Gareth of Skewed and Reviewed got some hands on time with the latest Zelda game during his coverage of the 2013 San Diego Comic Con. The game is a work in progress build but shows fans that that have something to look forward to.
Skewed and Reviewed kick off 2024 with a look at the need for in-person game conventions with the End of E3 and compares the cost-cutting methods of Hollywood who still value in-person events.
so, this article didnt tell me why we NEED to have in-person shows like e3, other than the authors nostalgia and remembrance of covering one of these shows.
but it also doesnt mention everyone outside of america who have never had the chance to see it in person either haha
we had to watch the darn livestream, if they had it available, at 3am in the morning haha with lags amd crashes (not all the time)
while i think these shows are great and all, i dont really "need" to have them. people are busy, im busy. id rather watch a livestream than to book a flight, a hotel etc.
but theres still pax and all of that.
I'd rather publishers send out closed betas to garner gamer concern and interest like how we had demos back in the day.
I don't miss E3 as much as I loved it at one point but that era is long gone.
Sad to see it go. It was a great event for gamers and developers all around the world getting together and celebrate gaming as a community.
The announcements of new games/hardware, hype, surprises and seeing live audience reactions, it's something only events like E3 are able to bring. It will be missed...
if its going to be anything like the game awards where celebrities that dont even play games are there and its just full of fluff and commercial crap than no we dont need in person shows. we just end up watching the trailer montages the next day anyway.
To be honest E3 was one of my favorite times of the years when I was younger. I couldn't wait for all the big conferences and new announcements. It was hype even if nothing good was announced we had cringe moments to laugh at.
Relive the golden age of gaming with these timeless video games. From Wind Waker to Monkey Island, get ready for a nostalgia-filled ride.
I'd put Street Fighter 2 over 3. 2 and all its different versions dominated the arcade scene back in the day in a way that 3 never did.
Ms Pacman?
Robotron?
SSF2 Turbo over 3 simply by the 10000000000's ports of the game we're still having
Castlevania SOTN?
Zelda Link to the Past over Wind Waker
Super Mario Bros 3?
Chrono Trigger?
Resident evil4?
COD MW2 (the original)?
Uncharted 2
Metal Gear Solid?
Here's my reasoning for all of them versus the list proposed in the article.
They are still quite enjoyable from start to finish on their original platform, unlike some Wind Waker or Okami that are fun when you play the remastered version (unless you call: forced to watch a 20-minute cutscene or have to blow for wind chance constantly fun).
Some of them are the pinnacle of what the console could do (MGS, Chrono, MGS)
Lots of them are still considered the go-to-go game for their genre.
During SDCC I spoke with Ed Boon and Thiago Gomes about Mortal Kombat 1 as part of a Roundtable.
>Wind Walker...
BUT this is how I remember the gamecube version?! :| :/
It would not line up well on ladders, I kept falling on the ledge as you can see. They said the graphics and gameplay needed work. It was very dated to me. Characters still beep and chirp instead of talking, the music is old school, gameplay was very retro.
Why post such a crappy shaky off screen video of someone who sucks at playing and doesn't even no what the game is called. How and Why did this get here?
this video is rage inducing. How can you be so bad?
