The Top Announcements We Want and Don’t Want at E3 2012

OXCGN:

"Ah, E3. The Electronic Entertainment Expo, gaming’s biggest event and easily the largest concentration of information throughout the year.

It’s in the air. Can you smell it? Feel it? Sense it? It’s right around the corner – in fact, from the time of this post, only thirty-seven days away – and this is when anticipation truly sets in and begins to build.

It’s quite simply the most wonderful time of the year in the gaming scene, and everyone is ecstatic. But with every E3, there always comes the great anticipations, excitements and – of course – the disappointments and let downs. It’s a given with any E3.

OXCGN is proudly returning to the show floor to provide coverage like none other.

Until then, here are the top announcements we do and don’t want at E3 2012, in no particular order."

Proeliator4375d ago

Pretty solid list..... I for one want republic commando 2. A man can dream...

X-Alchemist4374d ago

Just give me Fallout 4 and I'll be 100% satisfied with this years E3

kaveti66164374d ago

If they announce it with an upgraded engine (beyond the one used for Skyrim) and for next gen, that would pretty sweet.

StraightPath4374d ago (Edited 4374d ago )

Half Life 3 nice list though i agree.

MEsoJD4374d ago

I want Half Life 3 more than anything.

NYC_Gamer4375d ago (Edited 4375d ago )

I agree,with this list....no more tired sequels bring out some fresh new experiences....please no unwanted new type of motion control garbage announced..

Hooshuwashu4375d ago

Let's not remember Microsoft's E3 2010 conference... :(

i think the author truly hit the nail on the head when he said that developers need to utilize things like Kinect to do more games like Star Wars, that way it appeals to 'core gamers' more

Proeliator4375d ago

I don't know how they went from E3 2009 - arguably one of MS's best conferences - to the atrocity that was 2010.

I hope this year is better.

Disccordia4374d ago

Agreed. MS needs to improve this year. They really need that new console announcement

PopRocks3594374d ago (Edited 4374d ago )

"no more tired sequels bring out some fresh new experiences"

They're not going to bother unless those ideas get support and it seems many average gamers are pretty much satisfied with the status quo. Look at how MW3 and BF3 sold. Now compare that to Journey or No More Heroes.

NYC_Gamer4374d ago

That sucks man....publishers will play it safe since it produces the most profit for their company/share-holders....

PopRocks3594374d ago (Edited 4374d ago )

Occasionally they try something new. But even those games usually don't get the notoriety they deserve.

Nintendo's Pikmin, Microsoft/Twisted Pixel's Splosion Man and Sony's Journey to name a few. All well received new games that otherwise did not sell mega millions despite the positive screening given to them by the press.

Tomonobu Itagaki4375d ago

They ask for new IPs, yet 80% of their "do want" list is made of sequels...

Proeliator4375d ago

"Our medium is far too diverse to continually shovel out the same rehashed titles and content year after year, and you’ll quickly notice that much of the following list contains sequels."

They specifically point out the large amount of sequels to say that we need more new ip...

Nac4375d ago (Edited 4375d ago )

@Itagaki
Yeah, I was about to say the same thing. Cancels it out it seems...

Sithlord-Gamble4375d ago

I agree with everything except Killzone. All the KZ-Heads DO want another killzone that corrects the mistakes of kz3.

And Vita owners want some game announcements too!

gaminoz4375d ago

I'm sick of Killzone.

Want Thief 4!

DFogz4374d ago

Yes! As long as I see *something* from Thief4 I'll be happy with E3 this year.

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC1h ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Friendlygamer2h ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

monkey6022h ago(Edited 2h ago)

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya20m ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde12m ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me
