) so I will give it another shot soon.
Best thing they showed was The Last Guardian, even though it was no surprise since it was leaked last week. Team ICO is one of my favorite dev teams.
New mario titles abound, what they announce 3? New Metroid looks interesting. But what about new Zelda/Pikmin/Pilot Wings/Star Fox/F Zero/Kid Icurus??? What is Retro studios up to now that they arent working on the Metroid series anymore?
To be honest, I thought the microsoft motion control thing looked cool but can't see it being well implimented. But I am a Sony fan so am obviously gonna be blinkered
I am excited for Uncharted 2 as well, the presentation in the first was incredible, tho I think it was heavy on the gunplay and you never really got to use the hand to hand stuff. I tried the multiplayer beta last night, but was that impressed with it. I dont know why devs feel the need to inclulde a multiplayer component in every game. Its an action/adventure game it doesnt need to really lend itself to multiplayer. Of course I was exhausted when I got around to playing (and making this thread since you can see I left words out of the title
Sony had some cool things, FF14 was a big surprise, however I was bummed to see its a MMO, I dont mind them doing it but it annoys me that they are a numbered FF game, it annoyed me when they called their first MMO FF11, should have just called ti FF online. Sony's motion control seemed like a bit of a joke after seeing NATAL. I also thought the price for the PSP GO was insane.
MS nothing major in terms of surprises, back to back falls with new halo releases however was a nice to hear, but they throws off the proposed every other year Gears/Halo thing MS said it wanted to do. And finally seeing more of Alan Wake was very nice, been waiting on that one forever. Peter M. and his imaginary boy seem...odd to say the least. What the heck is Rare doing now, other then XBLA of Perfect Dark?
Nintendo, where to start. I think they might have gone a little too far with the peripherals, Wii heart rate monitor?
Overall the show has been pretty cool, but sadly not many big surprises yet.
for a solid four minutes, but I have a hard time believing it'll really translate that well to actual games/home environments. Time will tell, I guess. I liked the PS3 motion controller, too (though I hope the finished product won't look like a supped up bingo dabber..).
I pretty much feel like this, too. The Milo demonstration for Project Natal had me like this --->
I think the thing I've been most excited about this E3 has been the Monkey Island announcements. Can't wait for Secret: SE and Tales!
**Cough**
**Cough** Microsoft fanboy, erm, girl
The Monkey Island stuff looks pretty cool tho, always loved them since I used to play it on my Amiga, now I have 1 and 2 on my iPhone
Gotta disagree myself. Microsoft looked like a tech demo (maybe why it looked more polished?) whereas Sony's looked like it was implimented to proper software.
Anyway, motion-schmotion. My Wii sits next to my TV gathering dust (except the odd burst of Animal Crossing), sometimes i just wanna sit on the couch and not move my arms
Consoles are all about games rather than these "gimmicks" and both Microsoft and Sony have some crackers on the way
Also, Secret and Tales!!!! Almost pre-ordered Tales off of their site... but have also "acquired" all the original games... I still have MI2 on 3 1/2 Inch Floppy! It's just about as old as I am!
inFAMOUS is pretty fun, if a tad repetitive, but worth a play
