http://www.gametrailers.com/netstorage/e3/e3-live.html Great coverage before and after aswell.

... Oh yeah, one thing that's a bit crap about coming to the series so late is that I know Sully isn't dead! Dramatic plot twist No.1 Fail! lol. So to make up for it I'm speculating as to why his death was faked.
Cool, looking forward to playing some more.

"Today I was discussing the camera I'm saving for (Canon 5D MK2, £1700 for just the camera, no lenses!"
Bar 3 [probably indistinguishable] megapixels.. what does the 5D significantly offer over something like the 60D for example, that comes in at around half the price and shoots faster FPS'?
You could then spend the extra money on lenses.
I'm looking to upgrade my camera atm.

(part 2)
Couple of things though. Have they fixed the aiming for Uncharted 2 because you can sometimes have what you think is a perfect headshot lined up (head right in the circle), and you'll fire over the top of them! *restarts from last checkpoint being a perfectionist* :p
Also sometimes Up on the controller doesn't quite seem to be straight; causing me to very occasionally run or jump off to the side instead of forward. Though I have feeling this might be due to my hand position not being quite right on the left analogue stick, so when I instinctly shift what I think is directly up, it isn't quite. And also the fact the controller doesn't have an 8 way directional edge around the sticks, the fuck.

*After a Googling* This was Claire from last week
They loved her two dishes for the food critics (as did the critics)...
“And I knew Michel Roux liked my chocolate sorbet when he stole the recipe off my bench and waved it in the air, saying ‘I’ve got it!’” LOL :p
Also Honeybee, I've posted a funny clip from the Alan Carr interview in the Gaga thread, which is brilliant!

Happy Birthday man!
Have a great day!
Here's hoping Alonso can turn it on this weekend for ya!

100 Percent! 2yrs (or whatever) on and Louise is still awkward and crap, fluffs her lines/links, stupid questions, still hasn't bothered to learn anything about cooking etc... Amanda ftw!... please keep her!!
I'm gonna see that Invincibles image everytime I click on here for a while yet!
-
Ah that's a bit annoying, I thought I might be doing really well treasure wise and not missed any! :p (of course that might be the case but now I won't know!)
Yeah good! I'm currently in the partially flooded foundations beneath the Fortress.
Scaling the outside of the fortress was pretty cool. I still think there are a few too many firefights though. I seem to kind of be moving from one to the next at the moment. I'd rather have more exploration and 'puzzles' like the opening section of the game... which hopefully there is more of.
I'm finding it hard to let go of my pistol and machine gun (even if it is a bit crap). I know the weapons of choice around the cramped fortress should probably be the shotgun and 35mm as evidenced by them being dropped a lot more. I'm often like this in games though, don't like switching! :p
Jumping straight is still being a bit annoying (that bit when you explode the car and it lodges in the waterfall), but yeah overall, liking it!

American Chef on Saturday Kitchen... Roast Chicken & Bacon Gravy... *YEEEEES*... with Waffles and Maple Syrup.........
.... GET OUT!And take your 'biscuits' with you! :p
-
Ash's own food was incredible tonight! Greg was in desert heaven... mind... blown!!
I loved when Michel said he thought it was maybe a bit rich for him, and Greg said... I think I need to straighten you out on deserts! :p
But I'm still backing Claire FTW atm! x

Can I instead distract your attention with talk of the dramatic Great British Bake Off the other night!! :p
*holds up Mary Berry as a Shield*
Haven't actually got round to playing them yet! Don't really know why, but I've spent very little time gaming lately (I think it's because I know I should be spending more time working on my portfolio to send it out to potential employers).
However I did download the demo of F1 2012 last night which reignited the flame!
Also... having never owned a Playstaion before I'm finding the controller a bit of a bitch, and I want to be comfotable with it and know where all the buttons are instinctly etc... before takling the greatness of Uncharted! I was thinking I might use Portal 2 to help me get used to them.
#OnYourMarksGetSetBake!

Did you say in your Brighton post that you were after Monkey Ball 3DS?... if so it's £8.99 @Play for today only.
Also... WTF happened to Something For The Weekend?!! *sadface*
I hadn't watched it for quite a few weeks because I'd been busy... then when I did go to watch it I found it wasn't on that weekend... then I started seeing these adverts for Tim/Simon on Ch4... and now they're on Ch4 doinf near enough the exact same programme! (I only caught the last 10mins of it last week)...
... I'll tell you what, that's going to some extreme lengths to get rid of Louise! :p
-
Did you see them talking about those American Biscuits/Scones on SFTW this morning. I was loving it, because those things are fucked up! They came with breakfast at the hotel, they came with KFC... they come with EVERYTHING, and yet they go with absolutely NOTHING!!
Stupid America!

Enjoyed climbing all over the Fortress! Getting to the tower and finding Drakes telescope, then getting captured and The Escape!
Elena is awesome! Every character in this has been done so well so far, even the short 5 mins of Eddie, the characterisation and voice acting for everyone is brillaint!Feels like I should have a gun with a scope on it at times. Twice now I haven't even been able to see that there's a barrel next to the chain gunners.
Next chapter looks good, the Flooded City! (also the way your clothes get wet when you swim never fails to amaze me! :p)
-
Gah but it's tempting to know what went down! But yeah I not really bothered enough to spend that much time watching it!
Prison Break FTW!
-
Glad to hear it arrived before the weekend, so you can get some Resi action in!!
Definately recommend using the CPP controls for the game (although I didn't try the normal), and there are some customisation options for it in the menu should you want anything changed.
Enjoy!

Going great, some GREAT stuff! Bit worried I'm getting towards the final chapters!?
Got Sully back, headed underground, re-emerged in ruined Church, now I'm at the point of heading underground again!! Worst thing is I know what I'm gonna come across at some point!
The only prior experience I have of Uncharted is watching Eddage finish off the first game (can't really remember the story though), but at the time he called them Zombie dudes... (I now know it's what happened to the ancient civilisation) and that's where it's all been pointing since comming up river! Now going underground again, the anticipation of one of them running round a corner at me or something is too much! :p
Also I did think the treasure hunting was going really well, but if I am drawing in on the final chapters well I've got a lot to find still! But that would surprise me as I think I've been really thorough and even found ones that I'd have thought could have been misable. We'll see!
Love Elena!

haha
... that's great to hear Danny!Bit of a quiet time for the WiiU at the moment, but yeah Myself and Hero-of-Time fought hard for this new forum structure; with General Gaming allowing people to get into interesting discussions more, a bigger variety of topics, and to act as a bit more of a middle ground between General Chat.
Hopefully a few more will migrate down from that board too, and hey, if you know anyone else who might want to sign up!
-
haha cheers!
They do look fine in that video. I think it probably is more to do with me not knowing exactly how to use them and instinctly hold the controller yet. Tbh with the shoulder buttons I wasn't sure if I should be having a finger on each (so two up top), or just one, which is what I went for and what is apparently right, as that's what you do.
Also wasn't sure how much I should be gripping the 'handles', and yeah knowing how to use the sticks.
All this sounds incredibly lame on my part, I mean it's a controller ffs! But it just goes to show how difficult it can be to shift from the feel you've always been used to!
-
haha, oh go on then... you video loving git! :p
I didn't mind video 1, I'm probably less thrilled about this, but it's not too bad!
Thanks for the heads up though.
