Nintendo Loses Out At Game Critics E3 2012 Awards

Yeah.

Hell. Fucking. Yes.

How ironic that it seems it’s YOU that is out of touch, not Halo.

E3 2012 was Wii U from Launch to Launch Window not
E3 2010 of 3DS that was 2011-2013 with games still not release but announce in 2010 I am looking at you Animal Crossing and Paper Mario. Also Mario Kart 7, Star Fox 64 3D, Zelda OoT 3D and Kid Icarus Uprising arriving so late.

Watch Dogs, based on the gameplay trailer, looked like it could be really good. That mostly depends with how much interaction you’re allowed to do (when you made the car crash, was there any other way to assassinate that guy).
Last of Us… looked okay. Its gameplay, while admittedly well designed, didn’t seem like anything we hadn’t seen before.
Dead Space 3 really looks like its abandoning its horror roots and just going straight for action, making it comparable to the other “shooting games” we see so much today.
Rayman Legends looked fairly disappointing, trading its fast paced gameplay which is what made it so good into a slightly slower pace with some fast paced sections.
Beyond Two Souls really just looks like a movie. It seems to have so reason to be a game, though I suspect it’s still really early in development which is why there was no actual gameplay shown.
Halo 4 was… more halo. Not much else to say about that.
Pikmin 3 was pretty much what the people who were waiting for it expecting, while looking good enough to people unaware of it to seem new and refreshing on consoles.
One game that definitely should have won was Dishonored. That looked like it took a pretty standard genre and tweaked it to feel like a brand new experience. That was a game that should have won most of the awards.

LOL IT IS A NEW CONSOLE NOOB

Obvious troll is too obvious.

biggest fool in the internet.

I agree in with xbox being garbage, it such a restrictive dumbdown system. The only thing i like about the 360 are its controllers, they are very comfortable, although they dont beat the gamecube, because the GC had hybrid triggers, which, i still think were fantastic, especially in games like mario sunshine

HAVE YOU SEEN THE GRAPHICS ON 6 YEAR OLD HARDWARE THE GAME LOOKS GREAT AND WITH PLAY GREAT TO

Kind of true. The game is pretty much Uncharted with a teen following the main character. But still, looks good at least.
Watchdogs seemed more interesting to me.

I don’t know how you can say that w/o playing it but it looks pretty damn good from what I’ve seen so far although, if it’s anything like Uncharted, I’m not getting it.

no one played any of the games we watched

Clueless. YOU just watched it. Members of the gaming industry and media played it.

im sorry to say it wouldnt be backward compatible because they will continue selling ps3 so i would invest i did a week ago and its great all the best games are cheap

The Last of Us is less “zombie apocalypse” and more, “post apocalyptic survival.”

The “clickers” (those infected with the fungus) are not the main focus in the game. In fact, Naughty Dog has commented saying that your encounters with them may be rare. It’s a story of survival, no matter the odds. So far all of the demos have shown humans and no infected. During the E3 demo, you can even hear some of the game characters speaking saying that they haven’t even seen the infected for weeks. So it is very possible that you will not encounter them much.

The story, relationship, and survival of Joel and Ellie are the focus of The Last of Us.

I absolutely hate zombie games, they do nothing for me. However, The Last of Us is considerably intriguing.

Still, whether or not you are interested in the game is personal and based on your own likes. However, it is anything but your typical/run-of-the-mill zombie game.

That’s what the ZombiU isn’t. I really can’t see a game that bears a huge similarity to ZombiU, which from what I’ve heard, is less about going through linear corridors where monsters pop out of closets and more general survival. The gamepad also helps to break away from typical zombie games, adding a huge tension where you constantly have to look back to make sure you’re not about to turn around and see a mouth about to close in on your face.
Last of Us looks good, but still doesn’t seem good enough to make itself shine in its genre. Still, we haven’t seem some hands-on gameplay, so I could be wrong. I really want to see how Ellie is controlled though.

Okay, youre an idiot, first of all, it is next gen. If the big leak from the ubisoft staff, which got EVERYTHING else right, is correct, the WiiU uses a Radeon HD 6770 GPU, a VERY capable card, as well as Power microproccessors, and Direct X-11. Thats next gen.

Nintendo made little comment on dlc, but did say, “they plan as always to release COMPLETE video game titles” but didnt say DLC wasnt a possiblity.

I’ve heard nothing of hidden costs so thats stupid.

Pay and play, i havent even heard that rumour, Earthbound legally wont happen, and again, that was back in 2006. Playstation said they have support for 2 hdmi output for the ps3, did it? No.

And again, WiiU is a HD system, and in terms of used games, Nintendo are the ONLY company NOT getting rid of the possiblity of playing used games.

Go educate yourself, you moron.

Even though i like Uncharted although 3 was a bit disappointing, it does look EXACTLY like Uncharted, not even slighty different…just seem a little lazy, and i love Naughty Dog.

It does not look exactly like Uncharted 3 in any respect.

And now let’s talk about sequels.
A game sequel will always be different, but depending on the genre, what is different will be… different. Let’s use two hypothetical game sequels.
A fighting game comes out and it’s pretty good. It has good mechanics, a good supply of characters, nice stages and a traditional tournament fighter plot (evil guy, win tournament to stop him). Then a sequel comes out.
In this sequel, a new evil rises and the characters have to fight in a new tournament. Sounds like a good sequel right? New story? Wrong. This is a bad sequel. The core aspects have not been tweaked or improved on. The same characters, the same stages, the same mechanics and combos. All of the things that define a fighting game are still the same, making it a pointless sequel.
Now, let’s go over to the platforming genre. Let’s use 2D Mario games as the first game, and a sequel is being designed. A good sequel will have the important elements updated and tweaked. So let’s see what those would be. The important elements of getting to the end of the level are: obstacles, level design and how you get across. This means what a new Mario sequel would need to be seen as a good sequel is: new levels/ power-ups/enemies/blocks.
As you can see, a new sequel does not need a new story, because that’s not what the core aspect of the game is.

you do realized that ‘the last of us’ runs through the uncharted timeline right? the similarities are there because the fungi epidemic started off during the 3rd Uncharted. Hell ellie might be drakes kid, or even joel.

I honestly can’t wait for this game.
