E3 2016 Discussion + Press Conferences - June 14th - 16th

Just hard to get into a game that looks like a Wii game.

I'm sure many others feel this way too.

Somehow you managed before 2005.

 

[aleshemsky83]

I recommend you watch it in HD.

There's no way Breath of the Wild looks like a 2007 game.

To be honest even in HD, these youtube videos get really fuzzy when theres a lot of moving stuff like grass blowing around. This one really suffers from that

 

[FLYLine27*]

I don't care what the game is. I would never wait in a line like this for a demo.

Seriously. That is madness.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Seriously. That is madness.

All for something that looks like a game from 2005 How do people get into minecraft? It is so blocky

 

[RoadDoggFL]

They're obviously paying their respects for the death of Nintendo.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Maybe I'm just an old fart but it brings me great joy to see so many gamers get enthralled by a new Zelda games.

Brings back a lot of good memories from 1998.

Your loss.

As usual with people who judge games on graphics, you miss out on a ton of great games for no good reason.

Graphics ****** are not gamers.

 

[SpookyTsuki]

I really don't care about graphics. I still play oblivion

I understand this mentality for gritty, realistic games that haven't aged well, but for something like Zelda it's pretty dumb. Good gameplay is good gameplay.

 

[Fire Everyone]

You clearly don't care about gameplay either.

 

[SpookyTsuki]

I mean. The sword is pretty much the same. It's just press the trigger and it hits then

The magic is superior. But the bow is pretty trash

98 made you feel old? How about 91 or hell 87? Haha.

 

[Suxnet]

I'm just not sold on VR as anything more than an expensive fad right now. This E3 hasn't changed that.

Really? I thought 3D was a fad which would die out when VR became more mainstream, and I was right. VR is still in its infancy and you need pretty powerful hardware to run it well at the moment, but it's the future imo. I can't really think of anything else that could beat the immersion that virtual reality offers. It will get better and more affordable as the industry and technology advances.

I mean people will come up with some cool ways to use the tech just like some people got creative with the DS touch screen or motion controls and the Kinect.

Overall though I still expect the usual amount of shovel ware or ****** VR tack on (looking at you final fantasy) and for the old wheel to keep turning. Want people to keep innovating with new tech, but a controller and a tv just works.

It still feels like it's a ways away

The inherent value of immersion is greatly overstated.

 

[Sined]

Seriously. That is madness.

The line up for today was exactly the same thing again. I got to the LACC 15 mins before opening and still didn't get a spot.

Looks like no Zelda for me

 

[RandV]

I understand this mentality for gritty, realistic games that haven't aged well, but for something like Zelda it's pretty dumb. Good gameplay is good gameplay.

With a marquee Nintendo game you're also guaranteed great polish, plenty of single player value, and a bug free experience. Combine that with solid gameplay and who cares if graphics aren't cutting edge.

 

[RoadDoggFL]

Yeah, everyone knows how getting lost in a work of art is such a lacking experience.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

I never said immersion was worthless

Just that it's overrated

VR is a good example of it

 

[RandV]

Correction: immersion has different value to different people.

My loathing for you people who just want your TV and standard controller will never end

 

[XX]

Valve thinks immersion is the next big drug and it got them off their ass to do something. I'm inclined to believe them.

Don't get me wrong

For example, I absolutely loved Skyward Sword and it's motion controls, that was the most immersed I ever was in a game and that was 5 years ago now

Thing is, Skyward Sword is still not all that great

I think good design and gameplay matter far more than immersion-ness

Valve thinks immersion is the next big drug and it got them off their ass to do something. I'm inclined to believe them.

Agreed, that's what the market seems to be craving. Plenty of great stuff will take place thanks to VR getting better but your use of the word "drug" is telling.

 

[Blitzkrug]

I'd appreciate if Nintendo stopped trying to kill the franchises i actually enjoy.

Metroid is dead basically and now old school Paper Mario is too. Color Splash looks like the same garbage Sticker Star was.

I'd say nobody wants that, but Sticker Star inexplicably sold well. No hardcores want this.
