Here's a bunch of new trailers from some announcement straight from this year's E3 expo :P
(with my own comments and view on all that)
First off, let's start with Ninja Gaiden 3. The first modern NG to be made by the new Team Ninja without its ol' chief Itagaki, and Tecmo.
Looks decent enough so far. Kinda good looking hack & slash game.
And the first one to be uncensored on the PS3 (so far all PS3 NG conversions had been cut on the bloody aspect)
Kinda generic, but I'm sure fans will like this one.
And now, some gameplay footage from Bethesda Softworks & id Software first game under new partnership, RAGE!
Nice, very nice!
Love how iD updated their engine.
Looking deep, beautiful and quite fun. Hope it doesn't get boring or too gimmicky near its second half (of the game).
Meanwhile Peter Molyneux gets creative with his franchise and offers us this interview:
I've never been interested much in this series, but with Fable: The Journey it seems Microsoft Game Studios and Lionhead Studiosare trying to destroy a series with some potential into a generic Kinect kiddie rail shooter... And a poorly inspired one at that :P
And now, the launch trailer for Techland's Dead Island!
A very interesting zombie game that I'd suggest you keep an eye on :P
Not quite "multiplayer random" like L4D (which is good enough for what it is, calm down L4D fans!!).
Not quite "single player sandbox" like the Dead Rising games.
Seems like a good mix of both. And some survival aspects to it (few ammo to manage, scarce health around, etc..)
Microsoft continues to try selling us their Kinect, now with some more actual games
and
licenses!
It's Kinect Star Wars!
It's a bit laggy!
It's probably just a cutscene playing on the background with a guy mimicking/making us think he's actually playing.
Anyway, as much a fan of SW as I am, you'll need to do much better than that to convert me to Kinect. *goes back to playing Master System Star Wars*
Here's the first gameplay video ever of the upcoming rebooted Tomb Raider in the hands of Square Enix. (with Crystal Dynamics still working on the game itself)
Alright this looks lovely, graphically speaking.
But let's be honest.. this isn't Tomb Raider anymore! (and I wasn't that a big fan of this series anyway! apart from all 3 Crystal Dynamics modern games)
It isn't simply a platforming game anymore. But a survival horror. Which makes this game seem even more generic (that's what I say when they force down franchises on different paths..)
Why didn't they call this "Lara Croft and the ..." something-something like the Xbox live spinoff, or simply "Lara Croft".
Ugh...
On HALO's side, Microsoft Game Studios thinks it's time to remember us that the Halo franchise exists...with a remake of the Xbox original in Halo Anniversary!
Was it really necessary? I doubt it...
But this generation seems to have a problem checking past work, just see how many reboots/remakes there is, across any medium!
Specially with the original being not that far graphically (it isn't a PS1 game you know!) and being fully playable on any Xbox 360... (AND it being available on the Xbox live/PC as well...)
At least they said it won't be full price.
But don't worry, if a fully priced new game is what you want...
Here's Halo 4!
The first one not being developed by creator studio Bungie.
What annoys me already (in this gaming market saturated by unoriginal ideas and sequels): It's the dawn of a new trilogy.
Fanboys cry, kids weep, llamas graze.
Here's to change our ideas:
Twisted Pixel's Ms. 'Splosion Man overview trailer!
Fun, looking awesome.
(E3 trailers to be continued....)
(...in another post!)
