Starts at 12:30 EST. Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: luckton on June 04, 2012, 10:07:04 AM Prediction: Nintendo will steal the show with Wii U. The press and general public will rave about it. Gamers themselves...not so much.
MS will do another "OMG IT'S KINECT!" press show. Sony will still be apologizing for failure. Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: Mrbloodworth on June 04, 2012, 10:17:24 AM Smart glass is rather cool. It also undercuts the shit out of WII U.
Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: CmdrSlack on June 04, 2012, 10:29:30 AM I am not going to get excited about smart glass until I can see how it works with my iPad and iPhone.
Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: schild on June 04, 2012, 10:30:01 AM Smart glass is rather cool. It also undercuts the shit out of WII U. How? Do people really still want this gimmicky shit? How's the Wii selling? Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: Fabricated on June 04, 2012, 10:37:19 AM This is the saddest Microsoft E3 presentation I've seen in years.
"Hey, you wanna pull up a map of the Game of Thrones universe being live updated by some wage slave data entry grunt? "Hey, if you pay hundreds of dollars for a fucking Windows 8 tablet you can have some useless utility for games! Hang on guys, I know this is the 200th time we've played this map, but lemme pull up a useless map of this ship and read lore!" "Here's some shit that Netflix was doing like 3 years ago!" Ascend looked AWFUL. Like pre-beta awful. Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: Fabricated on June 04, 2012, 10:37:32 AM Also: IE for Xbox. lol
Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: schild on June 04, 2012, 10:45:46 AM Thanks for that, I'm not watching any of this shit.
Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: Merusk on June 04, 2012, 10:54:32 AM MS will do another "OMG IT'S KINECT!" press show. So far you've been pretty correct. Just about every game that's had a demo instead of being just a trailer has shown how it works with X-box I'll confess I'm intrigued by the South Park game, though. Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: Fabricated on June 04, 2012, 11:02:23 AM Matt Stone and Trey Parker do not want to do South Park anymore and have not wanted to for something like 5-6 years now.
They looked flat out pained to be doing this game. Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: Mrbloodworth on June 04, 2012, 11:09:49 AM Smart glass is rather cool. It also undercuts the shit out of WII U. How? Do people really still want this gimmicky shit? How's the Wii selling? I don't know if people want it. I may, it had some neat features in the home entertainment realm. It undercuts WII-U because it looks like a direct answer to it. I wonder if Nintendo has something else about WII-U to show. I think the WII does well as far as sales go. Two second google numbers: Quote Worldwide sales figures Wii – 95.85 million as of 31 March 2012[8] Xbox 360 – 65.8 million as of 12 January 2012[52] PlayStation 3 – 63.9 million as of 31 March 2012[5 Matt Stone and Trey Parker do not want to do South Park anymore and have not wanted to for something like 5-6 years now. They looked flat out pained to be doing this game. The intro joke was rather brilliant. I don't know about this "They don't want to do it anymore", they could remedy that easily. Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: Fabricated on June 04, 2012, 11:13:54 AM If you're making tens of millions a year reliably churning out shit and signed a really long contract I imagine it's hard to just quit.
It's pretty clear they want to do ANYTHING but South Park. The only time I've seen them look remotely happy in interviews is the whole phase where their musical, "The Book of Mormon" was doing ridiculously well. Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: Merusk on June 04, 2012, 11:22:20 AM Matt Stone and Trey Parker do not want to do South Park anymore and have not wanted to for something like 5-6 years now. They looked flat out pained to be doing this game. I know that, but I'll cry for them when they stop signing the renewal contracts and walk away from the money. They haven't yet and they signed a renewal agreement through 2016 just last year. Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: Draegan on June 04, 2012, 01:23:05 PM New Simcity looks amazing.
Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: Trippy on June 04, 2012, 01:32:45 PM Also: IE for Xbox. lol That actually is a big deal. Here's what I wrote back in 2006 :awesome_for_real:Honestly, I think we are getting closer and closer to a merge. Pretty soon it wont be console vs PC, cause they console will be your PC. Look at xbox live on the 360, this is the first step IMO to merging the two machines. How long is it going to be really until we have one box and a nice TV? Not long. Also, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD GIVE ME A MOUSE AND KEYBOARD FOR MY XBOX. Not going to happen as long as Microsoft can and continues to charge monopoly prices for its OS. It would be financial suicide for MS to allow people to run general applications on the Xbox/Xbox 360. Just imagine what would happen to MS's (and Intel's) stock if you could run IE and hook up a printer to a $299 Xbox 360.So for MS to put IE on the Xbox to me means they see the writing on wall and the Windows gravy train at the consumer level is coming to an end. Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: Fabricated on June 04, 2012, 02:01:11 PM Yeah...but no.
Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: luckton on June 04, 2012, 04:22:32 PM So far you've been pretty correct. Just about every game that's had a demo instead of being just a trailer has shown how it works with X-box It's almost a repeat of last year's E3. Hell, this comic was made last year, and it's still holds true today: (http://i.imgur.com/LwZ3a.gif) Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: MisterNoisy on June 04, 2012, 05:57:24 PM Watch Dogs looks amazing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=FcMRkyoHKeA).

Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: ffc on June 05, 2012, 12:38:46 AM Watch Dogs looks amazing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=FcMRkyoHKeA). Where did this come from? I liked the clip from the start, then from 6:30 onward my jaw dropped and hasn't closed. And I didn't see any bullet sponges. Still can't believe how good it all looked. Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: Fabricated on June 05, 2012, 06:26:36 AM So is watchdogs next gen or current gen?
Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: schild on June 05, 2012, 06:27:21 AM Awesome gen. Who knows.
(In the other thread it says current gen, that thread down in PC Gaming, that I'm about to lock). Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: MisterNoisy on June 05, 2012, 06:31:13 AM Watch Dogs looks amazing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=FcMRkyoHKeA). Where did this come from? I liked the clip from the start, then from 6:30 onward my jaw dropped and hasn't closed. And I didn't see any bullet sponges. Still can't believe how good it all looked. I had much the same reaction - my jaw hit the floor once he hacked the traffic signals. They showed it at the Ubi conference, and while what they showed was running on PC, they've listed platforms as PC/360/PS3. I'm kind of surprised that something that clearly has a LOT of money wrapped up in it has been so far under the radar until now. I wonder if this is what they did with all that work on Splinter Cell: Conviction that got canned when they shuffled it off to another studio and rebooted it. Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: Mrbloodworth on June 05, 2012, 06:57:32 AM Sony E3 2012 Press Conference (http://youtu.be/xUlcXHPWJso?hd=1)
Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: Fabricated on June 05, 2012, 07:14:09 AM I like how the character benevolently saved the guy who was trying to revive his girlfriend who seems to have been killed in uh, you know, the fucking traffic accident HE CAUSED.
It's super cool, but it reeks of scripting. I'll be truly impressed if you can wait for the guy to actually get there and THEN pull some shit. edit: Also let me spoil what I can 100% guarantee is going to happen in The Last of Us - The Dad is going to die heroically at the end. Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: luckton on June 05, 2012, 07:44:54 AM Sony E3 2012 Press Conference (http://youtu.be/xUlcXHPWJso?hd=1) tl;dr version: (http://i.minus.com/iCXX1fHU2RUXn.gif) Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: schild on June 05, 2012, 08:20:37 AM Sony is so bad at everything. So we have Beyond (Two Souls) which will just devolve into madness. The Last of Us which will be utterly amazing. Another fucking God of War. And fuckall else. Yay.
Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: Mrbloodworth on June 05, 2012, 08:21:54 AM The last of us looks great.
Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: schild on June 05, 2012, 08:22:08 AM Oh and Jack Tretton has the charisma of the World's Ugliest Dog. They need to get a booth babe to just go up on stage, scream GAMES and then have a trailer. Rinse and repeat. No one fucking likes executives. E3 isn't an "industry" thing anymore. No one wants your shitty subscription service. Pack of idiots.
Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: Fabricated on June 05, 2012, 08:49:49 AM The Microsoft presentation was one of the saddest things I've seen in years. The Sony one was nearly as bad.
Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: tmp on June 05, 2012, 08:59:55 AM So is watchdogs next gen or current gen? prerendered gen, perhaps.i fear the game may turn out too much of a pre-scripted "use this ability here or else, watch 5 minutes of cutscene, repeat" sequence with some window dressing, but i guess give it a couple of years and we'll see. Maybe. Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: Simond on June 05, 2012, 09:02:17 AM Stolen from elsewhere re: MS presentation -

Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: Sky on June 05, 2012, 09:31:38 AM Last of Us gameplay I watched about 30 seconds, and decided I'm going into blackout mode on this game. We turned on the tv in the middle of the AC3 naval battle and both of us were impressed, though I kept trying to figure out how much was actual gameplay. Just looked stunning, and I was hoping it was a new Pirates! title, honestly. Then they wrapped up the clip and said AC3 and I was all "Whu?".The naval battle in Assassin's Creed 3 looks amazingly fun. We'll see. Last of Us looked cool until they bleep bombed the shit out of things and I had to mute the tv before my cat clawed my face off. Dead Space 3 also got unnecessarily swear-bomby. I guess swearing is cool again? And Watch Dogs...yeah. Please let them not screw that one up too much. Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: MisterNoisy on June 05, 2012, 10:16:13 AM Nintendo managed to complete the trifecta - all three console platform holders managed to disappoint mightily this year.

:drill: :drill: :drill: Seriously, 2008 called. They want their E3 back. Wouldn't it just be cheaper to have a fancy press day at these company's respective headquarters instead of trying to parade out the same bullshit they've done the last four times? Oh maybe, I dunno, make it less about press and more about gaming, a la PAX? Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: Simond on June 05, 2012, 10:52:30 AM E3-2012.jpg

Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: Fabricated on June 05, 2012, 01:06:48 PM Watch Dogs is about the only thing presented so far that I'm like "Wow I wanna play that", and it again, reeked of a highly-scripted demo.
Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: pxib on June 05, 2012, 01:17:56 PM highly-scripted demo Meh. We all know the most fun you'll have is causing accidents like that while you're crossing the street and watching the whole thing from your severed head as it sails away.Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: HaemishM on June 05, 2012, 01:27:42 PM The Watch Dogs trailer made me shit myself with glee.

It says a lot that Ubisoft had the best conference. They ate everybody's lunch and dominated the conferences the others they cameo-ed in. If Konami had done one and it was competently managed I would say we are near the end times. I can't wait to see "Watch Dogs" multiplayer. Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: Kageru on June 05, 2012, 07:21:40 PM Watch Dogs was extremely pretty, using the hacking angle to add a strategic layer could be interesting and even the dialogue was tight and well done. More motivation for a PC update. Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: Margalis on June 05, 2012, 09:23:32 PM P-100 for Wii U by Platinum Games. Not shown at Nintendo presser. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mr4D4YZQ9uY To me this looks like a Neo-Geo game from 1994 brought into the modern era. (That's a good thing in my eyes) More general thoughts: All conferences sucked, IPs being ridden into the ground, long costly development times means most of what we see at E3 is from the last E3. MS has shown essentially the exact same lineup for 3 years now, zero big surprises, rumored surprises (Retro game, Gaikai/D3 for PS3) all no-shows. That said maybe a lot of stuff on the show floor will be cool, I'll find out since I'm a cool guy who goes to E3!

Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: Fabricated on June 06, 2012, 11:09:09 AM I'm not worried about Square games looking pretty. They have good artists; character designers non-withstanding. They've done a lot with a little in the past.
I just want their games to be NOT BAD. THEIR GAMES HAVE BEEN BAD. STOP MAKING BAD GAMES. Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: HaemishM on June 06, 2012, 11:10:27 AM A pretty, linear prison is still a prison. :why_so_serious:
Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: Paelos on June 06, 2012, 11:30:29 AM I can't figure out if it would be better for gaming to have all current game companies hopelessly fail in the next 3 years, or if gaming would be replaced by something else in that case.
It's a dilemma. Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: schild on June 06, 2012, 11:33:48 AM The death of current console devs would unquestionably be a good thing.

Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: Mrbloodworth on June 07, 2012, 08:06:28 AM Quote Watch Dogs exploded out of nowhere earlier on Monday, impressing us with its slick portrayal of cyber-crime and assassination in an always-online Chicago. The Ubisoft press conference demo left everyone with questions about the final few moments. In a scene that doesn’t appear in the demo footage that Ubisoft have since released, the camera pulled back from the action and started following a different person entirely. Was it the same player taking charge of another character, or a second player controlling their own avatar in the same city? It was a second player. VG247 have spoken to him. His name is Dominic Guay, executive producer on the game. “Online is in the DNA of Watchdogs,” he said. “It’s super important to us. We couldn’t announce our game and not at least tease online.” “Basically, Jonathan, our creative director was playing agent Pearce at the conference, and I was playing another character, who hacked into him, who had his own objective and we crossed paths. It was basically two players who crossed paths with their own objectives.” In the conference demo, the character that Guay was playing watched the carnage that Jonathan was causing from afar. After apparently scanning Johnathan’s brain, he turned and vaulted over some rooftops in a different direction entirely, it sounds now as though he was pursuing an entirely different mission in the same city. It’s a situation that doesn’t fit neatly into your traditional “co-op” and “competitive” multiplayer pigeon holes, but the idea of players interacting through co-incidence and experiencing the collateral damage of each other’s independent objectives is intriguing. “We definitely want to blend in multiplayer online and singleplayer in ways that haven’t been done before,” says Guay. We’ll be hunting down more info on Watch Dogs as E3 progresses. Meanwhile, here’s the Watch Dogs demo, albeit without that multiplayer tease that Ubisoft threw into their live presentation at the end of Monday’s conference. http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/06/06/watch-dogss-second-character-was-another-player-online-is-in-the-dna-of-watchdogs/ Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: Paelos on June 07, 2012, 08:23:05 AM I'm intrigued, but it's Ubisoft, so the chasity belt they attach to this thing will probably kill it for me.

I believe my sig quote from Ironwood has a new challenger. I have no ego on this matter. Knock yourself out. It's a good line.

Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: Lantyssa on June 08, 2012, 10:49:22 PM The only way that configuration could be more fucking evil is if they hired the Good Doctor and our Favorite Banned Vole Fucker to create an MMOG. They already have the English Guy With Sunglasses, so it'd be about perfect.Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: IainC on June 08, 2012, 11:43:44 PM I tried Planetside 2. The shooting works, that is good. You should have said hi, I was on the same stand giving demos of Bullet Run. I got a UE4 demo (the only time I got away from the booth as it happens) and it was amazing. Ran like crap on the demo machine but the tools are incredible. Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: Lakov_Sanite on June 10, 2012, 09:19:29 AM Why would vivendi want to sell off a cash cow?
Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: schild on June 10, 2012, 02:01:27 PM Why would vivendi want to sell off a cash cow? Because that cashcow has peaked and I'd wager not a single soul inside Vivendi likes anyone at Activision, the top manufacturer of deadbeats and assholes in the gaming industry.Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: WayAbvPar on June 11, 2012, 04:02:44 PM E3.gif (http://i.minus.com/in7S2KaP1yaz4.gif) Late to the party, but I can't stop laughing at this. Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: eldaec on June 12, 2012, 12:52:42 PM PC/console/angry-birds* gaming is dying.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3HfmcDRbn8 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3HfmcDRbn8) Good Christ, when did they decide to let Eli Roth direct a Tomb Raider game? What... the... fuck? Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: KallDrexx on June 12, 2012, 07:09:49 PM Some studio head really enjoyed uncharted
Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: Sky on June 13, 2012, 06:24:29 AM I was pretty bummed when I saw that footage. Tomb Raider Underworld was a really great game hampered by some awful action sequences. I got stalled at the extensive motorcycle stuff and never went back to it, and it's still the showpiece of 3d gaming.
Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: Bunk on June 13, 2012, 09:04:28 AM There's some impressive looking stuff in that trailer, but nothing about it made me even remotely think of Tomb Raider. Not even her boobs.
Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: UnSub on June 13, 2012, 10:13:02 AM Good Christ, when did they decide to let Eli Roth direct a Tomb Raider game? What... the... fuck? I enjoyed the comments that went, "I've never liked Lara Croft because she was always so good at everything, but now she's bleeding and crying and fighting off rapists, she's more believable". Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: Paelos on June 13, 2012, 10:52:27 AM That trailer was terrible.

Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: Yegolev on June 25, 2012, 06:45:43 PM I made a good choice going on vacation to the beach and a national park during all this.
Just based on what little I have gathered, gaming has almost grown up. Sometimes we will get a Dark Knight but usually we will get a Failure To Launch or Leonard Part VI. Long live the garage game developer! Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: Ironwood on June 26, 2012, 02:41:43 AM Speaking as an old man, I dislike that 'grown up' has become a synonym for 'Shit.'
Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: HaemishM on June 26, 2012, 08:47:31 AM It's actually a synonym for money-grubbing shitcocks getting involved on the business end and focus-group strip-mining every available commodity for the last goddamn micro-penny they can get out of a property.
But "shit" does encapsulate it succinctly. Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: Yegolev on June 26, 2012, 12:21:44 PM I don't know if there is a separate term for maturity of an industry versus a person. However, both become more hateful and loathsome over time.
Title: Re: E3 2012 Post by: Lantyssa on June 26, 2012, 03:39:31 PM Kind of like "Elder Game"?
