Today, E3 Starts :) Thread for general discussion

no ffxiv tidbits ; ;

Report cards?

Microsoft: F
EA: F
Ubisoft: C+
Sony: D-

I may have to finally break down and get a PS3 (if there is a price drop before or soon after Last of Us comes out). Between Two Souls, Last Of Us, and downloadable legacy FF titles, it may be about time.

Sony '06 is worth an F. I'd say Microsoft at least gets D.

EA, D+ for acknowledging SWTOR exists at least. Excited for the new Sim City.

Sony showed a lot of cool stuff. No real reason to hate because of one thing that didn't interest you. C.

Ubisoft really rocked this year, imo. Watch_Dogs looks absolutely fantastic. B. Now I'm just curious as to what Nintendo will show.

Swotor is going full F2P in just a few more months

ya I'm surprised by that to, I figured if anything they would show off Sleeping Dogs since they did show off Tomb Raider at the Microsoft presentation. Though it seems the only thign Sony was concerned about was showing that their graphics for Assassin's Creed 3 is better then the 360's version lol.

lol nice sig, I really don't get why they waste money on that crap. People watch the presentations for information, not for some hip hop artist/rapper to sing and dance on the stage for them and take up 1/6 of the show lol.

they didnt show anything good at anything really lol

Unisoft so far has had the best stuff(and half of it got repeated at sony which made them a TOTAL FAIL) for having so much unoriginal stuff

Well Castle is welcome..and ZOE hd is better then nothing. Not sure im sold on the Rayden game though..lotta competition in that genre.

Japan is still holding it down on the fighting game scene at least.

The last of us looked awesome! Looked like a survival game of old, no regenerating health, low ammo... God tier if it fulfills! I didn't mind the sony presser, better than MS but that's not saying much, I missed the majority of the Ubi conference too though, which might have had something to do with it. I didn't think much of Farcry 3, ass creed 3 boat demo looked unreal for a console game. Hype train for nintendoooooo!

Nintendo's tommorrow?
Ya'll ready for new Nintendo games?
Hell yeah you are!
LET'S HEAR IT FOR NINTENDO!
YEAH!
NINTENDOMINATE!

NINTENDOMINATE!

Tweets from Hideo Kojima.

Said Kojima: "'The Last of Us' was, of course, amazing. The first time I've wanted to play a game in a while." In a subsequent Tweet, he added "As a creator, The Last of Us demo crossed beyond envy and brought me delight. It brought out the desire to create again. Thank you."

&

Inaba: "I have no idea how it's being controlled, but this expression for something interactive is absolutely amazing! Naughty Dog is too amazing!"

When Kojima has envy for a game, you know it has to be good!

Whoops, sorry! Just noticed this message now.

Foxclon's post in the E3 thread on the Japanese side doesn't give any major revelations or anything. Foxclon said that, as far as he's allowed to say, Yoshida will be meeting with various members of the media while at E3, including the Japanese press.

Foxclon says that if you're interested in what Yoshida is talking about at E3, keep an eye on the gaming press.

Naughty dog is amazing, he is right! I thought there would be more from Kojima during Sony though, I was kind of expecting metal gear rising to be there. Saw it on g4tv earlier and it looked kinda fun.

Iirc wasn't it at last years Sony conference demo'd with move?

Is it bad that the entire time the Last Of Us demo was playing, I thought it was just another Uncharted game? I was honestly surprised at the end when the title came up.

There is a none regenerating health meter, crafting, the girl wasn't dead weight and was useful, the graphics look better than uncharted 3.

The style is very Naughty Dog-esk and the pacing is quite reminiscent of Uncharted, but the story and characters seem quite different. In particular, the girl really grabbed my attention. It's rare for a younger character like that to be interesting and, well, useful. Too often games equate "younger" with "dead weight". Not to mention, from a technological stand point, the game is absolutely stunning. They took what they learned from Uncharted, and built on it. The dynamic events and real-time character interaction is absolutely jaw dropping.

Hey, is it just me, or are games looking more like failed movie concepts?

Which may mean something to someone who is really into Uncharted. The characters look similar for the most part, especially to those who aren't avid fans. The gameplay looks similar. Made by the same company, so a lot of stylistic choices carry over. Graphics being better is just silly. Graphics change all the time between games. Crafting could have been a new feature. I can see how it's easy to confuse the two at first glance.

On a related note, I really need to get around to playing through Uncharted at some point.

Ah, my apologies. Misunderstood you.

Xbox so far owns the show. I'm disapointed with Sony. Man if FFXIV 2.0/Versus/Last Guardian trailer was there on Sony would of owned the show.

So there still Nintendo for tomorrow so... maybe it will blow 360 outta the water but who knows...

Top games so far that have been shown close and at E3

Devil May Cry
MW4..5?
RE6
Last of Us
God of War
Castlevania
Skyrim DLC
Heavy Rain... 2?
Southpark RPG
Assassin's Creed
Halo4
Tomb Raider

and Nintendo... hopefully will be...
Super Smash Bro4
New Zelda Game
Pikman
Wii U
New Super Mario game

They should release FF14 on Wii U!
