E3 Multi-Platform Trailer Round Up!!

Well E3 is now in it's third day and as I write this blog post I'm thinking what will E3 Day 3 have in store for us?? and What my final E3 Round Up will consist of?? We have had so MUCH awesome things that have been shown and revealed that my gamer head has exploded countless times.

So today's blog post will be rounding up all the multi-platform trailer goodness that I liked and was shown at E3 that will surely make an impact from now till this time next year and then some so with out further ado let's do this. 

First up is a Beautiful Tech Demo from Square Enix showing their new Game Engine! Now granted it is not an "IN GAME" demo BUT if this is what the games in the future will look like then damn!! Play the video in 1080p where possible:

Agni's Philosophy FINAL FANTASY REALTIME TECH DEMO

If I'm going to be honest that looks outstanding even IF it is not "IN GAME".

Next on my List of trailer of games to watch is from another popular series:

Resident Evil 6

 

Now from the looks of this we are getting back to the series greatness of an run down zombie infested city I'm looking forward to this one.

Next Up:

Transformers Fall of Cybertron

Also thanks to my buddy over at All Hail Starscream the boxart for the above game has also been revealed:

Now to be fair it is lacking one or two decepticons on the cover (They do win the war after all) but with that said it looks pretty nice I think it shows the games angle very well.

Assassins Creed III 

Well all I will say is looks mighty fine!! I'm a HUGE fan of this series and I can't wait to get my hands on this later this year. On the subject of Assassins Creed III For all you PS Vita owners there has been a vita only AC III game announced both trailers for this are below:

Assassin's Creed III Liberation - Aveline 360

Assassin's Creed III Liberation -- Reveal Trailer 

Next up is another awesome series being revitalized and that's Tomb Raider and this trailer is just bad-ass I for one can't wait for this:

 Tomb Raider

This game shows the birth of the Lara Croft we now know and love and it looks fantastic!!

My next multi-platform pick needs no real introduction but this "METAL GEAR":

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance - E3 2012 Exclusive Trailer

As a fan of the series I can't wait to play this and it fills in Raidan's (Star of MGS2) story between MGS2-4 But not sure if the Hack 'N' Slash element will suit MGS but time will tell.

My penultimate pick of multi-platform goodness is from the guys over at criterion games (The same guys behind Burnout Paradise) they have taken on the Need for Speed series again this time with NFS: MOST WANTED weather it is a remake or sequel remains to be seen but if i know criterion its going to be awesome:

Need For Speed: Most Wanted

 

Finally it is Call of Duty Black Ops II Due later this year it will most likely make the biggest impact of 2012 below is the gameplay footage from E3: 

Call of Duty Black Ops II (Gameplay)

 

Talking of Black Ops II there is a Playstion Vita only title coming this holiday season too the announcement below:

Call of Duty Black Ops II Declassified 

 

And with that ends my multi-platform look at the game trailers @E3! I will do my SONY, Microsoft and Nintendo round up later today or tomorrow once all things have been posted and announced as Nintendo have a 3DS conference later today. I will also show all their first party titles there too.  

E3 2012 Preview

E3 2012

Well its that time of year again where gaming's "Big Guns" come out and show us some new goodies :). So this year SONY, MICROSOFT and NINTENDO are expected to wow us with what they have planned for us over the coming months, So I'm going to take a look at each one and talk about what I like the look of from them this year.

First up:

9:30 am PT 5:30 pm GMT (Monday 4th June)

Now this year at E3 Microsoft are having a bit of a quiet one in my honest opinion BUT with that said there are a few things I'm looking forward to them showing in their press conference.

First of which is HALO 4,

 

 Now I can't hide this but I'm a massive fan of this series particularly the first trilogy (Not played ODST) and Halo Reach and as soon as I found out this one was coming out I thought MasterChief was gone never to return :(. I will be honest I have said in the past that Halo is getting sour BUT with a new Developer at the helm I'm hoping this will bring some freshness to the franchise.

What I want to see is some single player footage/content the plot and what not and a look at the online multiplayer. I do think (All be it personally) that the online aspect could use a bit of an overhaul nothing to drastic but something fresh. Would also like to see how and if they will work KINECT in.

Next thing I would like to see/hear more about from Microsoft is the Web Browser that they are planning for the 360, I have read in places that it is a "slim" version of Internet Explorer with the integration of KINECT. 

I'm looking forward to this as current consoles have browsers but they are not the most "User Friendly" ones in the world so I would like to see what Microsoft have to offer with this feature.

I also expect a few bits and bobs about KINECT.

Next Up:

6:00 pm PT (Monday 4th June) 2:00 am GMT (Tuesday morning)

   E3 for SONY this year needs to be very VERY PS Vita friendly Games, Apps, Accessories, New Features and the likes. 

One thing I want to see for Vita is new PSN/SEN integration (Which in turn will spill over to PS3) similar to XBOX LIVE for example a "Free" PSN service like what we have now a PSN+ service similar to PS+ but not a "generous" for example early access to demos (Before PSN "Free") better gaming servers and free content and a final PSN "Platinum" Service with all the benefits of the previous two but with access to all public BETA's and a ton of free stuff. If this is announced would like to see a pricing scheme and the tiers they will provide.

The next thing I'm looking forward to is this:

All we have seen from this at the moment is the online mode (which despite my original worries) looks great and fresh for a game of its style. But what I'm expecting to see at E3 is the single player aspect and how and where they take the franchise and if they can stick to the high standard of the previous titles. Also I hope they show more of the online modes too. This will be on of SONY's biggest draws at E3 this year I think.

One other thing I'm hoping and praying for is a look at Quantic Dreams next offering. After that awesome tech demo a month or so ago they said "This has nothing to do with our next project" but cast your mind back a few years they said the same thing about the "audition" video before Heavy Rain's announcement. So will we see the next David Cage and Quantic Dreams next epic at E3?? I for one bloody well hope so.

Also expect a few other game announcements and some MOVE news.

Last and by no means least is our pals over at:

9:00 am PT 5:00 pm GMT (Tuesday 5th June)

Now Nintendo's E3 is fairly self explanatory the most obvious thing is WiiU.

Announced back in 2011 Nintendo's next machine should be out for Xmas 2012 (Just a guesstimate). But what will Ninty let us see at E3?? Well I for one want to see the the machines capabilities as it is rumored that Assassins Creed III will run on it IF true this would mean it would be upto PS3 and 360 standards.

Info wise on the WiiU I fully expect to hear the final specs and price point and actual release date and games for it all at E3.

Another thing I would like Nintendo to announce a "revised" Nintendo 3DS with the dual circle pads on it. I think it was something that was needed from day one and IF they do announce or show it will make me go out and grab one as I have been looking at getting one since launch.

I would like to see them also talk about an online service (similar to PSN and XBL) as it is one thing the Wii did not really have and with the 3DS and the WiiU should make for a good addition to the Nintendo range.

Other things Ninty will talk about is games for Wii, 3DS and the WiiU.

Other notable Pressers are:

Electronic Arts (Monday 4th June)   1.00pm PT - 9.00pm GMT 
Ubi-Soft (Monday 4th June)   3.00pm PT - 11.00pm GMT

Konami are also doing a presser the Friday before E3 8am BST - 12am PST. I expect some info on MGS Rising, ZOE 3, ZOE HD collection new Castlevainia and info on "Project Ogre".

Other bits I'm looking forward to seeing from E3 this year is:

Grand Theft Auto V
WWE '13
Assassins Creed III 
Resident Evil 6
DMC
Need For Speed: Most Wanted 2 (If rumors are true)

Would also like to see IF SONY and Microsoft have anything up their sleeves as far as the "Next Generation" is concerned but both have said NOTHING will be at E3!! Some how I think at least one of them will announce something!! 

There are many more things that's just a short list! Anyway thanks for reading this a little long but it was fun to write it :). Anyway enjoy E3 from 4th June 2012 till 7th June 2012.
