E3 2011 Thread

I'll admit, that trailer was pretty cool, but I still haven't seen much gameplay at all, so I can hardly judge it. Still, it looks like classic cheese-grade story that I would expect from an NG game in a good sort of way, so this has temporarily restored a slight amount of my faith that this might be a decent game. As it stands, though, I still need to see some real actual gameplay in the form of a demo to see how I really feel about this game, and there better be one since Hayashi promised a "playable" demo at E3.

The new villain looks pretty cool, BTW. I was hoping for a humanoid villain since they make the best boss fights in the 3D NG games (like Evil Clone Ryu from the 1st game and Genshin from the 2nd game).

I'm just going to watch the Nintendo E3.

Yawn. I will only peek at VC games. That's it.

1. Voice recognition. You can tell your characters to move and shoot. You can shoose dialogue options with your voice.

That's... actually pretty cool. Color me surprised.

A couple of camera angles made me think Dragon Age 2, and that's a bit scary to think about.

Oh... oh god...

2. there will not be a PC version for any reason other than it's Microsoft.

I figured as much. I'll still be getting it, of course, but that's kind of disappointing all the same. Gearbox did a great job with the port of the original (they added online multiplayer and mod support all on their own!).

While the announcement of Tomb Raider: Lara's Fortune is a bit disappointing, I don't really care that much. Of Eidos' five flagship series (the others being Legacy of Kain, Thief, Deus Ex, and Hitman), it was always the weakest, IMO. Deus Ex is better than ever, I have complete confidence in the team behind Thief 4 (it's the Human Revolution devs), and Hitman will probably continue down the path forged by Blood Money, so 3 out of 5 are in excellent shape. But we still need a new Soul Reaver (and a new Fear Effect, while they're at it) as soon as possible.

I don't want to give up on Lara but dammit, that was way too movie like.

I was watching it with a friend and we let out a very loud sigh when we saw the camera snap into the traditional Uncharted style.

So FPS game continue to be COD-lite, and TPS will ape Uncharted.

Oh well, here's hoping halo 4 is at least interesting. No Alan Wake anything sucks, though.

More importantly, no Battletoads sequel.

Thank god for Bulletstorm, Duke Nukem Forever, Serious Sam 3, F.E.A.R. 3, and Halo HD all in the same year.

Yeah, Microsoft basically blew this E3 big-time. Oh well, at least we all still have Nintendo's showing to look forward to, but I still don't own a Nintendo.

Oh BTW, apparently the CIA-chick talking to Ryu in that NG trailer is "supposed" to be Irene according to rumor (who I would assume anyone who has played any of the NES games would be familiar with). Just thought I'd share that little bit of tid-bit info for the hell of it. I have to admit, though, it'd actually be kind of cool to see the 3D NG games's interpretations of the original NES games.

[gunswordfist]

Skyrim actually looks interesting. The characters are still a bit too stiff but so far so good.

Liked the Arkham City gameplan. Catwoman being playable is a surprise my ass. Everyone already knew that. I wish the combat had less watching but that's of course asking for too much. Glad to see the best DC villain, Two-Face, in the game.

Fuck yeah, references to the NES games! Let's just hope that NG 3 doesn't have any birds knocking us off ledges.

the best DC villain, Two-Face

High-five! I love his voice in Arkham City. Is it the same one from TAS?

[/quote]Best thing I've heard you say since Garrus and Wrex are the best ME1 characters. 
I was actually listening closely to his voice and it sounded different. Maybe it's the same guy and it changed with age. Not sure. I do know they need to get the original Jim Gordon back (unless he died or something)

Also, do you have Spike? I have a shitty laptop so that's what I'm watching.

[gunswordfist]

I..want...Modern...Warfare..

[gunswordfist]

And Resistance 3.

[Spark Of Spirit]

Uh oh, they just confirmed in the Halo remake that you can toggle between the "original" and anniversary" graphics... I guess that means no fixed level design. Because the last quarter of the game fucking needs it.

Someone has to keep the genre alive.

Interesting stabs at evoking NG NES nostalgia. It will only effect me if I see some 2D gamplay though.

COMPLETE WITH DEMON BIRDS THAT GRAB YOU OFF LEDGES TO DROP YOU TO YOUR DEATH!

Mass Effect 3 looks like more of a shooter than RPG. Again.
