Heh first screen shot, swat guys hanging off of an SUV in a high speed chase, can see that game mechanic getting ridiculous... thumbs up for 'Ponch and Jon' though, would have been hilarious if they used the actors for the voices and theme music on a chase.

With the totally fucked up copyright laws somebody probably owns vengeance, so they slapped an re in front of it, which doesn't really work because it's a noun and not a verb... still, nitpicking over a name, seriously?

Heh, TB says it brought his SLI Titans machine to its knees (well with SSAA on) and is the best looking game hes played yet. Also says it's the best FPS of the year so far.

Exclusive... damn, there goes any hope whatsoever of someone producing niche Star Wars games like a new X-wing. Knew Disney wasn't going to do shit with it but hoped they would license out the brand to anyone who wanted to go for it... not give friken EA an exclusive license... here comes Call of Star Wars 1-infinity.

Hey Blue, hate to complain about the site, but these auto-run ads with sound are friken annoying.
I don't mind auto-run-ads if it helps you make a buck, but the sound part sucks.

We aren't supposed to have any of those. Can you tell me what you are seeing ads for?

Most are ok, Woolite is one with sound. Lysol has sound... heh, after the Lysol one it kicked to another video on how to juice a prickly pear, lol. Bell has sound. Finish has sound (heh and prickly pear juicing) Got a weird one where an after earth ad runs with a notice my video will start in X seconds then after the ad it pukes out... I think thats it. Could be a region related issue, I'm in western Canada... and I did notice that other then the Bell commercial all the ones with sound had the 'play, pause, progress, mute, sound bar' at the bottom... I'm using Chrome... oh and it's only the 4:3 ad box beside the first few news items.

That half second shot at 1:36 is in the game. http://youtu.be/dIIAeFsx7bA?t=4m14s The lighting is slightly different, and that's it. Lighting is a common thing to have change and not lawsuit worthy. If movie and game companies got sued for everything that changed from trailer to final production, nobody would make entertainment any more. But good on you for picking out a fraction of a second shot in a trailer that has lighting different than the final product. You deserve millions in compensation.

The second example you gave is a pre-rendered cutscene halfway through the game (not in-engine like some of the cutscenes in the game). Which you would know if you had played the game and had any clue what you are talking about.

http://youtu.be/dIIAeFsx7bA 12:06, the exact shot, from a cutscene, that is in the final game.

There are plenty of articles and websites dedicated to listing scenes from trailers that changed or were omitted entirely in their final products. The marketing studios that cut trailers get their material months and months in advance of a game or movie being finished. The material they have is what gets used.

Other lawsuits of this nature go nowhere, and this one will die quickly too.

Yup, my bad on the second one, thought it was from the very first cut scene at the start of the game.

Question on this. The big deal was being made about the way a demo looked 6 months (there was one back in 2011, too) before release. However, there were three trailers released right before the game shipped.

I don't own the game, but maybe someone can address it. Do these look better/different than what shipped?

It's exactly how the game looked at launch. Looks better after the 4gig patch. Everyone's complaints are based on the E3 Demo footage.

No it isn't how the game looked at launch... Those are not final release game footage, they are using the E3 footage. Pause trailer 2 @ 1:36 that's clearly E3 footage. Pause trailer 3 @ 0:58, again clearly E3 footage... same footage they used on the TV spots, IE not what was shipped.

What this suit is alleging is that Gearbox showed that footage knowing the game wouldn't look like that. That's almost impossible to prove.

Dude, they used the old didn't make the final cut game footage in their TV commercials which ran AFTER the game went gold AND after it had already shipped.

Um ya the "work in progress" argument isnt going to work seeing as they used that footage in their TV commercials. Blatant false advertising.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7BkqmMNQWA

I wish game devs could get their asses sued off for knowingly releasing a buggy product... but it'll never happen. There are no consumer rights only corporate rights and I expect the courts to shaft the consumer as per usual.

Ditto...

"GTA V's world is bigger than Grand Theft Auto: San Andres, Grand Theft Auto IV, and Read Dead Redemption combined. Wow."

Wow is an understatement.

EDIT: you can customize vehicles and weapons... sweet... and this one sounds like a true sandbox game, if I understand correctly you will not have to partake in any of the missions at all and still have full access to everything the game offers.

Gonna be a tough call to buy any more games for the PS3 now if I think I can get a better version for the PS4 in the near future.
For more money, of course. I don't think the PS4 games will be $60.
My guess is PS4 games $69.99 PS3 games $49.99

Tough call. I'm sure the devs would want to up the prices but I dont see the console makers wanting to risk it. I just dont see Microsoft or Sony taking the chance when they want get people to buy the new consoles... especially in this economy. Besides they have already pretty much done so via DLC. I see them keeping that trend going as opposed to upping the base game price. Besides Pachter predicted it so it must be BS
