Zero Punctuation: The Second Annual E3 Hype Massacre

Yahtzee you forgot Splinter Cell ConViction, Modern Warfare 2 and the new Star Wars MMORPG (you know to bash it with that super trailer, that will never be like the game).
Now E3 is all about hyping, like when you are a virgin and is just about to make sexy. It's over to soon, not as good as you expected and some ressentiment is left. Long life to E3.
PS: please review Prototype, cause I wanna know who cloned who (Prototype or inFamous)

hehe because people are shit! ah i was hoping he was going to say people equal shit. i wounder if that was refrence to slipknot
Meh i waited a whole week for another E3 sum up but cuz i love yahtzee im going to let this one slip by 
You can't apply the motion sensing to a game like Gears of War and Call of Duty, there to much action.
By the way the Nintendo referrence was spot on.
Whats also interesting is that the next Team Ico game has caused many to think the beast will die (GamesRadar for one)... maybe the word LAST Guardian implies death from the beginning.
I just wonder what Yahtzee thinks about this DS scribble game that won most critics re-release awards...
Another is Modern Warfare 2. He somewhat liked the first although the trailer wasn't TJAT impressive, meh might as well wait and see.
Not much really wowed me this year, in the long term I'm just waiting for God of War III while in the short term I'll get Overlord II, charming game.

The video was wonderful and I agree with Yahtzee on ALL of his points raised in this review.
However, he did not mention the oncoming of Mass Effect 2. Combat has been improved, and hopefully, so has playability! Then it'll be worth a damn!
As for God of War III and Gears of War III (Holy crap, they're both "of war" and have a III stapled on the end).. When you've seen Cratos (sp?) split open one skill with his fist, you've seen them ALL! As for Gears of War, Yahtzee would call it a "generic brown FPS that's the color of shit."

I'm surprised Yahtzee didn't mention L4D2. I guess he figured it's taken enough flak from fans of the first game. Star Wars: The Old Republic was skipped as well. I was expecting some sort of "Oh yes, the obligatory Star Wars game, a franchise that definitely hasn't gotten so flooded with games that you could build a bridge to the *expletive* moon with them." Perhaps Yahtzee knows everything Bioware makes is gold, or the sheer awesomeness of the cinematic was enough to warm even the cold, jaded shackles of his heart. Of course, the most likely answer is that he can't cover everything.
well really inFamous "cloned" [PROTOTYPE] cuz [PROTOTYPE] has been in the media longer than inFamous but thats just if you want to get technical but they are both great games so yeahbrazuca said:

people are shit I can agree with that. If we weren't shit then America wouldn't be in a recession. There wouldn't be a war on terrorism. We'd all be smarter and not destroying our lives with drugs. We'd also be happily riding the choo choo express to heaven!!!!
p.s. the noise in the end credits was hilarious XD

It took me a second viewing to figure out he was garggling along with the generic metal.0p3rati0n said:
Well never thought I would say this, but this one is just meeh. I mean, all he's doing is just swearing at some upcoming titles. That's all, heck lot's of it isn't even extremely witty. No I'll just wait untill he reviews the mentioned games (or at least some of em) more indepth. I like it when he attacks a game with valid points whilst making witty comments about it. This video lacked that for the most part, makes me a sad panda.
You know, I tried to find this funny but...
Basically all he did was reiterate things like "I hate Nintendo" and "Franchise titles are bad" (nevermind he has his own franchise of a sorts in his game dev experience), rip off a PA strip for his joke about Last Guardian (then again it was easy), and just generally say things we've already been hearing since E3 on this very site even.
Ah well, they can't all be winners.
