What have you guys liked so far?

I like:
-new Twisted Metal
-Battlefield 3
-PS Vita (this looks very cool)
-FFXIII-2
-Street Fighter X Tekken
 
EA has had the best conference so far, though I could easily give it to Ubi because they gave no fucks and hired captain methhead to promo for them; BF3, FC3, GRAW, and that's about it really. The vita is kinda cool but with a really dumb name, the interactibility between console and handheld is just going to double the cost of games (Buy the VITA version and the PS3 version).

Microsoft won't shut up about kinect, has minecraft, new Halo trilogy, and a bunch of games that interact with 'kinect' by using a feature that could be done with a headset.
 
Mass Effect 3's use of Kinect is about as clear an example of "shoehorning in a feature" as you could find.
 
Minecraft on the xbox is pretty exciting, I hope it includes online play. Then of course Skyrim and Bioshock 3. MW3 looks like another MW2 but I usually enjoy the single player campaigns quite a bit so will end up getting it eventually. Batman: Arkham City looks like the bee's knees. YouTube/Bing integration on the xbox, though I wasn't 100% clear on whether it would be getting a web browser as a part of that (I hope it does).

I'm not disappointed, more than a few games I'm interested in and some new xbox features. Skyrim gameplay footage had me drooling.

It seems this year will be rather bleak...
Just this one ?

Already for years the masses of "sequels" and "reboots" on the E3 is outnumbering any new or own concepts.

But the E3 is actually that. You will not see that many indie developers there or those which actually make games aiming for 3 Million sales in the first 2 months.
 
That's the same use of Kinect for most main stream games; something that could easily be accomplished with headset.

But I'd also throw up every use of the sixaxis in PS3 games; always unnecessary, always terrible.

EDIT: I too am psyched for MW3's campaign since it's actually going to be crazy world exploding WWIII. So I'm gonna buy it used and return it in a week to get all my money back.
 
It's not very interesting, but most E3s are not.

Catwoman trailer

Catwoman looks ridiculous but hey it's a comic book character. Looking forward to that game.

Looking vaguely forward to ME3, which just looks like ME2++ with more stupid bossfights. Skyrim looks great in the demo Todd showed, but Bethesda games always look great in demos so that doesn't tell us shit.

Haha, that controller is humongous. Looks very unergonomic.

I have only seen the first 2 Batman movies so I am by no means a Batman connoisseur but shouldn't her face be covered, doesn't she care about keeping her identity secret?
 
That game will take place in a part of the city built to house the criminals and the insane people of Gotham, so I don't think Catwoman really cares if the other criminals know who she is.

Everyone knows who she is already in the comics.

I'm guessing they're going the same route here.

The Wii U looks well and truly ridiculous and is, as people feared, basically Wii HD.

No doubt it'll still sell like hotcakes.

Jesus tap dancing christ on a rubber crutch. Nintendo, stop....just (sigh) stop. You're done. Game over. You can sell a bajillion shitty consoles. I just want these fuckers to get off their asses and make games again. The consoles and tripe gimmicky crap are making me want to just burn my girlfriends Wii out of spite. I heard they were making a new console. I was hoping that they could step up to the plate a make something decent. They shot the shit out of that. Hell, even the 3ds is banking on 10+ year old games to sell it.


In short.......

EDIT: Also, I am now officially a PC gamer again. Building a new rig.....NOW!
 
If you think that's bad, Clark Kent's disguise consists of a pair of glasses. And no one has any idea that he's Superman.

Gotta love comics. :roll:
 
Bioshock: Infinite looks decent, but I'm worried about Elizabeth. That much cleavage means something is wrong with the game.
