PAX East


Recommended Posts

Is anyone here going? If so, which days? And any specific panels or events you're looking forward too?

See you there if you are. I'll post pics or vids when I return from the convention.

For ?428.99 it better do more than render graphics. Those benchmarks are rigged anyway. Real world has them performing at the same levels as ATI's cards which is disappointing as we won't see a price drop now. :(

Although multi-screen 3D was a huge push with it (especially with presentations/demos by DICE, THQ, and EA), the most impressive thing to me was it's physics and particles. It comes bundled with a "game" where the user can mess with the physics and amount of particles on the screen. And seeing a bridge explode into millions of textured pieces was damn impressive. Hopefully developers will take full advantage of this technology.

I was looking at the hexus review and saw the benchmarks were worrying low on bad company 2.

They have till the end of April to fix it when I buy my new card!

Ugh a PS3, second hand 360 and pc upgrades all in 3 months. I hate gaming sometimes my wallet can't handle it! :(

I was really surprised at the lack of Sony presence there. The only ps3 I saw at the entire convention was used by the Play On team to demonstrate their app. No Move bummed me out.

The indie developers were by far the true stars of the show. Twisted Pixel is now one of my favorite developers. Spent some time hanging out with them, all down to earth people. Will be buying Comic Jumper on day one.

Other highlights:

Mafia II looks fantastic

Will be buying Shank on XBLA

Dead Space 2 sneak peak was pretty awesome

Naughty Dog building a new Uncharted level was cool

Red Dead Revolver was pretty cool

Starcraft 2 was pretty cool (although I'm not much of an RTS player)

Skate 3 was okay

The new Prince of Persia was okay

The size of shots in Boston were a lot larger than I anticipated
