    Funnily enough, in MGS4 Snake WILL stop to punch his back or wait out pain. In that game he isn't old at all, but his aging has sped up. Stuff like that shows his fight through all the obstacles, and Snake really gives it his all to finish his mission. One of the most honorable characters ever created.

    As for Sam's voice, I think Ironside gives perfect commentary on the sordid part of his job and the degradation of the world Fisher fights in. He really sounds like a true cynic who doesn't hide his honest opinions of his work behind patriotism. The voice is an instant trademark and so recognizable.

    As for James McCaffrey (voice of Max Payne), I recently heard him in a steak commercial! When I heard it I was thinking "Is Max trying to persuade me to get to a steakhouse? AWESOME!" :))

    What steakhouse? I need to go there, right now. I don't know about angels, but it's fear - and a damn fine steak - that gives men wings.

    I don't know. I will have to pay more attention when I spot it next.

    From what I've seen of it so I'm not surprised. Ezio and Fisher might be going grey but Snake looked about a hundred in that game.

    Most of that is to do with the lines he's given. It's typical Clancy alot of it (surprising since he doesn't actually have anything to do with the games). I don't think his voice is that great at all. Lots of the time I think it sounds gruff, generic and monotone.

    Imo his voice isn't as recognisable as Duke Nukem, Rico from Just Cause, Ezio off Assassins Creed, Nico in GTA, etc.

    I've heard the new guys voice in the trailers, etc, and I don't mind it at all. Ironside not being in it isn't going to put me off buying the game, especially since it looks awesome so far.

    Does Remedy have 'Alan Wake 2' in the works for the Xbox 360 or next-gen consoles? A big announcement is in the works:
    http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/01/02/alan-wake-creator-teases-greater-news-in-2013

    Also, Larry Hyrb, director of programming for Microsoft, has put a countdown on his blog, pointing to E3 2013. Is it the new Xbox?

    Resident Evil Revelations is coming to consoles (to the 360, at least, though it'll probably be on the PS3 as well).

    http://www.xbox360achievements.org/news/news-13831-Resident-Evil--Revelations-Coming-to-Xbox-360.html

    And here's the Achievements.

    I havent' play a Resident Evil game since... RE4.

    I'm interested in playing RE5 as i've just recently bought the 1:6 scale Hot Toys Jill Valentine figure, the 'Battle suit' version. Which means that I will have to buy the Ada Wong figure when it's released Q2 this year.

    If you're playing it on the PS3, buy the Gold Edition. All of the DLC, right on the disc and no need to get it off the PSN. Now, if you're playing it on the 360, the Gold Edition absolutely has to be purchased brand new, preferably from a store (like Walmart), because it comes with a voucher to get the DLC for free (I don't know why it wasn't on the disc like the PS3 version).

    After RE4, I had really lost interest in the series. I enjoyed 4, and didn't mind that it had taken a different direction because the game was quite separate from the story set up by the previous games. 5 came out and it just angered me. It was no different from 4, gameplay-wise, and the fact that it was the conclusion to the Chris-Jill-Wesker story, with so much stolen from 4, was simply annoying. I played it not long after it came out in 2009, didn't finish it, bought the Gold Edition last year at around this time, still didn't finish it. I finally finished it just a few days ago, after finally getting over my anger at the game.

    Hilariously, I beat RE6 before I beat 5.

    I don't use the PSN, my PS3 isn't hooked up to it, so DLC is useless to me. It's frustrating as so many games require online platinum trophies.

    Ah, Platinum hunter, huh? Well, as I said, the Gold Edition has all the DLC on the disc, no PSN required.

    A research group announces information (possibly) on the 'Xbox 720':

    probably I like Batman Arkham Knight for some reason.

    I've decided the console I'm getting when everything moves to the new era- Steambox. It's made by the guys who made Half Life and Left 4 Dead so I can trust them to give me a quality product.

    Bit worried about the cost though.

    Anyone pick up 'Hitman HD Trilogy' today? I swung by GameStop after classes today and picked up my copy on the Xbox 360, and am having a blast: this was how I remembered Hitman playing out. The graphics aren't crazy HD - it's more of the PC version - but I'm not affected by it. It's great fun, and it's exactly how I remember it. I'm only about halfway through 'Silent Assassin,' and then I think I'll give it another few playthroughs and move on to 'Contracts.' I'm so excited. The art book it came with is gorgeous, though it's part of the case, in a way, so I can't keep it for myself if I ever decide to trade it in.

    8-| Ffs. At least I still have Grand Theft Auto and Aliens to look forward too.

    GTA delayed until Autumn.

    If they're going to make us wait that long could they at least release some gameplay or something?

    September 17? What the f*ck happened to spring?!

    If they need extra time, then they can have the four months. We can judge for ourselves in September - that's five and a half years after the last game.

    You knew it was going to happen. Rockstar always delays their games...which kind of irks me that they don't find a 100% solid release date before they announce it.

    @thelivingroyale, that's not going to happen, either. They may splice a few gameplay bits into a video, but no full gameplay video.

    My interest has dwindled.

    It's quite funny really. Everyone shouts "where's the release date?!", we finally get the date and everyone complains. It will never change though, people are so impatient today.

    I wasn't expecting GTA5 until next year. September is a bonus!

    Also tried out Crysis 3's beta multiplayer. Hate to say it but I think they've pushed current consoles too hard. The graphics look like they're being rendered in a lower resolution and upscaled, and even then there's a lot of frame dropping and slight vaseline smear look to the whole thing. Time for PS4.

    One impressive thing did appear today. First proper in game footage of Killzone Mercenary on Vita:




    Colour me impressed. I shall be stealing my son's Vita again, come September!

    Isn't this just a streaming box, like OnLive? I might have misread previous articles on it but that's how it sounded.

    And with good reason. They said Spring 2013 and then they announce the proper release date and it's coming out in September. It's not about being impatient, it's about them lying.

    It uses the Steam service but I don't think you need a computer to use it. It's still a console I think.
