Official E-3 Thread

Watch Dogs... now there's a game that has my attention. 'Bout an hour or so until Sony's up. I've been most hyped to see them over anyone else mainly because they have a big chip on their shoulder. As a Vita AND PS3 owner I'm definitely hoping and expecting to see some big time announcements. The Vita isn't doing too hot in Japan so this may be Sony's last chance to impress gamers. Time to hold my breath!

yeh that game caught my eye i cant beleive nothing about it leaked. Finally something that looks new and fresh, suprise of the show.

Hope the sony presser is good and they have new ip's

Just watched the EA presser, I rate it a 8/10.
EA gets a lot of heat, but that presser was home run.

Fifa 13 is well FIFA 13. Game looks great, I can't really say much on it because I just got into Futbol, and have only played the FIFA 12 demo. But it looks good and the details they gave on 13 was great.

Madden I've already said looks like it'll be the best Madden to date. EA pressers for the game made that even more clear, yeah there is some cons, but every game has cons, it wont be the gold everybody wants, but it'll be the gold some want.
I expect this Madden to actually be worth the money and I expect it to actually put up a fight for best sports game and not let NHL and FIFA just battle with each other.

Didn't really say or show anything on NHL 13, guess we'll have to watch for news on that later this summer, if it's a improvement from NHL 12 somehow, then it'll be great.

Crysis 3 looks good, but it's Crysis so that's nothing new. The real question is in it's gameplay, for me Crysis 2 single player was alright, but it didn't stick with me. The multiplayer was decent. Crysis 3 might be a game I pick up at some point, but it wont be a first day buy like Crysis 2.

For me the biggest news was EA sports finally signing a contract with the UFC. UFC approached EA a few years ago, but EA turned them down, UFC wasn't really big to them. UFC signed on with THQ.

With THQ the UFC games were at the least pretty decent, UFC 3 being the best of the games. But when you play it, you end up comparing it what it'd be like if EA made it. Roster updates, a better career mode, more fighters, better graphics, better audio. So for a UFC fan, a MMA fan, and a gamer, EA hooking up with UFC was great news.

Gonna watch the Ubisoft presser later on tonight, but not right now. Probably wont watch Sony's.

Edit: Forgot about Battlefield 3 and Medal Of Honor

Battlefield 3 premium is just a copy of Gears 3 season pass and CoD Elite.
It's really a waste of money, people will buy it, but I see no point unless you have money to waste on getting a few new weapons, 2 week early access on DLC maps, and some new dog tags.

Medal Of Honor looked amazing, can't weight for it to come out. I enjoyed the last one, the single player was way way way too short, the multiplayer was completely unbalanced to a point where it was unplayable. I'm hoping the fixed the issues, lengthen the story, and made an all around better game. For shooter fans, this could be a sleeper while everyone else is buying Halo, CoD, and Gears.

If they bring back jetpacks in Halo 4 ima punch a baby raccoon.

I believe they are built into the suits or an armor add on. But it wont be like everybody is using Jetpacks, because you have to actually unlock armor add ons, in there are a good number so people will be using different set ups.

Can't wait till I get home and can watch some of these, because I am only getting three games this year. I thought they were already set with NCAA, Madden, and Borderland 2. But the news of Madden and NCAA looks like NCAA is going to be replaced lol. Now I will watch all these and see which one's spark my interest lol.

Sony's conference was better than Microsoft's. Big shocker...

Yeah, that was unbearable. But I felt they impressed more with Beyond, God of War, AC3 gameplay, Last of Us, Sony Smash Bros, and decent Vita announcements to go along with it. Aside from Halo 4, Microsoft was terrible.. worse than last year. Oh well, this was the 360's and PS3's last E3 anyways.

Sony's presser was more geared towards the buisness side.

I'd rather it be removed completely but as long as it's nerfed I won't be complaining.

I didn't see a problem with it. I never used it in Reach, so I never saw the perk of using it or not. People I've played against using it, used it to runaway from gun fights.

Just watched the Ubisoft Presser, it was pretty meh.

Didn't care about half the stuff they talked about.

Assassins Creed III looked great, then again it's Assassins Creed, even the first game looks like it could compete graphically with today's games(on console).

I'd rather they call the main character by his Native American name and not his English name. His birthname being Ratonhnhaké:ton, to me it's more original in a since and brings it's closer to home in the since of him being Native American.

Never really been big on Far Cry, honestly never even played it mainly because it doesn't look interesting to me, so that was blah.

Watch Dog looked stunning, slow but fun at the same time. This is one of those games that went under the radar leading up to E3 and becomes one of the most talked about games.
