I knew something was off in Splinter Cell: Blacklist, the main VO (Michael Ironside) is being replaced by someone way younger. Should've just put Sam Fisher as the CO and introduce a fresh new agent (especially when returning to government covert-ops).

Quote from slickdeals

Using quotes enables phrase search and it makes the order of the terms important. Thus "rotten apple" would return posts with "rotten peach & apple" but will not return "the apple is rotten."

I need a lot of convincing, I didn't see anything scary in the debut demo (walking legs, really?) nor did I see high-tier action.

I was wondering why this was in the HL3 thread. Makes sense now.

The Last of Us swept the E3 2012 GCA with 4 wins (and 1 commendation).
http://www.gamecriticsawards.com/winners.html

They also added a special commendations this year for graphics and innovation (to highlight Star Wars 1313 and Watch Dogs respectively since they weren't playable and thus ineligible).

Also, did you guys know that the main character you see in SW1313 is just a placeholder? Weird, guess there's a chance it's a Fett afterall.

E3 could be changing locations next year. Big announcement on Monday.

Hey guys. On Monday I’ll be making a big announcement regarding E3 2013, so be sure to follow me for updates and spread the word! #E32013

Rich Taylor via Twitter, 7/27/2012 [twitter.com]

The ESA is very worried about construction (Farmer's Field expansion) in the LA Convention Center restricting the show floor.

Quote :

He did not identify which cities his group has been negotiating with, though executives close to the association who requested anonymity because negotiations are confidential said San Francisco, New York, Chicago and New Orleans have been among the candidates. E3 has taken place in Los Angeles for 16 of its 18 years in existence.

Wonder why not Houston or was it Austin? I've heard that (Texas) is the new hotbed for developers, read that in an article when Twisted Pixel was bought. I've never heard a thing about Chicago... Dontknow

It would only end up in NO if the city throws money at them...but that would suck for the actual people having to travel there, it isn't close to anything.

Recap: E3 2012

● [Game Critics Awards] Winners List [gamecriticsawards.com]
● [Wikipedia] Wiki [wikipedia.org]
● [IGN] Daily Fix: Day 1 [youtube.com] (5min, 18sec) <> Daily Fix: Day 2 [youtube.com] (3min, 58sec) <> Daily Fix: Day 3 [youtube.com] (3min, 45sec)

So next-gen blowouts at E3 2013 and then console launches in Fall 2013 from Microsoft and Sony is pretty concrete at this point. "It's On" E3 2013 countdown by Microsoft. [majornelson.com]

Note: I probably won't make and maintain the inevitable E3 2013 thread since I'm just using my smartphone for the Internet so don't wait for me to make one. Feel free to copy my layout or keep it casual to whomever picks it up.
