E3 2015

New Star Ocean! I'm in.

Don't care much about Tomb Raider/Hitman/Doosex.

Oh wow, SE opened a new developer and IP. Artwork is pretty, interested to see more of Setsuna.
 
So, Niconico graded Nintendo's Digital Event. 1 is great, 5 is poor.



This tweet came through the NoJ Twitter earlier.



I just hope they realize it's not the style of the presentation that's the issue with people who watched, it's the lackluster and unwanted games. Personally outside of Yoshi's Woolly World and the new Xenoblade (and maybe the FExSMT game) I didn't have an interest in anything shown. I enjoyed Sony's stuff way more and I don't even have a PS4.
 
I usually pride myself on being able to read moonspeak-related langauges, but I dont realy know what that first picture is trying to tell me.
 
I actually liked the presentation (Miyamoto puppet?! <3), but yeah, I wasn't really excited by anything. :/

It's a poll asking how they liked the Digital Event, the boxes are numbered from 1 to 5. 1 is basically saying they enjoyed it, while 5 is saying it was a poor show. The right side is just a live chat, I think, don't know what's going on over there.[DOUBLEPOST=1434487740,1434487688][/DOUBLEPOST]

That's what worries me, they'll take away from all this negativity that people hated the presentation, when it's really the games that were the worst part.

Oooh..damn.
 
57 minutes into this Twitch stream. You guys who were all, "Ohhh, Sony has nothing to do with this, it was nice of them to help Yu Suzuki"



NOPE. Sony is a partner in the game.
 
I loved the Muppet stuff. Nintendo's game selection left me underwhelmed. I'm actually less interested in Fire Emblem/SMT crossover (good way to bungle that, Atlus). All that really took my interest were Xenoblade and Fire Emblem.

Looks like a good final quarter to be an Animal Crossing fan ... which I'm not.

And I don't think that's what anyone wanted as a new Metroid.

This is basically where I'm at, save for still having an interest in FExSMT for some reason.

Remember that new Metroid game you wanted? CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR

Also holy hell look at the like/dislike ratio on the Metroid game, hahahaha.
Okay, so it's not a 2D Metroidvania. I thought that Metroid Prime Hunters was pretty well recieved (aside from the hand cramps). This looks like it's more of that.

The problem is this game doesn't need to be called Metroid anything. The Metroid Prime tag feels like they just slapped it on there for some brand recognition. It's a co-op FPS with a crappy sport game slapped on it (they played it in the NWC, it looks incredibly un-fun). If fans of your long-ignored series (outside of Smash) are clamoring for a new entry and you toss them something like this, it's going to leave a sour taste. Especially when the last main entry in said series was so poorly received.

e: Though I guess the UI is like Prime's, so there's that at least?
 
Oh man...I already hate this AMD PCGaming Presser. Having some jagoff from AMD come out and talk about how rad the poly-pushing power of AMD cards is.

THIS IS BORING![DOUBLEPOST=1434504040,1434503797][/DOUBLEPOST]Where's my noose?
 
Oh and now they bring out fucking Phil Spencer? No one's booing him? He looks like such a sour fuck too. Get him off the fucking stage. I can't wait to hear Year 2billion of Microsoft's horseshit PC platitudes.[DOUBLEPOST=1434505095,1434504993][/DOUBLEPOST]HE IMMEDIATELY DODGES THE CROSS PLATFORM QUESTION.

Eh, we'll see. They could be just pushing 10, but it might not be a requirement.[DOUBLEPOST=1434505642,1434505567][/DOUBLEPOST]Gears of War coming to PC?

Iiiiiiinteresting.
 
Here's some old games PC gamers, we have nothing to say about the new one.[DOUBLEPOST=1434505810,1434505746][/DOUBLEPOST]Here's the section for Jay and whoever else, it's time for drive truck simulator MERCA edition.[DOUBLEPOST=1434506208][/DOUBLEPOST]Gooood, EVE Valkyrie doesn't have integration with EVE Online.
 
Man, the Twitch chat is horrific.....for this Fullbright game and the last it's been a constant stream of SJWFAGGOTTT!!!!!1!

If that's your reaction to anything, you're on the wrong fucking side.[DOUBLEPOST=1434509680,1434509641][/DOUBLEPOST]OH SOMA, I'm excited!
 
This conference overall has been pretty boring. I keep hoping maybe - just maybe - Gabe Newell will come out and drop a Half-Life 3 trailer on us. I know it won't happen, but after Shenmue 3, Last Guardian, and Final Fantasy VII remake? I'm feeling a little hopeful.
 
I think Valve stated they had no plans to show anything at E3 this year.

Which is especially silly with the whole Steambox thing coming up.
 
Sad thing is Day9 is a good presenter, but he has nothing to work with. Lifeless crud polished is still lifeless crud. This whole thing has been close to torture to sit through.

WORST PART: The reveal of what was in the case, fuck you AMD.[DOUBLEPOST=1434510684,1434510617][/DOUBLEPOST]I'll say it, bullet hell games aren't fun.[DOUBLEPOST=1434510963][/DOUBLEPOST][DOUBLEPOST=1434511265][/DOUBLEPOST]They're not actually saying ANYTHING.

Ooooh, it's so humbling to work on Starcraft 2, we're excited that the new game is going to bring more to you.

YOU'RE NOT ACTUALLY SAYING ANYTHING RELEVANT.[DOUBLEPOST=1434511380][/DOUBLEPOST]MOVE THE FUCK ON!!![DOUBLEPOST=1434511498][/DOUBLEPOST]Final guest announcement gets the biggest cheer. Can't imagine why.[DOUBLEPOST=1434511708][/DOUBLEPOST]Oh shit, No Man's Sky being day and date with PS4. That's awesome news. It's been touted as being timed exclusive on PS4 before. That game still looks mind blowing. I'm so glad one of my childhood favorite genres "space flight sim" is coming back so hard.
 
The current generation of consoles is FINALLY looking like something I need to get on board with. Might have to pick me up a PS4 next year. Mortal Kombat X, Mad Max, Fallout 4, and Arkham Knight should keep me pretty busy.
 
Here's a few thoughts about E3 in general.

- Remakes and Sequels galore. It seemed that for every single new game showed off, we got about a dozen remakes or sequels.

- Todd Howard claiming that all mods for Fallout 4 will work on Xbox One is complete and utter bullshit unless they severely limit the ability of modders to actually mod the game.

- Software backwards compatibility is ass, the 360 is proof of that.

- No Man's Sky looks like the greatest game ever.

- Ain't no stoppin' that VR train, well, unless no one buys it.

- We'll be playing FF7 Remake: Don't Level Aeris on our PS6s.

- Sony opened up the floodgates for major publishers to just openly start Kickstarters, which is disgusting in my opinion.

- Twitch users are by and large hideous, disgusting people.

- Nintendo knows all about making an entertaining E3 presser, without actually having any real content to back it up.

- Shadow Warrior 2 looks leagues better than Doom (at probably 1/100th the budget).

- If Transformers Devastation is a bad game, I might just quit Earth.
