E3 2014 - PC's Official Conference And Livestream Discussion Thread!

Obviously the first thing Microsoft opens up with is Call of Duty. And most of their games are shooting games so far. So far nothing interesting for me.
 
Can we discuss what we're looking forward to/hoping for? I'm hoping SquareEnix have some good announcements. I've already heard there will be FFXIV update news but maybe, just maybe, we'll get a date for FXV?? Or at least something new ;; they're making this production as long as possible it seems.

The surprise announcements are always the best <3

That was pretty much the only thing that I was excited about, thinking about E3. But alas, apparently there won't be any additional information regarding the games, or so they say >>;; Square Enix needs to get their ♥♥♥♥ together. On the other hand, I'm looking forward to seeing any other PlayStation exclusives there will be for the coming years.
 
I hope they announce something about FF XV too...it's been all quite for that game since last E3... Also some news on KH III.

They've said that both FFXV and KHIII wont be shown this year (outside of the short KHIII teaser at the end of the KH 2.5 trailer), so unless they lied for whatever reason then that wont be happening.


Well, the Microsoft conference was better than I expected (by this I mean they attempted to make it something other than SHOOTERSHOOTERRACINGSHOOTERRCINGTEEEEVEEEEEEEXPLOSIONSHOOTER for once). Sunset Overdrive and Scalebound look interesting, but unfortunately playing them would require me to buy an Xbox One, so ahahahahahano.
 
It was INFINITELY better than last year's conference, and there were certainly announcements to justify owning an XBone, but not enough to convince me to ever get one.

ONTO EA.
 
I enjoyed it. Scalebound looks like a nice, new title. Like a fast-paced open MH with magic and a non-spiky-headed version of TWEWY's protagonist. Without the pins.

Witcher 3 and DAI have been announced for a while but thanks to bad run-ins with Witcher 1 and DA2, I haven't been paying much attention. These two seem like huge paradigm shifts, though, and I'm looking forward to them.

The Division is as ambitious as ever...almost to a fault. It relies on player motivation and interaction that will be very hard to come buy, and with trolls, an open world, players not able to/not wanting to engage in player-to-player interaction, and 12 year olds, the game's vision can VERY easily be broken.

Spark is looking more ambitious than when I played it, but and it could become something big...if they only polished out that combat.

Ass Creed is Ass Creed with coop, so nothing too big. Tomb Raider 2 is a thing. Sparkload Overdrive (or something to that effect) looks interesting for a lower price, seems like some short fun.

Fable Legends looks promising. I wasn't expecting much at the beginning, but it throws in some innovative concepts that makes leaving its roots seem like a positive prospect. That one I'll be keeping an eye on.

Can't remember much else other than that. Halo's Halo, which is good for fans such as myself as long as the collection is affordable (but there's extended media included, and it's the show, which is a little divisive). Not much of Phantom Dust was shown other than an announcement, but overall I think it was a good presentation. Well, good for Microsoft, not my wallet. I already wanted a lot this year and E3 isn't helping.
 
It was a very good conference. Focused on games with good pacing and consistency. Variety was lacking and too much CG on the other half of the conference, but otherwise it managed to convince me that an XBox One could be a good investment, so it's a success in my eyes. 8/10

Favorites: 60FPS HALO 3 HOLY ♥♥♥♥, Scalebound, Phantom Dust (!!!) and dat sweet Dead Rising 3 DLC.

Apparently Halo 2 remake is a big thing?
(image no longer exists)

At least Halo 2 Anniversary will be 60fps. <3


Reading replies here some are already dead set on not buying an XBox One anyway. :V

Yep. Despite how much I absolutely hate the 360 and I'm not much a fan of Microsoft, the Xbox One isn't a bad console. People just right it off right away, and that's a shame.

Forgot about the DR3 stuff. That was hilarious! Everything about that was just...yes.
 
EA's stream is on if you guys wanna check that out~

I have a 360 myself, but don't own many games aside Tales of Vesperia, Tekken 6, and a few others, but its true, the Xbox One has been getting a ton of heat, what with it's endless cracks about it's voice system like 'Xbox One on!', and the heat it got at the start where I think you had to pay for used games? Until they reverted that, at least.

Yeah, heard the news after I posted that. So sad about that. Guess Smash Bros and OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire are the only things I have to look forward to hearing info from this year.

Sunset Overdrive looks to quirky for my taste (not like I own an Xbox One though but still).

I heard that Sony will have at least two exclusives showing at E3 according to an article online. Nintendo is said to have a similar number to what we saw from Microsoft.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
