Today, E3 Starts :) Thread for general discussion

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!

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!

Rane, if you have a min can you give a rough translation of the E3 post on the JP forums?

Swear you provided a translation recently...if not, ignore haha.

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.

You certainly aren't the only one. I thought the same thing.

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?
