Random Video Game Crap

It's a reference to Earthbound, where the only contact you have with your father is over the phone and randomly throughout the game, it pauses and a magic photographer comes down and takes a photo of you and your party. Earthbound is wacky. I feel dirty now. EVERYTHING IS RUINED.
 
Things Gran Turismo 7 needs to incorporate:

an optional damage system, for those who want wrecks to do more than stall you for 5 seconds

no fucking Kart races

a more dynamic weather system

being able to upload saved replays directly onto YouTube/social media

a few less basically identical variants of Nissan GT-R, Mazda MX-5 and RX-7, Honda Type-R, and Mitsubishi Lancer Evo replaced by legitimately awesome cars, including but not limited to the Dodge M4S Turbo Interceptor, the Ford GT90, the Phantom Corsair, Corvette Mako Shark, the AeroVette (a mid-engine prototype Corvette), Maserati as a manufacturer (250F, 450S, 3500GT, Tipo 61 Birdcage, Ghibli Spyder, Bora, Merak, MC-12, Quattroporte Sport GTS, Granturismo MC Stradale, Alfieri Concept, Birdcage 75th Concept), more Pontiacs (Banshee concepts, 1988 Fiero GT, 1956 Star Chief, 2002 Trans Am WS6, 1969 GTO Judge, 2010 G8 ST ute), GM FireBird I-III concepts, Ford-Shelby GR-1 Concept, Lyonheart K (essentially a completely modern version of the Jaguar E-Type), Shelby SuperCars Ultimate Aero, Koenigsegg, Austin Healy, MGB, the Hudson Hornet...

better economics - reducing the grind necessary for money, while still making peak performance required to win certain cars

It's been a while, but last I heard (admittedly in the late 90s) there was no body damage in GT games by contractual arrangement - the car manufacturers specifically stipulated they wanted no images of their products in a damaged/destroyed state. As I said, that was like... back in the day of GT3 or something, so it may have changed since then, but maybe not. I dunno.

That sounds about right. In GT6 you get slightly crinkled body panels and scratched paint, but no performance penalties. Including when I got a McLaren F1 Stealth to do a double barrel roll at Bathhurst.

The thing I remember most about GT3 was how sick I was of Lenny Kravitv's Are You Gonna Go My Way.
 
ProJared played through it recently. It looks cool but it's still early in development so there's a lot of bugs and hitbox issues, and odds are SE is going to DMCA the shit out of them once it gains some traction in the blog circles.
 
More Kingdom Hearts 3 art released during Disney's d23 convention. This one looked interesting.



So... looks like we're getting San Fransokyo (of Big Hero 6) as a world. That's pretty cool. It'd be cooler if we got a release date though.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! :heart::heart::heart:
 
Doubt it. Disney does not care about the Disney afternoon stuff.

I would love a Darkwing Duck/DuckTales world, but likewise, won't happen.
Yeah, the closest thing to that which we'll get is probably the Disney Infinity fan vote. They've had a poll open, letting folks vote for a potential character to get their own Disney Infinity figure. It's been a while since I checked, but the votes were pretty much neck-to-neck between Darkwing Duck and Mabel Pines.

At first I thought that huge arm was a wing, and that they're going to have a one-winged angel version of Baymax.

Which is something I didn't know I wanted to see until now.

Nah... it looks like this is a Baymax made up of the nanobots, loosely based on the FFX version of Bahamut. He's even got the little wheel thing on his back.
 
Apparently they did a short announcement trailer for the KH3/BH6 thing. The excuse for the there being another Baymax is that the abandoned Baymax body from beyond the portal is being manipulated by Darkness and it's gone rogue.



I guess we're getting a Tangled world too? Looking through some of the other stuff, Disney Infinity 3.0 will apparently have Sora's Keyblade as it's Ultimate Unlock (for getting all the 3.0 figures) and they were giving away exclusive King Mickey (KH3) costume discs for Disney Infinity 3.0 as well.
 
Actually, that's because the chef brought his pet kitten to work (the kitten's name is Rodney), and he keeps Rodney in his hat to ensure the little guy doesn't get trampled on by staff members or by guests. Agent 47 just killed Rodney, and the chef is collapsing to the floor in anguish at losing his beloved pet.

I mean, just look at his expression at the end there.

Disney wants a word.
