E3 Your Highlights


The Joker

Recommended Posts

So, after day 1 of the E3 conference, I thought I'd have a look at what I thought were the standout moments from the days conferences, and see what everyone else enjoyed / hated.

For me, the conference got off to a real high, with the demonstration of the new Tomb Raider game. Visually, it looks amazing, and left me wanting to play the game right away. This appears to be a far darker game than its previous outings, and features a young Laura, before she became the tough version we all know and love.

The next standout moment for me came in the form of soem more info on Arkham City. As was announced a few weeks back, Cat Woman would also be a playable character. And from what I've seen in the various interviews and gameplay showings, she definately makes use of all nine lives.

Next up for me, was a demonstration of the next Elder Scrolls game, Skyrim. Visually, it already looks set to blow the socks of Oblivion, and possible even Morrowind. The gameplay looks to flow a lot better, and we're promised that everything will, quite literally, change based on every decision you make.

Another great moment came in the form of a new game, Overstrike. Insomniac have been working on this game for a long time, and from the trailer, it looks like it will be amazing. Definately one to watch out for in the future.

But for me, the standout moment came in the form of Sony's news Hand Held consol. Originally called NGP, it has been renamed as Playstation Vita, with Vita being the latin for life. (PS vita for short)

There are going to be two models of the Vita released towards the end of 2011. The first is a Wi-Fi Model: 24,980 Yen (including tax), $249 and euro 249 . The second is a 3G/Wi-Fi Model: 29,980 Yen (including tax), $299 and euro 299.

The Vita looks pretty promising' date=' but Sony didn't deliver what I wanted, which was more info about Metal Gear Solid: Rising >:[/quote']

Yeah, I would've liked to hear something about that from sony. It was good to hear an appology for all the downtime that has hit PSN , and I've been looking at a few figures, and the new PS Vita is cheaper than any of Nintendo's hand-held consols. A very bold move by Sony

Hmm, Im quite interested in the NPG or I shall say, PSVITA... I want one.. xd

I'll get one if i can port PS3 games and save files to and from it. If Sony can pull that off, along with the trophies, then they've just got themselves one huge selling point over Nintendo and Microsoft

And what about that package they are introducing for 499 (23inch screen with 3d glasses and resistance) not much of a steal considering r3 plus the glasses range to about 150max so then the screen is costing ya 350 alone lol.

Assassins CREED Revelations!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait haha

FIFA 12 looks like a steal for Sports Game of the Year

Batman looks dope and Farcry 3 surprisingly

Halo remake = LAME

In conclusion which company stole the show hmm I dunno I think it's between Sony and Nintendo (Sony was a given after the PSN hack incident they had to deliver and Nintendo for the awesome library they are putting forth for 3DS and new console)

I would give it to Nintendo though just cuz they announced a new system.

Hahaha XBOX's biggest highlite was getting youtube as a partner :| lol jks

Well it might be possible but if so it's likely to be a PSN Plus member feature only. ><

Halo 4! So excited! Let's see if it can top Reach or not.

EDIT: Watching E3 trailers right now, and my excitement for FF13-2 just got higher. The battle system looks so much more impressive than the last version. So I'm keeping high hopes for this.

MORE EDIT: Okay, the new Wii U looks like it'll be pretty awesome. Not sure about the PSP Vita. Star Wars: The Old Republic has, in my opinion, the most BA video game trailer ever. The new Tomb Raider looks freakin' sweet (and I've never played a Tomb Raider game in my life). The Star Wars Kinect game may be promising.

Kay, that should be it for now. May update again at the end of E3.

A HALO REMAKE GAME! how totally unexpected:( I can't stand halo, its alright but its not the video game second coming of christ people make it out to be. Halo ODST was piss-poor, so I just ignore all the halo adverts and trailers now as they never actually portray what the ACTUAL game is like.

Tomb Raider looks good.

BF3 and MW3 look good, although I'm not sure how different they will be from their predecessors.

Toy soldiers cold war looks sweet, I loved the WW1 one and will probably get this.

and I'm sure Batman and oblivion and all the others will be great too.

Theres just too many good games coming out:( I rarely buy new games these days, I usually wait until the price has dropped and the hype has receeded, sorting the wheat from the chaff:) Then its off to amazon!

But I may have to buy at least one new game this year, or twist my little brothers arm into bitching his way into getting one:)

Also, it seems the PS3 is finally starting to get into its stride. Makes me wish I had one...almost. The trouble with xbox is that they are going through a 'kinnect' stage:(

One final note: The stand out shittest looking game has to be Fable: the journey. Look it up and you'll see what I mean.

Right, got a few things from IGN here. Mainly the interviews they've had with the games creators, but also shows some good in-game footage, as well as detailing a few interesting facts

Dead Island:

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City:
