E3 Thread: 2012 Edition (Conference Times in First Post)

You do know that Chris is one of the three playable characters, right?

No I did not But now that I know..Woo hoo!

 

[Matt]

I have not been following any of the buzz this year. What exactly does Sony have lined up? Anything that is raising eyebrows or have they been keeping most of it close to the chest?

I am guessing that there will be a big push on Vita and not much else...

 

[Speedball]

The Last of Us, Probably Spider-Man. Not too sure either actually...

 

[Matt]

I forgot about The Last Of Us. That'll probably be their big title that theyh end the show with. Still, part of me is hoping for something like Uncharted 4 or some kind of similar big, last hurrah, surprise title reveal.

Jason Rubin's talent is going to waste as the president of THQ.

Jak and Daxte 4 life.

I'm sure it will be a lot of Vita, Metal Gear, Battle Royale (Vita version as well), more Vita, The Last of Us, maybe streaming/GaiKai announcement, maybe a price cut some where, Jack Tretton rubbing his hands in nervousness, and a surprise or two.

 

[Crockett]

I'm pretty sure they're going to unveil Quantic Dream's next game Beyond: Two Souls. Besides that maybe gameplay footage from The Last of Us, God of War: Ascension, Sly 4 etc.

It's hanging out with The Last Guardian and Agent.

That game is never coming out.

 

[Soapy]

I hope you like waiting. They already said it wouldn't be at E3 this year. :/

 

[X Knight]

and that was one of the reasons why I bought a PS3........lol

MS have no idea about exclusives outside of Halo & Gears although these are as important as exclusives get. They have no option to ever stop making either of them. Arcade exclusives, timed exclusives & middle of the road exclusives don't register in the scheme of things now that there is so much quality multiplatform choice out there. Only the AAA+ franchises like Uncharted & God of War make waves and I can't believe they haven't made a new one since 2006. Fair comment above that it's coming to the end of the generation but they really had the bull by the horns about 2007/8/9ish and they just.. let it go! Kind of how Sony let it go at the beginning of the generation.

 

[X Knight]

Sony can take advantage of that by making their presentation focus on GAMES!!!

 

[TX85]

So I'm guessing the Xbox smart glass is a foreshadowing of Xbox 720's controller&type of features!?,Looks cool&fancy high-tech But I ain't sure about it,IF they still have a regular controller or at least 360's being compatible like Nintendo is doing with Wii U..Then yeah I guess I'd be cool with it!!

I wonder when Star Wars 1313 is being revealed today,can't wait!!

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

For my Splinter Cell homies...http://popwatch.ew.com/2012/06/04/splinter-cell-blacklist-video-michael-ironside/

I'm even more confused by the Sam Fisher voice thing, now, honestly.

 

[Soapy]

So no one else was put off by Resident Evil 6 being a straight up third person shooter with "cinematic" garbage thrown in?

 

[TX85]

Which they will,The only big features I can see them doing is Skype&a big update for their web browser..Which would be awesome to me!!

Maybe some big new changes(more interactivity)for PS Home..Which is still gaming!

Naa,liked it!!

 

[Donut]

Is it safe to say that. South Park stole the show ?

 

[KALEL114]

Parker and Stone did with their comment. Very funny.

 

[Master Chief]

Hahah yeah, and to have them working with Obsidian? Feels like I'm dreaming.

The cool factor of seeing a gang of zombies coming up the stairs was overshadowed by the hilarity of the freeway explosions. Da f**k kind of cargo was that plane hauling? Hahah I'm done with RE.

I think I've come into terms that the direction the series wants to head is more action-oriented than survival horror. I'm still the ever optimistic in which I hope that the demo was just to show off the action-packed side because I'm not sure I could stand it if the whole game is like that.

Also I find it funny that they mentioned Leon's section is more of a classic survival horror in the level of the classic RE games, if that is their definition then Chris' section must be action you'd find normally in a Michael Bay movie.

I don't think I've ever seen a more underwhelming conference. No, not disastrous like Sony 2006, or Nintendo 2008 (2009?). But just an utterly uninspiring showing.
