The official E3 2012 thread


Recommended Posts

Adter watching Star Wars 1313, Beyond Two Souls and Watch Dogs, I seriously wonder how those coding wizards still manage to cram so much detail and scope into mere 512MB RAM. Granted, two out of three were probably PC footage

Guess no PC version for Beyond Two Souls, again. Had Waited for Heavy Rain to be ported to PC in vein. :(

Watchdogs - I hate Ubisoft, but that is a really, really impressive pitch trailer. Apart from Dishonoured I haven't seen a marketing pitch this good from a game for years. Certainly nothing 'original' in terms of fears, concepts, and the real life trends they identify, but immediately feels both fresh and also like something that fits like a glove into our times.

 

Oh, and teh gameplay looks good too. Art/graphics has its ups and downs, but they really are making good headway on 'lively city' stuff now. Pity they still have the 'cutscene knockdown', and Follow The Quest Marker seems strong, too. Will depend on how they balance nonlinearity with scripted 'OH SNAP's.

Since I was busy yesterday (... watching the first season of Nikita... I'm halfway through and I can't decide which I like watching more, Maggie Q or Lyndsy Fonseca), did anything interesting actually happen? Infinity engine mentioned? :p

 

Also, EA/Bioware was a bit more "lower your shields and prepare to be assimilated". Interesting we have 2 rushed games to give the conspiracy cartoonists fodder for the other theory.

You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

Personally, I keep an eye on this mainly because I'm wondering if I can find something interesting in the apparent merge of games and movie industry. Of course, most of them are action-packed ones with obvious Hollywood influences but there can be some exceptions. At least, it is not necessarily a bad thing if actors take video games serious enough to maximize their performances.

It's mostly been Morgoth fapping over the latest newly announced interactive movies.

 

Also, I thought you meant La femme Nikita, googled and facepalmed.

Beyond is a PS3 exclusive so their using the Cell as much as they can to kick you in the teeth. Watchdog seems like it's a wee bit to ambitious for it's own good.

 

1313 won't get anything from me until I see it in semi-working order. Seeing a trio of 30 second bits isn't gonna drag me in (after all, almost exactly that got us TFU)

The Infinity Engine was mentioned, wasn't it?

I think one of the new sports sims uses an 'infinity' engine.

Considering it's the millionth spin-off, it's surprisingly good. In fact, along with Fringe, it's the only us network show I have any interest in now that Chuck's over.

 

But yes, that ubisoft thing looks interesting, but everything else... not much going on. I expected to be deluged by info from the mainstream press, but even that's pretty quickly seen.

It just gets better too (and moves at an incredible pace). After season 2 it's my favourite action based series of all time.

 

Have lots of fun.

That Watchdogs demo was pretty cool.

The Last of Us "gameplay" was kinda disappointing, because, there was hardly any gameplay there.

 

More gameplay than in SW1313.

Uhm...nope? They didn't even fully reveal SW1313 yet. That was just a tidbit what they showed (cutscene stuff).

 

But as for TLOU, that was all one staged cutscene, sold as "gameplay". Difference.

That LEGO game does look like fun.

Zombiu, Rayman, and Ubisoft all <3 WiiU apparently.

 

And the Just Dance WiiU connection looks like you can just MURDER your friends if you have them.

Pikmin 3 and ZombieU are the only presented games I'm taking a closer look at (also a few of the shortly shown games). Other than that the 3DS confrence tomorrow seems to be more interesting. Disappointed.

 

Though overall it was better presented and more enjoyable than Sony and Microsoft.

Watchdogs looks like the only game that's intriguing to me. The other either don't appeal to me, or they're PS3 exclusive (which I don't own).
