Huxley is such a cool name it totaly silences the competetion when you just say "Huxley", pwoned.

I am waiting to see how Webzen will do the game they are pretty new but they liseced UE3 so they should not have any bugs.

Any news about ET: Quake Wars ?

[Aphex_Tom_9]

UT2K7 looks amazing :)

UT2K7 looks amazing :)

First post updated with bigger list of nex gen PC games at E3. Plus my sources of nex gen e3 news also updated for everyone.

Though I couldn't put up NeverWinter Nights 2 as though the graphics are amazing for a third person rpg and the gameplay is to die for, the graphics weren't up to par with other unreal3-ish games in the list.

But I'd recommend checking it out anyway. Thread stickied again for news purposes.

Regarding Call of Duty 3

http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/callofduty3/news.html?sid=6149040

[RAMMAN]

i thought Call of Duty 3 is console only?

[perkam]

i thought Call of Duty 3 is console only? Because CoD has a big competitor that it may not be able to compete with on PC...Brother In Arms Hell's Highway, check the movie a few posts up.

A smart move I'd say.

Perkam

[brandinb]

wow thank god for unreal engine 3 i think it will make pc gaming live alot longer. im glad an engine like that can make it so developers can easily cross develope so they can make awesome pc games and still make a ton of money on the console side hehe.

long live pcgameing!

[Drunner611]

Are all these next gen games going to be DX10, or will an x1900 or 7900gtx be able to play them?

[ferrari_freak]

long live pcgameing!

:toast:

Scrw a console, I'm playing this on the pc.

Agreed. UT2K7 looks AWESOME :slobber: can't wait. Been waiting a long time for it to come out. Anyway, most of you probably already know, and Perkam put in a link to the site, but for those of you too lazy to look for them, here's a bunch of videos from E3 including Red Steel for the Wii, maybe that controller has potential. We'll see when Red Steel comes out. Here: http://www.gamespot.com/e3/e3videos.html

:slobber: :slobber: :eek2: :eek2: :shock: :shock: omg that looks sick

[perkam]

:slobber: :slobber: :eek2: :eek2: :shock: :shock: omg that looks sick Only one problem with all of these games: Both PS3 and X360 have unified shader architecture...the 7900GTX and X1900XTX will bleed at 1024x768 playing those with AA and AF, especially with many nex gen games having HDR automatically enabled.

And we all know what HDR+AA does to video cards.

Perkam

[brandinb]

uhhh command and conquer 3 uses the battle for middle earth 2 engine and that will run easily on any mid end gpu!

btw i dont think the ps3 has unified shaders not that it helps any at this point anyways.

the ps3 isn't unified... it's essentially a geforce 7. :slap:

Is it possible that it will not do HDR+AA then? Which explains the jaggies in several of the PS3 demos, including MGS4? Hummm I surely hope it can do HDR+AA... would be a shame if not.

[-thc-(cZ)]

I think:

C&C - 2D
C&C Generals - 1st 3D
C&C 3 - next gen 3D

..at that detail with all those units, I suspect 1-10fps w/ hi-end HW.. lookes like 4GB of RAM or more and gf8k needed?

[Hicks]

but am having my doubts lol.

Perkam

Why Perk? It looks awesome. The only thing that worries me is paying 15quid for a 5hour game. Id rather have old school expansions, Steam and these episodes is more a of a way to rip us off. If they release them say every 3 months or so, then it will be ok, but i doubt it.

If they release them say every 3 months or so, then it will be ok, but i doubt it.It's not that, the nintendo ds lite is coming with native wifi support for $129 and the opera browser for less than $30, and I have a feeling I'm better off with that than a pc game until the consoles hit...for which you can thank ati and nvidia for teasing us with DX10 tech instead of telling us what and when.

Perkam

[brandinb]

Really ? Where did you read that ?

Perkam

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAGE_engine

thats not where i read it though but it supports what i said.

i belive i read it in pcgamer? or maybe a cnc3 preview i cannot remember.

it is suped up sage engine basically the same engine as bfme2

either way it means the game is going to run great and be very scaleable!!!

I'm so bummed I had to give up my passes for friday because of a job interview.

[Anarki]

If I owned that console I could see myself accidently letting go of the controller if I was playing tennis and watching it smash against my wall :slap:

Looks very interesting, I wonder if it will as good when it comes out.

PC Games (http://www.computerbase.de/news/software/spiele/2006/mai/e3_bildern_spiele_pc/)
XBox360 Games (http://www.computerbase.de/news/software/spiele/2006/mai/e3_bildern_spiele_xbox_360/)
PlayStation 3 Games (http://www.computerbase.de/news/software/spiele/2006/mai/e3_bildern_spiele_playstation_3/)

[Anarki]

It maybe just be me, but the Xbox 360 pics look a lot better than the PS3's.

Example, Tekken 6, the picture of Kazuya getting punched by that girl, his gloves are going through his arm and his ear is as jaggy as my hack saw blade.

Whereas the close up pic of the Black guy on the dead man rising game, looks very good, his teeth look individual instead of one white block. The other facial features look good also.

I realise these are two different genres of game, and I realise i've probably annoyed PS fans, but hey, blow me :p:

[Absolute_0]

I'm pleasantly surprised with a lot of the next gen games, things are lookin good. I am also seeing more to the Wii that makes it look like a good console.

[perkam]

UPDATE - I'll keep this up at least till the end of May.

For all you RTS lovers :D
Check out these E3 videos:

C&C3: Tiberium Wars:

would have been good to see actual gameplay, tho :(

Supreme Commander
http://www.gametrailers.com/gamepage.php?fs=1&id=2765
Long gameplay video. Looks nice

http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/supremecommander/index.html?autoplay=6151629
Simmilar, but has some stuff that wasnt shown on the previous video. Its also a better and shorter video.

Medieval II: Total War:
http://files.filefront.com/Medieval+II+Total+War+E3+2006+Movie+HiRes/;5074029;/fileinfo.html
HD Trailer of M2:TW. I think the motion blur is exagerated :rolleyes: Hopefully it can be disabled. Other than that, the game looks nice

[perkam]

Biggest surprise of E3 for RPG fans was that the game named "The Witcher" took home many RPG prizes despite Neverwinter Nights 2 being one of the biggest sponsors/budgets and prescence in E3.

I see, thanks. I'll have to give that a couple of google searches to see how it compares to the R500 used in the X360.

I was under the impression C&C3 would stray away from the GDI and NOD... I thought they were going to create a whole new universe.

[Hicks]

Supremme Commander is going to seriously kick some ass.

I can't wait for those massive spider things, to start reaking havoc.
