E3 2011: Predictions, Pre/Post Discussion and More!!

[Arius]

Voice controlled Bing on Kinect. Bad idea...

"What are you up to?"

"Not much, just playing some X-Box."

"So, did you hear about that guy next door-"

"You mean Peng?"

"-getting arrested for having pics of child porn?"

"XBOX SEARCHING"

"Oh god, no!"

Halo 4 to 6 coming. Another trilogy. That was their big reveal. I am pretty damn disappointed with their show. Really REALLY disappointed.

[Vigafre]

I wasn't disappointed. Sure, I didn't care about most of the stuff, but I wasn't expecting anything either, so the stuff I found cool was actually cool to me.

[Elomin Sha]

Hopefully I won't miss much on my way home from work tomorrow from Nintendo's conference.

Peter Moore attempted to repeat South Park's line from previous episode. Not sure good idea.

[xdeathknightx]

Total Biscuit had an awesome picture for the minecraft kinect player on his twitter.

[MowDownJoe]

So, I tuned in for part of the livestream, and wow... I have never been so underwhelmed by a Tim Schafer game. That looks... urgh. Kinect is an impressive piece of tech, as all the clever Kinect hacks have proven, but as a gaming device... I just don't see it.

[xdeathknightx]

Skyrim on gametrailers looked great.

[the amativeness]

I for one can't wait to see the opening cut-scene to Halo 5...

Wait... You don't mean?...

[xdeathknightx]

Ok so Need for Speed has sections where you get out of your car and do quick time events.... so that happened.


BF3: Double rainbow.... all the way! My dear god how hard will this game slap CoD in the face.

[Crimson Chin]

Microsoft: Bit of Minecraft and some Zoe Wanamaker action, rest; snore.

[Valliac]

That NFS: The Run game looked alright....

....if they removed the NFS tag on it. Seriously, NFS used to be about RACING. Not outrunning people. Fast and Furious: The Game is all this has turned into.

And in response to the poll: There's no option for "Writing for a gaming website". =P

Working because my job is related to it would be your option then

[Valliac]

But my ACTUAL job isnt, though...huh.

Well I guess you're right on that, then.

[Kyogissun]

>Minecraft on the 360
Thank you Notch.
>Halo 4

>Battlefield 3 footage, Open Beta in September
THANK YOU GOD!!!!
>Overstrikers
More liek Call of Borderlands: Sci-fi... War... Blagh, it looks cool. Hoping it's like Borderlands.
>Tomb Raider
Holy shit, cool, more interested in it now
>NFS The Run
Mite b cool
>Kingdoms of Amalur
BioWare Story Quality + Bethesda Expansiveness + God of War gameplay = WRPG orgasm of greatness?

Pretty pleased with E3 overall so far, Ubisoft keynote's in fifteen, only really looking forward to news about Rayman Origins.

[Arius]

Mr Caffeine is hilarious, that crowd sucks.

[Valliac]

This man annoys me to no end. New games, less bad jokes plz.

[GreigKM]

I've been yelled at by two people on Twitter, for future reference enough to make me stop, so now this thread gets me.
Did anyone else notice how great the Ubisoft lineup is in comparison to the EA one? Seems they win out of the two big devs. And even before the fact I can kinda say Microsoft lost out of the three console manufacturers, what a poor presentation...

[xdeathknightx]

Mr Caffeine was soooooo bad. Oh my god.

GreigKM: Hmmm BF3 kinda swayed me to EA. Ubisoft had more fun games but no whopper like BF3
And yeah like I said I was disappointed with the Microsoft one.


Uncharted 3 looks good. On the fence about Resistance 3

[Arius]

PSVita on at&t.

I thought they wanted to make a profit?

[xdeathknightx]

Since the iphone and android phones later on I don't think there is any chance of making money on a handheld. Sony has had some nice games (uncharted 3 and infamous 2) but so far it is pretty boring.

Vita graphics do look good I must say

[GreigKM]

Dammit, Sony, you did much better than Microsoft, but week competition for Nintendo yet again... I mean, come on, I want a 3G Vita! Verizon, man!

[semysane]

Michel Ancel says that Beyond Good and Evil 2 is still in development, but won't be coming out on this console generation http://ca.kotaku.com/5809220/beyond-goo ... r-xbox-360

I have the feeling it will be the new Duke Nukem Forever. Often talked about but never happening until someone finally picks it up in a number of years.


Sadly I didn't make it to the end of the Sony conference, it got late, they were going on and on about the Vita and I headed to bed. Sony had a better line-up then Microsoft (come on Microsoft give me some exclusives to play on my 360) but like Greig said Nintendo will blow them both out of the water. It was known for a while that Nintendo was debuting their new console so you'd better step up.

And I expect Nintendo to keep in touch with their new fanbase but also have more for their original fanbase with the new console.

[Valliac]

So in between conferences.

Here's a cat.
