E3 2012 (1 Viewer)

yeah its certainly an interesting concept. Nintendo tends to get the most out of their hardware in their first party titles, often its the 3rd party ones that tend to be gimmicky. Here's hoping that other developers can make the most of the concept.

Also, I'm expecting them to reveal what Monolith Soft and Retro Studios are working on tomorrow, as the former released Xenoblade Chronicles last year which was an absolute masterpiece and the latter are easily one of their strongest development teams and perhaps one of the most consistent in the world. Enough of this Nintendoland bullshit, where all da fzero, starfox and metroid be at?

Interesting to note is that one of the few first party titles shown so far, Pikmin 3, does not require any of the fancy stuff the wii u gamepad does. I think they should have prioritised a title that demonstrates the gamepad a bit more and left pikmin 3 for the next day.

borderlands 2

also i think it's highly inappropriate and unethical to host e3 while i am in my exam period.

FIFA 13 seems like a massive disappointment

Them graphics

 

[mirakon]

i have no idea what the hell i just watched but it looks freakin rad

its like katamari, pikmin and cheesy japanese superhero tv shows all rolled into one

 

[mirakon]

quite impressed with "the last of us" so far. Its good to see its more "gamey" than uncharted yet still as organic and cinematic (at least thats what it looks like so far)

In what way?

wii u > ps3 in terms of graphics in this vid. interesting.

shouldn't it be, though?

considering how much older the ps3 is, if the wii u didn't even reach the standards of this gen's consoles it would be a bit embarassing for nintendo.

i thought wii u was simply going to match current gen visuals, since wii was comparable to like ps2.
might get a wii u sometime then.

Nintendo has always been about the gameplay and not the graphics as its a family oriented system.

I'm hoping they didn't COD-ify Halo

And I'm hoping MS or Sony just show something similar to how nintendo presented the Wii U last year

Bungie is no longer pulling the strings on the halo franchise.

In saying that, Bungie has inadvertently been thrown into the spotlight with investigations of its funding company and revealing that ~10% of Bungies employees are working on a secret project aimed at a multi platform release.

:jizz:

A decent amount of 343 employees were ex-bungie though
and the game looks pretty promising so far
