Sony may have had the best games for their console, but they completely failed at what I feel they needed to do. For me, Sony HAD to go all out on the Vita. It needed to be Vita announcement after announcement after announcement. Sony may have had the strongest showing out of the three, but they threw their handheld under a bus. Nobody won E3. All three lost. MS showed nothing interesting. Sony threw the Vita under a bus and Nintendo did nothing to get people interested in Wii U.
@franky111 Check out the demo that was shown on IGN about 20 minutes ago. VERY different feel and gameplay style to the MS conference one. Two different demos. Two different styles of gameplay. Which one is representative of the entire game? Probably neither, because it's likely that the game will have both open exploration gameplay elements in addition to the more linear gameplay sections we saw at the MS conference.
I agree with the article, but to be fair to Tomb Raider that short demo from the MS conference isn't representative of the entire game. A demo that was shown on IGN today showed a different demo that took place in a much more open forest environment. It also restored my faith in that game in general and actually does look like a TR game, unlike the super linear section shown at the MS conference.
@sephiroth-87 No, Tomb Raider is not competing with Uncharted. Competing implies it will be a similar type of game. It won't be. It will not have a big emphasis on cover based shooting. The platforming will not be completely automated and the puzzles are actually going to be good and important instead of just being there for the sake of "variety". It will also be a hell of a lot more open and less linear. The entire tone of the game is completely different as well. Both in story and gameplay. What, because it throws in a few big set pieces the gameplay is all of a sudden comparable?
@DashRender619 @wolfgang12193 You're an idiot. It's a game. A fighting game with superheroes/villains would NEVER work if they stuck to the constraints of those characters abilities/strengths/weaknesses. No, there's no way a regular mortal like Harley Quinn would survive a car being smashed on top of her. Who ****ing cares? Some characters from the DC Universe simply would lose against certain characters in "real" fights. It's a game. For the purposes of a game it has to be balanced.
This game features interactivity with the environment, such as using cars in the environment to smash your opponent. A pretty cool feature. The things characters can do in the game in general are pretty crazy, and in real life would kill in one hit. It's a game, and doing these crazy awesome moves in a good fighting game with these awesome characters is great. If you want realism you're looking at the wrong game. Deal with it.
@fanirama Thank you for bringing back hilarious memories of Superman 2. Seriously, what the hell was that? Awesome movie, but the part where he throws his S at that guy was just stupid.
@garyperson Kinda true, though Europe is a lot more relevant now than it used to be. Did you know that in Europe the Sega Master System outsold the NES?
