Forums - Gaming - E3 had nothing but garbage for me this year.

I agree on everything you said mostly aside from you Kinect comments. But on everything else I agree.

- Vita will not sell as well as last gen handhelds did, just look at the 3DS. Price points are too high and too many gamers are switching over to tablets and iphones.

- The Wii U to me just looked awful. The controller is just too damn big to be practical for playing lots of stuff and while I don't doubt that Nintendo will have some great uses for it its clear that Nintendo and I just don't see eye to eye which is fine they'll still get their demographics its just they aren't a company that caters to my tastes anymore.

- Uncharted looked very underwhelming. It litteraly looked like the same game as Uncharted 2. There wasn't a single wow moment during that gameplay.

- Sequels galore like you said. There were only like 2 new IP's announced this entire E3. I just don't understand it are developes that afraid to take a risk or what? It's pathetic.

- Where are all the "big" new game announcements and showing? Where the hell is Alan Wake, Agent, Grand Theft Auto, Heavenly Sword 2, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, The Last Guardian, the Pokemon RPG for the Wii U, and countless other things that could have actually been surprising.

Overall all 3 had a lame showing this year. I mean really Sony is acting like taking up stage time to show off 3DTV's and stuff is acceptable instead of showing NEW games and same thing with MS spending SO MUCH time on Kinect. I think Kinect is actually pretty cool but they needed more focus on showing some core controller based games. And Nintendo you can't spend an entire conference only announcing 1 new 3DS game, and a new system without a single actual game.

i have an even better analogy.

almost everyone universally thinks Wii Music is total crap. if one core gamer learns to like it, it doesn't mean it's suddenly a core game. it's just one person in a sea of people who hate it.

you're just one person in a sea of people who dislike kinect. therefore, it's not a core game.

But it's a wrong analogy. If Kinect isn't something for core gamers, why is Rise of Nightmares in the works? Ryse? Steel Battalion? 

And why are games like Minecraft, Mass Effect 3 and Ghost Recon Future Soldier using it?

Because it's also for core gamers. You sound like someone who saw a grown man playing Pokemon and going "Pffft, Pokemon is for kids.".

that's the point. it's a mistake. they shouldn't be putting a kid's peripheral in a grown man's game. this argument will go on forever. either way, majority says kinect isn't for core gamers. you may be an exception, along with the rest of you 1%, but that doesn't make you right. it just makes you different. majority says kinect is for kids and casual giggle hunters. so it is universally understood as that.

blame the developers not the hardware.  kinect can be used for amazing things like some of the voice commands in game and out.   but it can also be used for pathetic things like "well just watch the star wars demo"

this is not kinects fault, its the developer who made it this kiddy, shitty experience you say.  Kinect is for everyone.  you can take the hardware and make a kiddy experience or an adult one.

please tell me how commanding your troops in mass effect with your voice is at all bad or kiddy?   its basically like having a head set on and teling another person in multiplayer where to go.  is communicating in multiplayer games KIDDY?  so how is telling AI what to do kiddy?

now saying the voice options in dialuge is freaking stupid, but thats just like i said.  that is not kinects fault that is bioware stupidly doing that.



Uncharted 2 is a very good game so I was glad to see more trailers for Uncharted 3! I thought some announcements were average but the new Mario Kart entices me. I wonder if Dragon's Dogma and Overstrike will be good though?



PSV price was a shock for me and Far cry 3 announcement made me happy..

That was all for me that I liked about the E3, ofcourse their were games that I liked like Halo 4 but I was expecting it..

Still I am going to be excited for next year's E3..

Will we see new Wii U games announcements (hope by then we will already have some)

Will the rumors be true and will MS show the next box (I expect rumors about the nextbox)

Will we see some big announcements for PSV and will their be a PS4 announcemnt?

Only around 365 days left.

Mostly agree too but

"6. Uncharted 3 looks underwhelming. I don't know what gives, but it looks... worse than Uncharted 2. And it seems like exactly the same game. Resistance 3 looks good, but these two games aren't going to carry Sony over the holiday. They didn't have anything special for the PS3."

WHAT THE FUCK?! Resistance 3 looks good? That looked underwhelming.
Uncharted 3 was a fucking beast... BEAST!!! B E A S T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They have change so much in like.. animations, the way drake is fucking standing, THE CHARACTER MODELS LOOK SO GOOD, voice acting better than ever, chloe looks 10x better, elena looks 10x better, SULLY looks 10x better, DRAKE IS A BEAST, katherine and that other solid snake look-alike looks AWESOME. THE VISUALS OF THE WATER,FIRE,SAND OH GOD THE DESERT.

WHAT THE FUCK!? Bro' you need to look at this again:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMInoLwQJW4

Its everything that defines Uncharted, pure fucking epicness and the best top-notch story telling!

 

@Everyone who says Un2 is better looking:
Lmao, I can put my ass on the line that you have not spent 300 hours on the game like I have, MULTIPLAYER ALONE. The visuals are a fucking huge difference. I urgue you to play the game over again, be amazed, then look at the trailer.


I guess Uncharted 2 is looking so good that people can't process more. Same goes for the whole 60 fps thing. The eye cant really respond to more than 60 or 90 fps I believe (something along those lines). Trust me when I say its far better looking. Anyone that beat the campaign 5 times like myself would know.

Lazarevic: YOU WILL NOT.. STAND.. IN THE WAY... OF DESTINY!!

Un3 was hands down the best thing I saw on E3. It kicked Killzone 3's story trailer in the ass and i fucking loved that one.. " I KNOW WHAT THIS NATION NEEDS " jizz..



the only reason why it sucked is because all the secrets were leaked before the show what more can the companies do all those reveals were planned for the show. So the fans ruined it for themselfs by making the surprises spread out over a month leading up instead of a whole bunch at the press conferences

maybe you ought to relax and tone down on the cursing. if you like uncharted 3, ok, say it all you want, but you don't have to say "fuck" and "shit" and everything IN CAPS.

relax. i didn't like what i saw, and you liked it. your opinion is as good as mine. the same way that a lot of people are excited about the WII U concept while i think it's nonsense. you can oppose other people's opinions if you want, but just don't curse. makes you look uncivilized (or 11 years old).



E3 sucked. Only Plus side for me was the Halo 4 and Remake announcements. No other interesting games if you ask me, except some 3DS games, but I'm not getting a 3DS.

1. Biggest downfall, WHERE WAS Pikmin 3!?!?!? I am hearing rumors that this will be delayed to become a launch Wii U title, so the fact that I didn't see this, gets me worried, and I feel is bad news. This lack of info actually gives E3 2011 a negative score overall for me.

2. No major new IP's. I feel Sony, MS, and Nintendo all need one. At least they should all revive an old IP. Sony revived Sly, but I'm not a fan, so this blows chunks if you ask me. Nintendo should have unveiled an F-Zero, Microsoft a Conker or Killer Instinct, and Sony should have revived Legend of Dragoon.

3. No news on some major games. The Last Guardian, Twisted Metal (still looks like an arcade game IMO), Project Draco, Rise of Nightmares, Steel Battalion, XenoBlade, The Last Story, Dragon Quest X, Kirby DS, FF Type Zero, etc.

Overall, more bad then good
