RIIIDDDGGEEEE RAAACCCEERRR Five Year Anniversary! (E3 2011)

[Smues]

Well that wasn't too bad. Tomb Raider looked surprisingly good, and I'm looking forward to actually having things to do with my Kinect.

 

[fazzle]

As someone who doesn't have a Kinect and has no interest in getting one, that conference was dog shit to me.

Rail shootin is the big thing in the future I guess.

Rail shootin is the big thing in the future I guess.

hahaha yeah, that's what I kept telling myself in 2007.

 

[Kageho]

Halo 4 through 6 coming soon! Bungie, I thought you said you were done with the series, dammit.

Also, it just seems so surreal that Tomb Raider actually looks like a good game. I thought it was dead.

 

[bps21]

Bungie is done with the series. Microsoft owns it though so they'll keep making them.

From a Twitter friend...Microsoft's E3 Presentation in a nutshell:

 

[fazzle]

You know, I was just thinking the other day that the one thing Hot Pursuit needed to truly become epic was quick time events.

 

[fazzle]

You be sure to call Peter Moore SIR you faggy football fucks

(seriously that might be the most awkward moment of E3 so far)

Two good features getting added to Live that Microsoft didn't say anything about cause they weren't Kinect related:

We want to make it easy for you to connect with friends over your favorite games on Xbox LIVE, so we are introducing Beacons to the service. Beacons are a way to tell your Xbox LIVE and Facebook friends that you want to play a game on Xbox LIVE. By setting a Beacon, you tell Xbox LIVE what you want to play. Then, Xbox LIVE lets you know when friends are playing or want to play the same game. With Beacons, no matter what you're currently doing on Xbox LIVE your friends know that it's ok to ask you to play your Beaconed games. Imagine sending out a Beacon to let your friends know you're interested in playing "Halo," while watching a movie on Netflix. It's about making it easier for you to share and discover games and multiplayer opportunities with friends on Xbox LIVE.

Cloud Storage for Game Saves and LIVE Profile. Here at Xbox LIVE we listen to your feedback. We are making it easier for you to sign into your Xbox LIVE account from any console at any time to access your game saves and full profile, including items such as Microsoft Points to make purchases, Achievements and friends. Cloud storage will allow you to enjoy the same great Xbox LIVE gaming experience even when you're not in your own living room by giving you the option to store your "game saves" securely in the Xbox LIVE cloud instead of on a portable memory unit or your console's hard drive. Gone are the days of "gamertag recovery." Now all you need to do is sign in, no matter where you are!

...yeah! It'll suck.

I was hoping to hear Tales of Xillia be announced for coming overseas, but I guess that's not gonna happen this year. T_T I want my new Tales game dammit.

 

[fazzle]

well the Sony conference is still a couple hours away. Isn't that one a PS3 game?


(but either way I doubt it'd get a big E3 announce)

 

[fazzle]

I have no clue what song that was during the underwater portion of Rayman Origins, but that shit just made this game of show.


Edit: hahahah "dick jokes BEEEEP"

missed it by just that much.

 

[Exslade ZX]

Haha , I can't help but laughing at the bombing, and then misbleeping of "Dick Jokes" there at the Ubisoft conference.

In fact, horrible misbleeps all around lol.

Furious 4 = Inglorious Basterds Console Version. Which from that trailer, isn't a bad thing.

 

[fazzle]

This guy is a horrible Wayne Campbell

Edit: The censors are REALLY off their game here.

[fazzle]

I hope we get at least 2 more f-bombs during this trailer/demo whatever the fuck it is

 

[Golgo]

Ubisoft is killing me. Unlike Microsoft with shit I don't care about, it's shit I don't care about and a genuinely awful presentation. I can't even bring myself to laugh at it in a RIDGE RACER way. It's just bad. But there's at least a good looking Rayman and Assassin's Creed.

I'm looking forward to this.

 

[fazzle]

Ubisoft has had the best press conference IMO. It wasn't frustratingly bad like Microsoft, or just boring as fuck bad like EAs, this one has been comedically bad.

So it has that going for it at least.

 

[Golgo]

I wasn't really expecting much outside of Kinect, so I didn't have any betrayed expectations. It was boring, as was EA, which Ubisoft was anything but. However, outside of Dick Jokes, it was just too much of Caffeine painfully bombing and stuff that will likely suck, and not enough quotables and gif material to make up for it. And no BG&E2.

I think EA had the best by virtue of not being offensively bad.

 

[Kageho]

Yes it is, I totally thought XBox thanks to Tales of Vesperia: Beta.

And I agree with Mik. Kingdoms of Amalur actually looks like it might be a good game.

Its depressing that nothing has me going "I need to get this". Every E3, you at least get that one game that gives you that feeling. I haven't had it yet. This is just terrible.

 

[fazzle]

this is the longest fucking montage ever

Its depressing that nothing has me going "I need to get this". Every E3, you at least get that one game that gives you that feeling. I haven't had it yet. This is just terrible.

I think there would be plenty of those games here (Batman, Uncharted, Skyrim) if the Spike VGAs didn't already ruin the surprise factor.

 

[Smues]

That montage was terrible. I can't imagine watching it in person in 3D would have made it any better.

 

[fazzle]

That montage was terrible. I can't imagine watching it in person in 3D would have made it any better.

So you're saying Sony needs to invest money into finding the fourth dimension?

Hackers will find it first.

Edit: You thought the montage was boring? This guy is putting me to sleep quickly.

 

[fazzle]

and Uncharted 3 is my first official "must have" game of E3. Although that's not exactly a big surprise.


Edit: hahahah is that fuckin Martha Stewart as the villain?

 

[Smues]

Damn that 3D monitor is tempting.

 

[fazzle]

Yeah, that's a REALLY decent price, and if that multiplayer tech actually works like it sounds.....

 

[Smues]

And assuming it plays all 3d content and not just games I think that's going to be mine come this fall.

Watching Kobe try and play this game is hilarious. However much they are paying him, they should have paid more to make him pretend he gave a shit about any of this.

 

[fazzle]

Lol did he just call House of the Dead a powerhouse franchise?
