So today marks the first day (?) of E3. IMO, this year's E3 has probably some of the best showcases I've seen.
First off, Gears of War 3- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFmYbaAjrfo
The demo, honestly, wasn't anything too flashy, but I was impressed how fluid the cinematics and character movement is now. Gears REALLY has come a long way and I can't wait to play it. MP of the year for me. Gears is my forte. FPSs are easy to pick up and play, but with a TPS like Gears, there's more to it than just point and shoot and I think that's why I prefer this over FPSs. TL;DR ver. FPS is too easy. TPS is more challenging.
Next, SSX- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvizmCS8kAY
WHAAAT?!? SSX?!? Yes, believe it or not, I've always thought snowboarding was cool as shit. My first grasp of a snowboarding videogame was Cool Boarders 2, but it was a demo. My REAL grasp on the genre was with SSX 3, which I LOVED to play back in the day. Luckily, I bought it yesterday for $4 @Gamestop and even today, the graphics and animations are really well done for a PS2 game. I seriously can't wait for this game to come out cuz it looks sick.
Mass Effect 3- http://www.ign.com/videos/games/mass-effect-3-xbox-360-14235014
OMFGOMFGOMFGOMFG. I'm really curious as to how this trilogy ends. The gameplay looks slick, the graphics remind me of Gears 3, and DAT STORY. DAMMIT, I can't even think up words right now to describe how amazing this game'll be. I'm still pissed that they pushed it back to next year, 3-6-12...
Halo CE Remake- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9g1U-Qy2jx4
Honestly, idk about this game yet. Seems like it'll play JUST like Reach w/o the load outs I presume, and the engine looks just like Reach, which isn't bad, but it's something I've seen and played before already. Kinda losing interest in Halo already, but I may pick this up sometime later. Not a Day 1 GETTING for me.
Halo 4- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFW-v8IwE5Q
Still, idk. I mean, I'll get it for the story, yeah, but FUCK, seeing the CE remake and this at the same day? Halo needs to slow down, I mean, they JUST released Reach last year and CE remake is coming this holiday and 4 coming out the following holiday. This'll probably be a Day 1 GET for me, but I'm not too hyped about it right now.
Battlefield 3- http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/battlefield_bad_company/archive/2011/06/06/brand-new-battlefield-3-e3-videos.aspx
FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU---------
CoD, just lost. Seriously. It just lost after I watched these 2 trailers. I mean THIS is what an FPS should be. Realistic movements and sound, destructible environments. FUCK, this game will probably be the start of a new generation of FPS. Compare this to CoD...CoD is just some cheap kid's game. Also...MAINSTREAM SHIT. Everyone plays CoD, but why? I mainly played CoD for a semi-realistic FPS experience, but after CoD4, that went away completely and now it's too arcade-y. BF3 on the other hand will be a new experience. One that completely washed CoD away. Already have this mofo pre-ordered and I CANT WAIT! I hope there are other ways to get in the beta though...
Skyrim- http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-2011-gameplay-walkthrough/714852
Honestly, I've NEVER played Elder Scrolls. I've played Fallout 3, which I heard is kinda like it, and I liked it for its open world. After seeing this trailer though, I WANT TO GET SKYRIM NAO. The world looks HUGE. 150+ DUNGEONS. 300+ HOURS OF GAMEPLAY. FUCKING DRAGONS. HOT DAMN. I'll wait on my pre-order though because Gears 3 is top priority right now.
