This is just my opinion on the matter so relax and hear me out.
When i'm going into E3, i'm expecting these companies to drop bombs in the form of new games. Multiplats are nice but i'm looking for the exclusives for the most part. Also, indie/PSN/XBL type games are more of like a side dressing/sprinkles on the cake type of thing if you know what i mean. I'm looking for the NEW BIG HITTERS.
Let's start with Sony( the company i was obviously looking forward to seeing the most). Before E3 i knew that i was going to pick up Infamous Second Son, The Order and Uncharted 4 when i got the PS4. So as i'm going into E3, i'm expecting some new titles to be announced that i would add to that list.
After skimming through the conference reveals, all i see is LBP3..
The Last Guardian Remaster DOES NOT COUNT! We played this shit already! I have Tlou in my hand right now as i'm typing this.
Bloodborne/Project Beast was LEAKED on neogaf so we already knew about this game. Any excitement or amount of shock that could've been had from this game was instantly taken away beforehand when it got leaked.
LBP3 was the only game i didn't see coming and provided that "shock" factor.
Microsoft had Forza Horizon and Crackdown 3 as the big finale i guess
Halo Collection/remake DOES NOT COUNT! We played this shit already!
Forza Horizon 2 has been speculated to be shown for some time now but didn't we just have a Forza game released like 8 months ago? Another one already? Whatever..
Crackdown 3 was the big finale game but wouldn't Crackdown usually be one of the "lesser" games if you know what i mean? I would've never thought that Crackdown would be that "big" game MS showed at E3.
Nintendo "supposedly" showed Starfox Wii U but i didn't see anything on it yet.
Zelda, good shit!
Mario Party 10, why THE FUCK do Nintendo keep trying to put these STUPID TWISTS on these games? They still have this dumb ass car that the players have to get in on each stage? I wish they would stop that shit..
Kirby Wii U, here we go again with these DUMB ASS twists. They couldn't just make a regular Kirby game for Wii U, they had to do that canvas curse shit again that they did on the Kirby DS game.
Yarn Yoshi, looks alright
Hyrule Warriors, whatever.. I'm not saying that it's bad or anything but it's just not something i'm too interested in. It looks like a open fighting/hack n slash game like dynasty warriors with Zelda characters slapped on.
Ink Shooter Splatoon might be fun. Is this a new Nintendo ip or is it a 3rd party?
Captain Toad looks alright
Overall, i feel like these leaks are really taking the excitement out of E3. I like seeing leaks when they come but each leak takes excitement away from e3.
I'm not too sure who i think "won" E3 but as each E3 passes, my give-a-fuck meter lowers.
I would probably give it to Nintendo because they seemed to have a bit more of that classic "shock" factor when it came to what we didn't see coming. There are a lot of 3rd party games that are not coming to Wii U that will be on PS4 and X1 so this is one thing that might hold me back from saying Nintendo won but i'm starting to not even care these days..
I just feel like E3 was boring. We already knee about COD, Assassins Creed, The Witcher, The Division and all that other stuff.
Where is the NEW shit from the big 3?
Am i looking for the wrong things when watching E3 or..?
