E3 2012

[Hailey Knight]

This is just getting started and is already looking like a pile of ass. I knew this was going to be a disappointing year for games and my wallet is thankful for it, but it is kind of sad. I'm running out of older games I missed during college.

Feel free to share videos and tidbits and ranting; we can pile it all together.

My share: Remember how the WiiU is going to have that terrible screen on the controller gimmick? Microsoft was feeling left out, so we're getting a second screen for them too. Bad call, guys.

Apparently my old college buddy works for some gaming website and is out there covering it. I'll link whenever I realize it is that he's exactly doing (I'm just getting some second-hand comments from his status updates on FB)

New IP from Ubisoft called 'Watch Dogs'. I quite like the idea, the demo looked pretty fun. Heavy Rain-esque, but I'm not complaining.

I enjoyed the Tomb Raider demo, missed most of it though. I'm glad that they pushed back the release date since graphically...I'm not that impressed with it. This game looks so much more brutal than any other Tomb Raider I've seen, but am still excited for it!

Also, I'm actually quite pleased that there was no next gen announcement from Microsoft.

 

[Dei]

I kind of want multiplayer SimCity >.> (/ashamed)

 

[CynicismKills]

It's the usual crap that E3 lets them shovel out. HEY HERE'S THE HYPE MACHINE GUYS LOOK IT'S USHER AND SCREENS IN YOUR LAP FOR ALL also here's 4 minutes of Halo 4 and a small preview of the South Park game, something you jerks actually wanted NOW BACK TO THE KINECT.

 

[Cheesy1]

"And look how much fun our paid actors are having with it, too! YOU NEED THIS!"

Checking all the daily trailers / news​

​

Ice Planet 3 - Reminds me so much of Dead Space. Looks decent enough. Console though so meh.​

X-COM - The fuck is this shit? Good lord.​

Sleeping Dogs - I LIKE IT! Definitely on my radar now.​

Hybrid - Sucks.​

Theatrhythm Final Fantasy -​

Resident Evil 6 - Interesting. Please don't fucking suck like RE 5.​

FarCry 3 - Don't care.​

Devil May Cry - Really don't care.​

Halo 4 - Don't care at all.​

South Park RPG - I LOVE IT! I lost it when he said "Jews can't be saviors".​

War of the Roses - Reminds me of the MP part of Mount & Blade. Seems interesting but I didn't like the rock song... so I think it'll be mostly death match bullshit.​

The Last of Us - FUCK YES.... TAKE MY MONEY. I'd pay double for PC!​

​

The Last of Us, Sleeping Dogs, South Park RPG are on the radar. Mild interest in War of the Roses and Resident Evil 6... maybe.​

 

[Hailey Knight]

The Last of Us and Resident Evil 6.

X-Com had me at one point, but it sounds like they're fucking it up, so meh. You don't start making a sequel when you haven't finished the first damn game.

EDIT: I should be more specific. Right now they seem to be trying to make it more like the other X-Com game fiction with new game mechanics. I liked the whole 1950s paranormal investigator route they were going before. So meh.

 

[CynicismKills]

Watch Dogs looks like a lot of fun, depending on what all you end up being able to do with that hacking device. Halo 4 looks like Halo, but I enjoyed 3 so we'll see I suppose. South Park could be awesome, I'd like to see more of the gameplay and such.

 

[Overflight]

I think you must be confused, Quotemander: they haven't released media related to the XCOM FPS for a while now (it was delayed for next year). Most of the media they are showing now is a new X-COM turned based strategy game closer to the original games. Is that what you are referring to?

 

[Jay]

Out of all those games, the only one I'm sure of getting is "The Last of Us".

 

[CynicismKills]

Is the newest Last of Us trailer the truck ambush? Only thing I can seem to find outside the trailer from last year with them in that old house.

I must be confused then. Thanks.

I almost wonder if they abandoned the other one.

 

[Jay]

Watch Dogs :

 

[Overflight]

Yeah, honestly I wouldn't be surprised if the XCOM FPS was cancelled, or at least had all references to XCOM removed.

Jay: HOLY SHIT.

 

[Hailey Knight]

I wouldn't mind that; I just think it'd be cool to be investigating all these suburbs and urban areas where weird, alien stuff has happened.

 

[Jay]

Jay: HOLY SHIT.

Fuck yea son.

An' where's my post feedback? I don't do this community service for free. Yo.

 

[Jay]

Wow, EA. Seriously?

"DLC is good?"

 

[SeraRelm]

Been yelling at people to want to get Sleeping Dogs (True Crime Hong Kong done right) and The Last of Us (28 Days Legend) for awhile now.

 

[Hailey Knight]

Wow, EA. Seriously?

"DLC is good?"

For them.

If someone where to say to me, "Frank, Ubisoft will be the company whose games you most look forward to." I would have called you not only a liar but a fucking moron too. I don't know if it's a testament to how shitty everyone else's E3 offerings were or to how much Ubi may have improved but Watch_Dogs looks like it may be the coolest fucking game ever made. That was an incredible showing.

EA's was awful. What a bunch of trash.

 

[Jay]

Makers of Heavy Rain?

Isn't that the Juno girl?

 

[Jay]

You're welcome.

Yeeeeesh...

 

[CynicismKills]

My God, I think Last of Us is number one for me right now. Will have to see what else has/will be shown, but damn.

 

[Jay]

This part made me laugh hard.

Spoiler

 

[Frank]

How in God's name did they expect that to go over well?

Did you like buying this game? Do you want to buy it some more? Guuuuuns!

 

[Reverent-one]

What I am looking forward to the most so far this year? No question...


The results of the War for Cybertron crew sitting around and asking "How can we make it better"? Yes please.

 

[@Li3n]

What i want to know is if they announced the Wii U specs... 2GB of RAM min pls, pretty pls with cherries on top...

Seriously, RAM is dirt cheap right now and i don't mind the graphics being behind the curve because of consoles, just makes me able to use my original video card longer, but the lack of processing power leads to really annoying consolitis stuff...

 

[Frank]

All signs point to it being comparable to the 360 power wise. It may be higher or lower depending on different leaks from different developers.

Unless they have a time machine they use to get very old hardware i doubt that...

At this point in time i don't think i could even buy a 300$ PC that's weaker then the 360 (assuming all relevant parts)...

Teh graphics not being all that much more of a jump is another thing, and i'm positive that Sony and MS's next gen won't have as much of a graphics jump as previous gens did either...

 

[ElJuski]

I want to see how The Last Of Us REALLY plays. But it looks pretty sweet.

 

[Krisken]

Any news on Guild Wars 2?
