I loved Xenoblade Chronicles.  The only problem is that it taught me what "Pop-in" was.  X looks beautiful though.  My most wanted Wii U game after Smash Bros.  I really wish that the trailer had given us something new like info on the story.  We really didn't learn anything new about the game from the trailer.

 

That's funny, I haven't seen any pop-in in Xenoblade. That was one of the better aspects of the game's graphics, which weren't even above average for the Wii.

I think this game looks amazing. Unfortunately, I never got Xenoblade Chronicles, even though at the time of release I wanted it quite bad. I definitely plan on picking this up though. Fo sho

One of the best things about this game is that it's Wii U exclusive so all those people who jump onto the other consoles will be left wondering. I really hope it a completely free roaming game.

It was my first large scale game.  I don't own a PS3 or 360 and I've had enough problems with my laptop that I'm waiting for a new one before doing any PC gaming.  The pop-in only bothered me in Makna Forest where trees were constantly coming into existence not even 15 feet ahead of me. every time I moved or swung the camera.  Having things appear when I'm two seconds away from running into it can be bothersome.  As a result I'm just loving what I see with X.  Every frame looks great and I didn't see any pop-in during the two trailers we have so far.
 
I wasn't paying much attention to the PS4/XB1 trailers, but really?  Pop-in issues on "Next Gen" hardware?  I...was expecting more.

not in the trailers on ps4/bone (Most of the trailers werent from the actualsystems), in the gameplay.

That explains a lot. In dragons dogma, and most large ps360 games youd have like entire carragies that would sometimes pop up when you got 20 feet away... or sometimes right next to you, whilst their contents float in midair.

I cannot WAIT for this. I've hated All but FFIX after FFVII (loved FFVII, HATED FFVIII), generally HATED JRPGS, missed out on Xenoblade Chronicles, but this looks lovely, open world, and just amazing!!!!!

 

Plus they've improved the visuals no-end since I last saw them, the lighting, the smooth framerate, the draw distance, the character models, for me, for this art-style it's just great. I'm really hoping for 1080p here, but will settle for 720p and a silky smooth framerate and draw distance

Y'know what? I just noticed that the trailer from E3 direct doesn't show the main character's face at any point. All you really know is that he has black hair. Someone surprising as main character perhaps?

[Alex Wolfers]

This is a day one buy for me. BTW has anyone noticed how a ton of the E3 games are sanbox?

[Nollog]

yes because monster hunter is the only game in the world with large monsters to fight.

IKr, monster hunter isn't open world at all.

Just to clear it up, I never actually said I thought this would be anything like Monster Hunter to play. I just said that it looked like a futuristic MH from some of the stills I saw. I know it'll play completely different.

If you look at he lighting in some of the trailer it looks great. I may well need a new tv to show it off :-)
