The Official E3 2011 Thread

[愛]

I find Kotaku to be a useful website for information only. The community, however, is terrible. I also find Kotaku to be rather on the quick for getting new information up on the site. I like that.

Besides Kotaku, IGN and Gamespot, what other sites are there?

Really? I've been visiting Kotaku for quite a while and they have a much lower ratio of dicks in the comments section than anybody else.

Unless you meant something else by that.

I don't even want to discuss video games on a news site. That's like going to CNN and discussing political views on there. Horrifying.

I'd rather just discuss video games here.

Turo, learn how to link better. If you're going to do this sh*t all through E3 I guarantee you no one will bother with your posts.

So is every other game news blog out there. Kotaku will occasionally break news, but 2 minutes later every single other blog will have it up there anyways. Unless you no job and no life, I don't see how 5 seconds to 2 minutes is going to impact your news consumption.

I wouldn't go that far, because IGN is entirely worthless. At least Kotaku will get an interesting news bit out every so often.

However, Kotaku is awful because their editors are childish and generally have their head up their ass. Surprisingly, the only one worth his salt anymore is Mike McWhertor, who's grown into a respectable personality as far as game media goes. I've told the story before, but I actual had one of the Kotaku editors verbally attack me in the comments section and had another get into an e-mail argument with me.

For straight out news I just go to Joystiq. Their personalities are never involved in their posts. It's just the news without all the bullsh*t.

Update your bookmarks, kids. You only need 3 game sites to get everything you need. Joystiq for straight news. GameTrailers for video and important reviews and Giant Bomb for great game related video content and entertaining discourse on games in general.

Anyways, Metal Gear Solid HD collection sounds really nice. Getting achievements in MGS games sounds GREAT. Also kinda f*cking insane we'll be playing a weird off-shoot PSP game on the 360. Kojima productions also said they're working on a new engine that'll finally make them able to port their games to other systems like everyone else in the f*cking world. Goodbye Sony exclusive MGS games, I guess.

Saw the Soul Calibur V trailer. Disappointed. It looks like Soul Calibur IV with Super Combos and recycled stages. I was honestly hoping for a massive step forward, especially since SCIV was essentially a makeup game to overwrite the pile of sh*t that was SCIII. DOA4 brought us the ultimate multi-tier stages. Mortal Kombat brought us what a fighting game story mode should be. Soul Calibur V brings us... Super Combos? Welcome to 1994. Also, the graphics look unchanged. I don't see a massive leap from SCIV to SCV. We should be looking at a leap from a first-gen game to a last-gen game for these consoles. Either Namco is lazy and recycling their engine, or these consoles have reached their limit. Knowing Namco, I pick option #1.

Looks totally unchanged. I'm a BIG SC player. I hope to heaven there's a lot more than meets the eye here, otherwise I'm going to be a sad puppy. I want destructible stages dammit.

Just a quick note. I'll be on the floor day 1 and 2. If anyone else is going to be there, PM me here and we can set something up

Sadly this may be my last year attending for a couple years. I'm using my lay off at Disney as a good excuse to go back to school full time; So I won't be wading back into the game industry for at least 2 years.

**** Project Cafe, **** Arkham City, and **** The Last Guardian. All I care about now is the Metal Gear Solid collection!

...Ok, not really, but I am seriously stoked on this news.

My biggest concern? How they will handle the controls. I think a revamp is the right choice to make. Something along the lines of Metal Gear Solid 4 with minor adjustments would be great. In the end, I'll consider it a fair bonus even if they just give us a third-person camera in Metal Gear Solid 2. That would definitely help freshen up the game.

Edit: Realizing that implementing a modern camera could possibly really junk up the experience for MGS2.

What do you guys think - Can Metal Gear Solid 2 work with a refined camera/control scheme?

Keep in mind that it's like 10% complete. They really shouldn't have showed a trailer this early... it's still in its developmental infancy and it shows.

I'm not gonna lie, this game looks beautiful.
