Oh and one of the videos they showed, Had the two guys from SNL talking about what they wanna see, and they were wanted to see a game that is, Ninja Turtles and Batman. :)

Microsoft was solid. Nothing insane or totally out there, but solid. All games and no f*cking around.

The one thing that absolutely pissed me off was the bait and switch with Conker. You get him coming out and chain sawing the Spark logo in half and then "Oh, he's gonna be in this game no one gives a sh*t about. Make it yourself I guess."

So mean spirited and frustrating that I wanted to scream.

Edit: Oh, yeah. And this little bit of insanity. Spoiler tagged for huge image.

E3 has been rather underwhelming so far. Everything we're seeing is far off 2015 games anyway and most of them don't even have proper showcasing. Its hard to get excited about games so far away.

EA, Activision and Ubisoft are literally rehashing the same games over and over again. Call of Duty, Battlefield, Assasin's Creed, etc. is so tiring.

Mirror's Edge 2, Star Wars Battlefront, maybe Mass Effect, and The Division look to be the only exciting stuff from them. Thankfully we also have Tomb Raider, Mortal Kombat X, Batman Arkham, Metal Gear Solid V, The Witcher 3, etc. from other developers.

I hope Sony announces something good.

AC seems to be heading into fresh territory with four player co-op, so I ain't complaining. Love the fluidity of it all. At least the series hasn't felt as generic as the COD franchise, which is a bigger issue than a yearly release.

The Microsoft and Sony conferences got boring with all the "timed' Only On XBOX/Playstation talk, none of that exclusive crap makes any console more appealing, they should spent that money on other stuff.

The Xbox conference didn't show anything exclusive that was appealing to me, I actually got bored from seeing trailer after trailer, some talk about the game is good because if not you kind of realize you're just seeing commercial after commercial. It for a while made me wish it had been done the same way as the previous years.

The Sony conference was like previous years and it made me realize that while the Microsoft conference needed a little more talk between games when they demo games it can be so boring or sometimes they just go on for too long. No Man's Sky peaked my interest, looks amazing and has tons of potential, is it an exclusive? I also liked the "dragon" game controlled by two sticks but counting it's only 10 dollars and they didn't go over much of the game and it's already out so it'll be a small game that could be a nice addition but won't get me to buy a PS4. PSNow is something that I'm curious about, I personally think that's the future of gaming whether gamers like it or not. Wish they had talked more about the VR headset, that's the one thing that would get me to buy a PS4.

For third party games, I'm actually kind of excited for the french revolution Assassins Creed, that's a very interesting time to me and the first AC I'm excited about since Revelations, not that I'm excited of more of the same gameplay though..Mortal Kombat X looks more of the same which is alright, I'll probably get it when it's cheap. I'm glad there's new characters, that's something the previous one lacked. Hope we get more post MKIII returning characters though instead of just the first trilogy characters. Star Wars Battlefront looks like it could be good, not much was shown though, so now they're remaking the games to be included in the new canon? Well I hope it includes the awesome moments from the first(two) Battlefronts. And Yeah Mirrors Edge 2 looked great, I"m glad we're finally getting a sequel, I loved the first one but I hope "re-imagining Faith" and "varied gameplay", doesn't mean this becomes another FPS. But yeah I'll be able to play these games on PC and with better graphics, so yeah, both MS and Sony failed to get me to buy their consoles.

I can't help but feel every game looks too similar to the last generation.

Uncharted 4
Metal Gear Solid V
Tomb Raider sequel
Mortal Kombat 10
Batman Arkham Knight
Assassin's Creed
Far Cry 4
Littlebigplanet 3
Remasters of GTA V and The Last of Us
Typical FPS Call of Duty/Battlefield


No Man's Sky looked interesting but I can't figure out what the gameplay of it was supposed to be.

sdp
06-09-2014, 10:58 PM
Exploration maybe? That's what it seems to me.

No Man's Sky looks so amazing, I haven't been this excited for a videogame in forever, I can't remember last time I was this excited for a game, it's been many years. I've looked forward to games but this game seems like an experience that few games recreate and truly immerse me in the world. It seems to be a timed exclusive, which is good so I can just play it on my PC.

I can't help but feel every game looks too similar to the last generation.
I sort of agree, but I guess this generation is still "young", it's just the fact that last gen lasted 8 years that the transition to new types of games is painful. And who knows if it'll change, people seemed to like their generic shooters/zombies/rehashes. I'm hoping it changes but who knows, games have hit a level of mainstream that change might be more gradual from now on just like Hollywood movies...

Excited for Nintendo tomorrow. Hoping for at least one big game reveal that we haven't seen or heard about yet.

Also... Zelda Wii U please.

PS4 lineup looking great, love the From Software title. That's sure to get a lot of play out of me.

LBP3... it seriously looks just like the second game. It doesn't really look like they are making enough changes to it to set it apart from the previous entries. It basically looks like LBP2 with a few new playable characters?

Anyway I slept through most of the stuff today due to my work schedule. I'll be catching up on more trailers in the coming hours.

The amount of zombie games on the market is sickening. Makes me miss the days of classic Resident Evil. I didn't even know The Order 1886 was a zombie game more or less.

I have no interest in any of the FPS games, except maybe Far Cry 4. Even Destiny looked rather meh to me from that opening trailer. I just can't understand how people get so excited for the same FPS they've been recycling since 2007.

I'll add my 2 cents in that it feels like there hasn't been much movement in the industry since last year. It's like we are seeing the same games again. Anything new is either just a proof of concept, a teaser trailer, or am indie game.

Anything that isn't a FPS or indie game is basically sequels to all the big games from the PS3/360 era. Same Uncharted, Batman, Tomb Raider, Metal Gear, Mortal Kombat, Assassin's Creed, etc.

There were very few new IP's shown that weren't indie games.

and I like some indie games...but they aren't system sellers for me. I need a good reason to invest in a PS4 or Xbox One but I haven't seen it yet. I've got a decent PC build and the only sequels I care about so far are coming out on PC (DA:Inquisition, MK:X, & Witcher 3).

Seriously? It was a CG trailer that implied nothing. I don't get the sudden love affair everyone has with From now. They were constantly dumped on for this entire generation, then put out an accidental classic that's sh*tty and broken in a way people find endearing and suddenly they're an amazing developer ? What?

Zulithe
06-10-2014, 07:47 AM
Nothing exceptional about From's use of CGI trailers... it's not a decision I agree with but they're just following what has now become standard protocol for reveals, particularly for games set in a fantasy world.

Here is the Dark Souls II announcement trailer, also CGI:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6uyuIQYlfY

If you want implications, it does the job that most CGI trailers are intended for... beyond trying to look nice it's secondary importance is to set a tone for what to expect from the game, and you can already tell some key differences from the past Souls games even while they are all set in brutal worlds filled with grotesque monsters.

If people are able to still be excited despite it being a CGI trailer instead of a gameplay one, it's only due to their track record. I think most core gamers eschew CGI trailers, generally speaking, unless there is a background of solid games to prop it up.

And hey, I really admire From's rise. Even studios with spotty or mediocre output can turn it around sometimes. They've managed to find a nice niche for themselves and I'm very thankful for that. We need more developers out of Japan that can appeal to such a wide audience.

Nintendo coming up!

06-10-2014, 12:01 PM
I'm biased towards Nintendo but to me they had the most entertaining "conference" at E3, I haven't liked any of their conferences since their 3DS reveal or Metroid Other M reveal forget which one of those is more recent but that was the last E3 where they "wowed" me. Still the best game of E3 so far for me is "No Man's Sky", that game just makes my imagination run wild.

You know I haven't liked how much Nintendo embraced their online meme's since I think it just made their ego bigger and failed to understand them, but this time in the event it was great, loved the Robot Chicken segments, I need to start watching that show again. Their Nintendo skits were always great. And Poor 3DS, didn't get much love but that's ok it has enough content for the year.
The NFC amiibo ideas look stupid so far but the figures look amazing so i'll buy them just to have them on my shelf...Miis in Smash I was not really interested in until Tomodachi life renewed my interest in them. Palutena I'm not familiar with her so she didn't do much for me. Haven't played Xenoblade and this upcoming game doesn't make me too excited, the human characters look awful but I know the game looks amazing.

The Captain Toad game, I have never played it but I remember reading a post two months ago on a blog about how Nintendo should do a spin off off of it so I guess it's good? I never played Bayonetta and it never interested me and neither did the sequel but counting the game includes the original as well and all the fan interest I may just get it, who knows. Splatoon? Not interested in spending full price on it but it does remind me of Mario Sunshine which I loved and had some interesting ideas.

Yarn Yoshi looks good like a sequel to Yoshi's Story which I know is not very well liked but that's how the game feels and I'm ok with it. Kirby's Epic Yarn was fun even if calling it an easy game is being generous. Talking about Kirby, the new Canvas Course sequel with Play Doh looks amazing, Canvas Course is one of the best Kirby Games out of the dozens that exist so that's saying a lot.

Mario Maker looks great, and loved the Mario Paint feel that it had, playing both New and classic style is a great addition. Pretty excited for such a basic idea. Hyrule Warriors actually interests me now previously I only found it amusing but now I think it looks cooler, not sure if I'll be getting it though. The new Zelda looks great, but I'll wait until we see some actual gameplay. I'm ok with Robots and the idea of the open field looks great. Hope Link doesn't wear Blue though..

and it looks like Nintendo still has tons of stuff to announce/is announcing..

Peanut
06-10-2014, 12:08 PM
Nintendo is still actively announcing stuff too. Devil's Third just got announced as a Wii U exclusive, they showed off a bunch of the NFC figures, they've apparently got 3DS games to announce, including one tomorrow night (rumoured to be Majoras Mask) and it was clear from Miyamotos little video that he was playing a Star Fox game. Nintendo has **** going on.

CyberCubed
06-10-2014, 12:09 PM
I love that Yoshi Yarn is still alive. By far the best thing was Captain Toad as those levels were fantastic. The rest of the games we knew about but interesting to see Mario Maker be real.

That Splatoon game looks terrible, I thought I was looking at a THQ game from 2003 or something. I have no idea why they wasted so much time on that.

Peanut
06-10-2014, 12:12 PM
Oh, so Star Fox is actually just on the show floor apparently. That game exists.

06-10-2014, 12:20 PM
Yes, Nintendo is indeed dropping bombs, they also announced a new Mario vs DK game, many of these announcements are not huge but they're a lot of new games. Counting a lot of these titles are for 2015...Remember last November many articles online mentioned the Wii U actually had the best games of any of the consoles, this year it also looks like Nintendo has much to compete with MS/Sony and they have 2015 ready...and yet I don't think any of this is enough to sell Wii U's...who knows the PS3 did make a comeback..

Love how they keep innovating the series and this new open-world is a humongous step-forward. Graphics will look much better in gameplay IMO since that's how it worked for Wind Waker with the cel-shading. Also, Link can seriously rock a ponytail! :)

Hyrule Warriors looked freaking sweet too. Can't wait to play as Zelda herself!

I can't comment on Starfox as we don't know if its a full fledged game or not.

06-10-2014, 04:57 PM
It's still 2014, dipsh*t. Let's wait to complain about next year, considering we're only halfway through this one.

And Miyamoto said this afternoon that Star Fox is a thing he expects out a year from now.

Also, Yoshi is a small developed game? Why? And Captain Toad is this year. Did you also forget Kirby and Xenoblade are 2015 games? Research a little before you whine.

With Capcom, Sega and Namco all getting representation, it'll be a shame if Snake doesn't return to represent Konami.

Other than Square-Enix, that would be almost all the big Japanese publishers who made gaming what it is today. Although at the same time its kinda sad seeing how much gaming has moved away from its Japanese roots since these characters other than Snake aren't as big as they used to be.

The Pac-Man re-design actually grew on me and I thought if Pac-Man made it he would be using that design and was ok with it. When reading the tweets on my phone I read how Sakurai wanted an earlier design for Pac-Man but Namco didn't let him. So I was very surprised when I saw classic Pac-Man, apparently Sakurai wanted to go further back :lol: But now it makes Sonic kind of stick out like a sore thumb. I guess Sega absolutely didn't let them use classic Sonic, and I like modern Sonic. Seeing those four together makes me ok with not having any other third party characters, they are the biggest icons and deserve to be in Smash Bros. As much as I'd love to see other deserving gaming icons like Bomberman, they aren't as big as the three third party characters we have. Snake never felt right in Brawl, even if he is a gaming icon in his own right, i'd only be ok with him being there if we had other icons represented first. Kind of a shame that they cancelled the Wii U version of Pac-Man collection though, it'd be such a great way to highlight his history for his appearance in this game.


Anyway, I liked reading that Hyrule Warriors is not only non-canon but also will have tons of playable characters. I hope they use this to their advantage and go all crazy, we should be able to play with almost every iconic Zelda character ever made, Dynasty Warrior games always have tons of playable characters, and now there's no reason why we can't have every Link ever made, or go crazy with the story, or go crazy with character re-designs. Sadly I don't think they'll take advantage of it.

Edit: so the new game is a new IP? Good, turn based strategy? excellent. Steampunk? yawn. I'll judge it when I see it, counting it's by Intelligent System it's probably going to be something I want to play, I'm just a little bummed this basically means no Advance Wars this gen at least and I'm not crazy for the setting of this game. hahaha at the Majora's Mask trolling nintendo has done, I really thought that'd be the other 2014 Christmas title, I guess it can still be announced in a Direct but it doesn't seem like for 2014.

A Valkyria Chronicles inspired strategy game by Intelligent Systems, where you play as a team of silver age super hero-ish agents, drafted by Lincoln, who fight against Lovecraftian aliens. Also, one of the main characters is a lion named Lion.

From the Nintendo side the best games shown other than Smash were Captain Toad, Mario Maker and Yoshi's Wooly yarn. I'm surprised how impressed I was with those 3 games, even if they're all Mario spinoffs. Those games looked amazing.

Hyrule Warriors also looks much better than the perceived warriors game with a Zelda skin it was revealed as.

The more I see of Splatoon the more I could see myself enjoying it. I really hope that game takes off, it looks like a blast.

I thoroughly enjoyed Nintendo's Press Conference. The Robot Chicken sketches were awesome XD.

I'm really looking forward to Zelda U and hoping to see some more footage of Star Fox U!!

I'm glad we got a new Zelda game but i don't understand why link looks more feminine than past games.

No. He said it's Link in an interview. Stop reading sh*t holes like NeoGAF.

Peanut gets a lot of pleasure out of bashing GAF. Like any forum full of fans (thetechnodrome.com being no exception), people are quick to jump on speculation, rumors, even hopes. A lot of people would like a female lead in the series.

But GAF was just as fast to report the words right from Aonuma's mouth:

So? That doesn't stop the place from being a cesspool.

And I get no pleasure out of it. I just don't want to hear about it, or the nonsense it generates, here in my little corner of the Internet. I frequented GAF when I was a teenager and left the moment I grew out of what that place is. It's a toxic community with a childish sense of pride. Everything about it makes me hate my hobby, which is something I'd rather not do.

It's great to see another Zelda game coming out, hopefully it can wash out the bad taste left from Skyward Sword.

It was certainly no Wind Waker. I kind of had to force myself to beat it after a bit.

And people linking to neogaf? Uuuuuuuuuugh.
