E3 2015

Wow Nintendo. That was bad.

We start with a very mediocre showing of Star Fox Zero. Nothing special about it. Funny they mention the cancelled Star Fox 2 and yet could easily still release it because it is basically completed. Imagine that being worthy news.

No NX new, I think that was mobile future of Nintendo. Can't tell if that is a good thing or bad.

Amiibo and Skylanders, 2 thing I could care less of. You like them, great.

Triforce Heroes look stupid actually. The whole clothing option sounds silly. Just could have been 4 Swords, well now with only 3. Sorry Purple Link

Re release of Hyrule Warriors, whatever.

Metroid Prime Federation Force, which proves they gave up on the series.

Fire Emblem If is Fate in America. Cool I guess and I'll buy it, AS LONG AS IT ON ONE CART. No dual games! Fuck your pokemon shit you did in Japan.

Speaking of ruin Fire Emblem more, lets look at animu bullshit trash known as SMT X FE.

Not even Persona looks this silly. This is full on Kawaii Desu Animu shit people. I can only hold on to so much Moe before I hurl. But for some reason, I didn't see the X SMT part. I am taking a wild gander that they either dropped the SMT part or its in the Japanese text I can't read.

Xenoblade Chronicles X,again. Release date, cool.

Animal Crossing House Designer and Amiibo Fest.......Moving on.

Yo-Kai Watch, which is basically Pokemon that isn't Pokemon. Forgotten instantly, next.

Mario and Luigi Paper Jam. So they mix the 2 RPG series together.........I would have gotten that other RPG game they forgot about and then we'll start talking.

Mario Tennis, cool

Super Mario Maker, ok I guess.

That was it.

No seriously. That was the grand finale.

I want Nintendo to be good, but this was bad.

Even it couldn't beat Microsoft or Sony, it could still been good. But this was mediocre trash after mediocre trash which will all be forgotten about.

Only nice thing that they showed mostly all gameplay and no CGI shit, but I stopped caring half way..

Spoiler:

KH3 looks interesting. Tangled. Hmm...

I am not the biggest Kingdom Hearts guy.

I liked 1 and 2. Didn't play the spinoffs except DDD.

So this game looks pretty good.

Seems like Square pulled everything this year.

Fucking Tangled yesssss!!!!!!!!

Star Ocean!??!

Where have you been!?!

I'VE GOT A DREAM! I'VE GOT A DREAM! TO PLAY KH3 AND CREAM MY PANTS WITH GLEE!

sorry for leaving early guys, I forgot to click away my Windows Update, so it started doing it.

also, this is still my favorite E3 moment of this year, I'm probably one of the few who really liked this, but it's all in the presentation.




I've never seen a guy who is just so genuinely happy to be there to show off his game, and yeah, he's nervous as hell, you can see it especially when he gets out that doll. But that's what makes this so good, it's not a dude from a major developer who knows his game is going to sell, it's just a dude from a small studio somewhere up in Sweden showing off something he really cares about.

And the game itself looks pretty neat as well, I kinda feel bad for the guy cause it's going to be lost in all of these giant announcements, and this guy actually deserves the attention.

I missed the EA presentation, so I didn't see that one, but I do feel for him. Everyone is likely nervous going to present at E3. But when you're a small studio, the pressure to shine is arguably higher because you're not going to get better exposure than E3 and if you make a bad impression, you could be eating instant noodles for a while. So props to him for pulling through and not doing too poorly on the speech. And the game itself doesn't look half bad.

so I take it there was nothing interesting at the PC show?

Besides the Rollercoaster game, the American Truck simulator and more Starcraft 2 stuff, it was ok.

Not cringe worthy like Nintendo, but meh. It was ok. That was the actually Ok conference. Atleast it tried.

Lasted way too long with nothing to umpth its conference. I like the look of Star Citizen (Still don't like Kickstarter, but if it receives good press from gamers, I'll see for myself.)

CUMMING DIS 2097.

Pre-order in 50 years time and receive a bonus download code to unlock Super Depressed Cloud.

I am having nightmares of that awful Advent Children movie and now he is leading this remake?

It could be worse than the original........

So, Shenmue 3 has nearly reached 3.1 million U.S dollars (A little over 2.7 million Euros). They only needed 2 million dollars according to the kickstarter site. So it looks like Shenmue 3 is a lock.

I saw.

That is insane.

Man Nintendo must of fucked up badly when people are asking you to cancel a game. Overreaction? Sure, but it proves Nintendo did wrong..

Nomura is on this because they wanted as much of the original creators to be working on it. Kitase and Nojima are also on it.

They're not gonna fuck this up, they've got too much riding on it. He also said in an interview that Kitase and Nojima often enough voice there concerns for stuff he wants to change, so both of them are keeping Nomura somewhat on track I'd imagine. Although there will be changes in the end, but I doubt they'd be really drastic.

It won't be bad people will just freak out if its different at all, while they preorder and buy it.

I imagine decent gameplay and a lot of content making a return and being improved(like those God damn mini-games peppered throughout the original FFVII), but a so-so re-imagining of the main storyline and characters.

So long as the revised dialogue and interactions feel more human and real instead of being rendered into the usual super duper soap operatic writing, I think it'll be a worthwhile experience. If they pull it off, maybe some of the original dialogue's more cheesier moments can also be patched up as well.

Spoiler:

One other thing I'd like would be the game to have a more vivid and colorful art direction akin to how the original FFVII was presented. The character models would obviously be more realistic, but the overall palette remains varied. SE has taken a liking to going all Hollywood mode with a number of FFVII-related media and making the world color coded. Excluding AC and its craptastic greyness of severe angst and boringness, the visuals are usually covered with green(geddit, cuz dah game's iconic color and dah lifestream is green, lol2deep4u) tints and shades of yellow and making everything look more drab on top of it. It's not very appealing and it kind of undermines the world's particular charm where there's a whole lot of horrific and fucked up shit going on, and yet it was all hidden underneath a deceptively bright and colorful exterior.

I hope a good deal of goofy moments is retained too. Cross-dressing Cloud has been confirmed to be a thing, so I hope they keep the humorous stuff coming all the way through instead of just a few bones thrown here and there.

If Cid isn't bleeped i'm not buying it.
