More Destiny at E3

Today during a Game Developers Conference panel, Bungie teased it will share more information about its new action-shooter Destiny at the 2013 Electronic Entertainment Expo, which runs June 9-11.

"See you at E3," Destiny writer and director Joe Staten said.

Bungie also shared a host of Destiny concept art images today during the panel, as part of a discussion regarding the company's world-building techniques. Staten and art director Christopher Barrett explained how Bungie's goal for Destiny was to create a world that mattered and that lasted, while also being flexible and accommodating to anything the community creates.

More Destiny concept art is available at Bungie's website.

Lastly, Bungie showed off a video (below) that offers a look into the character art, development, and design of Destiny. It includes early drawings, concept art, animation, and in-engine character models.

GameSpot sat down with Staten and Barrett today following their presentation. This conversation will be posted in the time ahead.

Disney Infinity GDC Demo: Freedom and Opportunity to Create

I know that this is off topic, but I just wanted to ask, why hasn't GameSpot mentioned the Hyperkin Retron 5?

http://www.theverge.com/2013/3/23/4140592/hyperkin-retron-5-gaming-console-can-play-almost-any-cartridge

You can emulate, sure, but this thing is cool (if it works, which I imagine will). Sorry for being off topic, but I thought it was worth mentioning, and I hope it gets noticed here.

GameSpot Asia Beat Ep. 20: End of March Madness

March 29, 2013 3:20AM PDT

The month of March comes to a close; GameSpot Asia and friends talk about BioShock Infinite (no spoilers), Tomb Raider, SimCity and others.

March is almost over, which means that there wouldn't be too many titles assaulting our gaming senses. Between playing through the likes of BioShock Infinite, Tomb Raider, and SimCity, along with keeping track of GDC news like that Metal Gear game consisting of hospital scenes and flaming horses, we confess that it's a tough juggling act to decide what to focus on talking about for the show.

Joining Randolph and I in our games-talking are ESPN Game's Marc "The Fraggot" Lim and GXBlog's Michael Khoo. On with the podcast!

Download the show here. What are the games you've been playing this month? Are you stoked about Metal Gear Solid V? Talk about it on the comments box below.

Game Developers Choice Awards 2013

And with that Journey Awards 2013 are over.

Journey is practically the only game that has a level of originality and is still mainstream enough to appeal to many people.

It doesn't win because it's so amazingly great but rather because in an industry that lately is desperately lacking in originality and ambition there is a dearth of competition.

Now Playing - Neverwinter (New Closed Beta Update)

I gave up on this mmo when I reached my mid 20's and found that the only way to identify items you receive is to farm id scrolls or purchase them with in game currency. When asked in general several times, the community acknowledged that they only way to get more ID scrolls and therefore sell items at any value; is to farm up scrolls or spend in game currency.

So standard green and blue mmo drops have been turned into a cash sink. To put this in relation, from 1 to 29 I earned over 1000 crystals that can be used to buy in game items such as scrolls. To buy one ID scroll it was 800 crystals. So compounded with the limited inventory space, which of course you can pay RL cash to expand; and the fact that you can't even get items out of your inventory without spending RL cash unless you want to sell the item for one copper, the game has a really horrible MT process.

Battlefield 4 - Fishing in Baku Gameplay Trailer

well actually, considering the end of this video, it goes by an even worse Cliche than russians or whatnot as the bad guys, it goes by the "it's all a conspiracy, in the end it's the american muddling from the shadows" Cliche... just as chewed up, and also the cliche that killed the story of BF3 for me, when it turns out the two CIA agents were the ones rolling the dice all along and Solomon was their mole.

but who cares about (lol) story, this is Battlefield! Battlefield is all about unadulterated multiplayer meyham.  i wonder why DICE even bother with the story... so much work asset could have turned up for the MP side of things!

Battlefield 4 - Fishing in Baku Interview

@ricocs my thoughts exactly... doesn't look that much better than BF3... particles are up. but that's about it.

cod syndrome? then again frostbite was made for next gen, so the reason that we don't see much difference, is probably because BF3 on PC was nextgen.  still if this is PS4/nextbox multiplatform.. then think about how the exlusives on PS4 will look. not to hate on the Xbox, but PS bring out some awesome looking games on 7 year old hardware...

BioShock: Infinite Graphics Comparison

I really don't understand why they make these 'console vs PC graphics comparison' videos. We all know that the PC version will have the best graphics (It has to, because we're comparing a current generation PC to 5 year old consoles) while the graphics on the xbox 360 and PS3 will be more or less similar.

People who own gaming PCs will definitely play this (or any decently optimized multiplatform game) on their PCs because that's what they bought the expensive PC for. People who play most of their games on consoles are less likely to own cutting edge gaming PCs which usually means that they don't obsess too much about having the 'best graphics possible' and have a good idea of what they are 'missing out' on. There are very few dedicated console gamers who will actually consider getting a gaming PC after seeing a video like this and no hardcore PC gamer will ever think about buying a console after seeing a graphics comparison video.

I'm a PC gamer myself, yet I have to (sadly) admit that these videos are only made to stoke the egos of people with quad SLI setups.

New Map Haven for Gears of War: Judgment at PAX East 2013

Who the hell are these people?? Kelly Kelley? Seriously? That's a name? And TSquared?? WTF? And why are they being shoved down our throats like we know them for years and years accompanied by their horrible nicknames that they sound like they gave themselves five minutes before they went on camera to be "edgy" and "cool" and accepted by the masses?

WTF are these people?????
