E3 2011 Discussion

[Kingpin32]

See as E3 is nearing upon us, I was wondering what big games people here are looking forward to.

Me personally, I'm hoping for an inkling of news on FFvsXIII and ME 3. I usually try to watch all of the pressers too from the Big 3.

Diablo 3 and Battlefield 3 are definitely close 2nd and 3rd behind RAGE and probably more news about Doom 4/Quake 5 as well as more information about Deus Ex: Human Revolution (though there is a leaked reviewer copy of it out on the internet that I'm debating on whether or not I should play it or just wait and play the real game instead...)

[cdj]

The first post in the thread has been updated with press conference schedules, how/where to view them, and games announced to be featured by each company.

Konami will be holding a pre-E3 press conference tomorrow evening.

[morsdraconis]

I never actually watch any of the press conferences or anything. Those are incredibly boring. I just watch all the snippet videos of everything I'm interested in after the fact (and watch the Totally Rad Show's coverage of it).

[Kingpin32]

Deus Ex: Human Revolution:

I really want to play that too. I never played the first one, so I'm sure my laptop now can handle it, might have to look into getting it.

I love the press conferences. I went to the Nintendo and Sony conferences last year. At the Sony event, we got to see all the 3D demos in 3D. I know on tv, they could only show the 2D videos.

The some of the cinematics reminds me of a cross between Blade Runner and Robo-cop with a sprinkle of The Matrix.

[morsdraconis]

The some of the cinematics reminds me of a cross between Blade Runner and Robo-cop with a sprinkle of The Matrix.

It's more like a mixture of Shadowrun (not the horrible FPS that came out a while back, but the pen and paper RPG) and Metal Gear/Splinter Cell (gameplay/government wise as it's a lot of sneaking around and infiltration and stuff with a lot of covert ops stuff and who did what type of stuff going on).

It definitely has a Blade Runner feel to it as well though. I'm excited for it.

WOW Tomb Raider looks nice.

[JBHuskers]

FIFA, Madden, Tiger, and an unnamed game will have Kinect support in 2012....

"cute" that Peter Moore referenced the South Park episode... though not sure everyone in the audience quickly put it together.

Nope, Mass Effect

[gschwendt]

Not mentioned... I highly doubt the unnamed title would be NCAA. Probably one of the titles that are still left to be announced (that were rumored previously).

[JBHuskers]

I really don't care about voice commands in Mass Effect 3 with the Kinect, I'd rather just point at the option and use the controller.

[JBHuskers]

Future Soldier looks pretty decent, but I don't give two shits about the Kinect.

[JBHuskers]

I admit that the gun creation is pretty sweet on Future Solider....

Damn, the Gunsmith and Kinect support on Ghost Recon looks pretty sweet.

[gschwendt]

With the voice command stuff... I really don't know why anyone would ever WANT to use that.

[SmoothPancakes]

Youtube coming to Xbox Live.

And Bing.

[JBHuskers]

XBOX Bing is handy to find what you want....

[DariusLock]

XBox just now getting YouTube?

[SmoothPancakes]

Damn, looking forward to the Fall update now on Xbox.

[JBHuskers]

The UFC XBOX Live stuff looks pretty sweet.....counts how many knockouts you've watched? NICE!

[SmoothPancakes]

Gears of War 3 on now.

[JBHuskers]

Gears 3 looks EPIC #nopunintended

[I OU a Beatn]

Yeah, Live just got that much better. The Ghost Recon Kinect demo was very impressive, too. Gears 3 looks stunning, but that's hardly a surprise.

[SmoothPancakes]

Halo: Combat Evolved remake up right now.

[SmoothPancakes]

I'm going to go broke in November with all of the games coming out that month. :fp:

That's what I don't understand... why would I want a watered down version of a game that requires me to be more active in order to play it? IMO it's lose/lose. Until they give these consoles mind reading capabilities, I think I'll always want some sort of controller in my hand.

[psuexv]

Major lag and delay... just not the Jedi experience

[SmoothPancakes]

Yeah, that new Fable doesn't even look remotely interesting to me, and I've played the hell out of Fable II and III.

[SmoothPancakes]

Yeah, the lag and delay look horrible. And way too cartoony characters for me.

[JBHuskers]

Yeah it does.

That's because it was probably pre-recorded LOL you see how slow that robot was to respond to turning around? :D

[JBHuskers]

"do it like this daddy" :smh:

[psuexv]

Well my issues with Kinect are showing themselves, especially in the Star Wars demo..... the reason people play games is because they can't do this stuff in real life and aren't good enough to do this stuff in real life. With a controller based Star Wars game I can be bad ass... with Kinect I'm a lame fat ass swatting at flies.

[SmoothPancakes]

MS is definitely pushing Kinect hardcore this year.

[JBHuskers]

Photo Game Face for your avatar LOL hell my current avatar looks close enough to me...white guy with a goatee, Husker shirt & hat.

MS is definitely pushing Kinect hardcore this year.

And Nintendo is going to clean up because of it. MS is 2 years behind the game on this shit.

C'mon that dude was already created that wasn't scanned live....SMH

[JBHuskers]

People rushing out to XBL now to create a naked avatar....

[xMrHitStickx904]

gears looks great, Ghost Recon looks dope and so does Halo. The new dashboard for the fall is nice as well. XBL really stepped it up again.

[JBHuskers]

Did anyone notice when she changed her clubs it selected it before she said ready #prerecorded

[I OU a Beatn]

I fully expect them to announce Halo 4 at the end of the show. Rumors say it's a much darker, grittier version of Halo, too. If they do, Sony and Nintendo are going to have an awfully hard time topping Microsoft this year.

To me it's not been that impressive. 3rd party titles and TOO MUCH KINECT.

Yeah, that was definitely prerecorded.

[SmoothPancakes]

To me it's not been that impressive. 3rd party titles and TOO MUCH KINECT.

Yeah. Pretty much this entire presser has been nothing but Kinect. Still some great looking games, excited for GoW3 and a couple others, but this is one giant Kinect show.

[SmoothPancakes]

Here's Halo 4.

[Flav]

Halo 4, I want it. I want it so bad.

[JBHuskers]

Pretty impressed with Halo 4 trailer....didn't Chief die prior?

[DariusLock]

A bunch of Halo fans creaming their pants.

[DariusLock]

Overall I think Xbox's Conference wasn't that good. Way too much Kinect stuff, you need to make the games more interesting and make people wanna use Kinect. The only thing I can see myself using it is with Forza or getting kids games for my little girl.

[I OU a Beatn]

To me it's not been that impressive. 3rd party titles and TOO MUCH KINECT.

Yeah, they're was too much garbage, but still..

With the updates to Live, Gears 3, Forza 4, Halo HD, Halo 4, etc...I think they did really well. Like I said, the earlier the Kinect/Move garbage dies, the better of the customers will be.

I don't really expect Sony's to be all that jaw dropping as they've pretty much revealed everything and they're going to focus heavily on Move and NGP, and Nintendo's I have absolutely zero interest in.

[SmoothPancakes]

It was a good show. Some great games, some awesome videos, that trailer for Halo 4 looked sweet, I now know I'm going broke in November, and I can't wait for the Fall update on 360. But WAAAAY too much Kinect crap. Like I said above, this was basically a giant Kinect show.

[JBHuskers]

So was Chief killed, frozen, and now brought back to life?

[I OU a Beatn]

He never died, he was put on ice to sleep basically. :D

[SmoothPancakes]

And an hour and a half until EA hits the stage.

I'm also looking forward to Ubisoft just because I want to see what they have regarding Assassin's Creed: Revelations and maybe an announcement on Assassin's Creed III.

[JBHuskers]

He never died, he was put on ice to sleep basically. :D

Ahhhh Reach is the only title I have so I don't know the backstory. I was thinking he died for some reason.

[gschwendt]

Bioshock: Infinite sounding good... wasn't a big fan of Bioshock 2 but with Ken Levine back in the director's chair, I think it will be good.

[JBHuskers]

I just have a feeling that Nintendo wins E3 just with the console announcement alone....

[JBHuskers]

Oh I want Skyrim!

[JBHuskers]

I like Fallout in first person, but Elder Scrolls I prefer third person....

[JBHuskers]

Arkham City is looking pretty damn sweet.

[SmoothPancakes]

For people interested Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, it looks like it will be between $40 and $50. The interview they just had on Spike, it's definitely going to be something less than $60. I'm thinking either $40 or $45.

Anyone else think MW3 looks terrible? :D

[JBHuskers]

Looks more of the same.....I'll play the campaign, but barely any online.

[SmoothPancakes]

Oh hell, I already stopped playing online for all CoDs. I haven't touched online in a CoD game since last August in MW2, when the douchebags who camp in a random corner and do nothing but noobtube you from halfway across the map finally got so damn annoying to the point I have quit multiplayer. I play these games now for the storyline and the achievements. I do dick around now and then in Combat Training on Black Ops with a couple friends against veteran AI, just to have some fun without the douchebags, as well as playing some Spec Ops in MW2 and zombies in Black Ops with friends, but that's it. Regular multi, I'm done with it.

[DariusLock]

I'm definately going with Battlefield 3. MW3 and COD in general keep just milking what they have, they won't step it up and do something new until they are in danger of losing customers to another game. I think BF3 is that game...looks like it's next up on E3.

[Kwizzy]

The problem I have with the direction Modern Warfare has taken is that they got away from the realism of the first MW in their story. That game was so refreshing because it felt almost like it really could happen. I didnt play black ops at all because MW2 ended with me chasing down a helicopter in a rubber zodiac for christ's sakes! That's just one example but you get what I mean.

[cdj]

PastaPadre is reporting that some EA SPORTS titles (Madden, FIFA, Tiger Woods) will be adding Kinect support. (http://www.pastapadre.com/2011/06/06/ea-sports-titles-adding-kinect-support)

Curious to see how they handle that. The Playstation Cloud Storage is extremely basic... I'd love the ability to have an auto-sync for particular titles, "protect" certain saves in the cloud, versioning, etc.

[oweb26]

Anyone else think MW3 looks terrible? :D

All I see when I see trailers is a camp fest, and douchbagger all around. It looks just like the other ones just in a new setting

[JBHuskers]

Like what I see so far on Need For Speed: The Run.

[gschwendt]

NFS: The Run certainly looks interesting. I like more story-driven racers so this could end up being good.

[souljahbill]

I'm watching the Microsoft presser now. Who is going to play 40 hours of this Fable game?

Also, no way would I want to read the script for Mass Effect 3 and constantly yell, "Liara, Singularity." "Miranda, Warp"

We need to get a group together and do co-op in Battlefield.

[morsdraconis]

BF3 will be the best game of the year. No doubt about it.

NFS The Run looked pretty damn cool too.

Overstrike and Reckoning also look very interesting.

I'm surprised. I was expecting to not be interested in anything from the EA presentation besides BF3, but they actually have a couple of interesting things happening outside of their big franchises. Disappointed there wasn't anything from RAGE though.

[morsdraconis]

We need to get a group together and do co-op in Battlefield.

Fuck coop. People need to all play together online. Playing with a bunch of people you know makes BF AMAZINGLY fun.

[I OU a Beatn]

BF3 looked an awful like Bad Company 2, which simply isn't good enough if they plan on overtaking MW3. I'll still buy it for sure, though. I definitely don't agree with it being the best of the year, so I guess we'll have to wait and see there.

[SmoothPancakes]

I'll have to see what multi will be like in BF3. It may actually be the game that gets me to play multiplayer again if MP is good on it.

[JBHuskers]

If Battlelog is as cool as Autolog, that will definitely help make Battlefield 3.

Boy, this live demo of Madden on the Ustream is not doing Madden any favors... Long ball against double coverage and it was a very easy TD (on 3rd and long). The game looks exactly the same... They better make franchise mode amazing or they are going to have some SERIOUS backlash.

[SmoothPancakes]

Ugh, I hate all this constant jumping around crap in these promo videos. Just give a simple, straight forward video. :fp:

[SmoothPancakes]

And Madden just froze up and crashed. Definitely not doing Madden any favors right now.

[DariusLock]

Haha Madden crashed.

[SmoothPancakes]

:smh: Superstar mode just became worthless for me. According to Frazier, you're instantly made the starter at your position once you get done creating your player. What's the fun in that?

:smh:

Superstar is completely worthless. These guys have no fuckin' clue how to make a good football game. Again, Franchise Mode better be absolutely amazing (but it won't be because of how they handle the draft and having predetermined player pools).

[JBHuskers]

And Madden just froze up and crashed. Definitely not doing Madden any favors right now.

It's typical for alpha and beta builds to crash on dev kits.

[SmoothPancakes]

It's typical for alpha and beta builds to crash on dev kits.

That's true, but if you're just a casual gaming fan who may be looking at getting Madden for the first time, seeing it crash like that isn't going to look good to that person. I'm just saying, in general, having it crash like that while they're playing it and talking about it live, it just in general doesn't look good.

But in the mean time, only 15 minutes more until Ubisoft's presser. I'm hoping to see a lot of Assassin's Creed news, between Revelations and maybe, maybe a mention of AC III.

[I OU a Beatn]

Sony's conference better blow my mind tonight, or I'm going to be pissed. It's okay for Microsoft to have an okay conference, but with the garbage that Sony has dealt out this year(terrible versions of Killzone and SOCOM, PSN being down for a month, etc...) they better aim to impress. $50 says they spend 90% of their time on the Move and NGP. :(

I need to start playing that series :D

:D Yes, yes you do. It's a lot of fun. I still need to finish off Brotherhood, and still get more into multiplayer in Brotherhood. I played a couple of multi matches in it, and it's a lot of fun.

Breaking news! Sony's E3 press conference has been canceled due to their presentation being hacked.

;)

[JBHuskers]

Just to clarify the Kinect functionality for the EA titles won't be until 2012, not on the 12 titles.

[souljahbill]

Yes, you do. I'm probably the only one here who will recommend playing the original. A lot of people found it boring and repetitive but I didn't think it was as bad as people make it out to be. Anyway, if you intend to play it, you HAVE to play the original first because each sequel gets SO much better that it'll be hard to go back (just like Uncharted 2 makes Uncharted 1, a good game, look bad).

Oh, you're not the only one. Yes, I can understand people finding AC1 very boring and repetitive, but I loved it, and made sure I played AC1 first before AC2 for the story. If anything, I recommend playing the first game first, solely for the story.

When did Jessica Chobot leave IGN and join G4? Is it after Olivia Munn left? I know Chobot always considered Munn a swagger-jacker.

I might have been on to something. :D Sony over 9 minutes late.

I'm almost wondering if the pre-coverage footage of someone standing out like a news reporter isn't actually what Sony intended to start at 8ET and then at 8:30 it will kick off the actual press conference.

[JBHuskers]

Jack leading off the Sony conference by talking about the outage, good to address it and not sweep it under the rug.

Ya, I liked what he said. A very smart move to address it right from the get-go.

Is it me or is Drake running awkwardly in this demo?

Resistance 3 looks dark and gritty like the first one....

[gschwendt]

For someone that wants Move & Resistance 3, that bundle for $150 isn't a bad deal at all.

[JBHuskers]

The 24" 3-D Playstation Monitor is a nice piece of hardware....WOW

[JBHuskers]

24" Monitor, HDMI Cable, 3D Glasses, and Resistance 3 for $499....not a horrible price

[gschwendt]

So when will we get PS Move passing in NCAA Football :)

[JBHuskers]

NBA 2K on the Move isn't getting high remarks....doesn't look too impressive.

[SmoothPancakes]

Ugh, this is turning into MS' presser. Talking about games with Move over and over, with 3D thrown in.

[JBHuskers]

medieval moves looks pretty promising

[JBHuskers]

Liking the looks of Bioshock Infinite!

[gschwendt]

PS Move on Bioshock Infinite might give me reason to pick up a Move... just so long as it's not on rails and I'd be ready to jump on it.

I find FPSs easier for me to play on the Wii because of the pointing and shooting of the Wii remote, plus I can still move my character via nunchuck. I'm sure Move will work exactly the same so I say it's going to be fine.

Wow. They have a full on party system and cross game chat on the Vita and not PS3? Wow.

[gschwendt]

They're doing themselves a disservice to announce cross-game chat on PSVita but it not being on PS3.

[SmoothPancakes]

PSVita? Sounds like something I ate for lunch last week.

[I OU a Beatn]

Exactly. When I saw that, I was literally speechless. That was a really dumb move.

Anyway, Vita looks awesome. I'm definitely getting that day one with the dual sticks and full network implementation. Uncharted: Golden Abyss looks awesome.

I thought the same....LOL at crowd reaction when AT&T announced as Vita partner.

Knew once Kaz said "fastest network", he was going to say AT&T and the crowd give that reaction. AT&T is good in a lot of areas but really poor in areas that have really tall buildings (ie NYC & LA).

[I OU a Beatn]

Ruins looks amazing, too. This Vita thing is going to be awesome.

The problem with the PSP was it was very uncomfortable. Vita doesn't look like it will be that much more comfortable.

Holy shit...you can save to the cloud and resume on the PS3.....#stunned

Yeah, I was laughing as soon as he said AT&T and half the crowd starting booing and the other half started laughing.

[I OU a Beatn]

Wow, that's awesome. Play Ruin on your Vita, save it, pop in your PS3 and play it on that from the spot you left when playing the Vita. That. Is. Awesome.

[I OU a Beatn]

PS Vita 249 wifi 3g for 299.... official price.

Where did you get that from? That's an INCREDIBLE price. I was expecting at least $100 more for each version.

So is there a monthly charge then with AT&T? There's gotta be a catch we don't know yet.

[I OU a Beatn]

There wouldn't be a monthly fee for the non 3G version, right? I was under the assumption you could just use your own home network for online play.

[souljahbill]

Vita was probably designed with cross game chat in mind from the beginning. It's probably harder then we think it is to do it on the PS3.

No... I'm betting the PS3 will get it at the same time as Vita, they just didn't mention it so the Vita can keep the spotlight for the night.

[JBHuskers]

The track creation tool for Mod Nation Racers (Vita) is pretty sweet....

[JBHuskers]

Cole in Street Fighter X Tekken is pretty cool....

Yeah, if they would give more mouse capabilities for designing games like that, you could easily achieve the same thing on PS3 and then just sell an official PS wireless mouse.

[I OU a Beatn]

80 titles in development for the Vita. HOLY. CRAP.

[souljahbill]

No... I'm betting the PS3 will get it at the same time as Vita, they just didn't mention it so the Vita can keep the spotlight for the night.

Even if it does come at the same time, I'm sure it was still more work then we realize to implement it, otherwise, they would have done it ages ago unless they were saving it for PS+ subscribers. With Vita, I'm sure when they designed it, they had this functionality in mind from the beginning.

Would be sweet if it had a USB capability to use a mouse.

It does... don't remember what game used it (Unreal Tournament 3 I think) but you could use a mouse/keyboard I'm fairly sure but it's completely up to developers to include capability for. If Sony made a push for it, it could be an awesome inclusion.

[Boucher]

Love me some vita pita

[gschwendt]

Gotta say that GameTrailers handled today exceptionally well... between Spike and their web feed, they covered everything really well. Especially impressed with their web feed in that I never had too much of a stutter, never had really any issues.

[baseballplyrmvp]

so i'm watching the highlights from today on g4 right now, and they're showing the tomb raider trailer......and as lara croft is running through this tunnel, it sounds like she's having an orgasm.

lol even the g4 people are making fun of the way she sounded during it.

Wii U is the name of the new system.

[JBHuskers]

Well Wii U is interesting, and something completely unexpected. Not sure what I totally think about it yet.

[gschwendt]

So is it just the Wii with a new controller? The controllers are going to be too expensive for it to succeed.

I guess it is just the controller.

[gschwendt]

You can't show a bird flying through a nondescript place... you've got to show Call of Duty:MW3 or something else. To me, this doesn't tell me that the WiiU is all that more powerful than the Wii.

[JBHuskers]

Expectations were it was going to be a new system. Which is why I think this is not really flying with praise at this time.

[JBHuskers]

Okay they keep calling it a new console....with a new controller, I'm f'n confused.

[gschwendt]

It's a new physical console... probably has updated hardware but still not even sure if it will be up to the PS3/360 which is a big failure IMO.

[JBHuskers]

up until the 3rd party bigwigs talking I thought it was just a controller, now I'm not sure....

[gschwendt]

Maybe I'm being a fanboy but these videos appear to be the same quality as PSVita. Ninja Gaiden was the only one that looked comparable to big-boy consoles.

Nintendo did a bad job conveying that.

[JBHuskers]

Too early in development for the graphics to be fully optimized, there were some games that did look like they were in HD and looked nice.....

[gschwendt]

The playcalling on your controller for Madden is the only cool aspect I've heard so far on the new controller. But I'm not willing to pay $100 for that benefit which I guarantee is the neighborhood for the controller itself.

[gschwendt]

The controller tech is cool and their stage display is REALLY cool but otherwise I was less than impressed.

[gschwendt]

How freaking awkward would it be to stand tethered to a person standing in front of you while you're testing out a 3DS?

Wii U controller....

http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s159/jbennett98/wiiucontroller.jpg

[gschwendt]

GameTrailers guys made a great point... if the WiiU controller stuff legitimately takes off, I imagine the PSVita could integrate to your PS3 the same way. Obviously then it's a $250 controller but if devs are building it for one console, they could put it into the other console for minimal cost.

[cdj]

More on WiiU (http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/07/the-wiiu-nintendos-next-console/).....I thought the PC was terrible in explaining it, but this article helps.

Watching the Mortal Kombat director talking about a new character for DLC and as part of her fatalities, she gets bukakeed in blood.

[gschwendt]

Michael Pachter on GTTV suggesting that we should eventually see some of the WiiU controller stuff on a cell phone in the future... so basically for an NCAA/Madden reference, play calling on your cellphone.

Yes please.

[Boucher]

Was i the only one that thought the Wii U controller was just an add on for the WII?

[oweb26]

Starhawk looked really interesting.
