I think so The event was around 3 hours and I spent a 1/3 of it on just this game
- I was talking to jstevenson for a while and asked him some question which I got answers for. Apparently the coop mode lasts longer then single player (15 hours) and that not counting the countless hours you will take replaying it. Also, there is a weapon that we still haven't seen yet. If you have any questions just shoot them, I post my other impressions in a bit

Don't worry too much about that, I talked to the lady, and she doesn't know too much about the game - she seemed more like a stand-in than anything else, she was nice enough, but she couldn't tell me anything about the game. She tried it a few times, she sucked at it like Shagg did... I on the other hand rocked. Cover took a second to get used to, but it kinda... works on it's own. Hard to explain, but it didn't seem forceful, like "You're in cover mode, and now you're coming out of it" felt more like you were always half in and out of cover mode. Head shots are so awesome >.<.
Mirror's Edge - SO FUCKING AWESOME, enough said. The controls are simple, L1 jump and grab, L2 roll and slide. R1 and R2 for combat and triangle to disarm. You can get right into it and it draws you in right away. After Resistance 2, it was the game of the show
Fallout 3 - Before today I was so hyped for this, but I walked away disappointed after I played it today. The world is so big, but it looked like it was full of nothing and there is no way to travel but walk the long lonely distances. Plus the animations are horrible. I kept shooting this girl in the head and other then blood it seemed like there was no feedback. VATS seemed cool, but I can see that getting old fast and the general combat didn't look to compelling. I will still get the game but on day 1, when I can get it for cheaper
Prince of Persia - Today I was sold on this game. Plays awesome and looks just as good, plus you get the CE for no extra price if you pre order
Killzone 2 - This was a big surprise. I didn't really expect to see it there and didn't see it until the end so I didn't get to play long. It looked good and seemed to control fine, hope the beta comes to NA so I can get more time on it.

I'm tired... Grandstaff (Bethesda Community Manager, Michigan Alum, and all around cool-guy) and I were doing demos from 11am-9pm.... LONG DAY. Just got back in from some good pub food, and have to be in a cab in six hours to the airport.
Everyone who came out was totally awesome though... had a blast and talked to a ton of folks from GAF, MyResistance and other industry folks (COD5's comm manager was there along with a couple other Treyarch peeps).
Anyways, everyone loved the game - played Mirror's Edge and it rocked. Oh yeah, and Fallout 3 rocked too... but Grandstaff caught me trying to swipe the final build to take back to LA with me. I guess he'd get in "trouble" or something. Heh.

Sonic was there. I didn't tape it :/ It's Sonic for crying out loud
Still getting off my high from yesterday, forgot to mention I got some time with Dead Space, well not playing it, just watching it, and it looked really cool. At first I wasn't even sure what I was watching but eventually it was made obvious to me. The environment was really creepy, I loved it.

Thanks for all the impressions, guys! All these games really sound awesome. Resistance 2 is looking great. I love the amount of stuff happening all around you, pure chaos! Weird that the build of Killzone 2 was the pre-alpha build. I though they were in pre-beta stage already? Mirror's Edge looks sick, though the controls sound like I'll need some adjustment to them. Prince of Persia also looks great. As Dead Space. Damn, too many games!
Yes. If anyone played this or at least saw it being played, what were your impressions of it?goku3000 said:

That was the first game i saw. I only saw glimpse of it though and didn't play it for you could only play few games with that 2 hour and 30 minute of time limit. Looks very clean and very solid. I was blown by the visuals and didn't realize it was Far Cry 2 so i had to ask someone what game it was.

That event sounded cool. I really wished Sony was at E for All.

Great vids shagg!!!
I can see why everyone's blowing loads for R2. I've been on a bit of a media blackout until the beta, so this is really my first taste. Holy shit, it looks incredible. The complexity, detail, variety, color (without being garish) is just amazing. Sooooooo much stuff going on at once. Plus 7.1 LPCM!
