E3 2011 - General Thread

[M.Buster2184]

Well based on what I saw this year: I'm excited for the Halo remake, kinda "meh" about Halo 4. Maybe Microsoft needs to let the series rest for a while. I think Uncharted 3 will be even better than Uncharted 2. Also not huge news but have to admit I'm kinda excited about Luigi's Mansion 2.

The best one I've heard today is that it sounds like a firetruck... Wii U Wii U Wii U Wii U. I cannot un-hear that.

Oh, dangit. Now I can't unhear it either

Here's my take:


Microsoft (C)

- Boring conference.
- Need to figure out a way to stop having Kinect games be on rails
- Where the heck is the new/interesting big IP games?
- No price drop/special bundle with Kinect?
- Halo 1 great in concept but graphical conversion looks weak
- Halo 4 is a pipe dream for 2012, I don't see it coming till 2013


Sony (B)

- Vita price blew me away
- Sly 4 looks cool
- Medieval Moves looks like the "best" on-rails motion game
- Where was Last Guardian or Agent ?
- Vita games look pretty darn good
- PS3 lineup was pretty typical, no big shockers


Nintendo (B)

- Damn, the Wii, I hardly knew ye....
- Did they show any Wii games at all ?
- Wii U is a dumb name. Quite a bit worse than Vita, and that's saying something
- Controller does look really amazing, but lots of ifs about it....
- Wii U in November 2012, yet they don't have any games running on the Wii U hardware?
- Wii U launch games will likely be rush jobs
- Nintendo's 3DS first party software does look pretty good

I must of missed this but is Skyward Sword now only a Wii U title or are they going the Twilight Princess dual release route with it?

It's actually a Wii title and will be out this holiday season.
