20 minutes to go. Good show for me personally. Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, a game I’m working on, got at least one nomination for best in show. ---

That game looks awful interesting. Too bad it’s not on more platforms. If it doesn’t come to Xbone or PC at some point, I’ll probably pick it up on Ps4 in a year or two as it looks right up my alley. ---

We’ll see. ---

We’ll see. I think your OS might be an issue, assuming you haven’t updated. Vista is minimum. ---

It’s not a “new” game, but I was excited over Sony’s announcement of a remastered Grim Fandango. That might be up there for the best news I’ve heard so far this year. ---

Are they redoing the control scheme too? Because I might actually play that game if they get rid of the goddamn tank controls. ---

It might not matter, actually. It was mainly a problem of a PC game trying to emulate a console gamepad on a keyboard. I do hope they fix the controls or add an alternate option when it eventually comes to PC. It was the only obviously bad thing about the game. ---

> [@Kinthalis](#): > > I think your OS might be an issue, assuming you haven’t updated. Vista is minimum. I did upgrade to windows 7 last year. I’m running an intel dual core 3.2 and a Radeon 4870. Think I have a shot at it? I don’t care if I have to turn some options down as long as it doesn’t look significantly worse than GTA 4 (which runs fine, except once in a while I get a solid grey/black “sheet” hovering above the street that covers everything). ---

Mass Effect 4 is my personal killer app for the new consoles. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/e3-2014-thread/690469.md?page=1)
