Microsoft and Sony held their pre-E3 press events today. Both had games, games and games. Sony also had a TV device. Microsoft hardly mentioned Kinect at all (I think it’s needed for the Dance Central game).
Instead of prattling on, I’ve just posted some videos. Personally, I’m still super keen on Batman Arkham Knight, the time-lapse trailer for Ubisoft’s The Division, the fact that classic point-and-click adventure game Grim Fandango is heating to PS Vita and PlayStation 4 and Sunset Overdrive: It looks the bee’s knees. Oh, and Crackdown: I loved the original Crackdown and despite being another bad guy being taken down, it could be interesting.
Watch and enjoy. Happy E3!
Batman Arkham Knight (and the Batmobile blowing shit up):
The Division:
Sunset Overdrive:
Grim Fandango (featuring DoubleFine developer Tim Schafer pretending to be a small child):
Crackdown:
Far Cry 4:
I’ll post more videos when I can be bothered.
Were you swept away by the hype? Did you get up outrageously early to watch the Microsoft livestream? Thoughts? You know what to do …
Most of the press-conferences were alright in my opinion. I’m guessing devs are still getting use to the new systems. Next year should be more interesting.
Anyway my top games were: Uncharted 4, Batman: Arkham Knight, Sunset Overdrive and Far Cry 4.
First three actually feel next-gen to me and far cry is always fun.
Still over the top wowed by The Division.
So much detail, can’t wait to poke around in there.
…and what’s an E3 without a Last Guardian rumour?
