Let's talk E3!

[GonzoGamer]

The only thing I was wondering is if Sony intended to keep charging for online play with the ps4...which they do

 

[Hero of Lime]

Super excited about Zelda of course. Admittedly, I hope they don't go down too much of a steam punk road, what with that mechanical arrow and all.

I am a bit more pleased with Amiibo after watching the short video with Bill Trinen. It seems like they want to make the figures accompany the game rather than make it necessary like I was worried about.

Also, Miyamoto teasing Star Fox U at the very end? Ohhhhh Yeeeeaaaaahhh!

 

[Dragonbums]

Did they show anything on mass effect? My stream literally crashed when the mass effect music started.

Its just bioware talking about how they're make a new one, that was it.

It was basically a PR video. Nothing but talking faces trying to convince us that they still got that story "magic"...you know...after that ME3 ending.

 

[Shinsei-J]

So Nintendo just nailed it.
They really know how to run a show.
Now we've got live demo's being streamed later too.
Damn Nintendo, you're like a gentle lover slowly caressing my gamer gland.

 

[NoeL]

Nintendo... here, just fucking take my wallet.

Seriously, I can't remember the last time I saw a presentation and saw nothing I DIDN'T want. Every single game they mentioned I will buy (except maybe Mario Maker). Hell, new IPs are usually the hardest to sell but Splatoon looked freaking amazing - and I don't even like online battle arenas!!!

EDIT: Oh, and I'm SO glad they seem to be bundling Bayonetta in with Bayonetta 2 for all those people like me that never played it last gen. God... ok, for all you people working at Nintendo I'm offering free blow jobs. Just swing by whenever.

 

[Aiddon_v1legacy]

...........Aaaaaaaand Nintendo won in a landslide. Seriously, you can't win against a new Zelda teaser, a new Xenoblade Chronicles X trailer, a new Bayonetta 2 trailer that ALSO reveals it'll come with the first game with bonuses, Yoshi's Woolly World, a release date for 3DS Smash Bros. as well as confirming Palutena, Miis, AND NFC, new Hyrule Warriors info (yes, Zelda AND Midna, which means Link is outnumbered 3 to 1 on the playable side), and Captain Toad. Oh, and a shooter with SQUID PEOPLE. SOLD. Good times. And there's more to come, especially if that leaked Time article turns out to be true.

 

[DaViller]

The new Zelda indeed looks awesome I can´t wait for that shit. Also that shooter looks very interresting, I realy hope you can disable gyro controls though. The ink mechanic seems like a ton of fun to screw over you opponents or draw huge dicks onto theyr territorys.

 

[ToastiestZombie]

And there's more to come, especially if that leaked Time article turns out to be true.

Did you see the end of the conference? It had Miyamoto clearly playing the new Star Fox game and he's going to be showing it later.

OT: Zelda looks absolutely amazing and I'm so glad they aren't going for a realistic style that would have been outdated in a few years.

 

[Weaver]

Also, I really liked the Robot Chicken sketches.

 

[Jaxs]

Nintendo rep says that the Zelda footage was in-engine:

[LittleBumble]

Also, I really liked the Robot Chicken sketches.

The one with Peach stealing the last donut got a laugh out of me. XD

OT: Nintendo... Just... Wow. I am VERY happy with everything they've shown. I wanted to get a WiiU before but now I feel VERY certain that I want a WiiU before any other console this generation.

Also, I am absolutely HYPED to play as Midna in Hyrule Warriors. I cannot wait to see how she plays.

 

[ToastiestZombie]

I gotta say that Nintendo and Microsoft really upped their game when it came to pacing this year. They were both just new game after new game with barely any filler. I love how Nintendo managed to announce more brand new games in 40 minutes than Sony could in 2 hours.

 

[Story]

I love how Nintendo managed to announce more brand new games in 40 minutes than Sony could in 2 hours.

That's the power of a direct instead of doing a conference.

OT: Well I am, like others, incredibly impressed by Ninendo. I new IP is really what I wanted to see more than anything and it looks like a lot of fun!
And can I just say I love every single Super Smash Bros. Trailer? Even the Mii one was really cool and had a good sense of humor.

 

[hazabaza1]

Is it fair to say that Nintendo just like... stomped this year? 'Cos they did.
Scalebound, Witcher 3 and Dragon Age all seem pretty good, and some of the Ubisoft showings were kind of impressive (but fuck uplay and Ubisoft in general) but Nintendo was just game after game after game. So many of them in such a short time, I went away for like 5 minutes and missed two or three of them.
Just looking back on the video archives is making me happy I got a 3DS.

[Aiddon_v1legacy]

also, it has been announced that the LONG troubled Valhalla Studios production Devil's Third is now a Wii U EXCLUSIVE. And it appropriately looks as insane as other Itagaki games

Doesn't surprise me. I mean, look how good X looked with their in game engine trailer. And that was like...a year or two ago?

They also aren't sneaks like Microsoft and Sony so if it turns out that this is backed by a processing computer I will be horribly shocked.

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

Microsoft almost convinced me to get their console this time around. I mean, Sunset Overdrive looks awesome and I do love Insomniac. For the most part it kind of bored me a little, and that's mainly because I don't care about Halo and Crackdown. But at least we got to see some car porn.

As of Sony, they had an okay presser. They were doing pretty good until they had to talk about their numbers again. I get they had to talk about it at some point, but I didn't think it was necessary to do it then. Maybe before the presser or something. A new Uncharted, LittleBigPlanet, and Bloodborne got me super excited.

As for Nintendo, the only thing that remotely interested me was Bayonetta 2. I'm sure they have some handheld stuff that is coming out that they didn't mention or might pique my interest. They did a better job than last year though, so I will give them credit for that.

Assassin's Creed Unity looks like fun, so I'm happy about that.

Just so you know, generally all E3 games for when the console isn't out yet is just a PC with specs similar to how the actual console will be. It's always been that way, and games running off the dev kits before the console launch is very common. Nintendo has done it, as have Sony, Microsoft, and SEGA. Hell if you see their old dev kits they are giant. Once the console launches however, if it is running off a PC then it's very shady. Remember, last year the PS4 and the Xbox One hadn't launched yet, so them running off basically a PC is a given.
One thing I remember was in E3 1996 Nintendo ran Mario Kart 64 off a PC that had specs slightly better than the N64, some things are different because of the little extra power, but that's generally it.
Heck, dev kits have gotten smaller from their old 6th generation counterparts that's for sure:

Spoiler: 6th Gen Dev Kits

Left- Original Xbox Dev Kit
Middle Left- PS2 Dev Kit
Middle Right- GameCube Dev Kit (see the dolphin)
Right- Dreamcast Dev Kit

 

[Poetic Nova]

Only thing that interests me is Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. Looking forward to it.
