E3 2015

[Matt Bellamy]

There have been a couple topics about specific games that were announced, but I thought I'd start an actual E3 topic.

 

So, what did you like? Dislike? Hyped for? Turned off by?

 

Things I am hyped for:

Fallout 4 - Many hours will be put into this. MANY.
Halo 5 - They've done so much now that I just want it. Good or bad.
Dark Souls 3 - I loves me some souls. It DOES kind of feel a little over saturated at this point... But there are some rumored changes that sound like it might change it up a bit.
Star Wars Battlefront - Finally. smegging finally.
Arkham Knight - Sooo soon...
Uncharted 4 - As much as I know how "samey" it will be... I play this series for the story and all the quips. This is one series I find they could probably just keep throwing Drake into new scenarios using the same old gameplay, and it would still be charming and funny as hell.
Destiny - More Destiny. I honestly don't have any complaints by this point. I know what it is, and I know what I am getting. And I am fine with it.
XCOM 2 - Loved Enemy Unknown and Enemy Within. I have a feeling I will adore this one as well.
Deus EX - See note about XCOM 2. Switch in Deus Ex. Gonna love it.

Things I am "Meh" about:

Xbox one Elite Controller - Looks awesome. Price point is FAR too high for it.
Gears of War Anything - I never even finished the last one. When they announce more about 4, it better be impressive.
Mass Effect Andromeda - Need more input. Espeically considering it's slated for "Holiday 2016".
For Honor - Trailer looked cool... And it says it has a solo campaign... But will see. If it's mostly pvp multiplayer, no go.
Assassin's Creed Syndicate - I'm done. Really. Unity made it painfully aware that Ubisoft has lost their way with the series... And I never bothered with Rogue.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake - That does it. Squenix is out of ideas.
No Mans Sky - I like the concept, but so far we've not seen anything really exciting related to any kind of plot. No plot also equals no buy.

As for everything else? I couldn't care less. Either they weren't my type of game, or just not impressive enough to warrant interest from me.
Still, lots of good stuff coming.

Can't wait.

I know I'm definitely looking forward to Fallout 4, Final Fantasy 7, and the maybe the new Deus Ex. Its going to be very interesting. But mostly am looking foward to FF7 remake because its sort of what got me into Final Fantasy other than FFX and Yuki could tell you that as she remembers me coming off obsessed and fixated over it.

1) Doom I'm a huge fan of the series and I like what I've seen. The only thing I disliked is that slo-mo when switching weapons.

"I've seen people and even had people say, 'Oh, that looks easy.' That is not easy. The game is a challenging game, it's like [the original Doom] in that respect,"

Yes, let's hope it's true!

2) Soma. Because it's like next Amnesia.

3) I'm also waiting for new Deus Ex. When the previous game came out I paid no attention to it but then my friend introduced me to the series and I played it with much pleasure.

4) And maybe Mad Max. Because of cars battles. Actually I'm yet to see the new movie.

Xbox one to be backward compatible with Xbox 360?  Mindblowing.  I mean, who would have thought that you could actually play your old games in a different system?  Oh wait, there are emulators for that.  So do you think this move is a step back or a step forward for Microsoft?  Sony already released a statement for that, so do you think they would follow suit?  They did that with the PS2 and the PSX, but didn't really matter much then.

Well considering it's going to be pretty limited right away, it's not THAT big of a deal... yet.

 

However, Microsoft is clearly hoping that this will help push people who own a 360 and games, and have not bought an Xbox One yet, into picking up a Xbox One. And frankly, I could see that helping.

 

Despite it being the "Current Generation", up to this point there hasn't been as much reason to buy a Xbox One OR PS4. This E3 certainly will help change that, as they actually focused on the newer consoles, rather than any announcements for the 360 and PS3. The Xbox ONE having at least some backwards compatibility will certainly give them a boost... Maybe not enough to equal or pass Sony's bigger fanbase, but definitely help sales figures for sure.

 

People have bitched and whined every generation for every console after the PS2 when they could not play old games on the new system. It certainly helped the 360, despite some early issues... But not THAT much since there wasn't very many Xbox titles in the first place.

 

But now there are a ton of 360 games, and a lot of people have a 360.

 

Thankfully, I own both already. It's going to be an expensive time coming for me. And I will no doubt enjoy the majority of it.
