New Command & Conquer shown off, very few details other than a cringeworthy scripted eSports segment that EA put on stage where someone actually said audibly "Gee Gee".

Doubt Ric Flair is in it though.

Allegedly in-game UFC footage. I never trust EA with these things though.

Keep in mind they did just hire that guy from Valve, and it seems unlikely they're abandoning the market entirely.

that being said, the Batman games were patched WOOOO! I have no games to worry about!

Oh yeah, with AOE2HD going Steamworks, it just seems that any MS published games in the future will all go down this route.

Going to have to go through my STeam backlog, see what uses GFWL and clear them out first, just in case patches aren't forthcoming.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the only one I have is AA. I'll have to check, though.

Is there a quick way to check? I don't want to check each game in my library manually.

Good god Ubisoft has actually announced Tom Clancy's The Division is coming to PC.

Good on EA for the return policy.

I don't think there is, but I've never really cared much. I tend to avoid games that require a second DRM platform. It's actually kind of dumb enough that people accept Steam....But that's another story.

Have a look at this list and see what games you own: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...93_Live_titles

Forgot about GTA4.

Hey, I have a total of three games. AA, Red Faction Guerrero, and World of Good.

I have played one of those games, so I guess I'd best get to the rest.

Fallout and Dark Souls for me too.

Why is he on a space hopper and why does this seem to annoy him?

The Elder Scrolls Online is justifying its 15 dollar monthly fee in part by "professional customer support."

Well, fuck, I'm sold.

They should just charge 15 a month without making us pay 60 for the game itself. Most people are done with an online RPG within a month or two so we'd save 30 bucks. I really hope Guild Wars 2's model becomes the standard though.

Game companies love to double dip if we let them. That's why we have the war on used games.

TESO will almost certainly go F2P eventually, and that's not a bad thing. It's just the way the market works.

Today's News:
1) Sales - Gamestop is currently having a big "3 For $10" used game sale lasting until September 8th.

4) EA once again states there are no plans to develop Mirror's Edge 2 for the Xbox 360 or PS3 claiming the game is too much of a "next gen idea" to be possible on either platform. Also claimed the designs made for the game wouldn't support those consoles without having to compromise or cut out a lot of stuff.

Glad they're going all out for Mirrors Edge 2. Love DICE.

Quick question. I'm going to be buying the transfer cable for my 360, today and one of the cables comes with software and another one doesn't. Do I need the software or is that for someone who isn't hooked to the internet?

Today's News:
1) Ubisoft states Rainbow 6: Patriots is still in development although the game's original storyline planned was hinted to have been scrapped or pushed into a new direction.
http://www.destructoid.com/rainbow-6...t-260606.phtml

2) According to DICE, they haven't completely decided on what they want to do for Star Wars: Battlefront stating they are currently split on determining which parts of the Battlefield series will be used or influenced for Battlefront.
http://www.destructoid.com/dice-hasn...t-260538.phtml

3) Ryse: Son of Rome was revealed to contain microtransactions with the system being compared to Mass Effect 3 and the FIFA series in terms of similarities.
http://www.videogamer.com/xboxone/ry...nsactions.html

Hopefully DICE uses the "Levelution" stuff they just revealed in battlefront. Could imagine a Star Destroyer crashing onto the map like the ship in the recent Battlefield 4 vid.

Don't talk dirty to me.

Is Crysis 2 Single Player any good?

Since I've got the key for the PC version and I play on using a controller anyway, I have no interest in competitive multiplayer.

Buuuuut it is essentially a free game as I got it as part of the Origin Bundle I was already buying for other titles.

I hear there's a good non-player character that makes it worth slogging through. I've got the game also, just haven't played it at all.

From what I've read, Crisis 3 is a wasteland, so good luck finding a match in 2.

Since I have "no interest" in multiplayer, why would I need luck finding a match?

I was really drunk shut up

Fignuts wins again!

Today's News:

3) EA also stated they are currently planning a rotation of Battlefield, Titanfall, and Star Wars Battlefront series as the basis for their big annual FPS game.

4) Bethseda states they are currently in discussions with Microsoft to get the Xbox Live Gold fee/requirement waived for Elder Scrolls Online on the Xbox 360.
http://www.destructoid.com/bethesda-...e-260851.phtml

EA always talks about rotations and they literally never do it.

Ughhhhhhhhhh EA :foc:

What's wrong with that? Battlefield has a f2p game and the core series rolls on.

Smelly kinda wrote that out wrong now that I read it.

I was referring to the no emphasis on offline/single player gaming part.

Battlefield 4 has campaign mode. Mirror's Edge will certainly have its story mode. Story modes were added into the Need for Speed series at EA's desire.

The message is that there will no longer be strictly single player games and everything will have online functions of some sort added - which would really seem no different than the last few years of EA's offerings.
