UPDATE: You can check out our Day One podcast right here!
It’s day one of my trip to Gamesom with EA and the 2012 Community team, so here’s what I’ve been up to today. It started with a 3:30 am alarm clock that I handled surprisingly well. An insane Glasgow Taxi driver then arrived to take me to the airport to catch a flight to Amsterdam, and from there another fight to Dusseldorf and then a double decker train to Cologne where I met up with the team and headed off to the EA Press Conference.
There was tons on show there and we cover a good deal of it in the daily podcast that will be posted shortly but I thought I’d go over some things that caught my eye before heading out to eat all the sausages then mincing my way off to the much talked about Madcatz party!
Need for Speed: Most Wanted seems to be a huge return to what everyone loved about Burnout Paradise. A huge open world, driving like a crazed idiot to build boost that will let you push the crazy even further. Some standout feature are the full integration of the newly revamped AutoLog 2, dropping stats and leaderboards right into your hud at every challenge point on the map. A nice touch being that the friend at the top of each billboard jump leaderboard will have their face plastered across that billboard inciting you to to smash their record, and the photo, to bits.
Battlefield 3 is getting a Premium Edition retail release consisting of the game, a Premium membership giving you access to all current and future DLC and some added extras to help you catch up in the game, which is likely to be weapon and equipment unlocks. This is perfect for me as I’m aching to get back into the game but can’t find my copy. So if you’ve been holding back on joining our weekly matches this could be perfect for you too.
We cover the Crysis 3 Hunter mode in the podcast by piling on mounds of speculation, suffice it to say it looks like it should be a huge amount of fun and we’ll be doing our best to get some hands on with it over the next few days and then solid details will be incoming.
Keeping it short today as the real fun begins tomorrow and keep an eye out for the day one podcast later today.
Remember to keep an eye on the @ReadyUp Twitter feed as well as my own, @ShoryuDan and our Instagram account ReadyUpPhotos where I’ll be dropping bits of info as I come across them as well as some great competitions; although tonight it’s likely to be about sausages.
