Gaming Thread 12/9/2013

Another week, another gaming thread. Bunch of videos from last night's VGX thing. From the small bits I looked at during commercials during the football game, it was painful.

More below the fold.


Sorry for the late post but I was waiting for something to happen in a game and it didn't come to fruition


News

VGX wrap up:

New Witcher 3 trailer

The Division tech demo

Also get a story trailer for the upcoming Thief game

Nintendo showed off Cranky Kong in Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze. Wish Retro was making another Metroid

Telltale finally admitted that yes, they are working on a Game of Thrones game

Telltale also announced that they're trying to make Borderlands not have a crappy story

Respawn also showed off two new mechs for the upcoming TitanFall
Stryder


Ogre

Remedy made a new trailer for the upcoming Quantum Break

Double Fine also showed off their Broken Age game

HelloGames (Joe Danger series) also announcing an upcoming game called No Man's Sky

New Destiny trailer


Of course Bungie also announced that the game isn't going to make it's spring release as they pushed it back to September 9th. That's a gamble and a half and hopefully doesn't make it be lost in the Fall avalanche of games.

Capy announced why their Super Time Force was delayed, it's getting a simultaneous release on the 360 and the Xbox One. Kinda curious if this will end up coming out after their Xbox One launch exclusive, Below hits.

DICE is apparently stopping everything till Battlefield 4 isn't a big steaming pile of bugs. Yeah.....

Valve buying into the Linux Foundation. Yeah....

Come on now, Nintendo people searching for Hentai on Pornhub shouldn't surprise anyone. The other stats are a bit more interesting

New Releases

Not much new out this week.

Peggle 2 (Xbox One) - It's going to be out for everything under the sun next year but it's coming to the XBox One on Monday for $11.99.


Wii U Fit (Wii U) - Well, it's been digital for awhile now but the standard retail package comes with a meter for $50 or if you don't have a balance board lurking in your closet, you can spend $90 on Friday to get everything you need for it.

PC Peripherals

Was asked to talk about PC peripherals and you know, I am curious in what you guys are using. Personally, my setup at the moment is:

SteelSeries Sensei mouse (HATE the mousewheel and wish I bought another G9X which I think is the finest mouse ever made)

For mousepad, I'm using a large Razer Goliathus Alpha Speed mousepad. I got it as a gift a few years ago and though it's seen better days, I dig it and it's a perfect size for my desk.

I fried my G19 with beer so I'm currently using a cheap ass Logitech K120 $15 special which is okay but you get what you pay for and I really miss the damn backlighted keys. I've got a SteelSeries Apex board coming for Christmas and I really can't want to toss this thing back into my closet.

As for a controller, I'm using a 360 one like everyone else till I get around to picking up a DS4 or till Microsoft releases some PC drivers for the One controller next year.

I play a lot of racing games aka I play a lot of iRacing and my wheel is a G27 (wait for a sale) which with the NIXIM spring mod and chillicoke's paddles is a really damn good wheel. One of these days I'll finally upgrade to a Fanatec's Clubsport wheel and pedals

And for flightsims, I'm stuck with my beat up Extreme 3D Pro. It's gotten me through quite a few years and it's still ticking. I would get something better but outside of DCS, I really don't play many flightsims as much as I used to.

As someone who kinda despises the concept of a gaming headset (they cost too much for a crappy product), I just rock my Grado SR 60i and a cheap but great Zalman mic. That being said, if I didn't already have those Grados, I would buy honestly buy another pair of Superlux's HD681 which are arguably the best headphones for under $100 (non sale price) which happen to cost under $35.

So toss your setup into the ring


Also want to give a big thanks to ConservativeMonster for the recommendation of King of Tokyo. Only got to play a few games with my nephews and cousins but this game warmed my jaded boardgaming heart. Of course now, I need to buy the expansions to the game and my nephews really seemed to want their own copy.

That's it, I'm out, Catch me on Twitter

The Dude
