#291135 GameTrailers says Nintendo had the best press conference at E3

Posted by Raiden on 21 June 2014 - 04:09 PM

Seriously I liked all 3 conferences in terms of the games they showed, but I just preferred Sonys because of No Mans Sky which looks amazing, The Order looks fantastic (Gears with a twist of steam punk/horror), Bloodborne(Dark souls anyone?), Uncharted 4(once again pushing the limits of a console), DLC for infamous which again looks promising and remakes that are worth doing(Grim Fandingo). Again there's probably more indie games coming out and plus the 3rd party support which Nintendo is lacking BIGtime.

Microsoft showed some great stuff as well with Sunset Overdrive, Inside, Ori(the indie game), plus Phantom Dust(which was a fantastic game on the original Xbox). Also I'll never understand the "more of the same" it could easily be said of Nintendo that they show more of the same(Mario,Zelda,miis,etc.) still I never bring cheap stuff like that cause I love me some Zelda and Mario, in the end if you didn't like ps3 or 360 then it's obvious that you probably wouldn't like Sonys nor Microsoft conference.

Grim Fandango is a port. Ori is also PC. They showed stuff you can get anywhere and again you are kinda dense to understand when things are so interchangeable. Nintendo showed 5 new IP's this year and everything varied. Sony/MS showed more gritty shooters they offered little variety. Everything NIntendo showed even if vibrant was vastly different from another. Uncharted 4 trailer is the exact trailer 2 and 3 had also no matter the claims E3 builds that are promised as in game are always from Sony heavily watered down. In fact Uncharted 3 E3 build looked amazing but final Build was a massive downgrade. The Last of Us AI was promised to anticipate and adaptive. TLOU AI was horsing stupid. Everyone runs at you head on and other times be next to you and do nothing. I own Phantom Dust I know about it.  Sunset Overdrive we saw last year it does look sorta fun. The Order is going to be trash. Quite a few articles of people who played it. The game is pretty to look at but you almost don't play the game at all. It redefines linear. About all those 3rd parties are trash anyway.

 

PS3 is my fave Last gen console I also had a 360 and Wii..still do always will. No Mans Sky is a game that will wow you at a show with visuals but looks to be nothing but a game with zero objective. You explore and if your ship breaks you spend 5 hours make a new ship to explore aimlessly as said 2 people from Giant Bomb who were given a post E3 presentation. Be cool for some and others the wow factor wear off fast and get boring. Bloodporn is more Demon Souls than Dark Souls. Demons Souls was hard,Dark Souls was just broken disguised as being hard. I'm a fan of From Software from PS1 days and Dreamcast days with Frame Gride and Xbox days with Otogi 1-2. Not unfamiliar with them.

 

Nintendo showed very different things. Old IP's mainly with a vastly different play style and look. Then 5 new IP's. Sony and MS showed a bunch of Music Videos and CGI trailers to make brainwashed masses piss themselves with glee. It's pathetic. Instead of actually playing the game and explaining the mechanics which Nintendo heavily did with games like Wooly World and Splatoon. I am excited for Grim Fandango and Ori and Scalebound. They were bright spots in a sea of interchangeable games and series like Batman and Assassins Creed becoming Generic within themselves. Sony and MS just switched conferences from the previous year. It almost literally was the same thing they done in previous years. Nintendo has a very spotty E3 record but this year not just their Direct but Treehouse and Smash Tourney reinvented E3 as they know E3 is not stuck in 1995 anymore.

 

What Sony/MS showed will fade from memory fast while what Nintendo did is sticking with people. The lasting impression is why thet flat out kicked ass this year when everyone including me as I posted it in a few status updates expected them to fall flat.

The thing I hate the most about this artical is... he's right
No matter what evidence we have against game haters, we lose because they can't accept facts, it's like having a creationist vs evolutionist debate. You can't win. 

At the same time it's not misleading.


No, hes an idiotic man child with severe arrested development issues.

He is literally the exact opposite of 'right'.

Critics who treat 'adult' as a
term of approval, instead of as
a merely descriptive term,
cannot be adult themselves. To
be concerned about being
grown up, to admire the
grown up because it is grown
up, to blush at the suspicion of
being childish; these things are
the marks of childhood and
adolescence. And in childhood
and adolescence they are, in
moderation, healthy
symptoms. Young things ought
to want to grow. But to carry
on into middle life or even
into early manhood this
concern about being adult is a
mark of really arrested
development. When I was ten,
I read fairy tales in secret and
would have been ashamed if I
had been found doing so. Now
that I am fifty I read them
openly. When I became a man
I put away childish things,
including the fear of
childishness and the desire to
be very grown up.

C.S. Lewis.

#261958 Nintendo Direct 12/18 for Spring 2014 Wii U , 3DS

Posted by Lightning_Ninja on 17 December 2013 - 04:34 PM

My guess:

approximately 7 minutes on DKC:TF

approximately 7 minutes on Mario Kart 8

Smash bros stuff including a character reveal (Prob a returning one)

3 minute 3rd party reel

remainder of time on 3ds

 

That sound reasonable?

#258609 Assassins Creed Series

Posted by TheUltimateWaddleDee on 02 December 2013 - 11:47 AM

They should've never tried to connect the games together through the Animus anyway. They should've been self-contained stories that linked in minor ways (mentioning Altiar when Ezio gets the hidden blade is a good example). The worst part of Assassin's Creed games were the segments outside the Animus, and the plot created for it was just stupid.


#234827 Call of Duty Ghosts OFFICIALLY COMING TO WIIU!

Posted by IvyT on 25 July 2013 - 01:37 PM

I don't understand everyone's obsession with getting DLC though. I mean, for me, DLC are just a pain; most of those things could've been easily included in the game, most are seriously overprice and 4/5 DLC's add little to no content (the only DLC's I ever bothered getting were for Mass Effect, that actually added more to the story).

#234686 The Next Super Smash Bros. Won't Have a Story Mode or Cutscenes

Posted by Xiombarg on 25 July 2013 - 08:09 AM

I'm fine with that.  As long as they keep Classic mode, Event Matches, and some sort of Adventure Mode, like in Melee.

Whenever I see Japanese console sales I laugh at how badly the Xbox 360 always does.
