Q: On which platform was "Angry Sea" gameplay video made?

EA/DICE has just released next BF4 gameplay video. It's clearly made on some console, but is it known which one is it?

@BenBrocka Good, that's the realism gamers deserve.

Hmm, Ubisoft is up next. Now to decide if I care.

Shotgun Ninja

@BenBrocka They won't care about you so much, not even the collision detection will work between you and them.

FAE

@TimStone Yeah, I think I'll just read the recap for that one, I dunno. I mostly just watched this one for DA.

Ben Brocka

@TimStone UPlay, now with more DRM

I don't even know what Ubisoft makes that I should care about

Tim Stone

@FAE Admittedly I was surprised by the whole PvZ thing (just because it's terribly random), and Mirror's Edge is icing on the cake.

@BenBrocka I can only assume that they've invented a finger print scanner that interfaces with the controllers to make sure you're definitely the owner of the game.

FAE

21:05

@TimStone Yeah, pretty much. I guess Ubi would have Assassin's Creed stuff but I don't play that series.

I play the Anno games, which they publish, but that's PC.

Tim Stone

I don't feel much like working anyway and traffic is too bad for me to go home just yet, so I suppose I'll tune in to mention if anything interesting shows up.

Q: Should we allow or disallow tags for future releases?

I saw some tag wiki suggestions for battlefield-4 in the review queue today. The game doesn't come out for several months and so has no valid questions until that time, so why do we need such a tag right now? Should tag wikis for upcoming games be rejected (if they're not coming out in a few days)?

@Wipqozn I turned off Xbox Live auto renewal by canceling the credit card they knew about.

@FAE that is wonderful. Too often games skimp on basic efficiency in design like that because it seems fine when you do it once (but it's eternal hell if you do it 1000 times)

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria I never used auto renewal. Is it as hard to turn off as the comic makes it sound?

@FAE Oh right, there will likely be Watch Dogs, I forgot about that.

@BenBrocka Yeah, it's really really nice.

@Wipqozn I never tried other than using the aforementioned method, which was very easy.

Ben Brocka

@TimStone Oh, that's Ubi? Well I guess I DO want one of their games then

StrixVaria

21:36

Essentially I forgot I had it and then they said, "Hey, we can't charge you. Tell us your new info so you can keep Xbox Live!" and I thought, "I haven't touched my Xbox in 6 months. Let's not do that."

And the hail redoubled. They're getting bigger.

Ben Brocka

I just hope I don't have to sign up for UPlay and submit a urine sample to play it

Tim Stone

@BenBrocka Yeah, I forgot they were responsible. The Gamespot preconference show reminded me.

StrixVaria

@BenBrocka UPlay is not a thing that should exist.

It is especially stupid when Steam has to launch UPlay so that UPlay can then launch your game.

Ben Brocka

I suppose draconian DRM kinda fits with the game though

I can't decide if that's better than their non-internet or not.

FAE

@TimStone Dial-up. It's still slow, just in a different way.

I'm trying to talk her out of it. The problem is DSL is like $20 more per month.

Ullallulloo

@TimStone If you don't download really large files or try to play FPSs it's definitely better than dial-up.

FAE

Apparently if they go through DirecTV, it's a 2 year contract though, $60/month and I don't even know what speed it is...

Just that it's a 10 gig per month cap.

(for DSL)

Tim Stone

Hmm

FAE

@Ullallulloo I still wouldn't really be able to skype with them though I don't think.

Also my character is invisible.
