Quick thoughts on Playstation Press Conference 2011

Uncharted 3- The trailer showed Sullivan and sounds like then game will have more of him so SOLD! Demo happen on a old cruise ship. The water looked great, it had volume and flowed nicely. Cant wait to play the beta later this year.

Sly Cooper: Thieves in time- Never played any Sly but I did pick up Sly cooper 1 and 2 a month ago and have not played them yet.

Resistance 3- looks the same as 1 and 2, I dont care for this game.

God of War: Origins Collection- both PSP games coming to the PS3, 2 less reasons I want a PSP.

NBA 2K12- Like the Heat joke at Kobe and that Kobe sucked at the game when they say wasy to pick up and play

Medieval Moves: -deadmens Quest- looks like the move demo we saw last year was turned in to a game.

Showed a InFamous 2 trailer which is out tomorrow, review coming soon.

PlayStation Vita- $250-300 ok good. games look almost like a PS3 game. Showed off Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Ruin, ModNation Racers and Street Fighter X Tekken which Cole from InFamous 2 will be in the game.

Over all alittle boring, no new big titles, PlayStation Vita was linked a few days ago. Most of the show was move and Vita, two things I dont care for. Also no twisted metal?

Quick thoughts on Ubisoft Press Conference 2011

rayman origins- looks artish like Braid. Guessing its a speed run game, the whole demo was them run fast, Looks fun.

Driver: San Francisco- nothing new that I didnt see or hear from last year

Far cry 3- looks alittle better than 2. I hope the guns for break down, I hated that in 2. Watching the trailer on TV most of it was beeeeeeeep.

Tin Tin game really?

Tom Clancy's Future soldier- 4 player co op, seems more Call of duty than Ghost recon. From twitter: hilarygoldstein - "Ghost Recon makes me want to play Modern Warfare 3, which is saying something." and he is right

Just dance 3 WHY!!!!!!!??????

Rocksmith- help you learn to play the guitar, it will fail other games have tried this and none have been good.

Assassin's Creed: Revelations- cant beleve that its coming out with year, demo looks great fire looks nice. Wonder if that will have multiplayer too, Brotherhood multiplay looked fun but its already dead from what I saw on the 360.

Trackmania 2- wanted to hear about shooter mania and quest mania but nothing.

Raving Rabbids: Alive & Kicking- oh god a kinect game, mini game where you fill in the shape looks like a fun party game... for 5 mins.

Over all I wanted this to end I couldnt stand watching this press conference. I hate Mr. Caffeine, all his jokes got dead silence, please bring back Joel. Only two games I enjoyed watching were Far cry 3 and Assassin's Creed: Revelations. This is worst then Konami press conference, that was taped and I could pass the boring parts.

Quick thoughts on Microsoft Press Conference 2011

Modern warfare 3- Looks great, I am guessing that the 1st level was shown, in it get to swim, drive a boat, blow off a tail of a sub then enter the sub. All this happen to a city that under attack, no signs or any idea what city it was. No Price in the demo, hope he is in the game.

Tomb Raider- revamp game? play as a 21 year old Lara Croft. Demo shown had Lara in a tied up in a cave and needed to escape. Music sounded great and went well with the game. Like the camera look, it had parts in 3rd person view and place cam views like in god of war. This look like the best Tomb Raider game i seen.

Mass effect 3- will use Kinect, looks the same as 2. Didn't show much

Tom Clancy's Future soldier- will use Kinect as well, showed off gun customs very detailed and many options. Showed off play with Kinect and it looked dumb, holding out his fist like he was going to fist and opening is hands to shoot. trailer looked boring with the whole Matrixs frozen time this.

Showed off new dash board- I dont like it, just looks like they want to show you what you can waste your points on. Youtube on xbox? I will use that like i do with facebook and twitter and thats never. Xbox is so much full of shit it needs Bing to help you find it, Bing is being added to live. Live TV coming to xbox, didnt say much about it. No price given. If its cheaper then the sitalite I'd which. Smart way to sell more 360s to people who already have 1.

Gears of war 3- Gears added mechs to the game. Ice T making a song for horde mode. Looks a touch better than 2.

Ryse- 1st person fighting game in Romen times using Kinect, this is what the hardcore gamers need.

Halo 1 being remade for 360, will have online co op and multiplayer. Hope they are not asking for full price.

Forza 4- I think they should slow down on making these alittle. uses kinect, didnt show much of it.

Fable the journey or the on rail shooter, mah. uses Kinect, on rails and you shoot magic zzz. Wonder how broken with game will be like Fable 3 was.

Minecraft coming to the 360 woo? online?

Disney mini game collection with a virtual disneyland in it. Sorry kids we cant go to real Disneyland so here play this. The first 2 kid actors were good and the next 2 one I think was saying the others lines.

Kinect star wars more then lightsaber, has driving in it too. Looks great aother game thats needed for hardcore gamers

Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster - kinect game getting bored with all the kinect games now next. The kid who was saying the other kids lines returns and reads the lines for dad now.

Kinect labs- FUCK, get to play with tools out now

Kinect sports 2- wii sports > this

Dance central 2- now 2 people can dance at once. online?

Halo 4 the fight continues starts where Halo 3 left off

Over all a lot of kinect like last year but most of the games and normal games with kinect suport. No price drop, cheap ass gamer kept guessing at a $50 drop due to $50 gift cards system packs always on sale. Would of like to have a drop on the price of Kinect. do I want a kinect now, alittle before it was a no.

Quick thoughts on EA Press Conference 2011

Mass effect 3- melee attack added to the game, grenades are back from one I will hate that it may have less RPG is it but if the story and action is good I will look passed it.

Need for speed: the run- not just racing cars also be on foot. looks like Need for speed meets mirrors edge. looks greats like the last need for speed game.

SSX- never played a snowboarding game, may rent it when it comes out. uses satellite pic to form the maps, cool.

FIFA12- boring break time

Star Wars: The Old Republic- Trailer and no game play again come on two years now with no game play.

Madden 12- at the start of the press conference it was said that they didnt need celebs for the press conference but three football players, that count as celeb?

Sims social- Sims facebook game that people will spam invite to me and make me hate facebook even more.

Overstrike- class base shooter, looks nice, trailer is funny hope the game is too.

Battlefield 3- Beta finally happening in September. Frostbite 2 was shown, the engine for the game. levels are more bigger due to it. Looks and sounds so real. Cant wait to play the beta.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning- Looks like Dragon age but you get to fight not just press a button and wait while the game fights for you. Even though a pitcher of the Red Sox Curt Schilling is the owner of the Studio I still want to get this game.

Over all quite a few jokes about paid membership and what other press conferences do. Wish to see more Over strike 9, want to see some game play of The Old Republic and learn more about the on foot parts on the new Need for speed game.
