Oops.

Said

Because

May I point out that Nintendo\'s loss last year was due to various reasons; [li]The 3DS having a slow launch due to a lack of games and minimal known difference between 3DS and DS[/li] [li]Development of the Wii U[/li] [li]Drought of games[/li] [li]Development costs of various Wii U games (which cost much more than Wii games)[/li] The lack of Wii sales comes from the whole idea of the Wii U coming soon. Microsoft and Sony won\'t announce the Nextbox and PS4 this year because then people would wait instead of buying the 360 and PS3.

Generally, to actually exploit the power gained from these new consoles, a developer has to invest a lot more in a game; this means for less money coming back. If Xenoblade Chronicles were designed for Xbox or PS3, it wouldn\'t have happened. A great deal of the budget would be spent on upping graphics.

Halo looks promising, but everything else? KINECT KINECT FILLER KINECT CELEB!!!!

Microsoft thoughts; Halo 4 looks like a huge step up from Halo Reach, both graphically and gameplay-wise. 303 are taking what Bungie made and are expanding on it dramatically. It looks like an immersive experience, with some interesting single-player ideas. I feel it may be fairly promising. Watching the second game now; Microsoft are seemingly relying heavily on FPS games. Tom Clancy\'s Splinter Cell Blacklist seems to be a stealth-based shooter - much unlike Halo 4. The game seems to be hinged around killing people being a large task; and not about shooty shooty. Kinect is something I\'ve never liked, so I\'m not excited to the idea of speech used as a lure. I assume there\'s an alternative for those who don\'t want or have Kinect. This game seems to have a large single-player focus. EA Sports now. Fifa 13 first. I wouldn\'t have thought that they\'d take ANYTHING to a whole new experience with this game coming out every year, but I guess they can. Once again, Kinect is used; only for speech though. It seems to be mainly for speeding up gameplay, this I do like. Madden NFL next. Great, they\'re using a celebrity to make them seem bigger. Once again, Kinect is used to speed up the gameplay through speech. The game looks a bit sim-ish, but doesn\'t seem to bad. I still am worried about those without Kinect, they could demo it without Kinect. Microsoft studios now. Fable: The Journey seemingly living on Kinect. Wait, best games on Microsoft? Huh. Never would have thought. Gears of War Justice trailer is on now. I\'ve never been a fan of Gears of War, and won\'t be. It looks like the same FPS that Tom Clancy and Halo are; a mix between the two. Forza Horizon looks kind of like Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 3, it seems a bit more cartoon-y though. Forza seems to be becoming a annual series, though. This worries me a bit. I guess the XBox needs SOME games other than sport and FPS. Bing Voice Search is expanding upon the non-gaming part of the Xbox. Yet more Kinect, although it\'s nice to see them support more people around the world. Xbox live Gold seems to be becoming something of a TV License. Yep, it\'s becoming a TV License. Welcome to the future of Xbox and Microsoft. Nope. It\'s not a TV License. It\'s also a digital CD. Xbox music..? I\'m not sure, it seems just further on Microsoft\'s plans to own all your media. A Nike sports game? Will it be for Kinect as well? Oh... What a surprise. It does seem to be more of a personal trainer than anything. Notifying you by phone to tell when you are due to train? This may become highly obnoxious, although the game looks quite promising. The screen duplications do seem to lag behind a bit, though. I, luckily, don\'t feel this will affect the game. Wow, way to over-glorify Smart phones and Tablets. Wait... The SmartGlass. So it\'s true. Microsoft are starting to do Tablets? Guess it makes sense, knowing their plans. Wait... It also backs up as a second screen? Didn\'t Nintendo do this last year? Uhh... Huh, seems legit. Good luck, you just entered direct competition with Nintendo. Oh, look. Some more games. Wait... This is another shooter. Ugh. Okay, I\'ve never been a big fan of Tomb Raider, and this game doesn\'t excite me. Just looks like a movie of a girl being lucky. No gameplay whatsoever. And DLC. Yay, DLC... Ascend; New Gods seems to be a bit more interesting. I need gameplay to decide, not a colossi running around with a Sabre. I guess that they will show some later on. LocoCycle. Not too much on that yet; is is a Crazy Motorcycle? If so, it\'s an interesting concept. I would have to mention the Tron-like style of it though. Okay, I\'m bored. Please show me gameplay. These trailers are killing me. And it\'s ALL for Kinect. Seriously. Ah, Gameplay. Oh. Yet ANOTHER shooter. Still stealth, but it\'s also got a bunch of mutants thrown in. Well, not stealth, but it\'s got an uncanny amount of Melee combat. And quicktime. We all hate quicktime. Resident Evil 6. Oh... Great. Another Kinect game. And it\'s nearly as cheesy as Kinectimals. Heh. It doesn\'t look too bad, though. Shoot cannonballs at a wall; quite Kerbal. Wreckateer. Not too bad. Huh. Some South Park? Not a surprise, they announced it ages ago. I didn\'t see any gameplay. Yet. It sounds nice, though. No... Gameplay? Dance Central 3 now. I guess this classifies as \'Sports\', which we got plenty of earli- oh... They\'ve got a celeb dancing for their presentation? Ah. What a waste of time. FEEL THE TIME-FILLER! I admit, this is very bland. As if it wasn\'t bland enough. Uhh, it goes on forever. Finally, after 5 minutes of dancing he goes off the stage. He\'s finishing the conference now... I think. He\'s overhyping everything he just said in the last hour (and half). Oh. He\'s now going to Call of Duty: Black Ops II. BOII; no gameplay yet. It\'s also an FPS. That makes 6. Still a cutscene. This is stuff we saw in the trailer... Wait... GAMEPLAY!!! FINALLY! Oh. That was short segment. Please note, they\'re showing the singleplayer - not the selling point of CoD (as has been said by their devs) Multiplayer. So far, no shooting; just walking. Some suicide-jets. He just sniped a few people. I swear that it\'s aiming for him. Wow. Even the gameplay fails to amuse me. It\'s just an auto-aim sniper section with some sound effects. It seems like they\'re showing some more interesting and active gameplay. Still singleplayer, though. This is the same gameplay as all other CoD. No interesting twists. This is just yet another iteration of CoD. Overall, this presentation seemed a bit time-stretched. They didn\'t have enough gameplay of individual games, and had a presentation cluttered with 6 FPS games and 4 Sports games. No \'wow\' factor there, and way too much Kinect and filler for my liking. - Nooblet68

What are your thoughts on this year\'s E3? What are you going to watch? Discuss E3 here.

Generally, Miles is the only imperial I use.

No. It makes me feel proud.

Are you re-writing the dictionary or something? That\'s a lot of reserves.

\'Within the Void of Space\' is a small painting depicting the idea that us Kerbals aren\'t alone. The idea something much larger than us can make or ruin our life. (Okay, so it\'s actually a bit of editing of a Kerbal and Kerbin, but I never told you that.)

(Is it just a crude basic picture drawn in Paint.Net with some heavy effects?) I like the mountain though, nice work there.

You used to be an adventurer like me, but then I took an arrow to the knee.

Congrats, Ascen.

Will finish \'The Test\' later in preparation.

I was going to give you an arrow to the knee for this thread, but then I took an arrow to the knee.

4/10 for stretched image from a game I\'ve never played.

We\'re pretty good at closing down threads, aren\'t we..?

1. A Minecraft server is not like a Roleplay server. Minecraft does not have any capabilities for \'Godmodding\', only cheating - of which would be against the rules. 2. We know what you\'re like. Being Cynical can generally be the best way to anticipate something.

Welcome to Kerbin Minmus!

There\'s already a thread for that. We committed murder with it, remember Nova?

You could just write in silence?

Couldn\'t you just write in a normal room at a normal time?
