Forums - Gaming - E3. How it has changed? Did noone win E3?

Graphics whore's arguing still. *sigh*

Anyway, the thing with E3 is that I think we're FINALLY at a point where we're realizing that the press conference format is not as effective anymore. The real E3 for us at home lies in the stage demos of various games that were conducted (such as found at Gametrailers and Gamespot). There plenty of time is spent showing what playing a game is really like while one of the development team discusses it and useful questions are asked by the site's staff. The 24 minute one for Forza Motorsport 4 was comprehensive and fantastic. I'd recommend checking as many of them out as you can to feel a bit better about this 'lackluster' E3.

I'm on my phone. Its hard to post anything. My laptop is playing up.

Giant bomb quoted it on the battlefield 3 news page of the mobile app. Gamespot have got an awards section where battlefield 3 cleaned up. And community votes also at 47%. Compared to 27% for uc3. Out of over 5000 votes so far.

Gamersyde again was a quote in their post e3 video roundup. Ign will have theirs up soon. But in their forums the editors said battlefield 3 had no competition.

Just watching the thunder run battlefield 3 footage again shows how absurd gametrailers award is. There's stuff that engine is doing which is rediculous. I mean seriously. Its laughable. Its like saying perfect dark zero beats gears of war 2 or killzone 2. The difference is night and day graphically.

Artistically is different. Thats not graphics, its presentation.


I can agree that graphics should be about power, and that obviously games running on PC are better graphically than any game on consoles because they can be, but I don't agree with the idea that they aren't even comparable.  Obviously if they weren't Uncharted 3 wouldn't have 27% of those votes you mentioned or won graphics awards of its own.  

edit: mostly I don't agree with how you belittle and insult anyone with the opinion, so I had to post that link when I watched the award, just too funny after you go and act like all the media is behind you.

I agree with you about graphics. And this is not about fanbpyism obviously for me. Forza 4 has had a great showing in media for visuals and got just as much a mention as uc3 did at gamespot. I would be plugging that or gears 3 if I was digging 360.

This is purely about the next graphical leap. Like crysis 1 was. Bf3 is astonishing. If I could afford a gaming rig I would. But alas I can't. However I'm impressed with the console version. 720P native with those animations and effects is still amazing. It kills crysis 2 imo on console. And that game did win gfx crowns in media.

I can't help but think some people juz can't let go of there exclusive ps3 games are always top thing. Because it seems to be blinding how good bf3 really is graphically. Now to hope the gameplay is as good.=D

it's actually 1280x704 http://forum.beyond3d.com/showthread.php?p=1558033#post1558033 (He is a dev working of BF3) with MLAA

It never ceases to amaze me how people can get hung up over one little point and completely miss the big picture.

 

Edit: No, not you.  The graphic whores.

I think the only people that say no one won E3 this year obviously have a personal bias against Sony.

Why? Because people aren't interested in vita? I have gamerscore on wp7 games. That over vita for me any day of the week. I have a console for amazing graphics thanks. And nothing apart from uncharted 3 interests me on ps3. Don't like infamous much. Killzone is average to me next to halo HD remake and gt was replaces years ago with forza. As for the lesser exclusives out on ps3 this year and next, is much rather buy the awesome 3rd party games coming our way and ryse and star wars kinect. Sorry, but I prefer the variety 360 gives for both quality core and quality casual games. Vita bored me to no end. Smartphones and in particular wp7 Xbox live is the way forward.

Sorry. Not everyone on this site loves sony. ( Well 80% of the site does )

ROFL, SW Kinect over actually DECENT games... and a damn cellphone over a powerful and innovative handheld... yay for a fictitious sense of accomplishment with achievements!

I think that your bias is now written in stone with this post.

Lol at the fanboys in denial. With some gifs and screenshots. Sorry but the talk of the show graphically was battlefield 3 (including how amazingly real the console versions looked) and the technical achievement of skyrim. Its an insult to skyrim to compare its fully interactive realtime engine to a scripted game like uncharted. Technically the formed is much much harder to do well. There are plenty of videos around. ( I can't post I'm on my phone ). But the realtime dragon battle shown at e3 for skyrim was better than anything gears 3 or uncharted 3 showed.

moderated - Tor


LMAO

and you call fanboy to people that thinks uncharted 3 is the best looking game of  e3 ??? LOL

i think you are the one in denial lol

what was the other part of the post that mod deleted????? why did he not delete the intire post ?????

Didn't delete any of it, just left a note so other moderators will know the post has been dealt with.

oh, and Selnor.  Here you go buddy: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/best-graphics-best-of-e3/716370

Uncharted 3 wins the award, Skyrim and ME3 don't even get a mention but BF3 did.  Guess it's not such a crazy suggestion that Uncharted 3 might be one of the best looking games this year.

Well that's the first. And gametrailers officially now claim ps3 over the latest pc technology. Because they clearly refer to the pc version of battlefield 3.

Well done Sony. Ps3 Is more powerful than dx11 and the latest alienware pcs. Seriously. Well done according to gametrailers. Thank goodness most other sites like ign, giant bomb and gamersyde have a brain to name a few.

HAHAHA WHAAT? people these days still think alienwae pcs are the top of the notch? omg i think i just died a little bit inside

Lol. Sony fans just don't get it. I've been around the block with gaming. I've owned every system except for jaguar, ps3 and Wii. However k have had extensive time with all.

Imo handheld gaming is fiddly and stupid. My opinion. However the fact that smartphones have great lil games is a bonus. And now I can also earn achievements on a bus. Double bonus. Sonic 4 looks perfect on my phone. Juz like love arcade. So I'm very happy. To me psp, ds, vita are just weaker versions of there big brothers. Same games just smaller. No thanks. FIFA 12. Oh FIFA 12 vita. Just crapper graphics and cut modes. You get my drift. Completely not interested.

As for kinect. Many so called hardcore gamers are stuck jn their stupid ways. I grew up with gaming. Its refreshing to see things change. I have been getting bored of x Japanese game with button mashing. Or spiky haires kid takes kn the world with jump here, cutscene. Shoot that. Cutscene. Star wars kinect will be great fun with mates. I love star wars. And can't wait to laugh with my fellow star wars loving friends. Ryse looks equally cool. Finally game nights won't just consist of shooting competitions and sports titles.

A breath of fresh air if you ask me. Gaming was becoming stale. I couldn't care less if people think I'm not a hardcore gamer. But at least I'm comfortable with where my life is. And how my life has changed since my first commodore 64 at the age of 6.
