So today was Sony and Nintendo's conference, and to a somewhat suprise neither brought the suck like MS, to a extent. There was some Microsoft and Nintendo bad mouthing, and Move looks to be over priced; 50$ for wand controller, 30$ for attachment controller, 100$ with bundle that comes with both controller piecesand a awful game, and PS3 bundle witheverything is 400$. Sony's Move is a shameless rip-off but it does seem like it could be a better made rip-off thankfully. Response time with games looks to be quicker than Wii with Wii Motion Plus, no glitchy unresponsive mess with Sony, unlike Nintendo. We all knew Sony would spend too much time on the Move, but it was 3D that was bugging the hell out of me. I hate 3D, it gives me a headache, so stop trying to shove it down my throat guys, I am not Paris Hilton. Not a lot of suprises out of Sony, and I will discuss all games I saw today in a bit.
Nintendo brought a lot of nostalgia, and the 3DS, which shockingly doesn't look to be the half assed pile of crap I was expecting (yay!). Tons of resurrections to series that's been in a rough spot like Donkey Kong and Kirby for Wii, and of course the return of Kid Icarus for 3DS (complete with terrible voice acting, and a hot Medussa like villian). Also droped the games (just they will exist, nothing shown) of some 3rd party 3DS titles, like Resident Evil and a new Metal Gear Solid (don't you just want to punch Kojima in his lying, abnoxious, unable to move past MGS to make Zone of the Enders 3 even though he says he is mouth? Hey Kojima you know why MGS Rising looks better than the other MGS games? Because you're not making it!). Alright, that was a bit too mean, I'm sorry. Anyway on to the games.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
Ironically this was one of Nintendo's worst titles shown. The good is that the game looks great, takes the cel shaded art direction of the Wind Waker, but with Twilight Princess character designs. The bad, the demo shown was absolute crap! Nintendo tried to pass it off as interference but I don't know, seems a bit too, no, way too clunky and glitchy to just be interference. A big input delay throughout whole demo, couldn't hit anything when aiming, couldn't even properly parry, or even fly. Interference, or no interference, a game shouldn't be this way in either circumstance, and this isn't the first time I have seen this from a Miyomoto titles since Wii Music was almost unplayable on a HD TV. I hope they work really hard to get this crap fixed and working perfectly no matter what the circumstances are since seeing Zelda ruined would truly suck, or better yet just abandon a lot of these gimmicky ideas and Wii Motion Plus so I don't have to stand like a jackass in a awkward uncomfortable stance for 50 hours (I see myself using the shield by accident way too much).
Golden Sun: Dark Dawn
I loved the original Golden Sun (for some reason sequal bored me), and all we saw was another trailer but it's looking to be a great 3rd chapter in the series.
Goldeneye 007
Most likely just a cash-in on the name, just like the other one, but here's hoping. This also explains why Nintendo were such douches when MS was trying to release the original on XBLA.
Epic Mickey
Well Epic Mickey, well it looks epic (woo epic pun). It looks like it will be a really solid platformer with some cool little innovations. Of course the most interesting this of this title is it's being made by Warren Specter, the creator of the first 2 Deus Ex games, and I love those games so I am interested in how this game turns out.
Kirby Epic Yarn
Kirby's now wipping that yarn! Go you little pink puffball! So yeah, Kirby has quit his days of sucking and blowing everyone to whip them with yarn. His pimp gave him a promotion.
Metroid Another M
Probably the game I am most excited about for the Wii. It's being made by Team Ninja and is looking pretty awesome overall. However I am worried if they are trying too much since the gameplay is all over the place, 2.5D action game, 3rd person shooter, 3rd person adventure game, 2D adventure game. *head explodes* Team Ninja makes good games so hopefully it's good, but I can't ignore that Hayashi is now the head guy of Team Ninja, with a lot of Team Ninja's best at Valhalla gamea with Itagaki, and well Hayashi can be a idiot that does a lot of really dumb crap.
Donkey Kong Country Returns
You remember how ever DK game since N64 has made you hate life? Well it's now back to it's Rare days roots with a nice throw back to the SNES trilogy. Kong, Kong, DONKEY KONG! *beats chest* Ok I'll never do that again.
Kid Icarus: Uprising
Like I said, hot dark Medussa chick, hot light chick, terrible voice acting galore! Game looks fun though.
Killzone 3
Well they released half of Killzone 2, and looks like they'll be releasing second half of next year. Here's hoping the aiming controls aren't so bad they make Perfect Dark Zero and Far Cry Insincts Predator look like the best aiming ever, also here's hoping you don't have to constantly readjust aiming sensitivity every time you switch from multiplayer to campaign. Haha, what am I saying? It's made by Guerrilla, it will be a total pile of crap just like every other game they have made, but people won't admitt it since it's "pretty" and now in headache inducing 3D with optional move controls, WOO WOO. Ok that was mean, sorry Killzone fans.
The Sly Collection
A collection of the Sly Cooper trilogy on PS2 for PS3, now with annoying 3D. Never played the Sly Cooper series, might check this out since I have been interested in the series but never could find the original.
Mortal Kombat PS3
Now with 3D fatalities! Just so that when you get 3D motion sickness, you will have something to make sure you throw up. Ownage!
Heroes on the Move
A Move game featuring the lead characters of Ratchet and Clank, Jak, and Sly all in one game for the first time. Basically a terrible looking Move crossover title to cash-in on fans of those franchises.
Sorcery
The main demonstration game for Move, that unlike Zelda, actually worked! Looks bland level design and storywise, but also oddly fun and charming gameplay wise.
God of War: Ghost of Sparda
Same game we've have played 4 times already, once again on PSP.
Little Big Planet 2
Now with terrible multiplayer mini games!
Medal of Honor
PS3 exclusive Limited Edition comes with remake of Medal of Honor Frontlines. Sweet, now instead of screwing other consoles owners out of DLC or bonus content, EA stepped it up to screw people that buy 1 version of the game out a full freaking game! **** you too!
Dead Space 2
See above. PS3 exclusive Limited Edition comes with Dead Space Extraction HD. Just so you know I got the PS3 version of the original, and ment, and will, get PS3 version of 2, but still, more EA bullcrap. I think I speak once again for all 360 owners and PC owners when I say **** you!
Portal 2
Valve have finally accepted PS3, Portal will have Move controls, they said it would be best version, PS3 will have steam. Left 4 Dead PS3 Collection with Zoey playable in Left 4 Dead 2 Valve, kthx.
Final Fantasy 14
If you like MMORPG's, but hate PC's, well here you go. Hopefully it won't suck like XI.
Mario II
PS3 exclusive missions. Seeing how MS have been screwing Sony like this for a long time now, little exclusive extras this I am cool with.
Assassin's Creed Brotherhood
Again, PS3 exclusive missions.
Twister Metal
I feel asleep just thinking about.
Marvel vs Capcom 3
Looks freaking clunky! I was hoping for some sexy Chun-Li action at E3, and hopefully even Juri, but no, just clunky, terrible looking gameplay. Wait what I am saying? It's Capcom! They have the Anti-Midas touch now days, everything they touch turns to ****, and since this is a sequal to a unbalanced crapfest, it's to be expected. *sighs* I can dream it will get better though, I can dream. I also like how they obviously copied Guilty Gear's burst system and act like it's this amazing new feature.
Fallout New Vegas
It's basically Fallout 3 now made by a crappy developer. Let's all board that hype train, CHU CHU!
Ghost Recon Future Soldier
Still looks cool at it's showing today. Hopefully will be best military shooter out there. Still rockin with Snake's octo camo.
F.3.A.R.
They replaced the E with a 3, it has to be cool right? RIGHT? Oh well, at least you can make people explode as ghost Paxton, so that should be worth something. :D
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow
DO WANT! It looks like they are taking ideas from God of War and Shadow of Colossus, but making things a lot smoother with Castevania flavor. Although since Kojima Production is part of it, the vampires better not sparkle. :(
Well that's all I want to talk about out of E3 I have seen today. Sorry if I got a little ranty and made anyone be all "HMMMMMMPPPPPPP~" at me.
