Official E3 thread.

The blarg.


Definitely the blarg.

The Sony conference was really good, even if you're not a Sony fan, it will really make you want to try out the new games that were shown off today.

That new Quantum game looks amazing, I really liked Heavy Rain so I'll definitely be buying that game.

Battle Royale confirmed to have Nathan Drake and Big Daddy is excellent news. Can't wait for the roster reveals later on for that game. Even though it's a Smash Bros. clone, it's still something that everyone wanted to see, Sony fan or not.

With all the new Vita capabilities that were announced today, it really makes me feel like I need to buy a Vita soon. Probably when there will be a cheap bundle, I will.

The storybook crap made my brother fall asleep, and I almost did too. Why did this fill up so much time? ugh.

Not really into God of War, so I'm not interested in the new title.

The Last of Us. Oh. My. Goodness. Blew me away. Naughty Dog never fails to deliver.

Great E3 so far. I can't wait for Nintendo's conference tomorrow. I think I'll explode.

What was up with the Far Cry III trailer? I haven't seen it.

Warning - 18+ spoiler:

Spoiler:

Right off the bat you see a woman having sex with the main character for 1 whole minute straight, while hundreds of other men watch. It was extremely awkward. Plus, lot's of violence and nonstop swearing. I think if someone were to review this game, it would get a 0/100 in the morality score based on the trailer alone.

Krytae. Phe. You guys should write blog posts on the confo's so CCGR can get into some 'official' E3 action this year. I've got one in the panel now for M$'s that I'ma wait a bit more on before I post.

I might write one for Sony's conference, and possibly Ubisoft's. We'll see.

The plus side about Ninty's conference, as some random internet guy pointed out, is that there's a good chance it'll be good since all the 'boring' stuff (that M$ droned on about today) was gone through yesterday. I actually have high hopes for it.

Well, we did get to see some amazing games today. Some that just down-right made my jaw drop. Either way, I know that Nintendo will steal the show. The ranking for all 3 in the end will probably go:

Nintendo
Sony/Ubisoft
EA
Microsoft

'Course, I did for Xbox today too. Plus, there has been no 'freebies' this year. I want some odd DLC jangle or something.

For us Playstation owners, we get LBP2, Infamous 2 and.. (forgot the third game) for free if you're a Playstation Plus subscriber. Plus many more games will be coming out for free as well. Really excited about that!

Good first day of E3. I think I'll crap myself tomorrow if Valve comes out during the Nintendo conference.

[Chozon1]

Ew. Both the poo and the Far Cry 3 clip. XD Still, I agree. I'd probably scream if nothing else.

Hmm...well, at least some people got free jangle. Serves me right for not having a PS3. You guys got some sweet games. XD

And yeah, I'm harsh on M$ because I had high expectation for A rank games, and not annoying internet jank I'll probably never use. Still, I think I gave it a fair run in my blarticle, but perhaps not.

[ChickenSoup]

so I had a complete nerd meltdown over the assassin's creed E3 trailer

[Pheonix]

Was I the only one who loved the Halo 4 gameplay they showed today?

[Chozon1]

No. No you weren't. I'm really hoping they keep the scanning visor thingum in as a gameplay mechanic.

[Pheonix]

Cortana was always the character I wanted to be fleshed out the most.

[Blue]

I enjoyed it. I just wasn't amazed because it doesn't seem to be much different from any of the other Halo games.

The opening trailer was fantastic though. I always liked the Halo commercials. They're amazing.

[Chozon1]

So I just went and watched the so-called 'amazing' Assassins Creed 3 trailer. With sort of a " " attitude.

I...I may have started crying...

[Chozon1]

5:42 until Nintendo's conference.

5:42 until I am lifted on the flaming wings of awesome, or plunged into the flatulence of despair.

It's the unknowing that adds flavor, as normally I'm wary of getting hyped over Ninty's conference, as they usually do fair to poor. But this year M$ tripped over their own face a little bit and the Big N stands a chance of blowing everyone away.

...I should probably go to sleep nao.

...But I can't. *giggle*

Need...caffeine...badleh...and...rash cream...maybe some chicken...

[Blue]

You're too excited, Chozon. Don't want to get over-hyped.

I won't lie though, I had trouble sleeping last night too. I had to take a sleeping pill.

What I expect to see:
New Nintendo IP gets announced
More Third Party exclusives
New Mario, Kirby, and hopefully Metroid and Zelda gets something new as well.
They don't spend 40 minutes talking about how they're the #1 company and talk only about games and the Wii U.
Reggie

[Pheonix]

Miyamoto is like, the coolest guy ever.



EDIT: Mass Effect 3 for Wii U?

waaaaaat

[Blue]

Well, it's sad for me to say, this was a disappointing conference.

The new Mario and Pikmin 3 look awesome, so does Arkham City and Zombi U. Nintendo Land sounds fun, but I'm not too excited about it. They didn't really announce anything new, and a lot of the things they displayed were already announced last year. Did they really need to fill a lot of time with dancing, Wii fit and Reggie groaning like a zombie?

I think Sony and Ubisoft are tied for best conference of E3 2012.

Apparently though, Nintendo has more E3 shows, especially a dedicated 3DS one. So you never know, there may be a lot more that they haven't announced.

Sony also has a lot of titles that they haven't shown at E3 yet, like for instance, the 10 or so Japanese titles that everyone has been waiting for.

[Chozon1]

Yeah, better than Microsoft, but not wonderful. Nintendo is too tight fisted with information.

It's like...it started off good, and then just sorta waffled off into Nintendo Land and Wii Fit U. I was surprised over Mass Effect, but only because I forgot that I heard it earlier. XD Same with Assassins Creed 3.

Plus, where is the pricing? Where is the release date? WHERE IS THE METROID AND KIRBY GAMES?

Not to mention Smash. They needed something kaboomy. Not, mind you, that Pikmin 3 wasn't a pretty cool surprise, or the large variety of interwebs features they're bringing in to satiate the whiners.

So...aside from my complaints, no complaints.

[JOJ650s]

Nintendo did a disappointing conference.
So no news on the Nintendo Network or upcoming Zelda, Kirby, Metroid games?

Well, there might be hope with the 3DS dedicated conference.
I really hope that the new Fire Emblem comes to the US.
