Thanks for all the E3 coverage PushSquare staff!

Five years ago they had enough to make a trailer for E3, but since then they've had nothing to show? Even if it's been transferred to PS4, shouldn't they be able to show the same trailer in PS4 graphics now?

Oh well, they are probably saving it for TGS, and whatever that Killstrain and or Guerilla game for Gamescom.

No more Assassin's Creed! How about a nice Ubi Art PoP title? Or a sequel to PoP 2008?

Nintendo won the show but here's what caught my attention.
MS:
Halo 5
Halo MC Collection
Fable Legends
Project Spark
Ori and the Blind Forest
Below (hope this is multiplat eventually)

Sony:
Defense Grid 2
Little Big Planet 3
Abzu
No Mans Sky
Uncharted 4
Gunship X (Vita)

Multiplatform:
Batman Arkham Knight (incredible.)
Inside (from creator of Limbo)
Mirror's Edge 2
Lara Croft Temple of Osiris (Guardian was great, looking forward to this one.)
Evolve =interesting concept but will never get it.
Rise of the Tomb Raider Rises: Rise (uhg..Idk, I miss old TR Legend series.)
Destiny (it's hard not to be attracted to it, but the online turns me off.)
MGS V PP (so dark and grisly though, idk.)
Lovers in a Dangerous Space Time (awesome!), Cup Head, Bro Force (Idk, maybe.), Counter Spy (Idk, maybe.),Tengami, Cubemen 2, Nihilumbra (maybe.),Teslagrad, Two Brothers (maybe.), Wooden Sen Sey, A.N.N.E., Earthlock, Chariot, Affordable Space, Shovel Knight, Stealth inc. 2, Shantae games. Some other indies I can't recall right now.

Nintendo:
Pushmo World
Smash Bros Wii U
Yoshi's Wooly World
Capt. Toad
Legend of Zelda Wii U
Hyrule Warriors
Xenoblade Chronicles X (story will blow probably, imo.)
Mario Maker
Splatoon (maybe, if there is offline as well as online.)
Mario V DK
Star Fox and Projects
(2D and 3D Metroid were mentioned favorably so that's nice.)
Codename STEAM
Theatrhythm Curtain Call
FF Explorers

I'm glad there are more announcements, because the more I think about it the poorer Sony's E3 was, imo.
Gravity Rush 2, Heavenly Sword 2, The Last Guardian, Beyond Good & Evil 2, FF XV, Shenmue 3.
These games need to show soon.

@get2sammyb Do you think Until Dawn is being reworked as a PS4+Move+Morpheus title?

@Gamer83 I agree. I prefer console over portable. I wanted the first one to come to PS3.

LBP 3
Abzu
Batman
No Man's Sky looks nice too, but not for me.
Gunship X for Vita looks interesting.
MGS is just getting too dark and violent and depressing. Looking forward to that indie teams remake of Metal Gear though.

It must be from an alternate dimension where Sony and Nintendo's partnership in the early nineties succeeded, and Nintendo managed to survive it as a recognizable entity.

"KYE DODSON, sporting a Marvel's Superman T-shirt, plays the Nintendo Splatoon on Day 2..."

Dodson! Dodson! We've got Dodson here!

I think we're all gathered here today to say goodbye to ... sorry, ran out of memory.
The 'Vita' is a walking dead machine. Poor little fella. Sony's idea of remote play won't save it either because now developers can ignore it even more. It's just a controller, something to mildly compete with the Wii U Gamepad. It's being positioned as an optional controller, not a game machine in it's own right. So expect an excruciating trickle of titles, mostly digital only softcore-'stuff' from Japanese devs, and any quality stuff when Sony finds time to throw it a bone.
Think about it. Square-enix spent the money to reengineer Type-0 for PS4, and xBone of all things, not Vita. That's a real punch in the gut when they know they make money in the portable market and release games on 3DS/iOS relatively often.

I wonder if Gravity Rush 2 is being rebuilt for PS4.

My favorite part was when they didn't lower the price of memory cards. Guess I still won't be playing much on my Vita, even if there was something to play on it.

Why wasn't this at the press conference?

Oh yes! This was an amusing part of Sony's E3. I'm not interested in the game, but it was a funny reveal.

That was an amazing troll by SE! Vita owners were breaking down in tears on the PS Blog, and then oh, sorry, PS4 not Vita! Where's that gif of Dwayne Johnson applauding when I need it?

Yes, Mortal Kombat is also disgusting. So is the recently announced Loadout. And yes, a show glorifying a cannibal is also offensive, and I'm disappointed in Mads for taking the role.

Ultimately underwhelming for me. Disgusting at times, and boring at others. LBP3, and ABZU, were nice moments though.

This and Project Beast are the same game, right? Right.

Disgusting, vulgar, and offensive. Somethings wrong with the "mind" that thinks up this 'entertainment', the company that promotes this, even in a public worldwide press conference, the audience that applauds this garbage, and the person who derives entertainment from it.
Have people lost the ability to look objectively at what they are watching and say "Really, I want to put this in my head? Why?" Goichi Suda needs to be held accountable for this trash.

Psychedelics aren't for me, thanks.

Here we go! This looks exciting. Looks like a successor of sorts to Aquaria. I wish something new could have been shown of Rime.

White looks nice!

I think a lot of DS fans will be disappointed that Project Beast turned out to be this, but maybe not. Certainly not for me. EDIT: As in, this isn't a game for me. And by DS I mean a lot were really hoping this would be DS2, taking place in the same world/lore.

Looks quite nice, but I'm not interested in mmogs. Hats off to a four person team though. Procedural generation does take some of the load away if I understand correctly.

This looks fun. Although I'm disappointed in how the main villain looks. EDIT: My bad, I guess the guy at the end was Scarecrow, not the new villain.

I was so disappointed when they started up the last trailer and it was this rather then The Last Guardian. At least it was Uncharted.

Next gen Drake looks like a mix of Nathan Fillion and Liam Neeson.

I'm looking forward to that indie teams remake of Metal Gear more then this, a lot more.

One of the few highlights in a rather underwhelming show.

@Scollurio Please see my first post.

And before anyone points out Valiant Hearts to me, I should clarify that I meant something new with Ubi Art. Valiant Hearts was announced decades ago.

Once again, I'm disappointed. Sony and Nintendo had better have great shows!

What's next? A FPS? Oh. Hey what's next? Something incredibly violent? Oh.

Tylers pants are way too loose.

All I want from Ubisoft is BG&E2 and something 2D and pretty using the Ubi Art engine.

"TV, TV, TV, Sports, Sports, Calladudy, Calladudy, TV!"

It would be nice if Sony gave out some free games during E3. Not just to PS+ subscribers but to everyone on PSN. Maybe a couple PSN titles and a couple digital retail games.

Every console (MS/Sony/Nintendo) should have been doing this long ago, but they never did. Real missed opportunities.

Not interested, but it does look like a sequel to FLOCK!. That was one PSN game I wish I hadn't bought. Just wasn't for me.

Too bad it's not an OLED in that package.

I had recently finished the first LoZ for NDS when I bought my PSP. I started up the system and began playing around with the menus, demos, fL0w, etc.. and upon experiencing the beautiful screen, for a millisecond, a thought went through my head. Basically "I can hardly wait to play the Zelda game for this!".
And sitting outside my local Public Library late late at night with my sister using it's free Wi-Fi and downloading new soldiers for MGS Portable Ops.
Ha, good times!

Kaz is raising one finger = the one game we all want to hear about.
Pointing at the 'O' in SONY= 0 E3s till we hear about it.

=Half-Life 3 announcement for PS4 at E3 this year!!!

@get2sammyb When I saw this story earlier today I was hoping PushSquare would pick up on the irony of it and post a "Nintendo's Better at Promoting Vita then Sony" type of comment/headline! Good job!

Nintendoes what Sony don't!

I haven't played a game on the Vita in ages.
I can see a lot a Vita owners want to play FPSs on Vita, but a lot of FPS players don't want to play FPSs on Vita. Neither do they want a Vita. They want to play on their humungous TV screens.
I still think though, that the Vita's main problem is the memory card issue. You have to spend $100 to get a card with enough memory before you can comfortably play with the amounts that Sony is throwing around digitally.
That puts a lot of people off. They just spent $200-$300 on a Vita and they can't do much with it unless they fork over more money-a lot more money. And I think everyone is getting very tired of deleting/redownloading because they don't have enough room. A lot of people lose interest in that really quickly.

What if the gamer wants to play a Bungie game but not an MMO? I don't care for MMOs so I guess the next ten years worth of Bungie games aren't for me.

@SimonAdebisi Are you referring to no Vita support from Bungie? I think the lack of Wii U support hurts more as the Wii U symbol was on their pre-announcement website and then vanished before the big reveal.

...sniff...

It's my belief that people don't understand that the second gaming crash is happening. It just looks so different from the first one.
Traditional "triple A" games are taking a back seat because they are too expensive. They're part of the cause of this second crash. Triple A games have hit a critical mass and can't support themselves any longer. The money crunch is cutting all the fluff and this crash is taking everything back to basics. The bubble has burst. "Indie" gaming is the future because gaming has hit a new era. An era where a prominent "second" wave of talent powered by ease of distribution, and relative ease of "low" level funding, has emerged. A group of people similar to the talent that appeared in the 1970s and 80s who started the ball rolling in the first place.
Companies know they've hit this new era too. Bankruptcies, mergers, and layoffs, everywhere. They know they've hit the wall and can't support themselves on traditional triple As anymore. That's why they are scrambling for this new talent. These are the designers and talents of the future industry. These will be leading new companies, dev teams etc. of their time. Creatively, they are at the same place as when it all began.
Even though not everything they do looks 8-bit, I sometimes call this new era "8Bit2". They are starting new again at the beginning, and risks and creativity are starting to flourish again, like they did at the start.

All that being said, Chasm caught my interest. Looks like what a side-scrolling FFVI would look like.

The other side of the coin is the mobile industry. This is contributing to the second crash much in the same way Atari etc. did in the first crash. A marketplace flooded with thousands of low quality, free-to-pay, game "apps", all available on a myriad of devices. The consumers gave up then, and I can see them giving up again.

@ThreadShadow It's time to stop posting.

...okay...

If this has to be a thing, then I hope it looks better then that prototype. Is that baling twine holding it on?

This game looks like it will be quite a nice adventure.

Bloodborne: The Bloodening!

"If you're a gamer who wants to play a Bungie game, you're very much on our mind – every day.” Er, uh...except if you own a Wii U. Lets be honest now. Although I don't think we can trust the new Bungie to be honest. Especially a Bungie that fires Marty O'Donnell.

I was sad when I found out the Rubber Duck tech demo wasn't included in Super Rub A Dub.

@rjejr Right. But some form of offline play hadn't been completely ruled out in so many words until now. I'm not going to buy a game that will be useless once the servers go down/offline.
Everyone knew it was going to be online-centric but I think many weren't ruling out hope for a meager offline mode of some sort.

It all depends if Raiden can get to Sephiroth before he casts anything big. I would say for sword skills they are evenly matched, but I haven't seen Sephiroth do anything near as swordy as Raiden has. So Raiden may have the "edge" there! I just don't know who to vote for. Cloud defeated Sephiroth and he doesn't have the mad crazy sword skills of Raiden.

I hope it follows PoP 2008. Looking forward to actually seeing it. I suppose June E3?

"requires internet connection" = 99% I won't be getting this game for any system.

Nice article.

Did anyone else read that as Dork-nobs?
