Board 8 > transience's video game topic -- the e3 mega-thread, 2012 edition.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I really hope there was an element of saving up for next year's E3 from both Sony and MS for their new consoles because neither showed anything really exciting to me. I fear there's not though, and that's just what they're offering from here on. Meh.

Good job, Ubisoft, though! And come on Ninty.

yeah, this had the feeling of companies ramping up for the next gen.

that's the thing though, Sony just launched something a few months ago. they can't bail on it like that.

and have 45 minutes of Miyamoto dancing

you know that's probably in there at some point or another.

But seriously, why no soul sacrifice?

They already announced it.... don't they want Vita's image to improve AT ALL? Why not show a game you have?

no gravity rush, no sound shapes, no soul sacrifice, no p4g, not even a Vita montage. nothing.

Nintendo will probably give the DS more mindshare than Sony did this week.

Man, if you own a Vita right now...

I'm sorry. I had the lowest expectations for what they'd show for it... And they still zoomed right underneath them.

Can't they? It's a gigantic dud in Japan, which is where 99.9% of PSP sales come from these days. They might just cut everything and run.

Read through the summaries. Am I missing something or was Watch Dogs basically the only interesting new IP announced by anyone?

--
Black Turtle did a pretty good job.

ZombiU is interesting to me at least!

I am actually regretting my Vita purchase really badly right now

I mean I did buy it immediately as a PSP machine... but I did expect SOME Vita games later on. That was my entire reasoning for it "I'll play it for PSP until Vita games come!"

this seriously sucks, first time I've regretted a video game purchase....... well, since Infamous 2 last week since THEY GOD DAMN ANNOUNCED IT FOR FREE TODAY


GAH SONY DOUBLE-BURNING ME

Vita to come free with PS+ next week

--
xyzzy

you know, if you think about Sony rationally, they didn't really do that bad. Beyond looked cool (though zero gameplay shown), Last of Us is pretty much guaranteed to be good, God of War is God of War, Sony Smash Bros could be okay. four exclusives that MS doesn't have, whereas MS's top four were Halo 4, a Gears teaser, Forza and Fable Kinect.

but when you consider how much they dropped the ball on, and that damn book, it's hard not to call this a disaster for them. I expected them to really do something and they did absolutely nothing. they left a platform to die and they didn't show much for PS3 either.

2012 is going to be an off year for video games. come on Nintendo

I'm shocked at that Vita display. They talked about having 20-30 game demos at that conference, they didn't even do half of that.

If the Vita is still being mass-produced five years from now, I'd be absolutely shocked. Vita is dead, and Sony killed it.

Now that the crappiness of the Wonderbook presentation has started to be digested...what exactly does it REALLY enhance beyond what the EyeToy already can do? You can rotate it I guess, and I suppose having the frame of reference helps the effects look better, but REALLY?

On a side note I'm not really sure where all this Microsoft > Sony sentiment is coming from. Yeah Wonderbook sucked but really the Sony conference had a lot more interesting titles IMO.

Maybe they did, and they were all in that montage! We'd never know.

I see a tough crowd here. The lack of attention to Vita is confusing to me--the games are there, I'm not sure why they aren't giving them attention on a big stage like that.

$70 with a game.

I imagine that once you have the book you can play any game that supports the book.

But man I hope they make it clear as day on relevant titles that you need Move AND the WonderBook for some of them.

Depends on the person. They dropped the ball on Vita for reasons I'm not sure of, but if you own a PS3 they did a good job of giving you good looking games for this year and early next. I'm not going to say they 'won' E3 or anything, but yeah. I don't care about the Wonderbook thing in the same way I don't care about Microsoft's Nike crossover or random Nickelodeon apps!
