Yeah I thought Long's quip about no titles was dumb. That's not all there is, especially now that SBs are almost entirely random (for playoff qualifiers)

What else is there?

This coffee stuff better work.

You're pulling an all-nighter? When is your deadline? Good luck, brother!

Bill and Schiano both canceled practice today.

They probably gonna hang out, play some videogames, drink a couple of beers and maybe make out if Bill is drunk enough.

Different teams have different goals. Jags fans and players would rightfully be thrilled with 8-8. The players of course can never say that publicly. Teams like ATL and SF of course need to make deep playoff runs. But I'm not calling ATL's 2012 season some failed year. Harry Douglas doesn't trip and they are in the SB. The playoffs are random. It's a roulette spin.

 

[bionic77]

Man that Wonderful 101 game looks amazing.

That and Donkey Kong looked like must haves on the Wii U.

GAF tell me what I should be looking at on the 3DS, Vita and PS4 from e3?

Don't bother with Vita. Just get a PS3.

I'm sure Thomas Dmitroff considers it a failure.

Winning the Super Bowl is the only goal worth talking about. Nobody's gonna care in 6 months whether the Rams won 2 more games over last season. All mediocrity buys you is mediocrity.

I don't really think there's anything you would want on console, besides all the "Indie" games that are just re-skinned SNES games

For 3DS they honestly didn't show much, although they did release a new trailer for Yoshi's New Island and the LttP sequel (A Link Between Worlds).

For Vita...

For PS4 (and everything else) this is a handy list: http://i.imgur.com/dfChJKh.png

Highlights for me were MGSV, The Division, Killzone: SF, InFamous: Second Son, Battlefield 4, Mirror's Edge 2, The Order: 1866, The Witcher 3, and Destiny.

So much gun shooting.

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

So much gun shooting.

I keep waiting for myself to get tired of shooters but it hasn't happened yet. I get tired of very specific formulas like CoD, Halo, and Gears, but a new world with a few new mechanics and a shiny coat of paint is often enough reason for me to give a game a look. Plus, stuff like The Division and Destiny looks interesting for its MP and RPG elements.

I definitely enjoy variety, though. Usually I find that mixing in a bunch of Japanese games and Nintendo stuff with the shooters makes for a nice balance.

 

[Milchjon]

I wonder how shooting became the de facto standard mechanic in games. But it's just so much fun. I'm not tired yet.

To be fair some of it is more nuanced like the Division.

I was really hoping Mass Effect would influence more western devs towards making games like that, where dialog and choice was just as important as shooting. Instead it went the other way and corrupted ME.

Fighting games and racing games both made a huge comeback this gen, plus the host of arcade games on each platforms feature way more non shooters then shooters. I think shooters taking over the industry is crazy overblown.

I'm not either, though I have less use for the straight up FPS anymore. I like Deus Ex over CoD. I really miss Splinter Cell being a real game. for all the crap Ryse is taking, people should look at what Splinter Cell has become. It's entirely button prompts!

What can I say, we love our guns over here.

The second Splinter Cell was the best. People always rave about Chaos Theory, but Pandora Tomorrow had some really great locations.

What racing games made a comeback?

Fighters and racers combined sold one tenth of what FPS' did this gen. It's not even close.

Now that is definitely something I can agree with. Honestly I'm not thrilled at how shooter happy next gen is looking so far but I still enjoy straight up FPS enough that I'll pick up a couple of them. I'd prefer RPG's, though. Just looking at my top 5 so far for this year you've got:

1. Fire Emblem: Awakening
2. Ni no Kuni
3. Dragon's Dogma
4. The Swapper
5. Bit.Trip Runner 2

The first shooter that shows up is Call of Juarez: Gunslinger which did enough to differentiate itself from typical shooters. Anyway, my point is it's certainly not my favorite genre but I'll still have some fun with a few of them.

 

[yankeehater]

Maybe in total numbers across all games but GT5 sold amazingly well and even Forza 4 did well. We got tons of fighting games, even though no one of them sells like crazy, devs are still making games like that because they do well.

 

[Milchjon]

Fucking Forza. PGR is so much better, it's not even funny.

I blame racism for the lack of success.

Forza 4 and Horizon each sold less than their predecessors.There is no racing resurgence - if anything that genre is contracting. The Fighting game resurgence was a blip on the radar that looks to have ended with SF x Tekken bombing.

Devs will still make games of all genres. Problem is the flagship games from studios are more likely than not FPS', and old western franchises are most likely going to be resurrected as FPS'. the First person shooter dominates the market. This cannot be disputed.

The older I get, the less I care about dialog in games. I used to buy into some of these games and try hard to get some enjoyment from their stories, but now I'm usually jamming on buttons to skip them unless it's clear they're really well done.

They usually fall into the categories of games that put story in because they feel they have to and it turns out terrible, or games that think they're changing the medium by stuffing their game with things that barely enhance (and usually detract from) the experience.

This isn't a knock on Mass Effect (never played it, sci-fi/space isn't my thing in games), but just in general for me.

Weren't you jizzing your pants over MGS earlier?

They are such different games there is definitely room for both. I played so much PGR around launch. Cat and Mouse was a great online mode. Hopefully MS does something with the PGR franchise at some point nextgen.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Weren't you jizzing your pants over MGS earlier?

The usage of stealth look amazing in MGS5. Too bad Kojima is still involved and the story makes as much sense as the Tebow signing.


Uuuuh, go Tebow #TeamJesus

Per Adam Schefter, the Broncos released RB Willis McGahee. I don't think he'll have trouble finding work. Maybe Oakland?

The story in MGS4 is one of the worst things to ever happen to gaming. It has been declared a war crime in 7 countries to make someone watch those cutscenes.

MGS looked eh.
That Tom Clancy game looked amazing. I am a little tired of shooters, but that looked really different.
Killzone looked amazing. But honestly I am pretty sure I would get bored of it within 5 hours. That looks like a rental not a buy. Or at best a 20 dollar throw-away.
Infamous looked great. I want to play that.
Somehow Mirrors Edge did not do it for me. But that was super early.
Didn't see any gameplay from the Order.
Destiny was very meh (though I am not a huge fan of FPS).
The Witcher looked great.

 

[bionic77]

You have a Wii u? So disappointed Bionic.

Nope. Haven't really seen any games that I like for it. Wonderful 101 and DKC are the only two that really impressed me. Oh and that X game. But since none of them are out I don't see why I would buy it other than to spend 300 dollars to replay SuperMetroid.

3DS only so far for next gen.

Just like the DS was last gen this looks to be the best console this gen.

Will The Witcher feature mermaid sex?

You can probably only get it on PS4.

Once the Kinect 2.0 sees you in a filthy Pats jersey they will probably shut you down and put it in virgin mode.

 

[Greg]

Weren't you jizzing your pants over MGS earlier?

MGS1 was a great example of how to do it though. I thought it had a pretty unique presentation at the time (even if it became bloated for most of the series afterwards).

I might have dreamed it or it may have been a hallucination, but I am pretty sure I saw a commercial for a show about Real Mermaids on the History Channel.

Those are the people that hack into yankee's free Xbone to watch him play multiplatform games 2 weeks earlier than the rest of us.

As long as the mermaid has the top half of a fish and the bottom half of a human there wouldnt be any problem with having sex.

Sorry I am just way to old for shit and fart jokes. Plus the story really falls about and doesnt make any sense at parts. I wanted to love MGS4 but it was just to much.

 

[Spectral Glider]

I got burned out on shooters somewhere around '04 or '05. I would probably buy a new Half-Life though. I loved HL2 a lot and just dig that universe for some reason.

You didnt go back for the trophies? LOL I doubt even Graverobber has the platinum in that game. It took like a ton of playthroughs to unlock everything. I swear Kojima made them ridiculous just to get back at all the people that kept harassing him to add them.
