According to Suikosource, http://www.suikosource.com/, last year the origianl Suikoden team was disolved, but then in Septemeber a new “spinoff” game was annouced for the PSP. I guess the series is still technically alive, albeit on life support.
Now I’ll be playing across Time and Space too! Thanks [STRIKE]Generic Action Figure Man![/STRIKE]
Edit: Whoops. That’s Non-Specific Action Figure! I really need to keep my meaningless action figures straight.
Non-Specific Action Figure is not pleased with my incompetence. Will I not be able to play across Space and Time? Will it not be curtains for me?
Welp! Microsoft’s done.
It’s a sad sad day when your most entertaining title is fucking South Park. Trey Parker and Matt Stone did what pretty much everybody else wanted to do, post some game footage then immediately vacate the building.
The rest consisted…
Metroid Prime 4: Halo
Call of Duty: Splinter Cell
Football
Football
Forza: Dubstep Edition
Necks of War: Baird Edition
Some more Lara Croft torture porn
Some thing where progressively bigger dudes get gibed by progressively bigger dudes.
Resident Evil: Quick Time Event edition
Angry Birds: Kinect
And Call of Duty: Call of Duty Edition
and a solid hour of Kinect/Bing/Nike/Tablet/ESPN/ZuneMKII bullshit.
EA Trip Report!
Dead Space 3: Gears of Dead Space
Madden 13 Fuck it were going full RPG (also we have the most realistic physics just as a guy goes over like a rag doll)
Sim City Face Book
Sim City 5 actually looks interesting with multiplayer
Expansions for Battlefield
Same with TOR
Medal of Honor putting me to sleep
Social sports
UFC partnership that only meat heads care about
Need for Speed Remake actually putting me to sleep (but so far the only game actually being played this E3 as evident by a car getting stuck on a pole)
But I woke up in time for some Crysis 3 ripping steel support bars out of the ground and shooting down helicopters with a fucking bow and arrow
Christ! Out of everything Sim City 5 is by far and away the most interesting thing to come out of this year’s E3. At least EA had the decency to be sort of amusing at times which is a far cry above Microsoft dropping TV/movie spoilers and selling sneakers/iphones/ipads.
Didn’t get to watch anything today. Doesn’t seem I missed much.
Is she still gasping and moaning like a pornstar faking a orgasm like last year?
MS selling Apple products at E3? Really?
Well who else provides all those Smartphones and Tablets that everybody already have? You’re not going to be able to use Master Chief’s Scan Visor without one.
Yes she is and the villains are even creepier to her than before.
As for the rest of today’s conferences
Ubisoft:
Far Cry 3 painted tits, multiple islands, tigers, and surreal dream sequences. Oh my!
Rayman looks like Rayman
A bunch of WiiU stuff
Ass Creed 3 looks solid if nothing particularly new beyond changing seasons and tri-corner hats
Shooter Nation “lets give those girls a pickup”
Watchdogs is basically hackers version of Ass Creed with team support and is probably by far and away the best reveal for this year’s E3
Sony:
Beyond can only go beyond my expectations after Heavy Rain
Sony Smash Bros. gives no surprises
PSN blah blah blah free yearly subscription for attendees
Call of Dooty blah Ops confidential blah blah
Ass Creed Lady-edition now in a bundle Ass Creed 3 can haz botes and also in a bundle
Left 3 Farcry was watched in slideshow format
Move
AR Books lolololololol got ta zazz up dem boks with CYOA of Hogwarts wizardy lolololololol five house points! for probably being the most hilariously awful reveal for this year.
PS Sweet now Mobile Nathan Drake on your Android
God of War with release date of 3/12/13
And The Last of Us to close out today’s festival of hilarity/disappointments
Ubisoft being Ubisoft and Watchdogs being awesome have pretty much clenched best in show for this year but Nintendo still has at least one more conference and have proven hilariously self-aware thus far so it isn’t a sealed deal yet.
Sony disappointed with the most obvious reveals for Sony Smash Bros but their Wunder Books brought the hilarity these proceedings so desperately needed.
EA showed people actually playing one of their games and getting stuck on a pole in the process.
And Trey Parker and Matt Stone were the only point of interest during the whole of MS’s proceedings and the rest could only appeal to multiarmed ADD addled cavemen of below freezing IQ levels with money and a need for shoes for their athletes’ feet.
Aaaaand Nintendo’s done…
Sorry, did I blink and miss it or they basically had jack fucking shit to show besides their newfangled Mario Party clone?
Wow, this E3 sucked.
Yup. WiiU jerking. But 3DS get their own conference at another time.
Well, with them fronting games and kick-ass titles (and the 3DS prototype and release) the last two years, they needed an expo to gush over their new upcoming console, that was to be expected. But we’ve had a year to speculate about it, so nothing was very much surprising from them this year, just updates and protocol. Still, not too terribly bad on Ninten’s part.
Needed more Reggie…
On another note, fuck Valve for not announcing shit.
They were too busy saying they didn’t have time to show anything to show anything. Still have hope for an Awakening release date for that 3DS thing tomorrow night but otherwise 
.
That said…
Hot:
Pikmin 3
New Super Mario Bros. U
Paper Mario
And that Dancing Puppet Master thing
Not:
ZombiU
That face thing
New Super Mario Bros.: Bling Edition
3DS? What’s a 3DS? Find out tomorrow
[STRIKE]Disney[/STRIKE]Nintendoland. They’ve reached full Disney!
Ehh:
All those games that everybody else already own, DLC and all (a power attack and other superficial waggle attachments don’t exactly warrant rebuying the exact same game)
Wii Fit U
Scriblenaughts
SiNG (unless this was the puppet master thing since I can imagine myself being a total douche with that).
Lego City: CSI Miami Five-O edition
Basically Nintendo’s in full console launch mode and those never go well (hell they promised us the stars and the moon with the 3DS and look where that is now).
Reggie Edit: So apparently they decided to not even bring up that Platinum Games thing they have waiting in the wings.
Double Edit: http://e3.nintendo.com/games/#/wiiu/tank-tank-tank
So it looks like somebody took a look at the EDF games and said “We need Tanks!”. Why in god’s name didn’t they show this off instead of Scribblenauts? This actually looks fun as fuck.
Am I the only one who only understood like half, at most, of those summaries? I mean I get that it was lame, I just really have no clue what “it” was for about fifty percent of the its in question.
Sorry about that. This year’s events were so draining that I could barely stay awake for half of them plus due to massive streaming issues I was AFK to watch in on TV for most of the time (ironically the biggest fuck ups this year were committed by Gametrailers coverage) so I’m going to go back and rewatch at least Sony’s conference while I wait for Nintendo conference mk3DS before trying again.
In the meanwhile have some Final Fantasy tech demo.
Note: This has nothing to do with Versus, XIII-3, or XIV-2.
I don’t understand what that is? Realtime tech demo?
3DS conference summary…
N
O
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
(I’ll conceed that Paper Mario and Castlevania looked decent but you couldn’t even be bothered to mention Awakening? FUCK YOU!)
WTF!EDIT: SERIOUSLY? VIA TWITTER!? THAT’S HOW YOU’RE GOING TO ANNOUNCE AWAKENING!?!?
MOTHER OF CHRIST YOU PEOPLE ARE BAD AT THIS!!!
You sure are angry about video games.
SimCity facebook could be the antichrist, so he’s right. Besides, people pontificate about marketing everywhere; why not here?
P.S. And how are you GAP? Long time no see.
Basically ^This. Hell, I’m surprised that they weren’t selling time shares (maybe next year).
E3 is a big marketing blitz. 98% of it is total horseshit anyway. If you’re seriously bothered by the parade of feces that is trotted out during this cavalcade of marketing lies, you need to re-examine your life.
And hi, Rig. Doing okay. You?
Doing fine, thanks. Still visiting on and off though the forums don’t have a lot of activity.
I wouldn’t say 98% is total horseshit. A lot of it is demos and alpha builds and so on, so in a lot of cases it is bullshit, simply for the fact that it’s not the actual product at launch.
This years E3 was totally lame. I think the only thing that interested me was Halo 4, and it’s disappointing that all I really saw were sequels. The lack of new Intellectual Properties is truly disheartening.
An industry friend of mine though said he might try to get tickets for me new year so… fingers crossed! Next year should see some new consoles, so that’d be pretty dope.
