E3 Pick of the games

[ratava]

Well I only have time for Pocket Legends these days but like to keep up with the games industry and looks like this year is going to an annus mirabilus for gamers - One of the best E3's for a while.

Here's a list of titles I watched on YouTube: IGN, Machinima, Nintendo Official all posted solid trailers for:

Nintendo:

Kid Icarus Uprising (seemed freshest to me): you got to love the power of flight.
Metroid M
Zelda Skyward
Kirby
Mario Mixed Sports (no 5-aside /futsol footie sadly)

Xbox/PS3:

Metal Gear Solid (Cut-Take concept is v jaw-dropping)
Mortal Kombat (Looks like best one for years: Finish Him!)
Enslaved (great graphics, rpg, v atmospheric, another fresh title)

MMO: (big year for this genre)

Star Wars: Old Republic trailer
Guild Wars 2: A new warrior combat gameplay feature

These 2 looks the biggest. Others include Tera, Hidden World also as you'd expect a lot of effort put into and trailer for Warhammer 40K realease 2013 expect more Wow in Space MMO's to be popping up though Warhammer series IP is the oldest FYI.

Ubisoft: Not usually a fan of this company, which usually shows promise but falls just short, however, soft spot for Eco-Themed games/stories etc:

Child of Eden: Seriously leftfield game! Does it use Natal controller?
Planet Dust: A sort of Populous working title, if as puzzly-playable as that title was could be stunning.

Comments ramble a bit but titles are interesting.

Any other top spots out there??

halo reach?

halo reach?

That's a big one. Not a big fan of FPS, but will take a look...

What about Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2?

[ratava]

Halo is looking very impressive graphically.

Force Unleashed is alright looking but the combat on the MMO SW:KOTR looks as good, even? Can't tell from the vids alone, to be sure. Not a huge Star Wars fan but am impressed with Bioware, bit like Blizzard, very bankable odds of being good game / successful.

Experience tells that's usually the best predictor...

The combat in SWTOR doesn't look anything like the combat in TFU2. TFU2 has a much faster pace in comparison to SWTOR.

What do those abreviations stand for?

[ratava]

The combat in SWTOR doesn't look anything like the combat in TFU2. TFU2 has a much faster pace in comparison to SWTOR.

oc, agree, different games but GW2 (Guild Wars 2) & SWTOR (Star Wars: The Old Rebublic) are really impressing with much greater graphical variety than pevious MMO's. Not nearly as fast/fluid as TFU2 (Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2).

A lot games have that slick gravity attack eg Mass Effect 2, TFU2, Bullet Storm etc.

Castlevania also looks good the part, as well with great combat moves.

Can't wait for Zelda!

the biggest hit of e3... portal 2. nuff said. check out my sig

[ratava]

Mmm, spotted Portal 2, could not see much at all from the vids on YouTube but then found out the guys that made half-life are on board ; )

Also, Sorcery - taking the Black&White casting spells idea of motion onto the motion controller looks fun.

Pocket Legends - still the one to beat...

Didn't they release new about the new COD? Anyways forget the games, have y'all seen the Nintendo 3DS? That thing is *@$%ing AMAZING!
