The days of E3 being a Mecca for gamers are behind us (as the show became a press-only affair a couple of years ago), but fortunately since then it's regained some of its splendour and it's still a very significant event in the gaming calendar. After 2008's somewhat lacklustre offering, it's a relief to see companies showing some really impressive stuff, albeit to a much smaller audience than in previous years.
But it's a show of a different kind as well – a show of force, a call to arms to the legions of loyal fans, a rallying cry and a re-arming of the troops in the console war. Bombastic rhetoric aside, consoles have always inspired an amazing amount of loyalty in the gaming world, and the near ubiquity of the internet has escalated the conflict from simple schoolyard bickering to raging flame wars that encircle the world.
Plenty of unforgettable games have completely messed up their players throughout the years, all the way back from the PS1 days to the dark recesses of the modern internet.
Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.
Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."
You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is
That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.
Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion
Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*
*As per Wikipedia
Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
tell us something we don't know xD
#1 reason why E3 "fans the fanboy flames"
Because every news site, tech site, and blog site feels obligated to declare "______ stole the show at E3!" and "______ is the winner of E3!"
#2 reason:
Because fanboys get jealous when deep in their hearts, they know that the "other" console showed off better stuff.
Not Only do you get to be Amazed at what Sony Shows us in terms of Fantastic Exclusive's and a Look into the Gaming Future !!
You also get to Laugh your Ass off at The Crap that the BoTs are Gettin and you get to Laugh your Ass off even more at the Bleak Future of the Xbox
The article unfortunately mixes up gamers and fanboys. We must remember that most of the people out there are gamers, fanboys just hang around sites like these for attention and make their numbers look greater than reality. I'm getting kind of tired of the repetitive retarded comments we see on this site from them.
Now a days though its just hard to care. The consoles are here and have been not much to argue over.
So much other stuff going on in the world. Video Games are the least of peoples problems.
Im ready for next gen already or just different types of games. Developers have gotten so close minded its amazing that the industry is still here.
