I think features like this would be great for PC and console communities. Some people can't afford/don't know how to/don't want to play on PC but their friends are on consoles: this would be a great way to bring gamers together as gamers rather than separate them because of their console/pc choice.

This would be OK for CO-OP but probably terrible for competitive gaming.
Massive inbalance and PS3 users would probably use mic, pc users tend to type, many turn mic off altogether due to anoyingness.

Terrible for the PS3 users as those of us on the PC will prove just how superior mouse aim is to joystick.  I don't understand your comment about PC users tend to type and not use a mic.  Pretty much everyone I know that plays on PC uses a mic.

Am I the only one excited for Witcher 2? It looks pretty impressive in the new footage they showed.



I have a strong feeling that Deus Ex will be just pretty graphics... (what do you expect when the publisher's SE)

Likewise. The vast majority of online gamers I've met have microphones. And most of them have ventrilo even if they don't have a microphone.

Probably because it's un-immersing (like achievements popping up)  and most of us are anti-social. I recall reading Turbine claiming MMO's  would be superior on consoles because it's more accessible and more socaible. Claiming it was a surprise MMO's became so popular on the pc  as it was "the least social platform". That's sort of the point, many pc gamers feel more at ease socializing via typing than sitting in a room  with a buddy or chatting with voice. It's especially annoying in raids when some fellow thinks he's general Patton barking orders.

Yea, but we are talking about Valve games.  As someone who has poured hundreds of
hours into there games, the only actual game with users actively using mics near match per match is Counterstrike, other than that it's generally  the norm to type.

I play L4D/L4D2 quite regularly and the majority have microphones. TF2 also has a great abundance of people with mics. Statistics seem to agree.

3/4 people on Steam have a microphone.

"Have" doesn't mean "Use", I have a mic, never use it. 
According to my stats I have put about 20-50 hours into each Valve multiplayer game. On each server, you are lucky if "1" person from a match of 32  players is using a mic.  Counterstrike is far more vocal, and by vocal Imean racist, rude, obnoxious, playing music through there mic for attention e.t.c.... Thank christ this isn't Xbox360 users.

aannnd Ninty "wins" this E3.


I haven't owned a Nintendo system or played a Nintendo game since a couple years now but +1 Respect for Keeping Innovation Alive (yeah yeah, I mean on the hardware front) The gaming world would be a dreary gray place if not for these crazy island people.

E3 thoughts - What a load of obllocks (cookie if you get the reference). As a PC-only gamer, I wasn't really that impressed.

Fable 3, Wiedzmin 2, one Dragon Age DLC, FO: NV, Hunted... Wow. 4 games and some content I won't buy.

[Noir201]

I have a pc and a 360, but Devil Third looks intresting, enjoyed Itagaki Dead or Alive fighting games, and Ninja Gaidan.

More and more intrested in SWTOR, and i'm intrested in Hunted : Demon Forge.

lol yeah, a shame.

At least they made up for not giving us Fable 2. anndd... the best for the PC this year doesn't even get shown on E3s.. it was at BlizzCon  

SERVE THE HIVE BABY!!  (yes, SC2 FTW)

[Loerwyn]

They made up for not giving us Fable 2? I missed that bit - or do you mean just the fact we're getting F3? Seen a few screenies and it looks very good to say the least. Can't wait to have a corset-wearing rifle-shootin' smexy princess... Well, I think she'd be a princess.

[HoonDing]

I don't understand why Fable II won't be on PC... isn't Fable III the continuation of Fable II? IIRC Fable III's hero is the descendant of Fable II's... just as Fable II's was the descendant of the Hero of Oakvale.



There's even a very important character from Fable I appearing in Fable II.

[Loerwyn]

I've not heard anything about it coming to PC or the absence either. From what I've read, even Lionhead weren't huge fans of Fable 2 in retrospect, but Fable 3 is out... is it this year? Yeah, "Holiday Season for Windows". I'd have thought we'd have it by now, 'cos the Fable 3 decision must have been made a while ago.

[Onyx Jaguar]

Yeah, don't worry about Fable 2. I like the game (but I've played hundreds better) but continuity? Not an issue.

I just hope they improve the death system in Fable III. I liked Fable II but not being able to die was the game's real kick in the nuts. The game had no challenge at all and getting a scar as a penalty for dying was incredibly lame, especially since getting scars is even desirable if you want to play an evil or battle hardened looking character.

You PC gamers are forgetting the most important PC game at the show Civiilization V!!!! THis game may cause me to fail a grad class or two when it comes out in the fall.

Good trailer, seems very honest and to the point with out all the pretentious non-sense in all the others.
Also, Sid Meiers awsome, like the nice uncle you never had.

Actually, that might be the one area where the Xbox (and presumably PS3) have a slight positive over a PC. Though I would definitely imagine it depends on the game.

I have my settings changed so only friends can hear me and I can only hear my friends. Also, we usually do party chat when playing games together so... I don't ever have the problem of talking to jerks I don't wanna.
