all shite if you ask me. the whole conference... bereft of anything remotely interesting for 2012, why we all get excited about things coming in 2013, 2014 is beyond me, half will change beyond all recognisiton or actually never see the light of day Still I'm happy with the multiplats that are coming and that I can play Forza Horizon and Halo 4 this year and then look forward to Nextbox 2013. Feel sorry for Wii owners, its a disgrace the way nitnendo have dropped that and Sony seem intent on announcing at least 1 year ahead as always, not sure why that categorises them as winning anything or being ahead... they also took a dump on some of their "fans" by having a truly awful Vita showing. |
I can see why people think they were all rubbish. I just really liked a bunch of Ubi stuff. They were at every conference and had by far the best "reveal", with Watch-Dogs.
Assassin's Creed 3/ Vita. Rayman Legends. Splinter Cell. FarCry 3. Shootmania. Watch_Dogs. Just Dance 4. ZombiU. They had a whole lot on show.
Nintendo showed some huge games, but neglected 3DS and didn't show anything to be excited for beyond 2012. Reggie was boring and it ended really, really badly.
Sony blew the load before the show, as usual... Ignored Vita. They had the Beyond reveal, that nobody knew about and they spent too long on the Wonderbook. The Last Of Us gameplay really saved this for me.
Microsoft spent way too much time on shit I don't care about. Too many media apps, too much Kinect (Nike fitness game?)... Not enough games. Like Sony, blew the surprise before the show (Gears). RE6 was disappointing and the big "surprise" for the show was Blops 2 gameplay. Halo and Forza both look brilliant though. Don Mattrick was also present. This isn't s good thing.
My main gripe with every show was the lack of surprises. I wanted to think to myself "Wow, didn't expect that". The only game to truly surprise me was Watch_Dogs.
