    Instead of starting few threads for some awesome games, I think it will be better to have their videos from E3 in one place. Few I have watched and seemed interesting in one way or another.

    Watch Dogs:
    - Introduction Trailer,
    - Game Demo Video.

    Star Wars: 1313:
    - Gameplay.

    Wonderbook: Book of Spells (from Rowling):
    - Trailer.

    ZombiU:
    - Official Trailer.

    Halo 4:
    - Trailer,
    - Gameplay.

    Gears of War Judgement:
    - Debut Trailer.

    The Last of Us:
    - Gameplay.

    Right now Watch Dogs seems like the best game showed on E3.

    I'm liking Watch_Dogs and The Last of Us. Could not care less about fucking Call of Duty, its clone Medal of Honor, or Gears of War.

    The Last Of Us looks absolutely incredible. Unfortunately the damn Playstation only release means I wont get to play it. Then again, Xbox does get Halo 4, which makes up for it somewhat.

    That Wonderbook thing looks rather pointless. Although I was initially interested by some new Harry Potter content, it doesn't look like there's going to be anything overly interesting. It all looks rather gimmicky.

    Assassin's motherfucking Creed III gameplay trailer.

    Free-running through the trees looks smooth and hunting with a bow looks like fun.

    Yeah, that's had it's own thread for a while here.

    Thanks. This thread was on the front page. Hadn't ventured into the rest of this part of the board yet.

    Between Star Wars 1313 and AC3, I'll probably end up failing out of university.

    Skeet skeet.

    I need to see more of 1313 before making a judgment. Seeing all that waist-high cover in the gameplay they showed wasn't exactly promising. But at least we're not playing as the shallow, idiot super-Jedi again.

    I want Republic Commando 2 and Battlefront 3, god damn it.

    On the other hand, they'd probably be Call of Duty/Battlefield clones if released in the current climate, so maybe it's for the best.

    God dammit, fuck 2013.

    I've got so many games I'm looking forward to, and Q1 is going to be hell on my wallet.

    DmC - Januray
    Bioshock: Infinite - February
    Tomb Raider - March

    At the very least, The Last of Us is TBA and Watch Dogs doesn't have a release date. Yet.

    Beyond: Two Souls from Quantic Dream. And it has the "real" Ellen Page in it, unlike The Last of Us. Though to be fair TLoU changed Ellie model since the first trailer and unfortunately she lost a little of her charm in process, but it may look that way only to me because I like Ellen Page.

    I'm really curious about Watch Dog. Seems like a really cool idea coupled with reasonable controls. Two things that are very compelling,

    The same was said of Heavy Rain, and it turned out to be more of a VN than an actual game. Don't get me wrong, I loved Heavy Rain, but the point needed to be made.

    Holy Square Enix, Batman.

    I'd heard that the real time rendering capability of the Luminous Engine was impressive but goddamn.

    FFXIII-3 is going to be mag-fucking-nificent.

    Something really just felt... off to me in that. Square cutscenes have never failed to amaze me until now, but it felt... I really don't know how to describe it, but it just didn't look right.

    Watch Dogs looked freaking awesome. I really want to believe the AI will be that interesting and advanced, though I can't shake the feeling this is another Oblivion with its embellished radiant AI claims. The way some of the AI reacted to the crash seemed way too complex to not be scripted to me. The game still looks awesome though, and I'm always interested in a fresh IP.

    The Last of Us made me want to get a PS3. Seriously, fuck console exclusives anyway - every developer should cater to the glorious PC master race solely (I kid, I kid - but still, fuck exclusives). Kind of reminded me of The Road in some senses, a man and a child in a post-Apocalyptic world. The Hunters are a bit similar to the Blood Cults in the Road, and the lack of bullets was similar too.

    AC3's trailers looked cool. The boat one I was very wary of though - flashbacks to the terrible cart chases (and Leonardo's other inventions) of previous games struck me immediately.

    Star Wars 1313 looked... alright, I guess? I'm not a huge fan of third person shooters, and the trailer didn't show much else. Graphics looked good. I'm a big fan of Star Wars games, but there didn't seem to be anything really exceptional there. Guess I'll have to wait and see more.

    No no, you've misunderstood. This isn't a pre-loaded GCI cutscene. It's realtime rendering. This represents what Square hopes to achieve with gameplay and in-game cutscenes (the little snippets of transfer action which use gameplay models to play out a scene). Basically, this is what the cinematic aspects of gameplay would look like.

    Here's an example of an ingame cutscene from FF13-2.

    And compare.

    You can now be impressed.

    It'll be more less the same as the last three cod drops.

    Well, in this case it's not an exclusive for the sake of being an exclusive. Naughty Dog is a second party developer; they aren't Sony, but as far as their games are concerned, they may as well be.
