The Daily Grind - Day Ten

Morning one and all,
Well it's been a busy night again from the looks, starting with the Konami Pre-E3 conference! so I will be shortly back once I've watched it. Actually that's a lie no doubt I be back in a few minutes going "OMG I WANT", so see you in a minute.

-----------------------------------------

Konami Pre-E3 2011
Heads up below is the conference trailer and my thoughts on it




Not a big fan of the Metal Gear series, then again I've not really played them to be fair. I do own Metal Gear Solid 4 on the PS3 but again it sits there unplayed, one day I will sit down and give it a good shot. Anyway Snake Eater for the 3DS sounds pretty cool, like the idea of being able to use the camera to take pictures that can then be used to make camo for snake. Also the gyroscope for balancing snake when crossing narrow edges and climbing trees. Anyway not a bad trailer for it either, love the yoshi at the end lol. Nice to see the 3DS getting some love.

PES...hmm nope not a fan, wheres the skip button

Ok I'm interested now, Neverdead with the main character being immortal and cannot die. Third person shooter as well, could be good but one of the scenes they showed did look well terrible, scene where hes thrown into the wall and his falls off...why? if anything it should had just crushed his bones. His head just pops off like it was only attached with a piece of string, but every other scene they showed after that looked cool. WOW that fight scene in the street with the sun setting in the background looks amazing!

Watching the E3 trailer and I got to say I'm sold, this looks amazing and got to laugh at that demon at the start. I'm assuming its the demons king minor form or something? anyway the entire thing looks outstanding and the boss fights are just...wow. Ohhh coming this winter? sweet, wait no! too much is coming out this Christmas, feck! Guess one more to the list

hmm silent hill next, sorry not a fan of this either so might just skip this part as well.

Ok not getting this interview, guessing it's link to what they going to announce. Ok this weird trailer of konami being broken into isn't funny, sorry but if you want to make weird videos like this go to youtube. Ok finally gaming stuff, transferring save films from PS3 to PSP very cool. Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker PS3, ok cool guess it would be popular and I like the idea being able to continue to play on my handheld. Oh nice finally announced Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, 2, 3 and peace walker. If I decide to give Metal Gear a try that would be cool to have to play the past ones.

YEESSSS!!!!!!!!! Zone of the Enders HD Collection, omg yes!!!! I loved these games on the PS2 just a shame the second one would never save for me. Ok I will gladly get that on day of the release!

Metal Gear HD Collection for the xbox as well, now that is tempting for achievements. YESSS Zone of the Enders on Xbox too!!! Cannot wait for 2012 now

Well that's the conference over and got to say I was not expecting to see a Zone of the Enders collection, that is awesome news and I'm up for getting NeverDead. So was there anything you guys liked?

Right I'm going to go take a break and browse the net shortly after to see what else was announced yesterday that I missed or this morning.


-----------------------------------------

Well I'm back again, just had a nice lunch and come to find tons of new information, trailers and links. Dang I forgot how crazy the weeks get around E3, the way its going I'm not going to have any time to actually game. Think I will post up what's just appeared then hopefully got some time for Resistance 2 before shooting off to work.

Ohhh Team Ico Collection information, seems they going to release them separately instead on one and disk. Collector editions as well!! but no information yet :( so hope they come to Europe and not just the standard editions, hope they awesome collectors edition as well. The trailer brings back a ton of memories, Shadow of the Colossus was one amazing game and the weeks it came out all the staff could not put it down, really looking forward to playing it again in HD. Never really played ICO, think I've got it somewhere since I picked it up after Shadow but never got around to playing it. Will make sure to give it time this time around


E3 Tomb Raider Trailer as been posted up and the cut scene quality is break taking, I never been a huge fan of the Tomb Raider games until the recent ones. Really enjoyed Legends and Underworld (underworld sea scenes where amazing), so not sure what to think about this one since it's redoing the series.



But I do like the survivor stile of the game and look forward to seeing more of the game, hopefully next week will see some big announcements for it.

Think I need to start creating my upcoming games list again, last year I did an excel sheet listing all the games I want with dates and prices to give me an idea. Think this time I need to download the trailers since there was a few games on my list that I could not remember and could never find the trailers for them again. Going to be a big year from the way things look for new releases. Anyway two seconds while I go through all the pages I've got opened, theres way too much information.

-----------------------------------------

Hmm ign.com are confirming that the Witcher 2 is coming to the Xbox 360? thought it was confirmed ages ago, just be a delay after the PC version releasing. Strange, anyway let's see what else....ohhh cool another update on the PlayStation Store and an update for Playstation Home, White Knight Chronicles area? that looks awesome and you can answer a quiz to get a suit for your avatar character. Ok so I might have to jump on Home sooner then I thought, check out this link to the PlayStation EU Blog page for the full details of everything new.

Really is a big news day today, Dark Souls is coming out on the 7th October. Would love to pick up Demons Souls and finish it before this so called sequel is out but I hear the game does not like being played lol. Still need to pick it up though and give it a try and mostly likely will pick up Dark Souls eventually too.

-----------------------------------------

Just checked my e-mails and found my First Acess code so I can try out the Duke Nukem Forever demo, seriously need more time! I'm back tomorrow afternoon from work so I might makesure to keep some time spare to play the demo and to jump on Home for the white knight stuff. Also got sunday so hopefully get a ton of gaming in since next week I will be glued to the screen watching all the E3 trailers!

Post just arrived and with it my new Lovefilm game disc, let's see what they sent me this time. And the winner is....ohh Batman Arkham Asylum for the PlayStation 3, this will be my fifth play through. Got to be one of my favourite all time games since every time I play it I enjoy it even more, cannot wait for Arkham City. Right before I do any more writing I really need to go and pack my bag ready for work and sort myself out, then won't have to rush later. So see you in a while

-----------------------------------------

And I'm back again, still got a few more things to talk about but hopefully wont take too long and leave me with at least an hour of gaming.

Yesterday it seems had Uncharted Golden Abyss announced which is coming on the PSVita (prefer NGP to be honest), it's going to be a prequel that sets you on an adventure looking for a missing expedition from 400 years ago. This handheld looks outstanding and the 3DS as got some serious competition, just watch the video below to see Uncharted in action on it. No doubt I will be buying this game, also check out pushsquare.com for the full article on this Uncharted game.

Damn I am a sucker, MMO-Champion posted up some more details of firelands and showing off a new murloc pet that as appeared, got love the pets and this one is based on Diablo 3 so got to agree with MMO that it could be the blizzcon pet or the collectors edition for Diablo 3. Although I would guess more blizzcon since the game is not coming out for a while, then again they could announce the collectors edition details at blizzcon this year hmmmm we will see.

Bad news in that post though, Ragnaros was put on the test realm and has now been killed already... seriously? already ?. I'm sorry but the other week I was at work with some of the staff who play/use to play WOW and had to agree with them that it's getting way too easy and the challenge seems to be going. I was lucky enough to do the vanilla WOW 40 man raids and man that was hard, when someone did complete one it was a miracle and amazing. Now its just a joke and can be done on the test realm, its a shame they giving into the whiners. It's meant to be a challenge, these bosses are meant to be the most powerful beings in the WOW universe so to take one down you got to expect to fail a lot. Anyway take a look below at the mmo-champion video of the new murloc pet



Enough ranting for now and get back to the announcements, Playstation EU Blog posted up details for the Uncharted 3 Special editions yesterday and confirmed we are getting them. Seems there will be two now and the Explore Edition (that big edition I talked about in Day Nine of the Grind) will have more stuff in then previously announced.

Special edition will look Drakes Diary and contain several dlc for multi player, the figurine Explore Edition will have all that and what was announced yesterday plus all the pre-order bonus dlc that was mention with "more to come" according to the article. Glad to see they are adding more and does look much better now with some in game content added. Check out the Playstation EU blog post for all the lovely details. If I enjoy the first Uncharted then no doubt I will be forking out the money for the Explorer edition.

Well that's it finally! all the announcements so far that I've seen, so to celebrate going to do a bit of gaming but will be short since need to leave for work in 40 minutes. *Sigh* I need more time off

-----------------------------------------

Just finished the first part of Resistance 2, the boss fight with the Kraken was awesome. Would like to go into detail but got ten minutes to get dressed then leave for work. Going to cut this post short since when I finish work will be late and got an early shift tomorrow. So thanks for reading and catch you all tomorrow with Day Eleven

Have a good one
