General E3 Discussion: E3 2014

[nonny]

Anything that's not a bloody sequal, persuado sequal, or were not really a sequal but secretly we are a sequal.

Something, anything, remotely original.

Sequel.

No one wants originality apart from forum people, and then when originality does come along it's ignored by forum people.

I'm hoping for more 'original' GTA clones. Something like Saints' Row, Infamous, Crackdown, Watch Dogs, or anything like that.

Just name it differently and change the main character, job done.

For the first time in 17 years, there will be no new Need for Speed game this year. Ghost Games are going to hold the next entry back till 2015 in an effort to boost quality

Mario Kart 8?

That was mean, I almost dropped my coffee in shock! Dream... shattered...

[Sketcz]

I continue to live in hope.

It's frustrating, as you often see bloggers and pundits say things like "Skies of Arcadia fans, your prayers have been answered!" and then post all about an indie game with a few similarities. Given, the game looks good, but that sort of thing never "answers my prayers"; I want a proper sequel, even though I'm aware I won't get one because the niche is too small and the potential budget too huge.

I think the golden era of dreamcast gaming has long gone, more than that the dynamics of the gaming industry has changed so much that we will never see games like devs out put during that era. The risk is too high. That's why I think E3 has become a shadow of its former self. No one will risk anything truly original, it's no longer economically viable. At least in the triple A sense. Thank goodness for the Indy scene, ironically really emerging strongly this gen due to Sonys and MS's support for the scene for their home consoles.

Whatever MS reveal, it won't include Gears which is now only 100 days into development

Oh well .. I think Gears has run its course to be fair ... This is the current beef I have with this time of year though .. People start announcing things before E3, by the time we get to it everything is known about.

It's near certain nothing will be at E3 but Take Two have confirmed that Bioshock 2 developers 2K Marin are now in charge of the whole franchise going forward

I suggest you try a WiiU if you think that. It's basically Nintendo's Dreamcast minus ports of non-existant Nintendo arcade games.
