Quest For Glory II posted:A price cut has to be like the main thing about their conference. But slashing the price means removing the Kinect and then they'd have to admit that forcing Kinect on people was a mistake. I wonder if they can overcome their pride on that. Remember all those 3DS games that came out last year that weren't even at E3 2012 the year prior? Made even better because they had a forty-minute mini-conference that night that talked about everything for the 3DS but the cool games. Like gently caress, what was that loving thing they spent time on? The thing they commissioned for the 3DS Nintendo Video app.

C'mon guys be nice to Geoff. The horse he backed this year for his "Final Hours of..." e-book app hasn't exactly set the world on fire yet and Game Trailers might be getting sold off from Viacom at some point in the near future maybe we don't know yet.virtualboyCOLOR posted:I love YouTube.

Quest For Glory II posted:Apparently Mass Effect 4 might be announced at E3. Do people even like that series anymore? Didn't that franchise go south really quickly? Or is this a case of EA just not having much of a plan other than Sequels Sequels Sequels!!!! Is Ninja Theory coming back to make a sequel to Heavenly Sword really the type of thing that periodically ends up on fan wishlists though?

Captain Matchbox posted:nah, i just want doritos pope to be followed around with a camera for 48 hours or so, unscripted and candid, no sleep. if he had to take a dump he could use that time wisely to talk about titanfall 2 and maybe joke about 'dropping a titan'. That moment with Joel at the VGX was pretty much the most unscripted he's ever been. Assuming he really was getting pissed when Joel asked him if he was actually going to play and enjoy the games he showcased there and it wasn't some scripted joke.

Halo 2 HD, which will go beyond what Wind Waker HD did and give us the levels Bungie cut a decade ago. Even though it'd probably contradict what happens in Halo 3 and make no sense.

Beatles Rock Band would later kiiiind of fail at retail and pretty much started the decline of the "Plastic Musical Instruments"-genre. Like I know people love to lambast Michael Pachter for saying some stupid poo poo, but the popularity of the game was one of the times he was dead wrong at calling something: quote:The Beatles: Rock Band, Viacom Inc.'s highly anticipated and pricey video game based on the music of the biggest-selling rock band of all time, drew a healthy but hardly standing-room-only crowd. You can kind of see why Microsoft headlined their show with The Beatles seeing how a lot of people in the industry weren't only guessing it would sell well, but also hoping it would so that the rivalry between Rock Band and Guitar Hero would continue, to make money for both sides.

Quest For Glory II posted:If you wanna know more about the Milo demo, Polygon (yeah I know) posted a lengthy article about it a year ago, where some Lionhead staffers claimed it was 60 percent complete and others basically insinuate it was all bullshit, some claimed it was a full game project, and others claimed it was just a tech demo. The E3 demo, notably, was completely faked, as the girl in the video is acting in front of a pre-recorded video (sound familiar? Microsoft would do this a lot with Kinect demos). I wanna bring up my favorite piece of on-stage E3 tech demo vaporware that may or may not have been either bullshit or an actual thing in development. Everybody usually has a favorite part about Sony's E3 2005 press conference, whether it's the FF VII tech demo, the Killzone 2 thing, even the PS3 version of the ducks in the bath is something people remember. But hardly anybody seems to recall Eyedentify. It wasn't focused so much on the system graphics as much as what developers could do with games and how players could interact. The premise of course being that YOU TOO can both interact with and command your personal duo of action-anime girls.

I said come in! posted:The MAG servers shut down like two years ago by the way. Playstation Home is still going strong, I think. The Playstation Youtube channel hasn't updated with any Home content since the start of the new year, presumably because it was always derided by most of the people subscribed. Lemme just do a quick search to see if there's still any content being made and...oh yeah there's still stuff being added. At least buying stuff in Home makes more sense than buying crap for your 360 avatar.

Look all I'm saying is that my favorite Playstation Home moment was walking around that main courtyard plaza place dressed up as Dan Hibiki, but thanks to Home letting you make actual obese avatars I was FAT Dan Hibiki and was able to make a dude who was randomly exploring Home go into a laughing fit. It was worth the price that costume cost.

Random Stranger posted:Also, let's pretend for a moment that Destiny is a super smash hit. For some reason that isn't evident from what we know about it, the game catches the world on fire. You're looking at 20 million sales in that case. This isn't going to happen for a lot of reasons, but we're going into the land of Activision's wet dreams. $300 million is a lowball of the marketing budget, I've heard it's closer to $360 million, but let's go with that number. In this event they have spent $15 dollars per sale on marketing. The return on a copy sold of Destiny is going to be about $15. Who's going to make the next Crash Bandicoot game then?

I don't think Geoff was prepared for that specific question Joel asked him about if he was actually excited/actually going to play any of the games he was hocking at the end of the VGX show and had to stop thinking about it otherwise it would lead to an internal crisis.

All sounds like some guy being asked to make up a bunch of company names all at once. Just think of how many companies shut down in the last ten years with names like those that used to populate Kentia Hall. If only Kickstarter had been a thing last decade a bunch of them might still be here with us. Also talking about gaming media that have their own booths brings back memories of G4 still being a thing and offered permanent{?) tattoos at the convention one year.

Cautionary words to note should you go to E3 and decide to use the bathrooms near the Nintendo booth:quote:i've met/talked with charles martinet at least five times over the last decade. he's a super nice guy, but mario is sort of part of him. one time i was playing nsmbw at the nintendo booth with him and two other people, and he made mario sounds throughout. last year he kinda went 'wahoo!' to himself as he threw away a paper towel after washing his hands as we crossed paths when i went into the men's room.

raditts posted:No doubt "voice of Mario" is the kind of career path that will take a toll on your sanity after 20+ years. That's why SEGA changes the voice over cast for Sonic every half-decade. Otherwise the process becomes irreversible. Just look at Mike Pollock, he might never not be Eggman again after doing it for so long.

Between that and the new Thief I really hate whatever engine that studio is using for these types of games, doesn't seem to mesh well. Y'know they don't even need to feed us any bullshit when they finally do show off Fallout 4 in the future. All they need to do in a live-demo is show us that they fixed the problem were your AI companions steal your rare foods and drinks from your refrigerator even if it's likely to kill them.

Ben Kuchera wasn't content to just simply get a single fanbase riled up at him yesterday, now he's seemingly trying to get as many people as possible upset at him this week:quote:E3 has problems. The atmosphere can be unwelcoming to women and punishing to anyone who has issues with crowds or noise. It’s an imperfect, expensive show that often drives home just how loud, gaudy and violent the video game industry can be. "I hope our readers realize how much work schmoozing takes."

Rocketlex posted:If this is real, I wonder what new, promising studio they acquired to make it and then shutter without warning. It's weirder because they didn't exactly acquire Superbot as much as Sony formed the study themselves to be an independent second-party studio made up of both new people and people with a Sony Santa Monica background, with the final form of the studio eventually working on PSASBR. The whole story behind the game's development and what they could/couldn't get seems almost more interesting than the game itself turned out to be.

Cole whatever from whatever game or something The developer said it was a mandate from from Sucker Punch, who were higher on the pecking order than the newbie dev. A similar situation is why there most likely wasn't any Team Ico representation. They didn't want any of their stuff in the game so there wasn't a trace. Even though...y'know they seemed perfectly fine with Little Big Planet DLC with costumes, sounds and stickers from their games.
