So...the Skyrim 1.5 patch finally released on consoles...and it ruins the PS3 version. Every single time the player enters water, the game will freeze. Bethesda is aware and they recommend deleting the entire game and reinstalling.

Are they even trying? Oh yeah, Bethesda, I'll uninstall the game...and never reinstall it.

To anyone interested in the PC release of Demon's Souls, the game will not be available through Steam.

I don't recognize any of the characters that aren't Capcom.

Me either, except maybe Ulala from SEGA.

Found this:

A friend gave me the link, downloaded it last night. Free for play, Blacklight Retribution. It's an FPS game exclusive to the PC. Been playing it most of the morning, pretty decent game IMO.

So did we ever find out what the grandma's funeral video was? Episode 3 or no?

There's quite an interesting forum topic about it on the Steam forums: http://forums.steampowered.com/forum....php?t=2642611

The video was actually first uploaded by a former Valve employee Gray Horsfield (Much longer than the one posted earlier in the thread) along with another video.

First video he uploaded was supposedly of an unannounced space game from Valve called SOB:


And the full HL prototype video:


It's very interesting. He said in the YouTube comments that it's not from any game, but I'm not sure about that. If it's a prototype for the new swarm code, it seems way too detailed, the map and everything.

Edit: Just did some analyzing of the video and around the 22 second mark he opens up the console, where it clearly shows the Half Life 2 logo:



Who knows what this is.

Shigeru Miyamoto is apparently all about teasing his fans as E3 2012 draws near. Not only was Super Mario Bros. for Wii U confirmed for the expo, but now Pikmin is also said to be getting an unveiling of its own. Considering it's been practically eight years since the last game in the series was released, I'd say it's about time.

Nintendo are well on their way to being the highlight of E3 this year.

Honestly can't wait for Pikmin 3, those games were amazing. I can't wait for Super Mario Wii-U either, but I'd rather see Pikmin 3 hit stores first.

[Spiderpig24]

See these are the kind of announcements that make me wait on getting a Vita.

I still have hopes on Half Life 3. It's been a year since Portal 2, and about 5 Years since HL2 Ep. 2. And the fact that video was designed in Half Life 2 Episode 2 it makes me suspicious. For all we know though, it could just be an employee trying out some mods. maybe we'll see at E3

It's possible, but since rumors of that Steam console are still circulating, maybe they will wait and debut them both, with HL3 as a launch title. If its any game that can be a true system seller, it's HL3.

Rumor: Valve and Apple are apparently working on a console with Kinect-like capabilities.

These rumors are getting more ridiculous, wouldn't you guys say?

Agreed. I've had my hopes up and been disappointed by the lack of Pikmin for countless E3 conferences. I'm glad to know that things will be different this time. As for Super Mario Wii U, if it's simply an HD-remake of NSMB, I'll have to pass. The Mario series needs to make some changes rather than stick with what's currently hot, in other words the Galaxy and "New" games.

[Spiderpig24]

I wouldn't object a sequel to Super Mario 64, a true sequel rather than another Galaxy game.

[Pleiades]

I'm trying to think of where Mario could go next though, really. What's left after you've conquered space?

...The heavens, I guess.

Actually, it looks like I was right to be wary of this Mario Bros. game for Wii U.

How disappointing.

So it's essentially a retread of New SMB, which was a retread of the original Mario Bros.

If it *had* to be a retread/remake, I'd personally rather it be of Super Mario 64.

I didn't even like New Super Mario Bros. Wii, essentially trying and failing to recapture the spirit of the classic 2D games. If Nintendo absolutely had to go back to a previous entry, I'd personally like them to give us Super Mario Sunshine 2, my favorite Mario game.
