I really hope she is. I love watching her tower over the male developers and producers :haw: And she seems like a good person, even if the E3 bits are super cringe.

Every year I look up her height and she's only 6 ft. and every year I'm shocked by how tiny the french guys are.

So is this just "gently caress canon, every episode happens at once"? How can Rey and Maul be in the same place at the same time?

(Note that I haven't played BF1 so maybe it was like that there too)

I think it's some sort of special demo, because in the real version most people will just be playing as the grunts right?

On the moon... they don't make Neo Kobe Pizza.

Ahead of Bethesda's conference, some retailers have leaked Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus. Allegedly due out October 27th for PC/PS4/XB1, which is an interesting date because apparently that puts it up against the new AssCreed.

And on the lighter side of things, here's Yoko Taro doing his thing. I wonder if he'll be around this year?

My body is ready.

But honestly, I think it would be cool (even if probably prohibitively expensive and big) to have a VR experience like that. .... Has anything really good come out of VR since 2016?

Players at various points get a chance to spawn as a hero character and play them for a life. It always was a bit of a mashup. There were also hero battles in past games too. The multiplayer matches aren't restricted by canon because it's more fun.

Edit: I bet those omni treadmill things are fun. VR is a fun toy.

vr would be cool if it didn't cost as much as a new computer or gaming system all by itself

vv - thats boring, I'd love to play racing/spaceship games with a VR headset of some kind.

Maybe it's a current technological necessity, but it just seems like VR has nothing in common with videogames AT ALL, and yet the only thing people can think to do with the tech is shoehorn it into traditional videogame paradigms.

VR is its own thing, it has about as much in common with videogames as a camera obscura has with a polaroid.

Count me out until VR is used for something interesting.
