Games: The E3 Thread

[Raven]

Uncharted gameplay trailer was amazing, as was God of War 3. I'll be buying a PS3 closer to the release of those two, early next year. I'd like to wait for the slim console if I can, not that it's been announced dammit. Another game to look forward to is Last Guardian (or Ico 3). Yet another reason I'll need a PS3.

I'm a bit disappointed with a sequel for L4D so soon. I'd prefer a bit more DLC and it feels like the game hasn't aged enough yet. They're laying their cards on the table too soon.

New Castlevania looks alright. I'll probably get it, I suppose. Alan Wake is a bit exciting. And who saw the trailer for Dark Complex? Looks great for an arcade game.

I've always been a bit of a Nintendo fanboi, but this E3 was really, really weak for them. Admittedly I watched their stuff third (after the other big two) so maybe I'm comparing too much, but frankly they were... boring. They had nothing really. Never thought I'd say that any time soon.

I completely agree. The first one hasn't even been out an entire year yet and there's already a sequel, what the hell. I would like them to be two years apart, at least.

I can't wait to get my hands on BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger and King of Fighters XII. I'm happy to see some new 2-D fighters and in HD. I love fighting games.

I'd have to agree with that, with the exception of the last 10 minutes or so where they announced Mario Galaxy 2 and Metroid: Other M, it was almost entirely casual stuff like Wii Fit or Wii Sports Resort, hell they even put in an interactive novel and a fashion game for the DS.

What irritates me is that for the first time I'm actually excited with the lineup of good looking games both first and third party coming out for the Wii, and they show trailers for about 4 of them and spend the majority of the time talking about games I don't even remotely care about, they didn't even bother to show off some of their first party titles such as Sin and Punishment 2 or Monado - Beginning of the World.


The Good :
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Metroid Prime: Other M
New Super Mario Brothers Wii (Although it doesn't have online, which is a bummer.)
Golden Sun DS

The Bad :
Everything else.


However, it's not like the bad conference takes away the games that are being made, and I suppose it was better than 2008.
