@badp :(
THE VERY BEST CARS from 10 years ago
user30
zonda, nice
user30
also I now appear to be streaming 720p reliably
user30
this guy is really into cars, it appears
This guy is almost collapsing
he's probably had a couple of orgasms during the presentation
AND THE FIBER, OH THE FIBER AND HOW GOOD IT FEELS HMMMM
user30
00:02
does it have damage?
YES! JUST WHAT I WANT! INTERRUPTING MY RACE TO HANDLE TEAM INVITES! MULTIPLE TIMES!
2
user30
I imagine not.
@ThomasMcDonald They wrecked each and every car with PAINSTAKING ATTENTION and then measured the whole thing
@ThomasMcDonald But you can open the door. And oh, the felt!
Why do I get the feeling that'll be a lot of ghost racing?
FAE
FAE
00:03
wtf @ teargassed story
user30
cue the band!
@FAE ILLUMINATI IN HALF LIFE 3 ARE CONFIRMED
GUYS! THE GOVERNMENT IS BAD! BUY OUR GAMES!
4
user30
this is bizarre
Heroes: The Game
FAE
FAE
00:05
FREEDOM ISN'T FREE GUYS.
InFamous 3
To be honest if there was a game that really discussed this important theme, that would be awesome
I hope the lagging is the stream...
FAE
FAE
@Ullallulloo I admit I'm now intrigued, but that intro felt really weird.
there are all kinds of timestamps and monitors, that's how you know they're the bad guys
FAE
FAE
00:07
...huh
user30
looks interesting, but the intro was odd
@Ullallulloo close enough
@ThomasMcDonald Yeah, I don't remember the point of InFamous being that the police are evil.
I wonder if the game will be actually be snooping in people's homes to further drive the point
JUST THINK OF THE POSSIBILITIES
FAE
FAE
I still need to finish Infamous 2.
00:10
EXPLOSIONS!!!
12
BRAID 2 plz
oh well
@FAE I still need to buy inFamous 2
room topic changed to The Bridge: General Chat Room for Arqade.com. The main quarters of Arqade's SEI AskQuestion Mothership, wherein we aim our LAZERS at arqade cabinets, fancy new spaceship logos and the eyes of people who would like to deny others the joys of waffles. [arq] [buy-torgue] [exploohsions] [-fun] [jin-fanclub] [lazers]*
FAE
FAE
I'm sorry, I meant inFAMOUS 2.
> in the release window, PS4 will be the only console The Witness is on
00:13
I don't think that was supposed to happen
Damn buffering
Whatever this line connecting puzzle thing is, it seems arbitrary
You draw a line through the thing somehow and then you reach some point and then things happen
@badp Yeah, I didn't really see any explanation
This is one of the worst gaming presentations I have ever seen.
This is a photograph of the video
That... doesn't look like a solution to any puzzle
it's just an arbitrary path
is the puzzle figuring out the puzzle?
00:16
Unless you just indicate the angle you want the laser to point
user30
that killzone vid looks a lot more impressive than the stream
Is there a stream that doesn't stop to buffer every 10 seconds?
This is another bunch of those puzzles and I guess the orange and purple things aren't just for show but...
Jin
Jin
what do you guys think about PS4 so far?
i'm watching it here gizmodo.com/5985762/…
00:18
Uncanny valley
@Jin see the starred list
Jin
Jin
I think that Knack game looked like crap
Soooo creepy!
FAE
FAE
"Up until today reserved for CG films." Or y'know, PC gamers...
00:19
@Jin That's just the official stream embedded in Gizmodo
user30
little big planet?
Actually, hold up a second
x86 platform and 8 GB of ram?
what the fuck?
Jin
Jin
@YiJiang'sEvilClone oh i just clicked on the first link i googled
FAE
FAE
Like, I realize that it's sort of a big deal for consoles to have improved graphics, but I think it behooves them to be self-aware of where they sit in the market.
00:20
PS4 tag line: it'll creep you the fuck out
Ohhh hmmm there's only one way that could be possible and that would make for a rather hardened security system
Anyone else's stream down?
Jin
Jin
stay out of my dreams!
FAE
FAE
@MBraedley yes
Jin
Jin
mine is up still
00:21
I think I'll read the liveblogs instead
And Twitch dies.
user30
Yer I'm on ustream
And it's back
The penis creation factor is too high
It's because of all the people that jumped to ustream
Shitty speculation o' clock
user30
wtf is this
FAE
FAE
@ThomasMcDonald Yeah, I'm confused too
@badp or it's x86-64
user30
00:25
Look like it's using move and facial animations? I think
Ok, I'm scurred.
FAE
FAE
what the hell is going on here
user30
this is just ridiculous
@MBraedley wouldn't they have said that
Jin
Jin
THEY ARE BORN MOBILE
00:26
We're liveblogging the liveblogs of the PS4 announcement press conference
@badp you'd think so, but they also haven't mentioned physical game media
@MBraedley because they wouldn't mention the fact it's internet only as a feature
that would make negative press
6 mins ago, by MBraedley
PS4 tag line: it'll creep you the fuck out
user30
00:27
but... 99% says it's internet only, no disk drives
@ThomasMcDonald Valve isn't there
also lol:
God of War music for the guy from... Capcom?
user30
@badp yer.
Jin
Jin
that guy sets my peeps back 300 years
FAE
FAE
@Jin haha what
00:29

A: What is a server address?

irelandwhat is the address for simply horses?

SIMPLY HORSES
FAE
FAE
Onimushaaaaa <3
Jin
Jin
I bet he'll Gangnam Style off the stage when he's done
user30
@badp two separate studios
@ThomasMcDonald yes but jeez I'm so happy Sony is supporting the PS4
I'm happy they pointed it out explicitly!
user30
nor is Crytek, I think, and they're developing a title
00:31
@Jin wadda wadda wa, Playsation Foh inamade takke thingishti onamachi ta.
(no seriously, what's the deal with those "wadda wadda wa"s?)
user30
What would they have done internally if the hardware team showed the dev stuff to the Sony studios and they responded with a nope?
CAPCOM PRESENTS. A GUY. WITH A SWORD. AND POST-EXPLOSIONS FLAMES. AND VERY THICK ACCENTS.
user30
oh.. I guess we'll try again then.
@ThomasMcDonald explosions
FAE
FAE
Apparently next gen == everything on fire.
00:33
@FAE yes
also bullet time
MORE BULLET TIME
user30
I thought he said they weren't doing game announcements any more
MORE EXPLOSIONS!!!
to showcase the EXPLOSIONS
FAE
FAE
.................."From Blanka"
What
@FAE wait what that was the same game?
00:34
@badp Was it a new Street Fighter character? Resident Evil character?
@Powerlord WADDA WADDA WA PLAYSTATIONU FOH.
@Fluttershy Capcom published it in japan
(I'm so sorry Jin)
in-nova-tive
FAE
FAE
Squeenix time
00:35
with more translation?
hope not
Oh yay, just looked at the image posted earlier... Falcom is there, so apparently Ys is going to continue on the PS4.
Don't fuck it up Squeenix
Jin
Jin
FF8-2!
FAE
FAE
...yeeha tech demo...
@FAE we're simply going to be amazed by the 240p possibilities
FAE
FAE
00:37
@badp And this was shown at E3 apparently
Hey, my stream is 360p
The music reach a climax, something amazing is about to happen... then a giant fucking buffering icon pops up on screen. Yeah.
EVEN MORE EXPLOSIONS!!!
SQUARE ENIX: GUNS. IN EGYPT
Guns and magic! MAGIC GUNS
Call of Duty Black Magic
4
Jin
Jin
00:38
Dante's Creed Absolution
trance mode go
@BenBrocka Could be worse, it could be a hilariously inappropriate title like Call of Duty: Black Warfare.
Call of Magic: Friendship is Modern Warfare
why you no gameplay footage
At least the dragon thing had gameplay footage
@BenBrocka because they don't have gameplay footage
FAE
FAE
00:40
@BenBrocka friend of mine said it's a repeat of what they showed at E3, Agni's Philosophy
@FAE Didn't see it. It's Squeenix so I'm extremely skeptical
Though it's relatively unlikely that it's as bad as All The Bravest
FAE
FAE
Piece of info, eh?
drumroll
Brand Director? This isn't going to be good.
Wee! In a couple weeks, the Prenda fiasco is going to reach new heights.
FAE
FAE
So... that was... uninformative.
00:42
PLEASE, PLEASE BE EXCITED
user30
trot out more ac?
OMFG IS THERE A WAY TO DISABLE THIS CHAT
FAE
FAE
@OrigamiRobot I popped it out of the base site so I could just fullscreen it
Watch Dogs time.
@OrigamiRobot Bottom right corner, hover over the fullscreen button
You're both wrong
00:43
Not creepy at all
Hide Chat
Fullscreen looks awful.
54 secs ago, by OrigamiRobot
Hide Chat
How many accents can they present before the event is over?
@OrigamiRobot That's the show/hide chat button, yes
00:45
I'm watchung it on the front page, no chat
mo-bile, mo problems
@BenBrocka I'll be highly disappointed if there's no Scottish or Irish.
Needs some lower class brit
Oi! Got some games then innit! Bloody thing
00:46
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I suppose the real failure is @OrigamiRobot's in not telling us what streaming service he's using
FAE
FAE
Hm, live demo
@BenBrocka Like... Cockney accent?
@OrigamiRobot boo, you old channel page user
@badp This is like the 3rd time I've ever been on twitch
"BANK ACCOUNT HACKED" ...hells yes?
00:48
this 720p+...isn't
I'm so happy about the future now
Follow girl until progress bar fills
//SUGGESTED ACTION: CATCH THE CRIMINAL
Boo s oyou can't just kill him? orr....maybe you can
FAE
FAE
Wow. That looked painful.
00:50
FAST! GET AWAY FROM THE REVOLVING TWITCH ICON
stop criminal > take out cops > uhhh what did I miss here?

user30
it looks like GTA and Mirrors Edge just collided
FAE
FAE
@ThomasMcDonald I've seen some stuff about this game before, it looks pretty neat.
I don't really buy that this is live gameplay though.
That looked like the initial section of Half Life 2 where people shoot at you, miracolously hitting all the bullets everywhere but in your face
It does look pretty cool
00:51
@BenBrocka Looks like vigilantism.
user30
not Valve :(

Q: Kirby cystal shards

ScottttieI am emulating kirby using project 64, but every rom that I have found says, Issues (plugin) under the status column. And when starting the game, the controls work up until the point that I hit start new game, then start works, but everything else just stops working. Any thoughts on this issue or...

FAE
FAE
@BenBrocka Yeah, I agree.
T+1h52'
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Yeah, I guess. I just assumed he was a cop or something when he started doing that
00:52
@ThomasMcDonald We already know Valve isn't here
Although the "contract" at the end suggests more conspiracy
user30
@badp do we?
FAE
FAE
Titan coming to PS4 maybe?
Valve wouldn't be doing console-exclusive anything
Lost Vikings 3
00:52
25 mins ago, by Thomas McDonald
user image
...although Blizzard isn't there either
user30
@badp exactly
At any rate, Diablo 3 for PS* was a known possibility?
You seem to be ahead of me, I'll try reloading the page
why is the twitch logo animated
who would do this
@BenBrocka It's been like this for two hours now
Why'd you only notice now?
I just switched to fullscreen
and started watching 40 minutes ago
Jin
Jin
00:54
diablo lol
@Jin yeah, it was already in the air
I wonder how it'll control though
FAE
FAE
So this means always online connectivity for the console version too I assume
Jin
Jin
i'm sure their inventory UI will be better than Borderlands2's
@FAE You're assuming the whole PS4 isn't online only anyway
inb4 battle.net rage
FAE
FAE
00:55
@badp I'm trying to assume not :(
Jin
Jin
but i don't have 3 BFFS... or 3 friends...
@badp they've already said there would be disc games since not everyone has good internet connections
@Jin what? PS4 is all about real life friends! Did you miss the part about real names?
@Jin You have bacon, which means you always have friends.
That's... it?
00:56
@BenBrocka aw, okay.
He presented a logo.
@TimStone I like Bacon and all, but not that way
Jin
Jin
@TimStone friends whom I can devour.
Then he spent 5 minutes petting himself on the back
@YiJiang'sEvilClone An animated logo
@Jin eating with friends
00:57
@BenBrocka Lies, everyone has perfect internet all the time and we should always be connected for a richer home entertainment experience.
@BenBrocka FUCK YOU. I was drinking
Can we assume good faith on this?
@fbueckert Possibly
but we can't really link to ROMs I suppose
Activision is excited about PS4. Abandon ship
00:58
wait so are activision and blizzard different things or not?
@BenBrocka They're part of the same company
@badp The part about finding a working ROM's been edited out.
FAE
FAE
Hm, Destiny stuff.
user30
that's a lotta monitors
Jin
Jin
"instead of building a giant orbital ring made by aliens, we decided to make a giant sphere made by aliens instead"
01:00
We just sorta handwave away that people are downloading ROMs, assuming they have the right to do so, so long as they're not too blatant about pointing it out.
Don't we already know this? There's no actual in-game footage here, right?
Jin
Jin
are they gonna announce the pricing today?
Destiny: it's like Firefall or Planetside 2, but for actual money! It's the future!
@Jin not this far out, I doubt
Every time the buffering icon pops up I can see the number of live viewer drop
01:01
@YiJiang'sEvilClone The thing is... the BUFFERING ICON SEEMS PART OF THE STREAM
@badp That would explain a lot
the bottom right icon isn't the buffering thing, I think
if you drop down to 240p it is just as blurry as the rest
Jin
Jin
are the walls screens?
@badp They're... streaming another stream?
01:02
your walls aren't?
Jin
Jin
or projected onto..
@Powerlord apparently
user30
eh
did you miss the part where GMail beeped five times during the stream?
user30
why did they all come out?
01:02
Oh yeah, that's going to please the fans. Platform exclusive content.
On a MMO
must not put hands on pockets must not put hands on pockets must not put hands on pockets must not put hands on pockets must not put hands on pockets must not put hands on pockets must not put hands on pockets must not put hands on pockets must not put hands on pockets must not put hands on pockets must not put hands on pockets must not put hands on pockets
@OrigamiRobot I don't think you can preorder already
user30
what does it look like
"Needless to say. We are. *buffering* Dramatically evolve. From intensified."
@badp No, I was making fun of the awkward Bungie team.
01:03
@OrigamiRobot oh.
so they are using the weird controller
So... December 2013 if all goes well
FAE
FAE
@BenBrocka Yeeeep
that much isn't surprising
closes stream
how did the thing from Sucker Punch look/
01:04
forgettable
I mean, I forgot about it
FAE
FAE
@BenBrocka The opening for that was totally wtf, but the game looked neat, as someone who enjoyed the first inFamous.
Also
This is really soon considering they didn't show the actual console at all
Just a controller
WTB Legend of Dragoon 2
user30
> coming holiday 2013
what was the cartoony thing with the carboard? robot guy?
@BenBrocka from your description sounds like Knack.
01:05
@FAE I enjoyed both infamous..es
The very first game they announced
FAE
FAE
@BenBrocka I didn't not enjoy the 2nd, I just haven't played it yet. Everything I hear tells me I will like it.
@OrigamiRobot ...If they make that for PS4, I might have to buy it just for that.
user30
Knack looked more interesting when they actually played it as opposed to the video
Jin
Jin
hmm I wonder what CCP's doing with Dust 514
01:06
@FAE It's pretty awesome
@FAE Perhaps they are still working on the case.
Ladies and gentlemen, place your bets on the when the first question will appear on this site
FAE
FAE
That video was cut together pretty quick considering that footage was "played" live. <_<
@FAE I bet they'll have one up for display at E3 though
FAE
FAE
And yeah, nothing on physical media...
01:07
@FAE they don't need a showy case to run devkit games
user30
they can't move to internet only
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I'm gonna get so many close votes in!
Jin
Jin
I hope I'll be able to turn off all of these social features on the #PS4. If I wanted to be social I wouldn't be playing videogames.

Might even get my gold reviewer badge!
user30
takes a massive chunk out of their potential market
01:08
@FAE there's no way it's online only
@ThomasMcDonald I think they are, otherwise, how do they get "every game, everywhere"?
FAE
FAE
@Jin hahaha
@BenBrocka I will cry.
user30
@Coronus Well, moving to internet only will remove the 'everywhere' part from that
OMG The stream is so fast now!
@Coronus there have been rumors about streaming games. But just because you can get internet things does not mean you can't get physical things
user30
01:09
right, I'm gonna head off to sleep and blast through this work in the morning
Alright BL2 time. @BenBrocka?
Wouldn't they have announced some bullshit "UMD" sort of stuff if it wasn't online only?
It's going to be blu ray of course
I wouldn't be so sure
Think of it - the PS3 was released in... load faster wikipedia... 2006.
Its lifespan is Nov 2006 - Dec 2013
PS4's lifespan is thus in the whereabouts of 2014-2020
FAE
FAE
01:16
@badp Man, I didn't even get one of those til 2010.
At some point in those six years, "online only" is probably going to stop sounding so ridicolous
besides, without an always-on unlimited online connection, most of what sets the PS4 apart from the PS3 in terms of features is unavailable
You don't get updates, you don't get cloud, you don't get videos, you don't get streaming, you don't get social, you don't get this, you don't get that.
In a way, even if the PS4 won't be online only, it's certainly designed to be always online
I know it's speculation, but it's speculation that's consistent with everything we've seen today
after all what are the PS4 titles we already knew about before today's presentation?
Diablo 3 and Destiny, both online-only.
Jin
Jin
wait.. they never even showed the console?
Just imagine the irony

4 player couch co-op... online only
this is something that was announced today and nobody here connected the dots apparently

@Jin No, just the controller.
As predicated, using SwiftKey Flow on a tablet is incredibly awkward

Q: How do i test an xbox 360 slim power brick

Anomaly93I've looked everywhere and I just want an answer to a simple question. I have an xbox 360 slim and 2 power bricks i am trying to fix. i also have a multimeter. i know the power supply is meant to output 5volts and 12volts but with both of the power bricks i only get a 5 volt readying, the 12volt ...

FAE
FAE
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Yes 'tis.
user43095
user43095
@Fluttershy It seems a bit odd, even though I never used a PlayStation before.
The screen in the middle appears to be copy and pasted onto the image
Unless Sony suddenly invents the holographic display
There are clearly wedges cut out of the joysticks so you can fully enjoy the screen.
FAE
FAE
01:45
@YiJiang'sEvilClone If there were present day functioning holographic haptic displays, I'd totally have a techgasm.
*sighs at Fringe S5*
Why oh why oh why
@YiJiang'sEvilClone So you haven't finished watching it yet then?
I gave up half way through S5.
@Wipqozn Someone's messing with strings.xml again?
