Cool, a live demonstration of Mass Effect due on Wednesday at E3. If you click on the WEDNESDAY tab you can see the schedule.

Really want to see what this baby can do (hopefully intergalactic freedom and destructible environments).

Heh heh, Mercenaries 2 preview at IGN-

http://uk.ps3.ign.com/articles/802/802293p1.html

I loved the first one, this will probably be crap and rough as hell (I mean come on its even on the PS2 as well) but maybe, just maybe.....

Over two hundred vehicles!

You can destroy virtually EVERYTHING!

You can even start forest fires!

You can arm a vehicle with C4, drive it towards a target and then bail out and detonate it when it hits. :D

How on earth can this not be sandbox heaven?

I'm watching this with just one eye, as I think it may be a little bit rough too. If it ain't then it could be right up my destructive as hell street!

No it doesn't. I've never actually played a Turok game, but the Graphics Whore(tm) in me suddenly seems interested in this bad boy.

Played the first two on the N64.

Number 1 was excellent for its time imo. There was loads of fogging but it actually helped the games atmosphere where dinos could jump out at you any time. Loads of cool weapons and exploration. Cliffs and chasms ahoy!

Number 2 used the expansion pack. It looked nice and detailed and had a wicked bow and arrow but was too annoying to play as it progressed.

Third was supposedly a bit rubbish.

Its always a franchise with loads of potential though cos, well it fucking dinosaurs and big guns innit!

And has it always had dinosaurs AND bad (human) dudes, cos this one certainly has?

I have to admit that some of those vids were resembling almost movie-like levels of goodness - the next gen (as always) has crept up on us despite the constant harping on about it not being here. Just go and play Gears Of War for a bit and tell me that doesn't look like summink you could only dream about up to a coupla years ago.

The Killzone 2 trailer is actually pretty good and similar to Motorstorm in how close it is to the rendered one from last year.

Just had a quick look at that trailer and it does look rather nice doesn't it!

Never played the original but I liked the demo.

I thought that Killzone looked meh to the max - seems to be aping Gears Of War and failing. I gather that the first wasn't all that, so not too fussed, although from the point of view of actually playing summink on the PS3 (rather than just using it as a dust-magnet/photo viewer) it's got some appeal at least.

Assassin's Creed looks vaguely interesting and Halo 3 looks like more of the same I guess. More excited by Call Of Duty 4 and Turok at the mo I'd say....oh and Bioshock.

Blimey I thought the Killzone trailer looked UBER impressive myself. If that is in game footage then thats gotta be one of the most advanced games around, especially when you consider the environments are supposed to be destructible! Some fucking superb lighting and environmental effects too.

As someone who wasn't impressed at all by GOW's gameplay and lmited scale this really hasn't got a lot to beat on that score.

I shall observe it in more minute detail once I download it on a non-crap work PC, just in case I have been put off by shitty PC syndrome.

There are HD vids up now all over the place and plenty of impressions from Eurogamer, IGN, Kotaku etc.

They are all pretty unanimous in being extremely impressed. Looked at the vids a few times and there seems to be tons going off. Superb lighting and smoke, masonry shredding off walls, multiple hit points on Hellghast etc.

Certainly the graphics engine looks the bomb. Whether it plays anything more than a generic shooter remains to be seen, but I have heard that the Hellghast affect the weather and that cover positions disentigrate under fire.

Guerilla have pulled off the hype first base with aplomb if nowt else.

Should be some downloadable media on the PSN network shortly if you have got a free fortnight. :lol:
