It was? Kinda expected as much, crytek like to keep pushing the PC platform forward, and theyve not really had anything lined up. Guess its aimed at windows 7 DX11 timeframe.

I thought they were doin a crysis 1 port for the consoles, oh well.
I wonder why they announced it this early, the show hasnt even begun, so many studios kinda killing the surprise for one reason or the other....lets just hope theres something kept for the actual show.

Only 5 hours to go now.

I kinda agree, but at the same time, if you're into whatever it is they're legoing next, that kinda does hold appeal to you. I mean Star Wars is universally recognizable, we all have some kind of relationship with those movies, but the newer games are getting more specific. If they ever roll out something that I was a big fan of growing up, I'll probably be interested.

It's kind of like the Guitar Heroes they keep churning out. As long as it's stuff I'm totally indifferent to, like Metallica and Aerosmith, they can totally keep it, but if they make a GH featuring a band I AM completely into, I'm so buying that.

Games have kind of evolved past being for everyone and gone into this - for us veterans - kinda awkward zone of appealing to specific sub audiences. I know people who didn't even pay attention to Lego games until they made one of Batman. They loved the knobs off of that one.

I see some Irn-Bru in there. Greatest drink in the world.

Who are Ruffian Games?

Strange memories on this nervous night in Las Vegas. Has it been five years? Six? It seems like a lifetime.

Yea, i dont mind this, they appeal to specific audiences, they have a formula that works and that can be applied to any franchise so theyre bound to exploit it.

I do think it's got a wee bit over the top though, i mean it seems like every week theres a new guitar hero coming out, you could practically have a guitar hero / rock band shop and still fill it to the rafters with games.

As long as all devs dont go down this route then im happy for them to continue with it.

Hold on, Real Time Worlds are the ones who developed Crackdown. It seems Ruffian Games have done something on the game but it wasnt them who developed it completely. Here is their website
http://www.ruffiangames.com/

They also worked on Fable 2 and PGR it seems.

Ruffian games was formed recently by some devs who left RealTime Worlds (who made Crackdown). They're still in Dundee and it was rumoured they were working on a Crackdown 1.5

I've just found out that PES 2010 and FIFA 2010 will both be at E3 this year. That's the first time this has happened for quite a while, if ever.

Can't wait.

Damn you Hayashi, why the hell did you add the bitch Rachel in this?
The lamest thing the game has to offer, it's her.
