News E3 2016

[pantskyle]

Skyrim still feels rather fresh for me as a game.

 

[Footypie32]

Is this Skyrim thing 100% confirmed? Would be awesome if true. Especially with mods.

No idea why this is happening so close to E3, why wouldn't they just wait for the show?

pre-rendered "Gameplay" reveal at E3, since its a 2016 game no point only having a reveal trailer.

Looks nice, now we wait for the huge downgrade, it will look half as nice and 1/5th as populated when it comes out.

It's very hard to get hyped over this considering how huge a letdown the first one was*.

It wasn't a bad game just mediocre... probably the worst type of game.

*Im not bitter because i spent $190 on the collectors edition.

I think that's almost a positive though. The first one sunk because expectations were too high. It was still an enjoyable game in my personal opinion, just not as brilliant or groundbreaking as it was made out to be. This time around, with lesser hype, provided they build on the formula I think it'll be fine.

 

[The Big Sauce]

Yeah Watchdogs was just average at everything (bar car handling which was atrocious) filled with all the open world filler that Ubi throws into every game.

If the get a similar jump that Assassin's Creed II had then it could be decent. But I'm not expecting that.

Don't think Ubi will do the same mistake again.

 

[aussiedude]

Watch Dogs was bad because of the story and characters. the shooting and driving was better then GTA. and the huge downgrade it got even after a 6 month delay, but some of the downgrade can go on the fact it was multi gen. if they can have a good story and make a likable main character and supporting cast it can become a franchise, otherwise there should never be a 3rd game.

Im not expecting much, i hope the game can become what they promised the first would be.

What will the collectors editions have, Iconic Ray bans, Iconic bandanna, Iconic hat. Whatever POS it ends up being you can bet Ubi will try and call it Iconic.

Yeah i do, Why would they stop now its not new for them, it only happens for every Ubi game.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Yeah i do, Why would they stop now its not new for them, it only happens for every Ubi game.

Yeah but I reckon the reason for the downgrades is they had to port the game to X360 and PS3. I'm assuming the game will get released for the XBOX,PS4,PC only.

I think GTA slayed it in both car handling and gun play. Driving cars in GTAV was fun and I enjoyed shooting thing in GTA. In Watch Dogs the shooting was functional without ever being impressive, the car handling is the worst I've experienced since Tony Hawk's Underground.

I thought their approach to multiplayer was novel, even if it didn't work out too well.

Rainbow 6 and The Divison are in that video. None of those games were on last gen systems.

It's just their standard marketing practice, people are getting sold on that first impression. There are people who bought those games based off of those first trailers without needing to see the game again. So they'll keep doing it because it makes them money.

We shall wait and see.

I'm one that thought the car handling in GTA went backwards, I didn't like it at all. I don't think the car handling in WD was bad but, it just felt a little too drifty.

My bad. Edited the post.

Derp. What happens when they release the new updated consoles. Same thing is going to occur.

Injustice 2 announced for PS4 and XB1 coming 2017. Its going to be a direct sequal to the first picking up with Superman in a Red Sun prison.
I dont get why games need CG trailers


We are super excited to announce the latest installment of the Injustice franchise, Injustice 2, coming in 2017. As the sequel to 2013’s Injustice: Gods Among Us, we wanted to come out swinging. We’re doing all of the things you’d expect from a sequel. We’re adding new characters, new environments, and we’re taking environment destruction and interaction to the next level

But we didn’t want to stop there. At NetherRealm, we always want to make games that are fun, challenging and innovative. We strive to give players a level of control that makes playing our games a truly personal experience. For that reason, we have introduced a brand new Gear System, allowing players to build their own version of Superman, their Batman and ultimately, their Injustice Universe.

The Gear System uses RPG-like mechanics to reward you with loot drops every time you play the game. With each loot drop, you will earn character-specific gear to outfit and power up your roster – changing not only the look of each character, but your fight strategy and your personal approach to every match. As you gear up your characters, you’re building a roster of DC Super Heroes and Super-Villains that reflects your choices, and your preferences, which can be vastly different than your opponents. A few play sessions in, you can expect your Aquaman to look and play different than anyone else’s Aquaman you may come across.

[Gentlemen]

I'm surprised Watch Dogs 2 is even in consideration

Honestly couldn't see it doing well at all

 

[Igloo]

I'm a big fan of fighting games, and I didn't like the first Injustice at all. I thought it played terribly.
Will not buy #2.
