E3 2012


Phantom Roxas

Recommended Posts

E3 officially begins tomorrow, so let's talk about our thoughts and predictions for the biggest gaming event of the year.

My thoughts:
• Nintendo will have an awesome conference.
• Sony will have a few things that I'll be interested in.
• Microsoft probably won't do anything to convince me to buy any kind of Xbox.
• I'd like to see more info on stuff like Final Fantasy Versus XIII and Overstrike.
• Nonspecific Action Figure confirmed for Super Smash Bros. 4.

I'm primarily watching Spike out of spite for G4 and because they actually had conferences, although I'm watching G4 now just for the Ubisoft and Sony conferences.

Does anyone else think that the Microsoft conference was bad? Admittedly, I like how they talked up their non-game stuff, but otherwise it was rather underwhelming? Same for EA. I was especially disappointed to not here about Overstrike.

Apparently the 3DS gets its own conference on Wednesday.

There were maybe 3 things I took out of Microsoft's Press Conference:[list]
[*]whatever that screensharing thing (because I forgot the name already) is screamed WiiU. I think we could possibly call it Microsoft's response. Only difference is that you need other devices outside the controllers to use, whereas the WiiU "tablet" is the controller.
[*]South Park game looked very cool
[*]That Splinter Cell game looked absolutely sick
[/list]
I don't recall anything interesting form EA EXCEPT:[list]
[*]The Old Republic will be going FREE TO PLAY
[*]Crysis looks good
[/list]
Madden looks like it got something interesting, but I don't really care about it. Usher made me want to facepalm.

Ubisoft can be summed up in two easy to understand points:[list]
[*]Assassin's Creed III
[*]Far Cry 3
[/list]
That's about it so far. Nintendo and Sony, I expect, will be very good, they always make me giddy, especially the past two years, my goodness can they put on a show.

Anyone know what games that Nintendo has up their sleeve or are they as close-lipped as usual?

I hate South Park, yet their game was the most interesting thing I saw during Microsoft's crapfest.

Sony was meh for me, only because I'm not familiar with their titles. That one game with the girl running from cops looks amazing though.


CAN'T WAIT FOR NINTENDO! :D

So... you guys said Sony was meh before they even showed off The Last of Us? How disappointing.

- the game from the Heavy Rain dev looked amazing, as it should
- the brawl-esque PS game looked fun, I like brawl, so I want to play it
- The Last of Us was f*cking incredible
- there were a few others I'm forgetting, uh, Assassin's Creed and Far Cry 3 were cool
- I don't care for God of War or that book thing.

Sony wasn't any more of an egofest than any of the other presentations.

Technically I didn't make my post until I was already watching The Last of Us, whatever the heck it was.

Except Sony outright called themselves the best in the business and claimed to have the most iconic characters.
[/quote]And? They have some of the most iconic characters today.

Plus Microsoft was no better and they're supposedly on the same level.

I only know of four iconic Sony characters.

Jak, Daxter, Ratchet, and Clank.

I have a history of hating Sony. From experience, every Sony customer that I've met is an elitist and claims their system is far superior to any of mine. Whatever, I'll take my Halo and ignore you.

Totally looking forwards to Crysis.

[/quote]Nathan Drake, Kratos, and Sackboy are all well known.

And the only reason any Sony customer would try to be an elitist would be because of how sick they are of Xbox customers being exceedingly snide about frankly everything. Take, for example, half the people that play CoD or Halo online. The "pros" use Xbox and will laugh at people that play multiplatforms on PS3. :\
