Yeah, 43 pages is too much.Aenir said:
All I wanted is to find out more info about the new Silent Hill.
tl;dr needs table of contents on the first page so we don't have to go through each page to just see the different titles.
I find is supremely sad that out of the 43 games (at the time I'm typing this), there are only three original IPs.
Catherine
Dead Island
Starhawk
I mean, for fuck's sake, almost every game is either a sequel to a game we already knew was happening, a spinoff of one of the main franchises, or a reboot/revival of a franchise lost in time. Not saying that these games don't look good, but c'mon. It's either a number, a subtitle, or a number and subtitle in these games. I mean, even the downloadable game (Zombie Apocalypse 2) is a sequel! Was last year's E3 like this, 'cause I don't quite remember it like this...
Still, thanks for condensing them all into an article. Read up on some previews I didn't catch on the info dump that is E3. Looks like a helluvah year for games, that's for sure.

I agree completely. Really guys, we need some new stuff. No more Call of Halo Fable Dutyfield Kart 13.Jumplion said:
Didn't they say "starhawk" was also a sequel to "warhawk"?Jumplion said:
Oh well, they're only sequels. So long as quality keeps up, I don't care much.
Yeah, I know, but that doesn't mean I have to like it! It just seems that this year is covering overwhelmingly more old IPs than more unique IPs. I could have sworn more original IPs were covered last year. Or maybe I'm mixing that up with PAX.SirBryghtside said:I'm interested in a lot of these games - by which I mean four or five, but that's more than I usually buy in a year
The problem with this kind of thinking is that old IPs being shown at these kind of events is just common sense.Jumplion said:
People don't find out about new IPs unless they're from a well-known dev - which means that unless a game is incredibly interesting (read: MineCraft, LittleBigPlanet, Scribblenauts), they have no chance of being shown. There will, undoubtedly, be great new series in the coming years. But E3 isn't the place to find them.
It's on its way. E3 is over but our coverage isn't. Expect more previews, photo galleries and our top picks of the show early next week.ECasThat said:
They forgot to put in Insomniac's new IP [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/7.289643-E3-Ratchet-Clank-Devs-Meld-Guns-Gadgets-and-Jokes-in-Overstrike], by the way (really, Escapist? 4-player, high-tech, black ops Insomniac IP, and you forgot?! I am disappoint). Hopefully that cheers you up; it sure made my day!Jumplion said:
I don't think that was available on the floor, it was only an announcement after all.Andronicus said:They forgot to put in Insomniac's new IP [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/7.289643-E3-Ratchet-Clank-Devs-Meld-Guns-Gadgets-and-Jokes-in-Overstrike], by the way (really, Escapist? 4-player, high-tech, black ops Insomniac IP, and you forgot?!
