E3 Discussion Topic

Feel free to chat about your favorite, or least favorite moments at the Electronic Entertainment Expo.

For me, it was Sony's ruthless assault on everything wrong with the Xbox One

Least was Sony getting sneaky on the fact that online multiplayer is now pay to play, as PS+ is now required.

Wait, PS+ is now required? Bummer. Super bummer. I knew it was too good to be true.

Anyways, completely blown away by the Sony presentation (Kingdom Hearts 3, Destiny, other new games, all of the features, the low price, the sleek look).

Meanwhile, the Xbox One had a few more impressive features and games, but it doesn't hold a candle, in my mind, to Playstation. At least there'll be a new Halo.

As for Nintendo, the Wii U has some awesome titles coming up, mainly the next Super Smash Bros. (WITH FREAKING MEGAMAN IN IT). This E3 just keeps getting better. Can't wait for the next few days.

So far, I'd say Sony is winning with Nintendo in a close second.

Special honorable mention goes to:

Arkham Origins
Star Wars (next-gen) Battlefront

I did say they were sneaky about it. Tossed it out right after sucker punching Xbox One



Smash Bros looks Boss, but the Wii Fit Girl is not well received in my court. ON the other Hand, Villager and Megaman are. Especially Villager, who can STEAL ANY PROJECTILE AND THROW IT BACK AT YOU!

What really confuses me there is the people that cheered. I can only assume they were all paid exorbitant sums to do it.

It sounds more like they're just mentioning the PS+ perks that will be on the PS4. I don't see anything that says that it will be required for all PSN users. But if it does, at least I still have my PS3 to enjoy until it dies. And my other consoles (Steam, Wii, Gamecube, maybe a future Wii U or 3DS). And it does seem to be worth the investment, I guess :/

Yeah, Smash Bros. looks amazing! I didn't know that about the Villager!

And lol, DRJ, I hear some of their staff clapped in the first announcement. Maybe they did that there as well? Or some people saw some of the benefits in the Xbox One and focused on those while clapping? I don't know.

I think there was only one. Mainly the games (mainly new Halo and Destiny, which is already going on the other consoles anyways). I know, a Sony/Steam/Nintendo fanboy is saying this.

Saw some clips of FF XV, the Villager in the next Super Smash Brothers, infamous Second Son, Arkham Origins, the next Mario Kart, AC IV:Black Flag, and more. All seem like awesome titles. These next few years are going to be amazing. 

E3 just keeps impressing me. Anyone know if Valve will really make an announcement?

They'll announce that they're delaying their announcement.

Also, I'm kinda sad Destiny won't be on PC. I saw a trailer and it looked quite good.

It looks like they delayed their announcement of their delay

Yeah, Destiny looks amazing. It's a real shame that it won't be available to PC users.

"Events may happen in-game that are not necessarily controlled or planned by the developer, which will help to create a dynamic developing experience for Bungie and a dynamic playing experience for gamers."

Damn it.

:O

On note of KH 3, they should add the ability to design and level your keyblade. They implemented a similar feature with Gummi ships, and the leveling would be the same concept as every other KH, simply making it so you don't have to change your blade every other world.
I know some people like the different blades representing each place, so instead they could unlock recipes or templates for the worlds, while still allowing you to do your own thing.

This was our "laugh at Xbox One" thread, right?



All new feature: pausing!

WHAT?! I'VE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO PAUSE GAMES BEFORE GUIS [/sarc].
