E3 2012 - June 4-7 - General info and discussion thread

[Natrix]

Nintendo getting ripped/mocked pretty good on the Spike show stream.

Can't believe I'm saying it, but Ubisoft won E3.

 

[KBA]

I want to buy a tiger, use it as a weapon, and shoot it.

 

[plasmid303]

Geoff Keighley on Gametrailers tv/spike is saying that Nintendo is unveiling a Wii-U game on the interview with Reggie that's coming up next.

 

[Ktjn]

If AC:AE allows for robin to roam the city, give night wing a actual mission...it might draw more interest.

Brand new WiiU game coming up on spike...let's hope it doesn't involve fireworks

They really kinda did. They got prime coverage on all 3 big press conferences, plus had their own.

 

[IrishJedi]

1. Watch_Dogs
2. Beyond: Two Souls
3. Assassin's Creed III
4. The Last of Us

... Gimme!!

Nintendo...

 

[batfan08]

Irish, yet again, you and I are in full agreement. The Last of Us, though, wow.

 

[snappahead]

Wow, I dont bother watching these, but the reaction here is scary. So...is the WiiU a Wii HD like I feared or is it a real machine?

From what I've seen, I'd agree that Ubi had a good showing. Sony did ok too, but the lack of any word on the next console just bums me out.

Yeah, it's basically Wii HD

 

[plasmid303]

1. Watch_Dogs
2. Beyond: Two Souls
3. Assassin's Creed III
4. The Last of Us

... Gimme!!

Nintendo...

Yeah, and I'd add Star Wars 1313 in there just because of how good it looks.

 

[snappahead]

Yeah, it's basically Wii HD

Wow...thats a serious fail of epic proportions. They couldve had a HUGE advantage over the competition with a strong machine. MS and Sony havent even announced a new system. They could've been the only game in town for what...two years? I dont know what N is thinking anymore. Do they just not give a _____ about the serious gamers anymore?

 

[kingellesar]

Watch Dogs, Star Wars 1313, Resident Evil 6 and ZombiU is all I want. Oh and Fifa 13 with the new features that they should've implemented a long time ago.

 

[Ktjn]

Watch dogs was running on pc. Why it looked so good.

 

[Kabukiman]

They could've been the only game in town for what...two years?

That worked so well for SEGA. What could go wrong?

 

[plasmid303]

That worked so well for SEGA. What could go wrong?

Worked for Microsoft.

 

[Shropt]

Wow, the list of games for 3DS is even worse. That system will be dying soon at this rate.

 

[snappahead]

That worked so well for SEGA. What could go wrong?

Seriously? Bro, this machine is coming out soon. That has already been decided. They had a choice of either releasing a weak, watered down console or a beast that had the power to put the competition to shame. They chose a watered down console that will probably look the same graphically as the competition. Theyre relying entirely on the gimmick controller again. It worked once with the Wii, but I cant see it working again. It's just a tablet. Something that people already have in their phones and (already owned)tablets. So yeah..this was a huge missed opportunity for N to get a massive leg up with little risk on their part.

 

[darthviper107]

I feel sorry for the hosts that have to keep acting like the Wii U is cool and can't say what they really think about it.
