Finally the last video is now up and it only took me a whole month after E3 to get them up, sorry for the delay folks. Anyway first is the conference video thanks to IGN and then of course below are my thoughts on the games I liked.
Of course let's start with Metal Gear Solid, not really played any of them to be honest so I cannot say I'm a fan really but my god that opening demo was impressive. I was really impressed with the graphics and open world that truly seemed to live around you. If I was to give Metal Gear a try then it would start with this game.
Next up the new Xbox Plus system, still cannot help but chuckle at this. I have no idea why they now jump on the PlayStation bandwagon and from the looks only until Xbox One comes out. Just makes no sense to me and the fact we talking really old games as well, why even bother. Of course I might take that back if they offer some amazing games next month or something. Fable 3 at E3 time was a nice touch just shame I already have it in my collection.
New Dark Souls 2 trailer looked amazing and the boss fight they showed off, dang what a fight and I'm still confused about the mirror shield. Was the character stuck in their? looked awesome none the less but still reminds me that I need to complete the first one and Demons Souls. I say that like it's easy when I know it could take months for each. Not sure I will get this on day of launch since I've not really touched the first two, bit of waste of money really but we will see.
Ok next up is Ryse the Xbox One exclusive and now at the start I was put off from the demo. It looked to massively linear and stuck in a small section where you have to fight one on one. Not my cup of tea that but then the demo opened up and it really got interesting, I love the formation scene then the huge battle in the tower where you see some brutal combo moves and of course more of a God of War style combat fighting. At this point I would get it on day launch but of course I would love to see some more footage to make sure it is the right game for me and that my first thoughts was not right.
Minecraft coming to the Xbox One ... not sure what to say to that to be honest, at first I was like so they just porting it over and making you pay again. But then they talk about larger maps and more online players, that got my interest straight away. If we are talking PC version multiplayer then giant time lapse projects could be possible on the console. My mind went into overdrive thinking of different projects I could do with my friends so yeah this went from "doubt I will buy it" to a "omg want".
Quantum Break, seriously what is this game about? a tv show mixed with a game? are they merged? seriously they show off some great trailers but really could do with the information and a proper demo being played while being explained. Until then I'm not even getting my hopes up for this.
Now let's talk about something I'm really excited about and that's Project Spark, when I first saw it I thought of something like Little Big Planet mixed with a few pc games. Then as they went on I really got excited about it, watching them place the village then start playing while still building was brilliant. The game reminds me a lot of Fable but that's a good thing, I really want this game right now and I've even signed up for the Beta. Using the smartglass features was a nice touch as well, I can see this being great for creating the landscape. So yeah this will be a must buy for me but like to know the difference between the Xbox 360 and Xbox One versions.
Talk about a teaser, Witcher 3 logo and a bit of information what they want to do with the next generation consoles and then a small teaser trailer. Could be good but need some gameplay plus again I really need to play the past ones, I'm sure I've got the second one for the Xbox 360 sitting on my shelf sealed somewhere.
Some more gameplay footage for Battlefield 4 but I'm at the point now that I've seen enough, hopefully they don't show any more extra stuff because at this rate I will have seen the entire game. It looks amazing and will be a must purchase this Christmas, hopefully it be a day one launch title for the new consoles as well.
New Halo game which to be honest I think everyone was expecting, not sure what to make of this weird flying robot though. I would love to know what this game is anyway since they all saying now its not Halo 5 so is it a spin off series? or something else. Either way the new CGI looks amazing so I have high hopes for the graphics and the game it self.
Some more Titanfall footage which is looking amazing and such a shame it's next year, I know there is plenty coming out this year but still I cannot help but want it right now. And on that note that is the end of the Microsoft conference and my thoughts.
Thanks for taking the time to check out all these posts and my ramblings, hopefully all of you enjoyed E3 and looking forward to all these new games. Think this year holiday season will be one of the biggest launches in gaming history and I cannot wait.
