Title: E3 2011 news thread
Post by: maxy on June 04, 2011, 11:41:43 AM
Ok,decided to make a thread about small E3 news.
If something big and concrete pops up,bump old thread or make a new one.

Conference times,credit goes to some dude from gaf

It's a fresh, new IP: Clatchet and Rank. You play as a robot with all kinds of cool guns, and you have a fox buddy that follows you around and makes jokes.

I remember when E3 was one of the most exciting moments of the year for me. I didn't even realize until a few days ago that it was next week.
Title: Re: E3 2011 news thread
Post by: maxy on June 04, 2011, 12:04:47 PM
Two things

1.Reveal at EA conf and not at MS conf--MS doesn't care or too much Kinect stuff to show :gloomy
my guess--combination of both

2.If the game is too similar to their previous games,people will go--meh,same thing under different name

I expect some scfi game(tons of weapons,gadgets),realistic setting

no one cares about insomniac games they're a C tier developer. only xbots on the internet care about them because it's a talking point.

it's not like when Bungie went multiplatform and release games on PS3. thats big news. Insomniac releasing games on Wii and 360 isnt
Title: Re: E3 2011 news thread
Post by: cool breeze on June 04, 2011, 12:18:46 PM
Insomniac release list has been sketchy.  One ok shooter, two ok/good Ratchet games, a bad shooter, and a great Ratchet game.  I've lost interest in Resistance 3 and that Ratchet party game looks dull.  But it could turn out good, maybe.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

It was huge back when the web was in its infancy.  Now we know everything before it happens and get HD streaming videos/playable demos at home.

I went to the show back in '97 and '98 when it was here in Atlanta.  That was great...walk around a play some games n' ogle booth babes for a couple of hours, then go home.  Was convinced to go to the '99 and 2000 shows in L.A., but that's when I started getting bored.  '99 was fine since we basically arrived there and went right back home after one day, but in 2000 we went for all three days, and it was so fucking boring.  I was still a little too young and not prepared to try going elsewhere on my own, and all my friends did was stay at the show all day, then sit in the hotel room at night. :-\  I quit going after that.

that and there are like ten other big game shows now.  a few years ago there wasn't a pax, and now there are two.  and gamescom.  and gdc is basically mini-e3 now.  and comicon has more game stuff.  and then a lot of companies don't bother waiting, like how Sony announced the PSP2 at a randomly scheduled event, or Bioshock Infinite was revealed randomly.

e3 is less important in general now, even if you still care about game news

DUST 514, the FPS console counterpart to CCP's sci-fi MMO EVE Online, is due for a big announcement at E3 2011 if this countdown clock  is any indication. One fan went poking around through the site shortly after it went live and found some interesting things, since removed.

First would be these seven screenshots (gallery below), all of which appear to be new. Our tipster found a .jpg in a URL left exposed, ran the filename from 01 to 07, and came up with these. Note the PS3 branding at the bottom of the screenshots.

The tipster says he then found the .xml file that will replace the countdown once it reaches zero, and that page directs viewers to the PlayStation Blog after the end of DUST 514's live-streamed announcement.

The game never really made sense to me. Like they are just trying to get in on some of that fps money.

Why would a console gamer care about playing a shooter connected to some really niche pc gaming franchise.

But maybe it will be a good game which I suppose matters more.

Enjoy that bomba, then. PS3 users don't care about anything online other than Call of Duty.

If they aren't making a PC version then I don't know why they aren't doing a 360 version. It's not like Microsoft is going to stop them from Dust interacting with EVE online because PC to 360 interactions have happened and still do. And it's not like Sony would have signed off on playing against 360 dudes, either. Weird.

Personally, I thought the game looked pretty neat. Graphically nice and seemed like a scaled down Planetside. The interaction with EVE seemed neat as well. Giving people an option to enjoy that universe when maybe they don't enjoy or have trouble with playing EVE. I know that feeling. I just want to stab dudes in the back and fuck their entire game up.

Microsoft is pretty closed with Xbox Live. It probably has something to do with that.

I was able to get hands-on time with most of Sony’s big games before E3 2011. The following are some thoughts on these games as well as videos that show you more of what’s in store for each title. Sony’s press conference will announce some additional titles, including a new God of War  3D adventure, but these five titles should help drive sales of PS3 hardware this year and also keep PS3 gamers happy now that the hacking incident is over.

Activisions lineup

Quote
Activision’s E3 Slate Includes:
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 – Co-developed by Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer Games, Modern Warfare® 3 is set in a world on the edge of annihilation as Makarov and his terrorist organization unleash destruction and chaos across the globe. Playing as a member of several special-forces units and armed with the most advanced weaponry, players work with Delta operators and reunite with familiar characters to enter a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse as they race across the globe to stop a mad man before it’s too late. Modern Warfare 3 advances the 60 fps Modern Warfare tech to deliver exhilarating, action-packed experiences across Single Player, Special Ops and Online Multiplayer modes.

Call of Duty Elite – Designed from the ground up to integrate with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Call of Duty Elite gives players unprecedented control over their multiplayer experience, transforming it into a true social experience. The innovative online service ups the ante of any free service by offering a range of innovations on well-established multiplayer features, such as leaderboards, heat maps, and rich player data. Several other Elite features are completely new to the industry. For example, with Elite’s new Groups feature players can join custom groups based on their likes, interests, or affiliations, and then have those groups follow you directly into the game. Additionally, players can customize weapons, attachments and perks and push them directly into the game menu. Those gamers who want to continue to play multiplayer out of the box, or purchase downloadable content à la carte throughout the year can continue to do so.

Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure – Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure is an innovative new universe that brings the world of toys, video games and the Internet together in an unprecedented way. Through an inventive use of technology, players use the Portal of Power™ to bring their toys to life in a mystical new universe called Skylands. The Skylanders come to life inside the game across multiple gaming platforms including console, handheld and mobile devices and on the web, remembering achievements and level-ups wherever they go. The starter pack will include the game, three Skylanders figures and the Portal of Power™. The starter pack lets players experience the full adventure but there will be more than 30 other characters which further expand and enhance the experience. (Developed by Toys for Bob for the Wii™ and Nintendo 3DS™, Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, Windows PC, mobile devices; not yet rated by the ESRB).

PROTOTYPE 2 – PROTOTYPE 2 takes the unsurpassed carnage of the original PROTOTYPE and continues the experience of becoming the ultimate shape-shifting weapon. As the game’s all-new infected protagonist – Sgt. James Heller – players will cut a bloody swath through the wastelands of post-viral New York Zero (NYZ) as they build up a genetic arsenal of deadly biological weapons and abilities, and hunt and consume their way toward the ultimate goal…to kill Alex Mercer. For more information, please visit www.facebook.com/Prototype. (Developed by Radical Entertainment for Xbox 360™, PlayStation®3 system and Windows PC; not yet rated by the ESRB.)

Spider-Man™: Edge of Time – Playing the roles of Amazing Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2099, Spider-Man: Edge of Time propels gamers on a high-octane, adrenaline-fueled adventure in which the two versions of the heroic web-slinger must urgently work together across time to save each other and prevent a disaster that ultimately leads to the death of Amazing Spider-Man. Against the backdrop of a rich, tightly crafted narrative by acclaimed Marvel veteran Peter David, the game features two individual timelines evolving in parallel and narratively-driven “cause-and-effect” moments, uniquely utilizing “picture-in-picture” moments where the actions of one Spider-Man have immediate effects on the other Spider-Man and his surroundings. For more information, please visit www.facebook.com/HeroHQ. (Developed by Beenox for Xbox 360™, PlayStation®3 system, Wii, and Nintendo 3DS™; developed by Other Ocean for Nintendo DS™; not yet rated by the ESRB.)

X-Men™ Destiny – In X-Men Destiny, players control the fate of one of three brand-new mutant characters forced to choose between saving humanity or ensuring its destruction. The game allows players to customize the path, powers and development of their character and to decide their role in the mutant cause alongside, or against, some of Marvel’s greatest X-Men franchise characters. Gamers will evolve their mutant skills through a unique upgrade system that allows them to choose how they will mix and match the powers from their favorite X-Men and Brotherhood characters, then engage in fast and furious combat against a variety of opponents bent on defending their beliefs. For more information, please visit www.facebook.com/HeroHQ. (Developed by Silicon Knights for Xbox 360™, PlayStation®3 system, and Wii; developed by Other Ocean for Nintendo DS™; not yet rated by the ESRB.)

The Transformers™: Dark of the Moon video game thrusts players directly into an original prologue storyline to experience the epic battles on Earth that will shape the events of the upcoming blockbuster film. Armed with a new gameplay mechanic called Stealth Force™, fans will be able to instantly convert to a third, hybrid state that combines the weapons and firepower of Robot Mode with the agility and maneuverability of Vehicle Mode. Set in unique environments around the world such as the Jungles of Central America, Siberian military facilities, Urban Cityscapes and more, the game lets players assume the roles of a diverse roster of favorite TRANSFORMERS characters from the movie through a heart-pounding campaign to save mankind. (Developed by High Moon for Xbox 360™ and PlayStation®3 system; developed by Behaviour Interactive for Wii, Nintendo 3DS™, and Nintendo DS™; rated “T” for Teen on Xbox 360™ and PlayStation®3 system and “E10+” on Wii, Nintendo 3DS™, and Nintendo DS™ by the ESRB.)

Wappy Dog – The next evolution of virtual pets arrives on the Nintendo DS™ family of handheld systems this holiday season in Wappy Dog, a toy puppy that interacts with the player through the Nintendo DS. Wappy Dog engages young gamers to raise their very own puppy in both the real and virtual worlds and teach it cool tricks, play mini-games together and even converse! Each pet is a fully personalized experience, enabling players to determine their pet’s constantly evolving skills with every interaction and customize both the in-game version and physical dog with different colors and accessories.

Bob McKenzie, SVP of merchandising at GameStop has stated that Modern Warfare 3 pre-orders have already kicked-off at “a record-setting pace,” and are already outpacing Black Ops which itself beat out previous record-holder Modern Warfare 2 – a title which “previously set the industry standard”.

“Last year, Call of Duty: Black Ops became the most pre-ordered title in our history,” said McKenzie in a press release.

“Already, this year, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is significantly ahead of that pace. Our customers’ response to the reveal of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has been amazing.”

Post by: Olivia Wilde Homo on June 07, 2011, 08:56:31 PM
I don't think anyone has given a rat's ass about Twisted Metal since 1997.

I think Sony won the show.  The Vita being $249 should make Nintendo feel embarrassed about their underpowered POS handheld costing the same amount.  Sony has an uphill battle but the 3DS performance is anemic to the point where Sony can squeeze off what little momentum there is for the 3DS if they play their cards right.  TBH, I kind of expected them to half ass their non-Japan side of things, given how the PSP turned out, but with that price point, I'm glad Sony is being as aggressive as they are.

Nintendo is up next.  We all knew that the 3DS would see yet another Mario, Mario Kart, etc. but these round of games look pretty good.  The Wii U is a stupid ass name but some of the initial information looks decent for a stopgap HD console.  Nintendo has finally stumbled out of the dark age of gimmickry uber alles.  Good for them.

Microsoft is last.  The 360 is deader than dead.  If you're not a Kinect fanatic, I don't really see how anyone could be hyped up about what is in store.  I'm not gonna lie - I think that the Halo remake would be interesting.  I kind of like to think that Microsoft has given up on the 360 and are secretly hard at work on developing interesting Xbox 3 titles.  Which seems kind of dumb considering the second wind they've received.  Bad show from these people.

I'm pretty happy with this E3

-I was surprised by Far Cry 3, FC2 was cool if flawed and this looks hot so I'm in
-Dark Souls looks like Demon's Souls. Maybe a bit better i dunno, gotg most likely
-Vita is SO hawwwwt, cross play, transfarring :bow2 but I'm really not into the touch screen twaddle shown so far except maybe in menus and stuff. But in gameplay shown, it seems gimmicky and unimportant, replacing buttons where they don't need replacing. Gimmicky crap ain't gonna impress anyone
-Skyrim :drool
-Wipeout 2048, with cross play :bow2
-Nintendo and MS  :lol  ;)
-Trackmania 2 is interesting
-XIII-2 looks like the same old shit but it has branching paths and NPC's so Himu is cumming
-I'm actually pretty interested in Zelda SS now
-Arkham City is gonna be sweeet
-SR3
-Uncharted 3, Rayman Origins, From Dust :heartbeat

Far Cry 3, Prey 2, Shinobido 2 are the best new things.  Seeing more of games I really want is nice.  I'm somehow even more excited for Zelda Skyward Sword and Arkham City.

for conferences,

Microsoft:  couldn't make it through this.  Saw some announcements; everything kinect is garbage, halo 4 teaser...ok

Sony:  pretty much everything ps3 related was dull; can't believe there were Move stage demos.  Vita showcase was disappointingly the same stuff from the unveil.  Still, Vita looks awesome and the price is killer.  As a whole, boring stuff.

Nintendo:  nothing for wii.  nothing for 3ds.  new console is interesting/neat for nintendo hardware, but a lot of bad decisions already.  overall, boring stuff.

All three conferences were ambien.  Sony needed to show more of the Vita, or at least some worthwhile PS3 games.  The WiiU reveal was fine, but Nintendo really needed to show software for the 3DS; really shows no faith in the product when the sole new game is Luigi's Mansion 2.  Microsoft.....I really don't know.

So Microsoft is in hibernation mode? 'Dat cross platform Windows feature :teehee

Its funny, this year is supposed to be sick in regards to game releases but that wasn't really conveyed in the three major conferences. Guess next year will be the big one (hinting or revealing new hardware from Microsoft and/or Sony?). I guess it was the lack of future vision that was a bore at this E3.

Post by: maxy on June 08, 2011, 06:53:26 AM
I will go against the grain and say that this E3 is one of the best ever.Tons and tons of games everywhere,for anyone(except weeaboos and nintendo fans,but who cares about them  :smug)

People are bitching about new IPs,but what happens when something new comes out...rental rental meh meh and everybody flocks to the some sequel

New IPs are in the same league as innovation...most overrated thing ever
Square wheels car-- :omg innovation

MS
-tons of cool Kinect family stuff,optional Kinect stuff in core games(Ryse supports controller)
-huge "core" games...MW3,Tomb Raider,Gears 3,ME3,Ghost Recon,Halo :hyper
-tons of under the hood Kinect,Live improvements
-Forza 4 looks and sounds fucking great

Sony
didn't watch the whole thing,just Vita stuff but
-Uncharted 3,Resistance 3,Sly 4,Bioshock,etc...great stuff
-PS Vita price :omg

PSN was totally neglected though
-no PSN improvements
-PS Vita cross game chat,but nothing for PS3

Nintendo
-Wii U sounds like some Wii addon
-3DS stuff
-Wii doesn't exist anymore

The biggest disappointment to me

PS Vita third party(west) support--nothing at all at biggest consumer show,nothing
Not even some shitty COD port footage,for a device that has been in dev hands for like 2 years...disaster
Amazing price,tech but that device is not for me :(

Third party is obviously ruling the show,there is so much quality third party stuff that it wouldn't fit in 24 hour presentation.

Some stuff
Forza 4,amazing stuff

Saints Row 3 is...insane :lol

[youtube=560,345]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMZva__rU14[/youtube]

The biggest surprise is Prey 2,this screams "must play"


In short PS360 fans can look forward to HQ first/third party stuff and Wii fans can count daisies.

Gears 3,Forza 4,Halo CE remake,bunch of XBLA stuff

I don't make distinction between first/second party shit.Anything that has more than one year(week) exclusivity might as well be 10 year exclusive.
I'm certainly not patient when it comes to video games,play it at launch or not play it at all.

But without third party stuff every console would be totally worthless to me...as long as MS provides me with third party stuff that I like,all is fine
Hell,I bought PSP just to play GTA games--i've played lots of other PSP games of course but no GTA,no buy

Halo 4 next year :hyper

:lol

I'm not ok with what MS is doing actually but I ain't bitching now, this year they can go all out Kinect because the thing needs some love for whoever bought one.

Next year I ain't gonna be all xfaggy though. I will be content with a new console reveal + return of the Japanese developers.

It won't matter by then, Kinect will become just some extra feature in games just like what we saw in Mass Effect 3 and not something that they gonna waste another whole E3 show on it.

I bet you my account.

MS will have hard time convincing casuals to buy another expensive addon,they won't care much about improved precision,etc
In box would guarantee dev support from the start.

maybe they give up and and copy-paste Wii U

next xbox+Win 8 tablet controller

Mattrick isn't in charge of XBLA. There's another guy, but I forget his name. The only reason I know this is because everyone from shmups.org hated the first guy that was in charge of XBLA because he denied 5pb's Cave ports, but the guy who came after him is clearly competent.

I'll still probably end up playing the majority of the 3rd party stuff on my 360 or PC but as for the direction MS is headed, leave me out.  They have nothing and don't look to be doing anything I remotely care about.  They've become the new Nintendo.  If kinect is going to be a big part of the new xbox, and you know MS won't drop it since they're already balls deep, then I'm probably not going to get one.  Fuck MS.

Sony didn't blow me away with anything but at least they're putting out real games.  Uncharted 3 is enough for me.  As far as Vita is concerned, I'm impressed with the tech and the price but at the end of the day it comes down to how much I'd actually play it and it'll probably end up going into the drawer with all my other portables.  With the iphone/android market being what it is I'm not sure who exactly the Vita is supposed to be for.  I don't want to carry around 3 different devices with me to do 3 different things, that's why I have an iphone. The hardcore gamer probably already has a PS3, so why would I want to play watered down PS3 games on my Vita instead of playing the on my TV?  I don't know, maybe portables just aren't for me but I can't really see this being all that successful even with all the shit Sony is packing into the thing at $250.

And I laughed my ass off at Nintendo's conference but when I started to see some of the demos and read the hands on with the Wii U, I've come around.  I'm actually looking forward to a Nintendo system....I can't remember the last time I could say that but I would like to see an actual game running on the Wii U instead of a PC/360/PS3 demo real.

So if I had to rank 'em.....

1) Sony
2) Nintendo
.

.

99) AIDS
100) MS

But surely that guy has to answer to Mattrick in some way. He controls the entire games division.

I'm sure he approves all of the plans or something, but he's not directly calling the shots, is my point. As long as the XBLA guy remains profitable, he probably won't interfere.

EA Games Label president Frank Gibeau said during an E3 meeting this morning that the firm plans to alternate Battlefield and Medal of Honor releases on an annual basis, and will release Respawn’s project when it sees an “opportunistic” window for what he called a “sci-fi shooter”.


According to Gibeau: “In general we’re going to continue to follow our rotation strategy of giving studios a full two-year cycle to get a game built and polished to maximum quality, but we’re going to do it in a way that allows us to maximize technology investments like Frostbite 2, the online service models that we’re doing… we’re going to be able to trade team knowledge and increase the quality of the products year in, year out,” he said.

“The idea is to have that rotation happen with Battlefield and Medal of Honor and keep it fresh so you don’t burn the teams down or over-annualize the product lines. Titles like Respawn – and I think the Insomniac title is a little bit more of an action game than a pure shooter – we’ll sprinkle those in where we see opportunistic gaps, either in a release schedule or in a genre standpoint.

“Those typically are more sci-fi oriented shooters, where as the Medal of Honor and Battlefield brands are obviously more modern military oriented. So it allows us to pick and choose the best of the sci-fi shooters. It allows us to compete with things like Gears and Halo and put them on places in our release calendar where they’re not cannibalistic to the core business and that’s the essential strategy going forward.”

It has along been the rumor that Respawn’s title for EA Partners was a sci-fi shooter, and Gibeau’s comment pretty much confirms it.

The latest masterpiece from Tak Fuji. It's kinda a sequel to that game X-Blades...

http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-2011-blades-of/715792

It actually doesn't look terrible but it doesn't look great either, Whatever though, Tak Fuji is awesome.

Oh what the fuck. X-Blades is LITERALLY one of the worst games I have ever played.

At least this doesn't look as fundamentally broken as the last game.
