General E3 Topic
« on: June 05, 2012, 11:01:38 am »
Any new showings that you guys are interested in?

Need For Speed: Most Wanted is a guaranteed must buy for me, but I've heard good things about that new game that Ubisoft showed (Watch Dogs).
There haven't been as many surprises as I was expecting though. Most announcements seem to be games we already knew about, or sequels that were pretty much guaranteed.

Platinum Games has a Wii U launch title?

Viewtiful Joe visual style meets Pikmin? I dig.

Looking forward to that.
I don't think Square or SEGA have dedicated conferences, so I'm looking forward to when more information starts coming out from them.

I wish IGN's layout wasn't so cluttered. It's a huge pain to sort through news there. They were my go-to site for E3 news in 2003 :).

Yeah I hate the IGN layout. I just scroll through the latest news on Joystiq.

Pretty much this, unfortunately. So far from what I've seen of the conferences, Pikmin 3, The Last of Us, Watch Dogs, Rayman Legends, and I guess Assassin's Creed 3 looked pretty good.

Sadly, there's been nothing that's really blown my skirt up just yet (apart from maybe hearing that Zeno Clash is getting a new game), but there's been some cool stuff. I'll repost my post from the MS topic:

South Park: looks legitimately great, like a great big tribute to the show. It seems to have captured the humour and a lot of the iconic characters and feel (Jesus with a machine gun, Captain Chaos, City Wok guy..). I'm actually optimistic about this one.

Splinter Cell: Blacklist: Hnnngggghhh, not sold on this just yet. I was honeslty hoping for something more of a return to the classic stealth that made the series big in the first place. I really enjoyed Conviction as well, but ultimately I found the previous games to be better. The good thing is, that playthrough looked like a 'flawless' run through the level, probably on easy as well. I'm sure that you'll really need to depend on stealth more in a lot of sections. The mark and execute looks like it's really brain-dead (and I guess it is), but in Conviction you really needed it to survive the harder difficulties. It's not the instant win button either since you usually can't get everyone at once and you need to melee kill to get access to it. Overall I think it'll be good. I know i'll end up getting it anyway, SC hasn't dissapointed me yet no matter the direction it's taken.

Halo 4: Yep, it's Halo alright. Looks pretty good, but why do they have real life actors for the intro, that looked crap.

Gears of War: Judgement: Lucky guess on the 'Gears of War: Subtitle' call. Teaser trailers are fun, be interesting to see what this turns out like.

Nyko Androd Pad Thingies: Will be cool for emulators on your phone.

End of Nations: Free to play? Just don't make it 'Pay to win' (looking at you Age of Empires Online)

Zeno Clash 2: FUCK YES FUCK YES FUCK YES

Guacamelee! Metroid-vania game featuring a masked Mexican wrestler? Count me in. Too bad it's not out for aaages

Samsung says 'Fuck Consoles' I found this particularly interesting, if not overly 'exciting' I wonder if this will become a new standard soonish?
http://au.ign.com/articles/2012/06/05/e3-2012-how-samsung-joined-the-console-wars
It's basically the on-Live service from years ago that i thought was brilliant, but done even better. This could be big if they do it right.

Beyond: Two Souls This trailer really impressed me. The game just looks really cool and I can't put my finger on exactly what I like about it so much. Colour me intersted. I think I'll have to go and play Heavy Rain now.

Watch Dogseghhhhhh, not sure what to think of this one. Cool concept for sure, I've watched bits of the gameplay, but i'm just not overly intersted to the point where I really want to watch all the vids and trailers. I'll probably wait and check it out again closer to launch.

Resident Evil 6 Looks awesome to me, I can't wait.

A lot of the games from established franchises or developers I'm not really that excited about. I'm sure these will all be really good games, and i'm looking forward to them, but I'm just not surprised by them.
I'm hoping theres some more offbeat stuff that I'll stumble upon like Guacamolee and ZenoClash, stuff that I wasn't expecting and looks really different. Again, I'm not doing the 'man mainstream gaming sucks!' bit, but just that I already KNOW what Halo 4 is going to be, and AC3 is going to be etc. I want to see some more 'What the fuck is this?' games.


Anyway, tl:dr:
RE6, Beyond: Two Souls are the two big 'blockbuster' titles that really wowed me the most. Zeno Clash 2 was the biggest surprise. Guacamolee looks cool. Hope there's more games that i've missed so far.

Excited about Watch Dogs, Halo 4, Crysis 3..


That's pretty much it..
Very very weak E3 this year. I got way more excited with trailers that weren't on E3. The new Sega games, Doom 3 BFG, Skyrim Downguard...


EDIT:
NFS: Most Wanted is also good.
And I was very VERY impressed with the whole Ship Battle thing in Ass Cred 3. If it has a ship battling only mode I'll get it, I find the main point of the hole game extremely boring.


Also, remember when Splinter Cell was a stealth game?

Very fondly...

Although while I still think the old games are the best, Conviction was pretty damn good as well. It's different, but I still enjoy it, so it's kind of cool to see a different take on Splinter Cell. It's kind of like comics, you can have Punisher in Marvel Universe, which I like, and then you have Punisher MAX Universe, which is different, but I also like.

Would be cool if one day they go back to the old-school stealth SC games, but if not I can always replay the originals again.

Could Sony's fighting mash up game copy Super Smash Bros anymore?
