E3 2012

[Kaneco]

Didn't expect much from Xbox's presentation, at least it was better than last year's by far....but that's not saying much.

EA was....expected to be somewhat underwhelming, nothing strange about that. I'm excited for Dead Space 3, though.

[Dracarys]

Ubisoft next, expect much awfulness.

*Cue intro for Mr. CAFFFINEE!! DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO!*

[Dracarys]

What do Ubisoft even have? Gonna have Assassin's Creed 3, the Vita AC title also. Splinter Cell and Tom Clancy stuff. Just Dance or Dance Party?

[Canas Renvall]

Ugh... let's put it this way, if the rumored new Prince of Persia is anything like the 2008 junkpile, this will just be so dumb.

Not that it won't be dumb anyway.

[Dracarys]

PoP 2008 was great.

[Canas Renvall]

Nolan North was great. The game wasn't.

[Dracarys]

The combat was too easy (every PoP game) but the platforming and art style was great.

[Canas Renvall]

You literally cannot die though. The combat was easy, but it was fast-paced. 2008 was so. Damn. Slow. And you cannot die. If that isn't handholding I don't know what is.

Edit: Not to mention paying for epilogue DLC. That's a huge no-no.

[Dracarys]

Is very hard to die in the older games, unless you intentionally do not use the practically always available rewinds. PoP 2008 while you always get saved had much longer parkour sections which I found infinitely more fun, and an error reset you to the start/last solid platform after she saves you.

As I type this I can hear Ubisoft conference in another browser tab. Urgh.

[Rombie]

Nolan North was great. The game wasn't.

Amazingly I read an interview with North last week where he said his work in it was his greatest regret because his standard voice just didn't suit the games visual design. He said he should have put an accent in.

No love for Rising? I thought the game actually looks like it'll play well.

[Canas Renvall]

Tobuscus, that's interesting. Thank god it isn't Mr. Caffeine.

[Dracarys]

Tobuscus? Sounds like something you'd cough up, or down, in the back of your throat.

The woman presenter shows promise.

[Rombie]

Lesbian joke, sex and nudity in less than a minute. NeoGAF must be going nuts right about now.

Edit - I wonder if Spike was aware of this being broadcast at this time of the day. LOL

Edit again - Must be, it's only streaming online. Not on the TVs.

Edit the third - I bet that meter on the GT site went way up into the likes when the footage started.

[Dracarys]

I hate how quality drops everytime a gameplay demo/trailer.
