I got all of the LBP games except Vita and, while it looked good, creating things just doesn't appeal to me. Uncharted 4 looks spectacular as expected. They had a good showing. The big three announcements? Not so much. Shenmue 3--I got one on Dreamcast and two on Xbox. Great games in their day but who actually played them? Who they sold like poop. Who fondly remembers driving a forklift or collecting toys? And they didn't even show the game. They just showed an old guy saying that he would begin to take up donations so he could begin to start on the game! WTF? A legendary game, don't get me wrong but be honest. The same with The Last Guardian. I bought Ico and eventually played Shadow of the Colossus. Good games but, again, they never set the world on fire. The game was considered vaporware at this point. The gameplay they showed was nothing incredible but finding out a game that we heard about and thoujght we'd be playing a year ago is finally going to come out in...2017, maybe? That is a "Megaton?" Final Fantasy VII remake? That's awesome. I can't deny that. Again, we saw nothing in terms of actual gameplay. Just another promise of something far off in the distant future. Still, that equals Sony won E3. I just don't feel the same way. Meanwhile, Microsoft (which is more than just Xbox, btw), showed us -Backwards compatibility and said some of us can test it out RIGHT NOW (and I have tried it). -Showed Gears of War remaster and said some us us could play it RIGHT NOW (and I tried it). -Showed Tomb Raider and said we would play it before the end of the year -Showed Halo 5 and said we would play it before the end of the year -Showed Forza 5 -Had a person come out with a fucking holgram from Star Wars and play MInecraft with it -Announced a new controller -Showed footage from Gears of War 4 And somehow, they lost? I imagine that if M$ had come out and showed some game that we thought was cancelled (I can't think of an example), had some old Asian guy come out and say give me money and I might make Chrono Trigger 3, and announced that they were going to eventually remake Jade Empire, they would have won E3 without having to provide anything but words and maybe a cgi trailer. We gamers are so easily manipulated. These were all just opinions, btw. Just my perspective on things. |
Wow so much arrogance in this post. Amazing.
Gears Of War: Ultimate Edition as you said is a remaster. If remasters are so amazing, Sony should esaily win this gen.
Backwards compatibility is decent but too little too late coming two years after XB1 release. There are enough current-gen games to keep anyone's interest. Also its very limited.
Hololens is cool but you have no idea what it would cost.
Gears Of War 4 footage was okay, nothing special. Its still my most anticipated XB1 game due to Gears Of War 1-3 but on its own it was a meh presentation.
Forza 6 is gonna be good, we know that, but its gonna be very similar to Forza 5 in most ways in terms of gameplay. Its not much of an evolution just what Forza 5 should have been.
Don't want to spend $150 on a fucking controller.
Sony showed:
Horizon: Zero Dawn was amazing and easily one of the best agmes shown at E3. That alone puts most of Microsoft's games to rest.
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End footage was great.
Like you I don't care about Shenmue III so it was meh.
I also don't care about FF VII R so it was meh.
The Last Guardian is intreresting to those who liked Ico and I am one of them. Its definitely interesting. Wh told you that its coming in 2017? Sony said its coming in 2016.
Dreams was meh.
RIGS could be good but I'll wait to see how it turns out.
As someone who doesn't give a shit about Shenmue III or FF VII R I think Sony won E3.
