E3 2013 hype-dump thread

Now will that be compatible with my ipad, I got the latest I can't remember what # the 500$ one

It's Microsoft, so no, iPads won't work with it. Windows 8, Windows RT and Windows Phone 7/8 are the only devices with Smart Glass.

I don't think that's true. I have an Android Phone and have Smart Glass. Unless you mean the new system will only work with Windows devices.

Edit: And I just did a quick search and iPads seem to support it as well.

You guys see dragons prophet? Looks extremely fun, now idk how they are gonna balance the pvp where players can basically buy their way to the top vs a player who only can afford to spend a few dollars and has to earn his xp the hard way by hours of game play.. Other than that it look cool as [&@%!]

I am So exited for project spark. It's free, and practically sponsoring the huge amount of player created content already.

Watch_Dogs
Mirror's Edge 2
Thief
KHIII

My hype list. My wallet is gone get raped.

Thief does look pretty good. And I can't wait for Watch Dogs.

Unlike normally, I'm actually not so excited for AC4.

[Generalno1]

makes sense. although i'm beginning to understand their move. i mean, we have another metal gear solid, and no one is thinking that they should stop.

Atleast now they'll be out of the similar vien of AC III. I dunno though. I'll wait and see if they mess it up.

Ryse son of rome looks interesting. but if the combat is 50% QTE like the demo looked, i might not get it.

[The-Shadow-One]

I know Nova AC4 just.. Feels much like trying to get a dying horse to walk the last few miles so you don't have to carry the stuff by your self.

Oh man, always thought I'd pass on this next generation. I mean, I really didn't like where the industry is heading and was surprised I'd be surprised about that. Well [&@%!] me.

Mirror's Edge 2. Big fan of the first one. And guess what I thought to myself would be freaking awesome for a second game? Open world. Man. The gameplay could be identical, I swore I'd worship that game if it had open world gameplay and the same sense of speed and thrill. Now they will probably change things a bit, hopefully for the better. So Mirror's Edge 2 really had the potential to be a huge game for me, could definitely be a system seller for me.

Thief. I actually only played Thief: Deadly Shadows on Xbox and I really loved it. Quite a unique stealth game, semi open-ended where you can walk around town between missions and buy or steal stuff or do some mini-quests, and then do the regular stealth missions. Which were all pretty big and often open spaces with plenty of different approaches possible and all. Plenty of additional stuff to do and really nice treasures to steal. The atmosphere of the game was also incredible, something which Thief seems to totally recreate. And it is 1st person only! And the vision thing is optional! There's plenty of things I saw and heard in the demo that really gives me faith. Actually I was surprised just for the 1st person thing. They almost seem to be making an hardcore game!

And that's the thing with these two games, granted we don't have much detail but it seems the developers are not desperately trying to cater to everybody with plenty of [&@%!] elements. They seem to be going somewhere interesting while every other sequel right now just disappointed me. Speaking of which, I think it is cool we have a Mirror's Edge 2, the second game of a ''new'' IP, rather than Call of Duty 13 like they now seem to be at. And it's only the fourth Thief since quite some time now, the last one was out during the original xbox' lifespan...



Also, Watchdogs has a really nice concept even if I haven't seen much from it. Although it's being made by Ubisoft Montreal which I almost want to boycott for their merciless fall from grace. They used to be a pretty damn strong studio and then [&@%!] on several of their best franchises while making other [&@%!] games...
