Sound off!
Aw crap, wrong board. SOMEONE MOVE THIS
Quote from: Maelstrom on June 15, 2015, 11:06:12 AMWrong thread, but Microsoft E3 analysis
Recore -- I mean, Inafune and MP devs are nice, but some gameplay would have been nice
Halo 5 looks pretty nice. I mean, the gameplay was scripted, but it looks cool. The mandatory 4P co-op may be a dealbreaker, though.
Backward compatibility is nice, but it's really just inserting a disc to download the digital game for free. Still pretty cool.
"Play the games you own without having to pay for them" Ouch. That's got to hurt, Sony.
New controller? Nice, but not that needed.
The Division -- Lost all my interest by taking way too long to come out.
Rainbow Six -- Meh
Dark Souls III -- Gameplay might be nice.
Plants VS Zombies something or other 2 -- See above.
*To many generic indie games*
Cuphead -- WTH
NOOO EARLY ACCESS INFECTS XBOX TODAY
New game from the DAYZ creator. He's apparently not finishing his previous game, and instead creating another game way bigger than he can finish.
That's it from RARE? A game collection where one of the selling points is 10.000 gamerscore? Booooo.
Wait, they have a new game? It's just a generic pirate MMO? Boooo.
Oh that lame fable game again? Booo.
Rise of the Tomb Raider -- Did someone say Uncharted? Looks nice, but I'd hesitate to call that gameplay.
Microsoft has a contract with both Oculus and Valve for VR
Ok, the Hololens is pretty dang cool. Wait, that's just when your wearing the Hololens? Call me when you don't need that.
Why do they even bother having a guy hold the controller, when it's so obviously scripted?
Pretty good, but came up lacking when Microsoft brought up CEOs of EA and Ubi, along with some of those indie games.
edit: Forgot Forza. Apparently Microsoft doesn't know E3 isn't a car show.
Moved from Nintendo E3 board to a more appropriate spot.
The controller looks awesome, I don't know why you're meh about it. Also the pirate game looks super cool, and you clearly never played the previous Tomb Raider because that's exactly how it was. Very cinematic experience in certain sections like that but it's definitely gameplay, lots of QTE etc.
BC is a nice implementation, don't have to rebuy games I already own to play them again unlike *certain other companies*
Style of Cuphead looks really interesting, glad to see something unique.
Now for more hype, MGSV trailer:
Also, did nobody watch all of the amazing Bethesda stuff yesterday? Fallout 4 sounds amazing. Customizable power armor, huge building tools, OVER THE SHOULDER CONVERSATIONS
Fallout 4 looks great and I'm pretty damn excited for it.
So no Diddy Kong Racing.....or would that be under Nintendo?
Nintendo owns Diddy Kong, so if that were to somehow happen they would be the ones announcing it. I don't know why they would try to have a semi-redundant racing title alongside Mario Kart though, if anything they would hopefully do some Diddy Kong adventure game or something else new.

The controller looked pretty nice, but was it really that necessary? It just seems like a high end version of the normal XBone controller, and not that unique.
That pirate game didn't look that interesting. It seems more like a pirate take on all those early access MMOs on steam (DAYZ, The Forest, ARK: Survival Evolved) than an original game.
No, I haven't played the previous Tomb Raider game, due to the fact that I still live at home and it doesn't seem like the kind of game for me. I didn't realize that it was that cinematic, so I guess I was wrong. I just don't think it's the kind of game I would love.
Cuphead looks unique, but I had a hard time telling exactly what was going on.
Quote from: KefkaticFanatic on June 15, 2015, 12:22:39 PMNow for more hype, MGSV trailer:
That is how you make a trailer. I'd buy it, but I haven't played a single MGS game. :( (And I still live at home)
Mario Kart is pretty much the ultimate racing title for Nintendo, so they'd have to make DKR really stand out/interesting for it to sell other than going on the fact it's a Diddy Kong Racing game.
Honestly I don't need any other racing game after Mario Kart 8, they've fixed everything that was even remotely a problem in the older entries.
Eh, MK8 is still a little too loose for my tastes, but I'm all for more story based racing.
SO MUCH MASS EFFECT FOOTAGE
Need for Speed -- What a generic cgi trailer
Totally calling BS on that footage. It looks too much like watch dogs.
Starwars. Meh.
The story looks decent, but cliched.
Unravel looks pretty good. I enjoyed the dev's reactions more than the trailer
Garden warfare 2. The most serious of gamers played this a lot.
I'm more willing to belive that this is gameplay, but I don't see 4 people playing.
"Free content updates" It's EA. They'll find a way to make money off of this.
EA sports. double meh.
Football whatever it's called is beyond ugly.
"Last year, we downloaded our games more than 715 million times across our consumers"
"Truly original" "Minions"
Bad CGI trailer
First gameplay: KILL IT WITH FIRE
Spoiler

Looks like Dungeon Keeper Mobile
Ignored all the sports stuff.
Mirror's Edge 2 looks decent. I'd put myself as cautiously optimistic, but it's EA so I'll just go with cautious.
More boring sports stuff
Still no actual battlefront gameplay
Gameplay. Not sure if real.
MASS EFFECT HYPE
Battlefront looks amazing, I'm only slightly mad that there's no space battles now. It's exactly what I would want from massive Star Wars battle insanity.
Total free roaming Mirror's Edge sounds very cool, curious how that will end up.
I don't know why they hyped up TOR expansion that much, I was under the impression that the MMO was a flop but ah well :B
Nothing else was that notable to me, Unravel looks like a maybe could be good maybe just pretentious indie thing, and everything else was SPORTZ and casual filler
Note that EA as a larger entity usually has nothing to do with EA owned studio games being bad, that's just a neckbeard fantasy. Various interviews with developers has confirmed that if anything EA gives studios too much freedom, and they end up having shitty internal management that causes many of the things people complain about i.e. always online and DLC. Precisely the same deal with Rare and MS.
Maelstrom, do you even know what "gameplay footage" means? That doesn't automatically mean "live demo", it's just captured footage from a playable build of the game. It may or may not be what you would actually see at all times since they generally will have some camera manipulation to see a bit more than you would when playing, but it is representative of the actual game. When you start getting "in-engine", that just means they rendered something and yes, that is what is NOT gameplay.
Point taken. I guess I just question short vertical slices way too much.

Again, point taken. Yet, it seems that these seem to pop up in games the longer that EA owns them. And then the studios get closed down. Granted, that is just my uninformed opinion, so I may be terribly wrong.
It seems to me like it's just a running confusion between "EA makes things bad" and "large bueracracy makes things bad".
EDIT: Another year, another BG&E2 no show :(
Ghost Recon looked pretty neat though
Super Mario Maker might have just convinced me to buy a Wii U. I've always been at a state of "almost" buying one, but I think it might have pushed me over the edge. ;D
holy ACTUAL LAST GUARDIAN GAMEPLAY
EDIT: FFVII REMAKE U WOT M8
Sony's conference made me want a PS4. I have no idea why, but that second game caught my interest. The post-apocalyptic one with all the robotic wildlife.
My only complaint is the pacing. It moved at a breakneck speed up until Call of Duty. It never really regained that momentum until Uncharted was shown amidst technical difficulties.
Also: isn't Star Wars disney infinity just Lego Star Wars all over again, just more expensive and shorter?
And I just realized that the FFVII remake is just a timed exclusive.
That's pretty nice.

Lego portal hype
Square Enix is now showing the exact same trailers that were shown yesterday.

so little hype. :-\
Deus Ex has the illuminati.
Why.
I just stopped watching after KHIII, I got way too bored.
yeah the sole reason i watched was for kh3
And yeah we got a new trailer and a new world and... uhh... no release date...
Well, I left it up, but didn't watch most of it.
I didn't think it would be possible, but it looks like SE has beaten Nintendo for the worst press conference.
Nah Sony was super meh
Sony was very meh.
I dunno, there's still the PC showcase later today. Although they'd have to mess up pretty bad to do worse than SE...
...oh yeah, kinda forget about that.
I disagree. While I think that Sony moved too quickly, it was easily the best show so far. (I didn't see Bethesda's) There were a TON of new games, many of which had gameplay and not just CGI trailers. They only really stumbled when they spent too much time on Call of Duty and Disney Infinity.
The mere fact that they even mentioned The Last Guardian and Shenmue 3, let alone showed off gameplay for one and a trailer for the other, gives them best in show in my opinion.

um did we watch the same conference? Sony barely showed off anything for any of their games. No Man's Sky was ridiculously rushed. The only thing that saw a significant amount of gameplay was The Last Guardian. The one after it had a little bit, iirc, but other than that it was just "Here's this game! Moving on!"
But that attitude helped them. It made it seem like they had to shorten everything, or the conference would go on all night because there simply were just that many games.
Granted, the CoD and Dinf portions kind of ruined that feeling.
Nintendo, on the other hand, spent too much time on certain products we already knew too much about, which made it seem like they had nothing new to say at all.

Yeah, they showed a lot of shit, but they didn't go into any detail as to why I should give a shit and buy their product.
At least Nintendo spent time actually talking a little bit more about the few games that they did announce and made them sound appealing.
Sony showed the largest amount of interesting and new content. That's what made it easily the best actually, they gave quick looks at many things both close and far and let people know what to look more into for the rest of the week. There's not enough time in anyone's conferences to have some super in depth content unless they only go over like two games. The bigger demos are for later in the show with journalists.
But yea, Nintendo was laughably worthless yet again, with the only games to be remotely excited about being Paper Mario & Luigi and Star Fox. No exciting reveals or even vague announcements. I guess they're just stalling until they can scrap their flop of a console and move onto NX.
You guys must have not watched the Ubisoft conference, which was full of horrible jokes by the host and an embarassing singer, or the EA conference which was half EA Sports and had probably a 15 minute storytime with Pele.
EDIT: Oooh, SE announced release date of Just Cause 3, so that's pretty hype I would say.
EDIT 2: Wait what? You guys trash talked SE even with this trailer? I never played them but I was under the impression that most people have hype induced health issues when seeing anything regarding this game:
This year is a super good E3 for everyone but Nintendo :P
Yeah, the Kingdom Hearts III Trailer was pretty awesome. As was the FFVII remake trailer. I think the main problem was that they let some of their biggest titles out at the Sony Conference. Then they just replayed the trailers during their own, and added a few things (KHIII among them). There was very little else for them to expand upon, and the audience got bored. I've watched all of e3 so far, and SE had the quietest audience. With the exception of Nintendo, of course, because they did not have an audience... so yeah. Every other conference had a huge ovation after nearly every game. Square Enix did not, and from what I've seen so far, that accurately portrays the level of hype from the viewers around the world.
I think that IGN pretty much sums up the debate (Skip to 18:50): http://www.ign.com/videos/2015/06/16/our-reactions-to-square-enixs-e3-2015-press-conference-ign-live-e3-2015
The main problem with SE's conference was the lack of content and abysmal pacing. You obviously didn't see it live. They showed a brief CGI video, talked for 10 min, and showed a little gameplay. But there was so much talking and so little actual gameplay. There weren't any big reveals. I know for a fact that the Rise of the Tomb Raider and FFVII trailers were the exact same ones shown yesterday. Nothing new. At all. It just seemed to go on forever.
At least EA had Battlefront (which I am starting to warm up to), Mirror's Edge, and something else.....
Whoever hosted the Ubi conferences for this year for this year and last is just painful, but some people like her. At least it's a little variety.
