E3 preview and good video games

[Moving_Target]

I got to the 40min part in Ubi's conference so I'm not going to comment on Watch_Dogs yet, but I have heard that it's jaw dropping.

@Nasal: A game needs more than just graphics to be good and I'm on reserve about it too like Cerfon. LA needs to release a longer clip of action. The graphics did absolutely stun me.

M$ was ok. Definitely better than last year, but needs to be better. Metroid Prime 4 was nice to see and for sure a heavy hitter and I did like how it opened their conference instead of CoD for the 4th year in a row. But beside Halo 4 and South Park, the rest was just blah and not games. I'm giving them a C-.

EA. Oh boy. Ok. I love their structure. Game name, two things new about it, 7 min demo, move onto the next game for an hour, but god they need some left field games that shock us. Oh cool another madden, NFS, MoH/BF3. Nothing new. I give them a D.

At the time of this posting I'm working through Ubi, which has impressed me so far. Then Sony. and myself and my body will be ready for Nintendo's at noon.

I have to say it, Microsoft's E3 2011 was better than Microsoft's E3 2012.
Games I have liked to see:

- Black Ops 2.
- Fable The Journey (with Kinect) (really bad presentation, the "trailer" says nothing)

Black Ops 2: campaing mode, this gameplay says nothing. I want to see Reznov or Hudson in the history, or in a flashback or in the campaing mode. We can play as a female character (finally!!!!) in the multiplayer mode (it doesn't says in the E3)

Fable The Journey (with Kinect): the same as the last year. Ok, this year the "trailer" shows the ugly balverines.

Terrible E3.

[THEWULFMAN]

HAHA, Fusion. That's brilliant. I wouldn't say terrible, per se, but it is disappointing.



Ooh, a new trailer for Lara Croft came out a few days ago. Really like the premise of an origin story for her, pre-boob job.

Terrible E3.

So true. Nintendo sat on HUGE potential and dropped the ball. Ubi was the winner in my opinion. Grant it we still have the 3DS event tomorrow and that is Nintendo, but still. They started off strong with Pikmin 3 then showed us stuff we've already seen. Then NintendoLand sounds cool and I'm sure it'll be fun, but not what we wanted. I was hoping for a tease of F-zero or Star Fox or some tease.

I've been excited for the new Tomb Raider for quite some time.

[Fusion]

I was pretty happy with this though.

[Moving_Target]

Wow. That's pretty impressive. The NSMBU right?

[THEWULFMAN]

So yeah. The Last of Us looks pretty awesome.

Terrible E3.

Funny gif, but EA rocked E3 this year. They didn't fart around trying to build fluff. It was demo game, move on, demo game, move on, etc. Plus they revealed a new Need For Speed Most Wanted by Criterion. My life is complete.

*EDIT*
By the way, not sure which Mario Party that's from, but seeing the gif over and over all I can see now is how low poly the balls are.

[Moving_Target]

I think 1st or 3rd.

I love EA's structure of the presentations, but I was underwhelmed by their games. And no surprises. I want to be shocked and excited for new games even if it's a returning franchise.

It's Mario Party 2, this footage is from the video "Luigi Wins By Doing Absolutely Nothing," taking advantage of the game's flawed difficulty system.

People know how I feel about EA. Or if they don't, I agree with them being in that "Worst Company in America" competition.

This.

Unless EA came out and basically said "For 2013 we're revamping the company to be less evil!" I don't care much about what they do anymore. I've given them a lot of leeway over the years and I've been very forgiving, but 2011 was the year I decided I didn't like them, and 2012 is the year I decided I hated them. All I did was open my eyes really.



Oh, right. I just remembered this. Assassin's Creed III: Liberation. It's for the PS Vita and it looks great! About time we got a female assassin too. Shame I won't ever get my hands on the Vita. Looks great for a handheld though. Ah, 2012, I love you.

Totally off-topic, but if I ever actually do make an Xbox Live Indie Game it'll be a Mario Party clone. It'd be fairly simple to do and, if marketed well, can have a good following.
