Board 8 > Today's gaming news - 8/28/11 (PAX Edition)

(+) Yeah! (+)

- New game from one of the creators of Portal was revealed. Called Quantum Conundrum, it looks pretty similar to Portal but with a new gameplay mechanic. Portal fans should be excited about this, I think. It's coming to PSN/XBLA/PC. http://www.ign.com/videos/2011/08/27/quantum-conundrum-video-preview

- More Persona 4 Portable rumours: http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2011/08/28/persona_4_announcement/ - it sounds like this could be a TGS reveal.

- Castle Crashers gets a big patch and some new DLC. Part of the patch is letting you know about upcoming news -- likely to start advertising for Battleblock Theater. http://www.destructoid.com/castle-crashers-gets-new-content-on-xbox-360-210028.phtml

- PAX wasn't all that happened this weekend -- Halo Fest as well. Halo 4 concept art trailer and some details: http://www.vg247.com/2011/08/28/new-art-based-halo-4-trailer-airs-at-pax/

- Rollercoaster Tycoon 3DS. Alright then. http://www.n-europe.com/news.php?nid=16173

- This thread is a really nice compilation of everything coming out on the 3DS. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=442692

All the usual AAA games have interviews and impressions about from PAX. Those games have been dissected to death and don't really need more coverage, but they're out there if you want them.

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

True, if only we could find a user willing to make the superior topics, but Transience is nowhere to be found.

I miss the gaming discussion topics. This current form is far too transient.

I've read that the Diablo III hands-on is amazing. Someone on the DIII board was a big time hater about the graphics style and basically within seconds you don't care about them. Not that anyone should have cried about that (or the RMAH) in the first place.

But any gameplay issues people have been worried about seem to be "nothing to worry about"

Walter: No, Donny. These men are cowards.

That's awesome for D3 then.
