E3 of 2012
vicious796:
I'm actually not thrilled with this E3 - another year with the same consoles sporting the same style of games. No real "major" announcements other than yet another Halo and yet another GoW. I like the look of The Last of Us, though.

I'm not a big shooter person but it's nice to see an Earth-based sci-fi game.

^I hope it's less linear than it looks like. Kind of like I Am Alive without the shitty limitation of clean air.
Oh, and new stuff from Amazing Spider-Man finally: http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/06/04/e3-2012-the-new-spider-man-game-looks-amazing
What I am a bit disappointed about is the lack of villians. Surely, the Spider-Man universe has tons of them, almost as many as Batman, so it's a shame there doesn't seem to be that many. Batman: Arkham City had, what, 20 villians? Some bigger than others.
There's talks about the game setting things up for the movie sequel which is why they can't have that much freedom which is a shame. They should have just scrapped the tie-in game, and went for a full 3 year development with complete creative freedom. It might even be a contender for GOTY some places.
No mentions for BEYOND: Two Souls? Ellen Page is finally in a game after being rumoured to be in Last of Us. ;D never got through Heavy Rain, but this looks very awesome.
But, BUT! Where the fuck is the Soul Reaver that was rumoured to be in the works: http://www.vg247.com/2012/03/20/rumour-crystal-dynamics-working-on-soul-reaver-reboot/
Assassins Creed III and Watch Dogs also impressed a lot.
EDIT: seems we forgot the biggest news for PS+ users. Before we got some free games every month if we were lucky, Trine 2, Sly 1, Shift 2 Unleashed and The Crash Bandicoot games.
Now you can download Space Marine, Darksiders, InFamous 2 and LittleBigPlanet 2 for free with more free games to come. There is not even an increase in the charge as far as I know. Sony proves again why their console is the best. And that they really are all about the games. I get that the offering an Xbox provides in EU and US are different, but there is no competition in EU, PS3 is clearly the superior console in service.
