The Division looks pretty good.  Were those the developers playing, or was it some sort of beta access?

Meh. Same as the Rainbow Six stuff. So heavily scripted, I've never seen a single multiplayer game that was remotely like that. The reality is, everyone spawns, everyone runs around like crazy, someone starts shooting, everyone wants to have the first / best kills, etc. Multiplayer games just don't work like shown in the videos.

 

Are they multiplayer/co-op only?

Any interesting looking story driven titles announced that aren't part of an existing franchise?

I still can't get over how amazing that little snippet of Zelda looked.  The WiiU is obviously lacking in horsepower when compared to XBone and PS4, but Nintendo does a fantastic job of using art style to mask/overcome that.  I'm still a bit miffed that there was no Metroid announcement, though E3 isn't over yet, so you never know, but seeing a blurry screen behind Miyamoto with what was obviously a Starfox game running on it filled my heart with joy.

 

Also, Little Big Planet 3 looks pretty dang sweet.

"That's seemingly all been swept away in favour of a new multiplayer-focused tactical close combat game fought between terrorists and counter-terrorist units."

From PC Gamer

 

So Rainbow Six went and became Counter Strike. Yay.

Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L. Mencken

You say that like it wasn't before.

R6 was released a year before CS, but it was'nt a fastpaced multiplayer gunning game. It was slow and methodical and had a well developed single player campaign.

The similarities lie in counter terrorism and that they involve guns, and that's it.

Yeah, it makes my heart feel very heay when I see a game that has all the features I'd love to see in a new tactical / police singleplayer game... but is actually multiplayer. I just don't want to play this. Most of the time, such games are fun for me only temporary. That means, a day or two... and that's not really worth it.

So essentially the new Mass Effect is just concept art at this stage?

 

In the new Mass Effect - You play as Casey Hudson with your trustworthy wise-cracking side-kick Mac Walters.

 

 

:D

 

Hope there's a toggle to keep helmets on during dialogue!

 

Wonder where we are going to see Mark Meer and Jennifer Hale next. Both have incredible range, and Meer especially is often unrecognizable as himself.

Well they have similar guns, but that's about all. The MP was far slower than CS, after all.

...of which unfortunately her only usefulness was in two of the most infuriating missions in the whole game :p

 

Do kind of miss the intrigue of the older Rainbow Six games. Before you were re-taking oil rigs from eco-terrorists, securing nuclear materials stolen by the Mafiya, and foiling a bank-heist by far-right paramilitaries. 

 

By the way, I would recommend Raven Shield 2.0 for those feeling nostalgic for the franchise. Among the best additions of this mod was improved teammate AI and trigger discipline, which means your AI teammates aren't as likely to put the kaibosh on your most well-plotted plans.

“Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.”
 
-Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>>

"The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete."

If it doesn't feature a ballistic shield, I am not interested. :/
