E3 megathread

[omega 616]

What I loved about this E3, wasn't the games so much but Sony didn't fuck about!

Usually companies go on and on about "here at [insert company name] are dedicated to bring the best games to you, the players" and going on about working with the best devs and all the talented people etc been the same thing for as long as I can remember, what did sony do?

They had a lil speech, mainly about the shooting, then was just trailer after trailer, then 2 more lil speeches with a good amount of trailers between. LOVED IT!

If you have a product to sell or new feature, then obviously talk about it but cut the bullshit! I don't want to hear how proud or happy you are to announce or the rest of the PR fluff you use to waste time ... give it to me point blank and then shove more gameplay in my face.

You're not the only one. I'm fully onboard for Infinite Warfare. Course it's sci-fi, and I'm a sucker for that, but I like what I've seen so far.

The hate the game's been getting just boggles my mind.

People hate all things associated with Call of Duty by name association alone. It doesn't matter what it is that's on display, if it at ALL bares even the most tangential of associations with Call of Duty, it is, by proxy, triple-A lowest-common-denominator garbage.

The reactions to the trailer prove this. Most were surprised, even excited, by what they were seeing in the trailer. Some even going so far as to say things like, "Wow! This game looks amazing! I have to know what it is!" Then the title card comes up at the end and suddenly it's, "Oh. Well, it's just COD. It looks boring and bland. I'm not interested in that filth."

Hell, look at the OP in the news story on this site in relation to the trailer. He admits the trailer made the game look intriguing, that it made him sit up and pay attention. But when he realized it was COD, his reaction changed to a mild, "Well, I guess I might give it a chance."

Do you really think they'd overlap? I mean, different settings, for one thing. I assume Battlefield will focus on vehicular combat and squad co-ordination over massive battlefields whereas Titanfall is more focused on the individual in smaller arenas, with Titans to boot. Multiplayer-focused FPS games for sure, but if anything, I'd have thought that Titanfall would have more competition with CoD, even if Battlefield is CoD's main rival.

There will inevitably be some overlap, but it won't be that significant. Each game appeals to different demographics.

My primary worry for Titanfall 2 is the possibility that there may be limited PvP and PvE content at launch. I'm excited for the campaign, but unless they have ample offerings in the multiplayer side of things there won't be much to keep people coming back.

I missed most of the non-Nintendo stuff this week.

Did Aisha Tyler try to invent a meme again?
