Topic: E3 2014

For me, the games that stood out were Bloodborne, Battlefront,  and Mirror's Edge. LBP 3 is up there too, but the new characters there seems like a gimmick. Loved the other games though, so still pretty excited.

That Zelda alone wins E3. Wow. No Man's Sky is the only game that comes close to it for me.

Nintendo's digital event was amazing, I mean Zelda.

Splatoon too looked like great fun. Reminded me of Super Mario Sunshine in reverse. The Wii U is getting harder and harder to ignore now. Will be brilliant to have Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft all in healthy positions making great video games available to anyone and everyone.

Splatoon definitely caught my interest could be a really tactical intense game with all the given variables.

Yeah, I'd have to say this was a fairly easy win for Nintendo, at least among the big three. We'll see what ends up being the bigger deal, Scalebound or Devil's Third. Scalebound is intriguing for sure but I'm not sure if it'll move Xbox Ones in Japan and outside of that region I'm not sure it'll click with the Xbox audience in the other territories. Love the attempt by MS but it mind end up like some of the experiments with Japanese games for 360. I'd imagine Devil's Third and Xenoblade X will be games that keep Nintendo in front in Japan (lets face it, Sony still hasn't given much reason for that region to buy into PS4) and I think MH 4 might be getting a Wii U release as well, don't know how big an impact it'll make but it is a big game.

Off the top of my head though, Smash, Star Fox, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Bayonetta 2 (with the first packaged in), Devil's Third and, oh man, that Zelda, I really don't know how people could continue to ignore the system, especially when it's also at good price point with still an opportunity for another price cut and if I'm working at Nintendo I'm doing that when Smash hits.

So far I think this was a fair E3, I haven't really had time to watch a whole lot of it due to work so I might be underrating it.

What I saw of Sony's it was ok.  I am excited about The Last of Us since I never played it on PS3. I know that some of you are rolling your eyes saying wow another port of a game I already played, but for someone like me who hasn't played the game and wouldn't if it didn't come to PS4 it's great news.

GTA V getting a PS4 port is not surprising, people have been whispering about that one since the PS4 and Xbox One were released and Rockstar isn't a bunch of dummies.  They will make so much money off of that just by people buying the game again, and I am sure it will move a few systems too.

I didn't see much on The Order or Destiny but what I did see of them I liked them alot.

Batman was no surprise either it looked really good.

Might consider a PS TV or whatever its called

As for the other two companies I just saw bit and pieces of Nintendo and Zelda Wii U and Starfox sound great and MS I really didn't hear too much from them but tomorrow I will be playing catch up on E3.

I may have to get a WiiU just for Zelda.

I have owned every Nintendo system since the original except the wii u.. that said, the Zelda announcement now has me on board .for me this has been mostly a disappointing E3 without a fallout 4 or any sight of a Shenmue 3 or HD shenmue remakes. I am excited for Zelda the Witcher 3 and no mans sky to name just a few but i just feel a bit depressed with Bethesda's showings and I am beginning to strongly dislike Sega for keeping Shenmue under lock and key.

There will be a new Shenmue the same time The Last Guardian is released.

I'm looking forward to playing these PS4 games announced/mentioned at E3 2014 .

PS4:
Assassin's Creed: Unity
Batman: Arkham Knight
Bloodborne
Dragon Age: Inquisition
Final Fantasy Type-0 HD
Grand Theft Auto V (Remaster)
Lords of the Fallen
Mass Effect 4
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor
Ratchet & Clank (2015 reboot)
Rise of the Tomb Raider
The Evil Within
The Last of Us Remastered
The Order: 1886
Tom Clancy's The Division
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End

I've been through every video of every game I could find now and I have to say that I am glad the Wii U get's some dearly needed life-infusion. But most of it is not for me and certainly no system seller at all. It's all already-treated terrain except maybe Splatoon. Zelda looks nice (for WIi U) but I think I've played plenty like it (just with different setting, other chars). I do get the appeal of it all to Nintendo fans though, that said Im glad Nintendo is not dead yet. I personally found more than 5 Games I'm looking eagerly forward to and enough of them will keep me busy easily into 2015. I understand different tastes and all but I really don't understand people saying the E3 and the conferences sucked. There were WAY worse E3s and I think we can universally agree that it wasn't "rock bottom" - if it was good or excellent depends on your personal game choice obviously. I just don't get people that were waiting for that ONE announcement (for example Last Guardian or Fallout 4) and because it wasn't there EVERYTHING was poop. Guys enjoy what we're getting, there's more on the way.

For now I can keep myself busy with...

- Watch_Dogs (going for Plat)
- Metal Gear Solid Ground Zero (got hyped again after seeing new Trailer, borrowed it from a friend, going for Plat)
- Elder Scrolls Online PC (playing with my friends, transferring to PS4 asap)
- Diablo 3 Ultimate Evil Edition (this will eat all my time)
- Destiny (this will eat all my time)
- The Crew
- GTA V (gonna triple dip on this - had it on Xbox360 before I switched sides to Sony, then on PS3, it's just that good)
- Broforce (following this game since Alpha, loving it)
- Planetside 2 (loved it on PC, release on PS4 is long overdue)
- Project Cars ( also following this game since Alpha, loving it)

with that alone I'm well into autumn/winter and holiday season and beyond into 2015 and then comes a whole bunch of other games im interested in, namely:

- Bloodborne
- MGS Phantom Pain (never played MGS before, Ground Zeroes got me hooked)
- No Man's Sky (Epic!)
- Rise of the Tomb Raider (seriously enjoying where this franchise is heading, going to pickup "Tomb Raider" for cheap sometime and play it before this)
- Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris (yay! COOP, loved the guardian of light)
- FarCry 4 (looks epic and has Troy Baker)
- The Devision (far way out probably but looks awesome)
- Rainbow Six Siege (awesome!)
- Mortal Kombat X (looks stunning, big fan of the franchise)
- EverQuest Next (most anticipated game in a decade, IF it makes 2015)
- Star Wars Battlefront III (DONT mess this up EA)
- Uncharted 4 (no explanation needed)

And here and there are still games unannounced or indies I might pick up inbetween. So seriously. My gaming hobby is well fed with content probably until Winter 2015 and beyond, considering E3 next year will yet again unveil many more games. For me, best game in gaming since the golden early 2000's.
The only thing I dearly wish for still (but abandoned all hope really) is something in the scale of BATTLEFIELD 1942 (which was the best big battle shooter EVER) - Planetside 2 will have to fill that gap for me.

IF I still have time (self-employed, im on a time-budget really) I'd pickup several Vita and maybe a few 3DS games here and there as well.

Loving it!

Even I'm not saying this E3 or any of the big 3's conferences sucked, so yeah, I don't get it either. To me the measure of E3 is always how many games I'm looking forward to and how many I go out and pre-order the next day. I can say the list is well over 10 and I've already pre-ordered five, I'll add more when the funds are available.

Since I go full digital this time on PS4 pre-orderes have to wait until they pop up in the PS Store. But yeah, like you, Im well sourced with games to enjoy!
Any Chance you're going to play Destiny? I still need a few folks to run around with...

Yeah, Destiny is pre-ordered. I might mess around with the multiplayer, but I'm actually more of a singleplayer guy. I'll also admit, eventhough I play a lot of games I wouldn't classify my skills as anything more than average. I'm in for some multi but if you want to get real serious sessions going where you're constantly kicking ass, I'm probably not the guy to invite to join a clan or whatever.

Ha, don't worry. Im far from "PRO Gamer" just figured you have a nice mindset and must be fun to hang around in a game with. Im pretty sure "Reverend_Skeeve" would be with us as well - and a few others I've already added on PSN. So no stress mate, we're all in for the fun. If you'd add me to your PSN (same name as here) I'd be glad!

Sent a friend request. Down for some multi if we're ever on at the same time. I'm in the States but I have crazy hours because I work at night so you'll probably see me on from time to time.

Hoping for it! Adding you as soon as I'm back on PSN!

Must admit I am massively disappointed with Sony at E3 this year. Personally all this E3 has done is shown me my desire of getting a PlayStation for the games Nintendo misses (third party) was true. Sony themselves have nothing, absolutely nothing, I am interested in. If it wasn't for my Trophy collection - sadly become addicted - I'd switch to the Xbox One as it has one - ONE - exclusive I want, Sunset Overdrive. Sony, at the moment, have nothing for me.

Lost interest when you suggested Zelda isn't a system seller. That's like saying we don't need oxygen. Only No Man's Sky came close graphically to Zelda. All these games we'll be playing over the next year or two will look dated in five years. Zelda and No Man's Sky won't because of their art style. For example Uncharted one looks nowhere near as good as Wind Waker does now.

After this E3, I'm definetely on the fence of switching to Xbox One when I decide to buy another console. My Wii U is keeping me busy and I loved the new announcmets from Nintendo, specially Splatoon, which came out of nowhere and got me really interested in it.
Sony and MS don't have much interesting exclusives right now, but MS is doing a little better trying to get them. Their exclusive from Platinum Games got my attention as I never played a bad game from Platinum.
This E3 also disapointed me a lot due to the absolute lack of Vita games. If there was a release window for Gravity Rush 2, I'd be happy, but there was nothing and I couldn't believe that FF Type-0 will be released on PS4 and Xbox One but not on the Vita...
