E3 2012 may be two and a half months away, but that doesn’t mean we can’t make some predictions!

E3 2012 only two and a half months away? didn't realise how soon it will be.
I just hope for some glimpse at sonys/ms' next gen plans

WooHooAlex4418d ago (Edited 4418d ago )

Its almost that time of year again!
Unfortunately, I'm starting to feel like E3 will be the last real push for the 360/PS3 and that we won't have any new hardware announcements.

From Nintendo, we all just want to see the Wii U, the final specs and I want to see some real games (no tech demos this time around).

From Microsoft, less Kinect, more games and hopefully they unveil the successor to the 360.

From Sony, I just want to see all the games that have been rumored for a few years now. Title Fight, GT6, God of War 4 ect... and lots and lots of new Vita games please. Bioshock, MGS, CoD, AC to highlight their third party lineup and hopefully some good first party stuff too.

yabhero4417d ago

MS already confirmed that the the 360 successor will not be there this year.

WooHooAlex4417d ago

@yabhero
Ya I know. That means absolutely nothing tho. If they were planning on unveiling it at E3, they wouldn't come out and say it.

Angrymorgan4417d ago

Yes but they wouldn't deny it either, they simply wouldn't comment.

guitarded774418d ago

LoL... The Mass Effect 3 "new ending" DLC prediction is probably the lamest E3 prediction ever.

BigManFanelli4418d ago

Hey man, I agree and I wrote the article. If BioWare waits to talk about ME3's DLC until E3, it'll be at MS's conference.

guitarded774418d ago

Or EA's... I'm not knocking your article... hell, at least I took the time to read it before commenting. I'm just saying it's a sad state we're in where gamers would expect or want DLC to change the ending of a game, and to me that is lame.

BigManFanelli4418d ago

I'm with ya. It pisses me off that they even have to change the ending to begin with. I'm sure they'll find something else to bitch about too.

CHARLIEBROWNE4418d ago

Just hope the vita and kinect segments are kept to a minimum and not dragged out.

ABizzel14418d ago

I agree with the Kinect part (unless they finally shouw something that really wows), but Vita can have a nice chunk of Sony conference since it's:

1. New hardware.
2. Suppose to have a huge 2nd half of the year.
3. It's a great gaming platform.

BitbyDeath4418d ago

Announcement of new consoles would be good....

yabhero4417d ago

It would but MS and Sony said there out of it... WiiU is hopefully going to convince everyone though... I for one am convinced...

BigManFanelli4418d ago

As much as I agree with the "new consoles plz" comments, both Sony and Microsoft have said they weren't getting into it at this year's event, so I didn't include them in the press conferences. Now, game companies have flip-flopped before, but I may as well go with their most recent comments, right?

BitbyDeath4418d ago

Yea, i'm just holding onto hope that their comments were all for PR sake and they'll actually try counter Nintendo.

Also hope you're wrong about the Vita stuff :-p
Selfish, but i've never been interested in the PSP/Vita side, would be better if they could either hold multiple conferences or at least extend their usual one to cover both.

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies14m ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

CrimsonWing6911h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker11h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing6910h ago(Edited 10h ago)

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos7h ago(Edited 7h ago)

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos16h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto16h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger8815h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies5h ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
