E3 2013: All aboard the hype train
 
Coming close to that time of the year again for arguably the biggest event in gaming. Considering Sony and Microsoft already held their own events while the other major publishers revealed most of their stuff, didn't need an extra early hype thread this year for E3.

Here we go... So much copy-pasta coming...

alvarado52 06-03-2013 01:55 AM

I swear if Sony and Microsoft don't address their used game DRM (or lack there of) in detail i'm gonna go wreck a Gamestop.

Kalyx triaD 06-03-2013 04:15 AM

How many years has it been since I left the E3 thread to you, Smelly?

Fignuts 06-03-2013 04:17 AM

Another year, another few days of hoping for a Mirrors Edge 2 announcement.

Kalyx triaD 06-03-2013 05:24 AM

We might get lucky this year...

Extreme Angle 06-03-2013 05:58 AM

Really excited for this year

Kalyx triaD 06-03-2013 07:32 AM

As is every year, pretty much looking toward Nintendo. My expectations for the other two are so hilariously low they can only impress from there.

Extreme Angle 06-03-2013 07:50 AM

Yeah, really looking forward to the Smash Bros reveal

ClockShot 06-03-2013 08:30 AM

Ugh. Sony's presser is late this year. Usually it's on around mid-afternoon here on the east coast.

Third year in a row.

I'm only looking forward to Nintendo. Smash Bros, 3D Mario, Mario Kart, New IP and who knows what else as well as more info on Yoshi's Island and LttP2.

Xbox have to perform a miracle to be worth caring about.

Come home later and watch Konami's presser. Hoping Lords of Shadow 2 got a date set in stone.

Konami Bitches, yeahhhhhhh.

Starting with social games division.

You can already watch the whole thing:

The Final Bosman is easily becoming the best gaming video every week. Guy is just so sincere and doesn't need to use anger to get comedy out of it.

Kane Knight 06-07-2013 03:01 PM

He reminds me of John Hodgeman.

LoDownM 06-07-2013 03:36 PM

I like the "We are pleased to announce, Mirror's Edge 2, exclusively for Kinect." at the end of the video, because I can see EA/Microsoft saying that and pissing everyone off.

Kalyx triaD 06-07-2013 06:18 PM

In the interest of keeping things streamlined with what will be a huge media week, let's keep shit like that vid out of here.

Passing the time.

ClockShot 06-08-2013 02:24 PM

Watched the Konami press conference last night. As I thought, Lords of Shadow 2 looks amazing.

Kinda missing the Combat Cross already, but I guess a sword will do.

KIRA 06-08-2013 08:54 PM

Kingdom hearts my fingers are crossed for a PS3 version as well as I cant shell out the money for another system for a good while but still :drool::drool::drool:

Kalyx triaD 06-08-2013 10:42 PM

You know the time between Square announcing a game releasing it is like a whole console generation.

FF15 for Xbox 4.

Ermaximus 06-08-2013 11:14 PM

I'd really rather not buy a new system for one game. KH3 for PS3 is a must.

Boomer 06-09-2013 01:07 AM

E3 live stream night shows on Giant Bomb are some of my favorite gaming content all year. They start pretty late (10:00 PM PST), but they always have some crazy list of guests drinking and telling industry stories. Had some really awesome content last year with Ed Boon and David Jaffe.

That was incredible.

Rare's new game was revealed on SpikeTV's pre-show, Kinect Sport Rivals.

LoDownM 06-10-2013 02:00 PM

Omg, I want Ryse now.

Oh, looks like Rare trolled everyone on the pre-show thing.

ClockShot 06-10-2013 02:11 PM

Just got home, what I miss?

Kalyx triaD 06-10-2013 02:26 PM

Killer Instinct is indeed returning. Forza 5 thinks people give a fuck about racing fake humans. Stuff.

LoDownM 06-10-2013 02:29 PM

That Spark stuff looks very interesting.

LoDownM 06-10-2013 02:31 PM

Crimson Dragon, the quietest game in the world.

ClockShot 06-10-2013 02:36 PM

If it ain't Resident Evil, it's Dead Rising.

How about some Onimusha. Oh wait, that's cancelled.

Ermaximus 06-10-2013 02:41 PM

JFG in HD Rare. Stop being assholes.

ClockShot 06-10-2013 02:43 PM

OOPS!

RoXer 06-10-2013 02:56 PM

That Halo reveal was silly

Why would he need a duster/cloak?

He's in a space suit.

LoDownM 06-10-2013 03:06 PM

Hm, kinda impressed by Microsoft's press conference, maybe it's because my expectations where so low.

lol my thoughts exactly. I was going into this with a very "screw you MS" mind set.


As much as I hate their Xbox One policies, I cant deny how great these games (exclusives) look.

ClockShot 06-10-2013 03:09 PM

$499 for the new Xbox.

Meh. Haven't won me over yet, Bill Gates.

Emperor Smeat 06-10-2013 03:11 PM

Wasn't that the original price for the Xbox 360 (at least for the higher model)?


A few of the games looked really interesting although Jago looked a bit weird on the KI trailer.

ClockShot 06-10-2013 03:12 PM

I thought it was $399, maybe even $299.

EDIT: per wikipedia, $399 regular, $299 core version.

alvarado52 06-10-2013 03:16 PM

MIKE JOOOONES

alvarado52 06-10-2013 03:17 PM

I think its a reasonable price. A $100 price hike from the previous release.

LoDownM 06-10-2013 03:18 PM

Might end up buying a Xbone for Ryse and Dead Rising 3. And that Spark game possibly.

Kalyx triaD 06-10-2013 03:18 PM

Better show then I mentally prepared for. But as some of you said, my expectations were dirt low.

Boomer 06-10-2013 03:20 PM

I thought MGS5 looked great. Dead Rising 3 didn't look link Dead Rising (no goofiness that really is the only reason I love the series). Capy game looked alright, but I need to see more.

Don't care much about BF4 or Titanfall, but both showed well.


Oh, and Killer Instinct looked ok, I guess. Visually looked nice, but I totally can't tell if it will be fun to play at all. But then again, it looked like a three character demo.

Boomer 06-10-2013 03:22 PM

But for $499, I probably won't buy in for a while, if at all. Most of the games I would want will probably come to PC eventually, and I'm so far behind in my gaming catalog that I should be able to wait.

My XBL Gold goes up in August, and I'm not convinced I'm paying for it anymore.

alvarado52 06-10-2013 03:25 PM

These exclusives have me back on the fence for next gen system.

Dead Rising looked like a grittier departure from the others, but does maintain the core mechanics, so im okay with it.

Killer Instinct? Nuff said.

TitanFall looks plain sick.

ClockShot 06-10-2013 03:25 PM

THIEF!

Emperor Smeat 06-10-2013 03:39 PM

Microsoft revealed how their game video sharing system works and uses Twitch TV for hosting.

Quote:

Microsoft has detailed the Xbox One’s video sharing capabilities with Upload Studio, a way of saving and sharing gameplay clips with friends, and also confirmed that the console will support Twitch.

Players can use Upload Studio to record and edit gameplay clips. Players have the ability to add commentary and a backdrop to the video to give it a personal touch, it can then be shared online or with your Xbox Live friends.

The platform holder also revealed a partnership with Twitch, which will allow players to quickly and easily stream footage to Twitch straight from the Xbox One and also add their own commentary.
http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...witch-support/

For comparisons, Sony's PS4 sharing uses Ustream for hosting. Baring a surprise by Sony, neither would be providing any support to Youtube.

#BROKEN Hasney 06-10-2013 05:04 PM

I had some life shit to deal with, so I missed Ms. Let's see what EA has to offer. Come on Mirrors Edge 2 and Plants V Zombies: Garden warfare.

#BROKEN Hasney 06-10-2013 05:04 PM

Ahahaha, yessss one of the 2 right off the bat.

#BROKEN Hasney 06-10-2013 05:18 PM

NFS looks good. Titanfall looked great too. EA surprisingly bringing it so far.

ClockShot 06-10-2013 05:18 PM

Why not just call it Hot Pursuit 3. Or would this be 4?

They did say last week that there would be no Star Wars games until end of 2014 at the earliest, so I'm not shocked. Just glad to be surprised.

ClockShot 06-10-2013 05:22 PM

A Need for Speed movie?

Why?

#BROKEN Hasney 06-10-2013 05:24 PM

Hopefully NFS movie is the only bullshit. Really hope this Dragon Age is a return to form.

Still not gameplay then. OK.

At least Madden is gameplay. Looking quite pretty.

As pretty as big guys in padding can look.

Good, Von Miller ain't on the cover.

#BROKEN Hasney 06-10-2013 05:37 PM

They're rattling through the sports quite quickly, quite happy with that.

FIFA is passing me off though because the PC version will still be based on the old engine and I'd buy it if it looked like that.

RoXer 06-10-2013 05:39 PM

Drake for some reason

ClockShot 06-10-2013 05:40 PM

I think Pro Evolution looks better than Fifa.

They did some NFS filming in my hometown. Still not gonna see it.

#BROKEN Hasney 06-10-2013 05:51 PM

Battlefield 4 looks better than the PS4 Killzone already, but this is the PC version, so we're not sure what the gap is going to be like yet.

Emperor Smeat 06-10-2013 05:53 PM

Think EA said in the past at least for player count the console version will support 64 players like the PC will.

Edit: Nevermind it was confirmed by EA earlier on the speech that I missed

Dat destruction in BF4.

Boomer 06-10-2013 05:59 PM

They will have to do a lot to convince me to play a Mirror's Edge sequel. Original suffered a lot when the action slowed down, and I really disliked any sections with any sort of combat. I'm sure it will be a better game though.

RoXer 06-10-2013 06:00 PM

You are most definitely in the minority

Kalyx triaD 06-10-2013 06:04 PM

That Battlefield 4 gameplay was rad. Great to see Mirror's Edge 2.

AND BATTLEFRONT BITCHES

I think the original is flawed as hell, but I think the game has always deserved a sequel to iron the kinks out. People have been clamoring for it, sure, but there are plenty of people who feel the way I do.

And honestly, why does it matter whether I'm in the minority or not? Just my opinion.

Boomer 06-10-2013 06:11 PM

Mirror's Edge is also almost five years old. I think it will get a much better treatment now.

Should make some Oculus Rift support!

#BROKEN Hasney 06-10-2013 06:13 PM

Was going to turn the Gametrailers feed off before David Cage makes me want to punch something, but an advert to The Final Bosman made me really happy so now I can survive him.

alvarado52 06-10-2013 06:16 PM

In an age where the internet tends to ruin reveals and what not, this E3 has been a refreshing one. Sure, we all knew of these games, but we didnt know what these games were looking like, played like, etc.

This E3 has made me a little less pessimistic about the next console generation.
