E3 Discussion Thread.

[Bonta Kun]

Horizon Zero Dawn was def the biggest thing so far, it's got the wow factor I haven't seen or felt in a long time.
There are alot of games than can get me excited but to get me really excited, last game to do that had to be Final Fantasy XV(or Versus as it was called way back then)

Other big things, FF VII remake ofc, thats big, big news and very much looking forward to that.
I loved my Chocobo breeding and racing and it still holds one of my fondest memories, when I first used Knights of the Round, CAN NOT WAIT TO SEE THAT IN ALL IT'S HD GLORY!

For Honor is also the other game thats got my interest. Knights vs Samurai vs Vikings, whats not to like
I know most will be in for the Samurai but personally in it for the Knights, loved when the guy flips his sword and whacks the dude with the hilt.

Overall a pretty good E3 I'd say.

A fair few good games to look forward.

No one really expected anything from Nintendo, since we knew nothing was coming anytime soon that we didn't already know.

Just wanna add that no one is fighting Nintendo this generation unlike last gen with the whole motion control copycat bullshit. Nintendo this gen is fairly secured in a way that they have their legion of nintendo fans that continues to support their franchise but lost their casual demographic they had with Wii and NDS to mobile games and naming their console WiiU.

[Chosen_Hero]

My list:

1) Sony - They had a great showing, announcing and showing:

The Good:

A) gameplay of The Last Guardian (finally those waiting for it can now breath easily).

B) gameplay of Horizon.

C) Final Fantasy VII remake announcement, that they were the ones to reveal it counts for a lot seeing as it will keep the game closely related to PS even if it does arrive on the Xbox.

D) Shenmue kickstarter announcement, same as FF7, also by kickstarting it it gives the fans who support and fund it a sense of accomplishment that they were the ones that made the game possible.

E) The partnership with Activision, sure activision is viewed as one of the two demons of the industry alongside EA but, there is still no doubt that making CoD more closely related to the PS4 is a good bussiness decision, whether you like CoD or not.

F) The partnership with Disney Infinity, same as CoD, also the fact that this is the year for Star Wars doesn't hurt.

E) A la carté subscription (was that how it was called?) For PS Vue is a pretty damn good bussiness decision.

F) The partnership with EA, seriously, making Star Wars Battlefront closely relates to the PS4 is one of the best things they could have done from a business perspective.

G) The Uncharted demo, simply stunning, also that little hiccuo at the beginning of the demo (as has happened before) is a preety good sign that it was an actual demo actually being played on PS4 hardware and not a dubious scripted demo, also the game seems more like Uncharted 2 which considering everyone keeps mentioning it as the best one in the series (personally I loved the psychological aspect of Uncharted 3 a bit more but that's just me) which is pretty awesome.

H) Dreams - slight demo, also just imagine the creativity that will come out of it.


The Bad:

A) No exclusives shown to release this year, which we already knew about and really, at the end of the day doesn't matter if they don't do so since the developers are taking their time to craft those games as best as they can and really if they were to rush them out and had another Driveclub on their hands everyone would bitch about ir even thought they were then ones being impatient, amazing games take time to make so calm down and wait for them and besides considering the scope of the multiplatform games that have and will release you'll be too preoccupied to notice their absence.


2) Bethesda - All of it was good especially Fallout 4, only reason it didn't take the tops spot was because Sony had actual surprises (Bethesdas announcement were confirmed before their reveal so the surprise was not as strong) the no one either believed were going to be there even if there were rumors they would be and because of how improbable that string of surprises would play out.

3) Microsoft - They definitely had a better E3 than last year but it was also almost the same as last year, still not a bad conference.

4) Ubisoft - They as usual showed plenty of games but still aslo made a lot of the same mistakes they always make.

5) EA - Mass Effect Andromeda, Need for Speed and Star Wars Battlefront were the onky thing that I was personally interested in and yes they too made the same mistakes again.

6) Square Enix - Theu had good games but, their conference was a little too old school and boring there was too much talking and not enough showing, if it hadn't been for the KH3 trailer it would have tied with Nintendo.

7) Nintendo - while they showed games it still felt like they showed nothing, too much focus of Amiibos, no enough compelling games (although the Nintendo hardcore fanboys will disagree), also it felt like they are giving up on the Wii U, Starfox is cool and all but It just felt like a remake of the N64 version instead of a new game (even if Miyamoto says otherwise) still it was pretty cool but I don't feel like it was enough (especially as someone who at some point might want to get a Wii U), as for Xenoblades chronicles X it was just more of the same we keep getting bombarded with so nothing new there. Seriously, Nintendos video wasn't bad, it was just dissapointing.

They need to announce a physical release for PS4 to stir more interest. Some people are holding out for it before deciding to pledge.

[serenade_beta]

E3 started? And it already ended?

Looks like nothing interesting really happened, so all's good, I guess. Besides, Nintendo Direct is really enough and does the same job.
Looking at a summary...
Star Fox -> Not interested
Zelda -> Not that interested
Yoshi -> Not really
Yokai Watch -> I haven't even gotten around to Omega Ruby and Sapphire...
Mario Tennis -> Nah
Mario Maker -> I'll watch videos of what others make, but...

Fire Emblem -> Probably will eventually buy it either way (not sure about Megami x FE)
Xenoblade X -> At least I know it is coming out
Mario and Luigi -> Probably will buy, since I bought the past 4

Which means so far...:
Always: Smash Bros
Summer 2015 (Now) -> Monster Hunter 4G, Splatoon, Bravely Second
Fall 2015 -> FE; (Bravely Second -> FE)
Winter 2015 -> Megami x FE?, Monster Hunter X, Xenoblade X; (4G -> X)
Spring 2016 -> Mario and Luigi; (Probably will be finished with FE by then)

...Not bad.

(And the other consoles don't really matter. Glad poor Vita got some love, though I bet TV is still in its grave)

I am happy have FF7 but I've got some reserves about it. :/

She is the worse mc in FF history starring in the worse received FF games outside of mobile and I the main games, her only appeal was her design which they milked to death in the cosplay sim Lightning Returns a design which was supposed to make her be female Cloud (yes, this is a thing that was actually said, so when people call her a Cloud clone it's literal).

Had her story stopped at the first FF XIII game she would have been more tolerable but the games insisted on making her into a messiah of that world which got old really fast considering the bad taste she left on everyone from the first game.

Again she could have been tolerable and everyone who dislikes her would accept her more if they had held back with her and her "story", if anything blame the director of those three games who I (and many others) hope never gets his hands on a KH game or another main title ever again, his obssesion with Lightning was off putting.

If you look at the Kickstarted page, the pert for pledging $60 is a physical copy.

I remember that comment. Supposedly, most of her "femininity" was transferred to Fang.

There was also the rumor that Toriyama got angry when he found out that they were going to enlarge Lightning's breast for LR.

ff13 sucked and they insisted on shoving sequels that no one even wanted out.

If Valve ever announces it, especially in the way I fantasize them announcing it, with the G-Man making an appearance, I will absolutely lose it.

Basically, yep. I was hoping we'd get VII, VIII, Terry's Wonderland, DQ Monsters 2 3DS or anything else... but that was just disappointing...

Localization news is about as big as a new game for lots of NA Dragon Quest fans... though to be fair... I couldn't wait to the extent of buying a Japanese new 3DS to play the games... but English is always nice...

Oh no, nothing interesting, just some announcements that redefine gaming for all time. Nothing important.

[DragoonKain3]

I'm really, REALLY sad there was no hint or mention of SaGa in E3. I know it's extremely niche, but c'mon Square... throw us RPG masochists a bone here. It's still one of your long running IPs, so I thought at least one part of the teaser refers to SaGa. XD

That said, this E3 was saved for me by one mention of a game... Project Setsuna. A new S-E IP that features BEAUTIFUL artwork, and the promise that it's supposed to capture the JRPGs of yesteryear. Sounds familiar? Yeah, Bravely Default exceeded expectations, so I'm glad S-E has found faith in the oldschool to make another classic style RPG game.

The rest of stuff revealed in E3... eh. Shenmue, eh, now I remember why Yakuza didn't interest me. Mass Effect, didn't even got far into the third one. FF7 remake, looks cool but I have a feeling they're going to butcher the battle system as they 'modernize' the ATB system it had.

Further information about Xenoblade, Star Ocean and Fire Emblem was nice though, as at least we have at least a release time frame.

[Rising Dragon]

The E3 games I'd like to get are as follows:

Fallout 4
Doom 4
Final Fantasy VII Remake
Kingdom Hearts III
Dark Souls III
Gears of War 4
Legend of Zelda (WiiU)
Triforce Heroes

Fallout 4 is the one I want the most, followed probably by Zelda WiiU. Sadly, can't afford anything on the list right now.

[Chaos2Frozen]

Starcraft 2 "Whispers of Oblivion" three prologue missions beta

[The One Above God]

Holy sh*t! FF7 remake, KH3, Fallout 4, Dark Souls III, and also Dishonored 2?! What a time to be alive .

[SuitUp]

I've never played KH, but this probably would be a good time as any to start, in anticipation of KH3

[kk2extreme]

Now they just need to do FFVI remake

it's a great series. I thought the premise sounded stupid when I first heard about. Then my grandma got me it for Christmas one year. I started playing and I could barely put it down.

HD version were released recently for the ps3

[Mr Hat and Clogs]

This E3 is a good time to be a gamer. Well, at least on the surface... before the suits ruin everything.
