2011-08-28: See all things! Also, live celebrity D&D equals awesome.◄
Believe it or not, it's actually rather difficult to take flash-less photos in an environment optimized for video game viewing. Regardless, many noteworthy things have been seen (Borderlands 2? Yes! Gears of War 3? YES! ), including the unexpected (Prey 2? Hell yes!).
I'm working on adding some sort of gallery to contain the highlights of the photo's I've taken over the last few days, but since Catserver's still very much a work in progress, as it has been for like ever, I currently have no operational system I can incorporate without a great deal of work.
SO, anyways, back to PAX. As I mentioned before, one of the games that was being shown (only in a live demo, nothing playable by attendees), was Prey 2. As I'm sure none of you know, I was quite a fan of the original Prey, and the appearance of Prey 2 was somewhat of a surprise. Even more surprising, however, was the change in direction the game's taken from the first, probably due to Bethesda's influence. Instead of a gory, dark, dank, and fleshy classic style shooter, the game has morphed into a "Alien noir", pseudo RPG in which you, basically, play a bounty hunter (Boba Fett inspired, of course), equipped with all sorts of crazy awesome tech. Frankly, it looks amazing, but the departure from franchise's original aspects is a tad disappointing.
As for other major releases, I'm unfortunately going to have to hold off 'till I've had more time to wait in the multi-hour lines leading up to them. We'll see how it goes. From the little I've seen, Bethesda's other big titles, Skyrim and Rage, seem especially fantastic, and Borderlands 2, Mass Effect 3, Gears of War 3 need no introduction. Stay tuned, all.
