Fallout 4 was announced today.
I'm going to need a PS4.
And a new TV.

For anyone who likes free games on an iPad, I'm enjoying Defenders by Nival at the moment, kind of like Bloons but with bells on. My two all time top games though are Robbery Bob and Bus Derby, fantastic game play for nowt.

I know the feeling, tis' a sad day when next gen consoles actually start bringing out great games that you can't get on 360 or ps3. Makes you feel like your current console has been made redundant. Mad to think that next gen consoles have been out for a year and a half yet the price doesn't seem to have fallen at all. I'm pretty sure that PS3 and PS2 prices had fallen a lot in the same time scale.
Simply games have a ps4 for 249 at the mo..

Would snap one up but I'm out of work at the moment so isn't high on the priority list right now!

They'll announce a slim version later in the year, or a bigger hard drive or something. Hopefully some decent deals to be had around then. Won't even find out Fallout 4 release date for another week or so. I actually hope it's not any time soon, got enough older games to keep going with for now

Anyone watching the E3 conferences so far? Bethesda's conference was pretty ace, coming as it did with Fallout 4 and Dishonored 2 among others: didn't get to see Microsoft's, but hey, new Tomb Raider. EA's was pretty par for the course (new Mass Effect, Star Wars, FIFA) except for a) Pele, and b) the guy who presented his indie platformer game (Unravelled, or something) at the beginning: his simultaneous extreme nervousness and genuine love for his cutesy little game seems to have been a hit with the internet, and I found it more than a bit refreshing given the general dead-eyed PR crap and loud dubstep trailers that most of the other presenters generally went with. Ubisoft's conference was Tom Clancy, Tom Clancy and Tom Clancy (The Division, which seems excellent, and Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon, which both seem pretty underwhelming), with a bit of Assassin's Creed thrown in. Sony's seems, again, par for the course.

Bethesda knocked it out the park - I wish I could justify £100 for the pip boy edition of fallout but as good a gimmick it is, it's still a gimmick!Anyone watching the E3 conferences so far?

Yeah, I'd give them an A. I feel they could have done a bit better in terms of fleshing out the gameplay trailer, though: the one we did see that wasn't the intro was basically all combat, and how you interact with the world (NPCs, locations, etcetera) would have been great to see given that they must be pretty close to finishing the game up by now (if it's really going to be released in November, that is). I'm still massively pumped for it, though: my only regret is that I won't be able to play it until I save up for a decent rig, which could take a while.
Other than that, I'm also very interested in Dishonored 2: I played the first one and loved it, and I'm glad that they're willing to take risks and explore both a new location and a new player character, given that a) the previous setting was great by itself, and b) the player character is the girl you're tasked with rescuing and protecting in the first game, a novel storytelling twist in the videogame world.
They showed a load of that in the gameplay video I saw? Contextual interaction notifications depending on the item; using the dog to fetch things; carrying on conversations later (or shoot anyone), the rebuild entire settlements bit which looked like it'll either be insane or a pain in the arse...Yeah, I'd give them an A.

I watched this half hour video of it - there's a big segment about the iOS game in the middle but the rest had loads of bits
I never played dishonoured - one of those games that I totally missed and never got round to picking up. Doubt I will now as I've got dragon age and witcher 3 to get through, the new batman on pre order and a mountain of untouched games to pick up before November...

No, I know. I meant in terms of quest interactions, and storylines: I'd like to know who populates this world, who the factions are, how your actions through the quests can influence those factions, how different your interactions with various people can be, how the locations can be impacted by the decisions you make in quests, stuff like that. I've been playing Bethesda's games for about a decade now, and I've grown to implicitly trust them when it comes to them building their worlds physically and filling them with interesting stuff to do, i.e creating brilliant sandboxes. They're unbeatable at that, and the Capital Wasteland, Cyrodiil, and Skyrim are testaments to this. But I've never really been impressed by their writing or the people/factions they create: their NPCs seem flat, and their ability to write good quests and in-game lore-building have both suffered even as their world-building abilities have grown to become the industry standard.
I was hoping to see a bit more of that, impressive as the rest of the conference undoubtedly was. As for Dishonored, it's a great game, and if it ever comes up in a sale for a price you find acceptable, pick it up: it isn't too long, it isn't too demanding in terms of time or investment, and it's well worth a playthrough. And that's a very impressive backlog to have: I'm mildly jealous of you, as you've likely got a guaranteed couple of hundred hours of entertainment in just Inquisition, W3 and the new Batman game, to say nothing of that mountain of other games you possess.
It's a bit ridiculous tbh... I just keep finding 'bargains' that I can't resist! Wolfenstein the new order, both metro 2033s, Lego batman 3, thief 3, assassins creed unity/black flag, halo MCC and sunset overdrive are sitting there with less then a few hours played on each and that's not including the 360 games...No, I know.

Yet I keep putting more hours into an already worn out copy of diablo 3!
Ah right in that case I understandunderstand, they said they didn't want to give away any plot and while it would have been nice to know how deep they've gone with characters and factions that's hard to give a full impression of in an e3 event. I reckon they'll put a few teasers out in the next few months detailing all that. I know at you mean about Bethesda's NPCs though - they're not nearly as memorable as bioware - but then strangely for someone who considers planescape torment the best game ever made on the back of it's dialogue and NPCs, it's never been a deal breaker for me. The depth of the worlds they offer more than makes up for it.
Currently really impressed by DA: Inquisition's party dynamics and supporting characters story lines but given how many copies fallout 3 and skyrim sold without needing to worry about all that pesky dialogue to write/actors to hire, I can't imagine we'll get anything like that. There's a reason the dog is everyone's favorite Bethesda side kick - deadmeats barking was far more charismatic than anything Lydia/Jericho ever offered...
