We dont have any space left on the hype train

... why does EA have a two hour presser?

This is not E3.

Oh well.

This is what I was trying to tell you :lol.

EA has a two hours Game Changers press event identical to their E3 2011 event of the same name. This is literally early E3. For some reason.

They probably want more attention than they would get at E3(, because something big is to happen at E3 that draws all attention?). Or they just feel like they have to announce something now, because there is basically nothing announced from EA yet for the Holiday season, and I guess to wait for E3 will be a tad too late.
 
Will look forward to seeing DA3, hope they learned from the backlash and create something cool, and bring back the toolset :(

I expect the opposite. DA2 mechanics with a graphics overhaul, more items, more characters, more diverse locations, heavy social media integration, even more blood mages.

Once again, while it is still a large gap from DA1 to DA2, if they announce next week, they will be announcing a year to the day of DA2's launch.

Which is going to be more negative than "we're so clever".
 
Excited for some interesting IGF talks, some possible SteamBox news, maybe a couple game announcements, but that's honestly all I'm realistically expecting.
 
I'm trying not to get hyped.

Also hopefully if UE4 is shown it'll look better than Samaritan.

It was UE3 after all.
 
This week is when humanity achieves it's greatest achievement by ascending Earth to the utopia we have always dreamed about, a world where Sony and Valve can announce a console together with Half Life 2: Episode 3 and MGS5: Diamond Dogs as launch titles.

I know it'll happen.
 
Like every year, everyone will get extremely hyped in anticipation but later on will get upset when the hype isn't deliver. And even if I know this, I am still hyped.
 
It's so annoying that developers have tried to leverage this event as a time to share concepts and educate one other on their craft, when it used to be all about the publishers hyping their triple-A games.
 
Why the Crytek of Power, Nintendo of Wisdom and AMD of ..Courage?

Edit: Actually, Crytek of Courage ('cause they dared to release Crysis which was like way too powerful for hardware at the time) Nintendo of Wisdom (Cause they make rocking games) and AMD of Power 'cause they supply..GPU/CPU power?

Edit 2: I wish GAF had Crazy Train playing whenever hype levels reach critical mass, would be amazing. But I guess we're not 4chan so that won't happen.

Edit 3: I like turtles.

that's some first class dissonance right there - sounds like you're ready!
