E3 2013 - Page 2

I'm curious if KH3 and FFXV will be exclusive to PS3. I feel like no, since they didn't say that explicitly.

Regardless, I'm more sold on PS4 than ever. Killzone, Driveclup, Infamous, and The Order all look like really great launch titles.

Also, I really want to buy a Vita. The only thing holding me back is that it uses those stupid expensive proprietary memory cards instead of regular SD cards. I won't buy one until they fix that.

Here's the problem with Nintendo...
And I was hoping this show would remedy it in some fashion

They have a good line-up
But it also kind of represents the system for the next year or so.. and there isn't enough 3rd party titles there to kind of... fill in the huge voids between releases.

TBH I completely expected this and I have other consoles + my PC to fill in those voids.

Well yeah

But even the Wii got some cool and novel 3rd party titles

Boom Blox, No More Heroes, Deadly Creature, de Blob, etc
And it doesn't even look like getting those
But we'll see

Vampyr · 06-11-2013, 02:42 PM

Actually never played any of those.

Wii U has some stuff from Platinum Games though - Bayonetta 2 & Wonderful 101.

Also have a Splinter Cell, Raymond Legends, Xenoblade sequel, and several eshop games.

Well most all of those we knew coming into this event

And most of those sans the Ubisoft stuff... are all first party

The eShop has potential, but right now it's still warming up

BaB, those games you mentioned were all released pretty late in the Wii's life. Certainly not within the first year.

I think 3rd parties were pretty skeptical about the U so far. And the slow start of the console didn't improve things.
Now with all these great Nintendo games announced, I'm sure the console will pick up sales. And developers are going to stream back to Nintendo.

So, it is clear the Xbox One is on a collision course with failure. I wonder if the Xbox division has become too bureaucratized within the Microsoft hierarchy to such a point in which most major decisions are now made by business professionals and not videogame professionals. Seems a somewhat likely cause given their strategy and subsequent reaction.

On the whole, this next generation just seems uninspired and rather awful.

Fox 6 · 06-11-2013, 08:23 PM

XBone seems terrible compared to the PS4

Combine and I have been having some truly great and epic rounds of battlefield 3, and it looks like 4 should be great.

That being said, I think after 2 Xbox's it might be time for a change.......

So im too lazy to really look to be positive, but im assuming that Retro is working on the new Donkey Kong for Wii U?

I have to say this is SLIGHTLY disappointing. Im the biggest fan ever of what they did with Donkey Kong Country Returns, but I really wanted to see them back at work at a new Metroid or possibly a new IP. That being said I know this new Donkey Kong will be amazing.

Im also SLIGHTLY disappointed that the new Mario game is more like Mario 3d Land than Mario Galaxy. I LOVED Mario 3d Land but I think it's better suited for the 3DS. It basically looked exactly like 3dLand only in HD. I would have rather seen them back to Galaxy only on a bigger scale. But that's my 2cents.

Sony basically killed it with the used games announcement and the fact that you wont have to be online to play offline games. That's just stupidity on Microsofts part. Plus its $100 cheaper. Only thing I didn't care for is that PS4 online multiplayer will require a PS+ membership. I'll get over that one because PS+ has really been offering a lot of perks lately (so many so ive been close to actually joining myself). Plus, it sounds like you WILL NOT have to be a PS+ member if you just want to stream Netflix and this like that. And it sounds like you will have to subscribe to Xbox Live to do basically anything on the Xbox One.

Plus Bill Gates will watch you through your Kinect while you sleep.

BreakABone · 06-12-2013, 12:11 AM

I will say
This was my absolute favorite image of all of e3

But Bill Gates is long gone from the Microsoft gig. Instead, you got Steve Ballmer watching you while you sleep.

If the Xbox One fails it will have nothing to do with DRM, internet connectivity, or "spy cameras". Outside of gamers and geeks, no one cares about any of that. Outside of the used game issue all the complaining is a self-contained echo chamber of nerd rage. If MS can convince families that the XBox One is a replacement for the DVR, remote control, Blue Ray player, streaming media player, etc. it will succeed.
