I love that I can get all the information I need about E3 from this thread alone. So far the only thing non-Oddworld related that has piqued my interest is Mirrors Edge 2, I'm not really a gamer though so I suppose most of it is going to seem a little dull to me any way.
That being said, the primary thing the game's market needs right now is competition, anyone with an ounce of economic sense will understand that. One hundred and forty in dev games for the PS4 in one year is pretty fucking good for that. |
I'm just pleased Sony pulled its finger out of its arse this time around.

If anyone wants to see Lorne looking smug.

Look at him, waving and smiling.

Well, I did end up watching Ubisoft's conference last night and boy did that suck. CG trailer after CG trailer. CG trailer for Rayman. Why. Why. The new gameplay of Rayman Legends looked pretty cool though and the new Tom Clancy game, Division, looked very interesting. Everything else was pretty shit, can't comment on the new driving game (The Crew?) as I did not really pay attention to that part.
Sony's conference was quite good, but I wished they would've shown more games. They completely ripped on Microsoft's online policies and that was fun to watch. Destiny played a bit like Borderlands, it was pretty neat. The price was a pleasant surprise. Bring on Nintendo direct, yay. |
So the Nintendo conference showed New n Tasty on the Wii U. They also showed a bit of a cut scene from when abe is shocked after he found out about muds being the meat. Looked pretty good :) Glad to see its going to other consoles too.

Megaman! Megaman!
...wait, who cares about Megaman? |
OANST used to.

Nintendo have really impressed me. I know Nintendo stick to IPs but c'mon, all their titles look stunning. Smash Bros alone is making me want to buy a Wii U right now. |
I'm not too sure how I feel about the new Smash Bros. game. The trailer was really cool but so far it just looks like Brawl, but I think it's too early to make a judgement because they haven't revealed any new mechanics yet. Looking forward to seeing more new challengers. So far I've been really impressed with what I've seen!
|
Nothing can really convince me a Wii U is worth it at this point, I'd rather get a 3DS.
|
On the Microsoft side, Killer Instinct, Below and Spark really were interesting, the rest is more of the same. On Sony's side, RAIN and The Order were really great for me. Also, The Division looked divine...seriously great. Megaman on Smash Bros. That was a neat addition, looking forward to it. And finally, as of now, MGSV. Boy oh boy, 2013/2014 are gonna be great years for players.
|
Yeah, The Division I hope will end up being something special, but it's hard to trust Ubisoft not to fuck it up in some way at this point.
|
I'm keeping my hopes very moderate for both The Division and Watch_Dogs. UBISOFT tends to fuck up out of the blue.
|
After the SSB and Cat Mario presentations I'm pretty much set on getting a Wii U, probably going to get one next time I get paid. am I the only one super impressed with SSb's graphics? I can't stop looking at the screenshots, it looks like a pixar film!
|
Cuberpunk 2077 could be interesting. Because Cyperpunk. Trailer gave almost nothing away. Still, gonna be dope, tho.

So this happened:
|
I think the Final Fantasy XV trailers look interesting, but I'm not sold on them. I like the idea of a Kingdom Hearts inspired battle system in a more serious setting. I was concerned but how scripted parts of the combat gameplay looked, but I though the same thing about parts of Kingdom Hearts 3D and couldn't have been more wrong. This game was produced alongside KH3D, and they shared lots of ideas between them so hopefully the same things apply.

Call me retarded (please don't I have low self-esteem) but that is a joke right?

|
No it's real and I must admit. The trailer did make me laugh.

e: Just watched that rape joke video on Youtube. Whilst it's pretty dumb to say something like that in front of such an enormous crowd of people, what sickened me more were the comments in the video. I mean...wow. |
Wii Fit Trainer seems like the most boring character ever.
|
:
Also, the rape joke...*sigh* FOR FUCK SAKES!! It was trash talking, like every other competitive moment...whatta hell society? Fuck you in the ass....fuck this... |
Yeah, it was pretty sad/pathetic people clamoring to calling the KI thing a rape joke.

Neither of them were anywhere near as hard as Megaman 1. I grew up playing the shit out of that game, so I'm used to it. There was a bit of an adjustment period because I hadn't played since 5 or 6, but after getting used to it, it was a lot of fun.
The achievements in those games are both stupid, and ridiculous though. I didn't even attempt to get them. |

E3 was quite good this year. Let's not ruin it by turning this thread into a feminist discussion. If we must have another one, I suggest hijacking any thread that Nate has a vested interest in. He likes it.
Also, bitches and whores. |

Sony got away with their policy on used games. That restriction is entirely in the hands of the publishers and/or developers, who are the people who benefit from that kind of thing anyway.
So what they said was true, yet disingenuous. |

Nate’s right – as much as I don’t want publishers enforcing DRM this is no worse in theory than the current generation.
What remains to be seen is which platform publishers will prefer. Microsoft told journalists that their DRM policies came about through talks with publishers; if that’s the case, will publishers favor Xbone and neglect the PS4? |
