This is the final week of the E3 Swag Bag giveaway, which includes a The Sims 4 bag, a The Sims 4 T-shirt, The Sims 4 sunglasses, and some other goodies like a Dragon Age: Inquisition T-shirt, a Farming Simulation 2014 cow, and so on. Paul is unavailable this week but Jordan’s wife Jennifer guest hosts, with the famed Kingdom Hearts being the Gaming Flashback.
This episode also includes the following news items:
- Report: PS Vita no longer available at major retailers
- No women allowed at upcoming Hearthstone tournament
- Lindsay Lohan files suit over GTA V allegedly using her likeness
- Sources: Crytek UK’s staff no longer going to work
- Riot closing League Of Legends’ public chat
And once again, the Question of the Week: “What was your biggest takeaway from E3?”
David Braben, founder of Frontier Developments, says retail outlets that buy and sell pre-owned games are “essentially defrauding the industry.” Although multiplayer gaming might not be a huge threat, the single player experience in games may die out because gamers play the game quickly and resell it back to places like GameStop for others to buy.
I enjoyed watching the press conferences this year. I’ve been waiting to see Mirror’s Edge and Assassins Creed, but also took an interest in a few titles I didn’t know anything about. I absolutely loves that it was less talking and more videos.
I mainly play The Sims series, so what I took away from E3 was the information released about The Sims 4.
I was glad to hear that there is an autosave feature since my Sims 3 game has crashed so many times and I’ve ended up losing hours of gaming. I also enjoyed seeing the new feature: The Gallery (Similair to The Sims 3 exchange) and hearing that it would be in-game.
I am glad to hear that the lots our sims visit will actually be full with people. I am excited to see what the emotions system is going to be like. The world looks great and I am just really excited about the Sims 4. I am counting down until September 2.
