My N7 Collectors Edition (and model SSV Normandy SR2) just shipped :woot: it's so close now! can't wait :drool:

Its the 8th for us here in Oz :(

Collectors Edition is all sold out aswell...i'm hoping they have a few on the shelf at the local JB on Thursday though so I can pick it up then.

I know, feels like an age away..still due to the time different our American friends are only getting it a day earlier. As to getting yourself a Collectors Edition on launch day, considering alot of people cancelled their pre-orders over the Origin debarkle (for the PC version) and the more recent Prothean DLC debarkle, I'd say your chances of grabing a copy on Thursday are pretty good (Y).

Those benchmarks are not too promising..i hope my radeon 5850 can handle me3.

it can no problem. i have the same card. if you look up a bunch of benchmarks our card has more horsepower then a 6850 and if you OC it a bit it's faster then a 6870.

people who have used this garbage called origin before... do they do midnight releases? I.E. can I play me3 tonight at midnight?

WOW, wtf that's not "kinda" lame, that's complete bull****.

Now I wish I hadn't watched that. Yeah "spoilers", but the video says "Launch Trailer".

It's really unfortunate that you were spoiled by that video disguised as a launch trailer. :( I removed the link so no one else can get spoiled.

What was spoiler-ish about it?

I don't know for sure. I just heard a voice and assumed it was the ending of Mass Effect 3. Fortunately for me, I only watched a couple of seconds of it.

EDIT: For those that preloaded ME3 on Origin, you can unlock it with FLYVPN (see here). Some people did the same thing when Battlefield 3 was launched earlier in regions outside of North America and Europe. :D

if you want to play it early you can use a hong kong proxy to bypass the release check and download the unencrypted .exe now. just make sure your origin account is in offline mode untill its released in your area. i just did this and it worked fine.

5850 is slightly faster than 6850 and 6850 gets 90+fps in High Detail in 1920x1080, how is that not promising?

he's probably not as knowledgeable as us about the hardware and is going by the model numbers only ;)

like i mentioned earlier

it can no problem. i have the same card. if you look up a bunch of benchmarks our card has more horsepower then a 6850 and if you OC it a bit it's faster then a 6870.

Played the Mass Effect 3 demo and started thinking I should probably get the other 2 and play thru those. I'll play thru it some more tonight but it seemed pretty good. If anything i'll at least try finding ME2.

You should definitely play through the first two, even before you play ME3. They provide a hell of a lot of back story as to what will be going on, and using your previous saves from ME and ME2 will affect how ME3 plays out (meaning that we'll all have different games depending on our choices in the previous game(s)). Some differences may prove quite game changing too. :)

On top of that, they're also epic games. Some of the later cutscenes in ME2 aren't just good for a game, they put a lot of movies to shame too. I'm currently replaying them both (lost my previous saves) to catch up before ME3 comes out, I'm not going to make it (still a few days left of ME2 to go), but frankly I don't care, since I'm thoroughly enjoying playing them.

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
