Actually the press conference is at 6 today, unless something changed. Hoping for a Phantom Pain trailer aswell. LOL at the Last Guardian apology. | ||

See, I can compare it to GTA on the basis that Rockstar wouldn't deliver the heist feature for GTA:O. But that's just me. I have yet to play Payday 2. | ||

GTA:O ; Open world, able to travel the entire map, get in tanks, helicopters, etc. BF:H ; Set objectives, no real open area to do as you please. Can't compare it. | ||

As for the EA conference... The only thing I was looking forward to was Battlefront, but that ended up being disappointing. Hopefully they'll show some real game play next year. | ||

Apart from the promised Heists? I wouldn't mind the open area factor, but holy hell, Rockstar. This post has been edited by Shirogane on Jun 9 2014, 04:04 PM | ||

Trust me, I'm a doctor. Group: Advanced Members Posts: 6,186 Member No.: 1,277 Joined: Feb 14th 2004 Location: Bay City, MI | Sony's conference wasn't that great. The only games that really interested me were Little Big Planet 3, No Man's Sky and Abzu. 1886 looks interesting, but I'm sick of looking at these gritty and gory games. Never been a fan of the Arkham series, I usually just watch the cut scenes on Youtube since the gameplay always bore me. Same goes for Mortal Kombat. Never cared for that series either. Too clunky for my liking. Uncharted 4 was a surprise despite all of the people leaving Naughty Dog lately. The main thing I was disappointing in was the lack of Kingdom Hearts 2.5. There was supposed to be some huge reveal for that game. Maybe Square will have their own keynote some other day this week. |

More NEGATIVE than a black hole Group: ADMINISTRATOR Posts: 19,345 Member No.: 12,263 Joined: Sep 12th 2005 Location: Update Profile | The heists in GTA V (at least the single player ones that we've actually be able to play) are nothing like what is presented here. In Hardline, you walk in, you grab a bag, and you get away from the cops. That's exactly like Payday 2, albeit nowhere near as in-depth, and not at all like GTA V's heists. Also, that Far Cry 4 preview. I'm fucking HYPED to play that shit. |

Well it turns out you were right... I am still glad they're developing at least something Rainbow Six. | ||

Yup, Payday 1/2 is a true heist game, drills, etc etc. it's a shame it's not super popular. Missed the Sony conference, but from the chatter on here, only three or so games were good? | ||

More NEGATIVE than a black hole Group: ADMINISTRATOR Posts: 19,345 Member No.: 12,263 Joined: Sep 12th 2005 Location: Update Profile | Well, it wasn't PS4 exclusive, but R* announced GTA V for the next gen consoles and PC during the Sony conference. It was inevitable. The trailer looks gorgeous. It looks "at home" here, with more peds and activity. Water reflections are great. Since we only got one minute of footage, I hope R* gives us more information regarding just what is upgraded with the next gen release. EDIT: R* sent a mass email out that details a few things: Grand Theft Auto V will take full advantage of the power of the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC with across-the-board graphical and technical improvements to deliver a stunning new level of detail. Increased draw distances, finer texture details, denser traffic, and enhanced resolutions all work together to bring new life to the cities, towns, deserts and oceans of Rockstar North’s epic reimagining of Southern California. Switch between the interconnected lives of Michael, Trevor and Franklin as they embark on a series of heists across Los Santos and Blaine County in the biggest, deepest and richest open world experience yet, with game world enhancements that include new wildlife, upgraded weather and damage effects, and an array of new details to discover. Sony bungled the much-awaited Destiny footage. They kept cutting away from the video to give us shots of the audience watching the video we want to be seeing. MURDER THAT CAMERAMAN. There wasn't much else to speak of at the Sony conference that we didn't already know about, sadly. They mentioned "150 games in development for the Vita" and then promptly forgot about the Vita for the rest of their keynote. Thanks, guys. Really standing behind your handheld, there. Quantic Dream was also nowhere to be found. What the hell? On the plus side, No Man's Sky was the standout hit. On the whole, I think Sony dropped the ball here. Their conference was very disjointed and didn't "flow" very well. If you want the best evidence of this odd setup, look at where they put the Mortal Kombat X trailer: right in the middle of a very business-y segment. I think Sony lost their touch after last year's slam dunk. Maybe because they're happy resting on their sales advantage over the Xbox One, or maybe because they simply think that having another exclusive Destiny video was going to win the audience over. Yesterday, the clear frontrunner was Microsoft. They put together a well thought out, smooth conference that gave gamers what they were asking for: lots and lots of games. While not all of them were particularly exciting or polished (Fable Legends looks like shit), they never, EVER stopped to talk about new Xbox Live features or Kinect. Even with the Dance Central game, the speaker was careful not to actually mention the Kinect. Phil Spencer was on stage quite a lot, and he made sure to note almost every time that he and the Xbox team are listening to customer feedback now more than ever, to the point of setting up a new website specifically to deal with customer feedback, to make the Xbox "for you". The new Kinect-less SKU is evidence that they are actively listening. In a post-conference interview, Phil said that Microsoft made mistakes with the marketing direction of the Xbox One, and that under his new leadership the console would be moving under a "games first" ideology. Somewhere out there, Marc Whitten is thinking about killing himself. This post has been edited by Tessou on Jun 10 2014, 05:45 AM |

IDW Goldmember Group: Advanced Members Posts: 2,164 Member No.: 3,607 Joined: Oct 9th 2004 Location: Update Profile | I'm still not sold on picking up a next-gen console anytime soon still. I'm glad that there are some decent titles finally confirmed and on the way. Just started a PC build and that along with my PS3 should suffice for now. Down the road, the PS4 is still going to be my target console, especially if The Last Guardian finally comes to pass and I'm quite interested in a 3DS. Outside of Halo, Microsoft just doesn't particularly interest me and Nintendo has fallen off my radar as far as consoles but that's been the case since the Wii. |

More NEGATIVE than a black hole Group: ADMINISTRATOR Posts: 19,345 Member No.: 12,263 Joined: Sep 12th 2005 Location: Update Profile | Nintendo had a very short digital presentation this year, clocking just over 40 minutes. New Kirby game that seems like a successor to Canvas Curse. Neat, but didn't look like it was breaking new ground. Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker. Snoozefest. Hyrule Warriors was expected, and looks like every other Musou game. Lots of generic square arenas, lots of identical enemies just standing around waiting to get killed. The bosses, a new take on enemy generals, seem pretty interesting, though. Amiibos, their answer to Skylanders/Disney Infinity figures, are given special abilities to entice players to buy them on top of the games they're made for. They interact with the game pad, so there's no special accessory to buy, which is a plus, but when it's set up so that you gain an actual advantage over other players by buying these figures, it raises a red flag. The new Zelda game, which was given a tiny amount of screen time, looks decent but at the same time doesn't look like it's pushing the console's capabilities one bit. Open world Zelda is a great concept, but make it the example of the console's power, not another lazily textured simplicity-fest. SSB reveals Palutena and Dark Pit as new characters. Ho hum. |

Trust me, I'm a doctor. Group: Advanced Members Posts: 6,186 Member No.: 1,277 Joined: Feb 14th 2004 Location: Bay City, MI | The only thing that surprised me during the Nintendo conference was Fantasy Life being announced for a North American release. I've been waiting for that game for a while now. It was nice to see some Pokemon OR/AS gameplay. But you kinda know what to expect with those games. Pokemon X/Y visuals with the R/S region and story. Mario Maker seems pretty neat, but besides that, I didn't care for too much of the stuff shown. Even the SSB reveals. Although, at least they added Palutena, since they're lacking in the female fighter department. |

Weird decision that it took them 3 years to decide on bringing it to the West in any form... |

GAH, my dick is raging hard! If it's true about the new 'traffic' in the game, heists, specially the first one might be a bit of a problem, but goddamn, I can't wait, I NEED MONEY. | ||

I mean sure, some parts of the world map are blocked until you get to certain parts of the story, but...they're still open-world, are they not? I guess maybe they've changed lately? I haven't played any of the Zelda games past Majora's Mask, but I remember that the GameBoy games I played, Ocarina Of Time, and Majora's Mask all had large, open worlds to explore that, by the end of the game, were fully-opened and travel-able to you. |

Vita owners are pissed about it. They're looking for more sales obviously, but they should at least make a Vita version as well. Just like they did with FFX/X-2 HD. Which sold pretty well on the Vita. To clear some things up. Final Fantasy Agito is actually a completely different game now. Final Fantasy Type-0 is the one that released on PSP years ago and is coming to PS4/XB1. FF Agito takes place during the events of FF Type-0, but it's going to be a free to play game on iOS and Android.
And did anyone catch that Super Smash Bros Invitational tournament? It was so hype. If anything won E3, it was that. So pumped for that game to come out. This post has been edited by Phantom_R32 on Jun 10 2014, 06:22 PM | ||||

I think they're talking about "open world" in the sense of being more like a nonlinear Skyrim type of game rather than the somewhat rigid "you must complete dungeons in this order" style of previous Zelda titles. | ||

If that's the case, I'd expect this game to be VERY big. I wonder how they'll pull it off. | ||
