So, it's E3 this week! Are you excited? Eh? Eh?
No?
Get out ye heathen.
Anyway, this is the week for us gamers to divulge into more and MORE games that will be coming. And so far, I'm impressed! This year's E3 beats the living crap of last year.
Frickin Wii Music.
Anyway, I will only talk about the Press Conferences, namely Microsoft, Nintendo and lastly Sony. Don't worry, they were in that order.
MICROSOFT
So this year Microsoft seems pretty confident! Althought I gave up watching the Microsoft Press Conference time from time due to the lagging, they were pretty sharp in from what I saw. Not only did they talk about one Halo game, but TWO! Even though I'm not a Halo fan, good for you!
Two other games that brought my attention was Left 4 Dead 2 and... the horror. The very absolute horror itself. Metal Gear Solid Rising for the 360! (don't fret, it was later revealed to not be an exclusive, coming for XBOX360, PS3 and PC!)
Anyway, then I saw something that truly caught my mind. Project Natal it was called, something way more revolutionary than the wii-mote! It looks awesome, but I fear that I won't play it any time soon. What a shame.
Then apparently they were suddenly saying that XBOX360 and Facebook will be the best of buddies now! Also Twitter! I DON'T CARE HAHAHA SHOW ME GAMES.
And that ended the press conference. Anti-climatic.
NINTENDO
Last year at Nintendo's PR there was something called Wii Music. Something, well, awful. Awfuuuuul. So I was expecting something better for the audience this year.
First off the bat? Mario. And when I say Mario, I mean THREE MARIO GAMES. Epic! Sure two of them for the DS and one for the Wii, but hey at least they are bringing us REAL GAMES. HAHA I AM SO CLEVER.
They also showcased Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles, Dead Space: Extraction and lastly The Conduit.
Then it as the usual stuff about the wii-motion-plus that would make everything better. Including your mom. Actually, they also talked about Wii Fit Plus as well, making everything add up! This kept going for awhile.
Then, without any warning, they announced... ANOTHER MARIO GAME! What a shocker!
Actually the biggest surprise was when this GAME was announced. It was beautiful, trust me.
That ended this Press Conference. Better than last year, but still no word about Zelda for the Wii. Why?
SONY
Last but definitely not least, we have Sony on the list! After Project Natal, Sony would really have to bring up some damn good stuff!
Well, my mind can't remember EVERYTHING that happened at Sony's press conference seeing that it was 2 hours long. 2 hours of pure happiness.
First off, they began to show some Uncharted 2, which I believe was followed up with Modern Warfare 2, which looks absolutely stunning. Also there was showcasing of MAG, but I didn't care much about it. If I remember right, it was followed up with the PSP content! There was the announce for a new PSP called PSP Go! Then there was Gran Turismo for the PSP and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, which was some good news really! However, FOUR SNAKES!? WTF KOJIMA (it was probably multiplayer)
Then there was some video montage, which I sat and had puppy eyes. The eyes clearly representing "me wantz".
One day.
Then they showed us demo of two things! First was Assassin Creed 2, which looks superior to the first one. It's a must have for you Assassin/Ninja fans! After that, they showed the PS3's very own Motion Controller(which was way better than the Wii-Mote). And it worked wonderfully, even better than the wii-mote. Although it did look like a dildo(don't worry they're changing the design).
Anyway, after that came some one of the biggest... surprise in E3. First, they showed a trailer of FFXIII which has been overdue for a couple of years now. Like 3. And then...
The man spoke: "Final Fantasy... XIV". While I don't have a link to that trailer yet, it should be know that... if they make the game without monthly subscriptions they are forgiven. Like in an instant. Square will be forgiven for all their wrong doings. All of them!
All of them.
Then there was some talk about Little Big Planet and racing. Oh and Disney themes for LBP. My attention wasn't really in here, but it went to what came after this.
I can't remember if they showed a trailer here, perhaps because it is 1:30am over here, but also because what they showed next was pretty interesting. God of War III live demo! Sure, it looks great but nothing has really changed but the graphics. Oh well, I'm sure it will score a 10/10 for a hack n slash game!
Before wrapping things up, they showed one last trailer known as The Last Guardian. Sure, it looks great and I wouldn't mind owning it, but I am not really sold for the idea yet. Oh well, maybe next trailer.
And that was it from Sony's side.
From what I saw, Sony pretty much owned the floor with their PR with Microsoft coming a close second(remember I didn't see everything from Microsoft PR). Nintendo was just awful and I didn't bother to see EA and Ubisoft's PR.
In the end, this E3 has been very pleasing so far. Sony has great games coming, Nintendo has FOUR MARIO GAMES AND METROID and Microsoft has PROJECT NATAL that looks awesome. So overall, I think that everyone should walk away happy.
Me?
I'm going to *** **** my ****** thinking of Final Fantasy XIV.
Ze crazy adventurez.
