NiGHTS was the only game to come back that meant enough to my childhood to garner that kind of reaction. It is one of my all time favorite games.
I watched the trailer and I had a couple of thoughts. Do the makers of the trailer know that we have fish and flowers and trees right now? Go outside, nerds. Secondly, if the cities all went dark, why are there herds of wild robots? What purpose does a giant saw giraffe serve? What do the humans get by hunting machines with pointy sticks? Why are they using pointy sticks since there are laser cannons and rocket launchers easily obtained?
I dunno. It looked interesting, but at first blush it just looks like GG took a few different ideas and chucked them together. I'll keep an eye on it, but I can't tell if they're making a delicious stew or a disguising crockpot abomination.
What purpose did a chainsaw dick serve in Robot Jox? Who cares, it was amazing. I am looking forward to hunting a robot T-Rex
I still have my Saturn and copy of NiGHTS, I love that game.
Same. But the lid of the console has a broken spring.
still plays though!
Well, if it's an RPG, everybody should care about the world building. If it's more of an action game, it matters somewhat less.
Post conference interview had the head of Guerilla discussing the game and he mentioned there is an explanation as to why the machines exist in the world and one of the key story elements is discovering the why's, etc.
god bless sony for funding pc games i can buy cheap down the line
The considering GG hasn't made an RPG part of your statement is what concerns me the most. They've never been terribly good on the narrative front with Killzone so it leads me to wonder if they can handle something like Horizons well enough. Though it's great to see them try something other than Killzone.Sure. I'm just saying that the trailer raised a lot of questions and considering GG hasn't made an RPG yet, they're definitely starting off with an ambitious idea. Considering I live for open-world RPGs with interesting settings, I really hope they pull it off.

My mom has informed me that her eldest sister passed from a massive stroke, not really speechless just have a lack of emotions, I never met her before so I have no sentimental attachment to her. Just feel bad for my mom.
Just found out today that one of my close homies might have a brain tumor.... man we only 26 WTF. Getting a second MRI from another place just to confirm but fuck shit... I don't know how I would react if shit was real.
World Cup, Super Bowl and Shenmue 3 within the span of a year...
Best year ever.
Life's all downhill from here.
OK, so I´m officially the only one the Sony conf did absolutely nothing for.
And they couldn´t even fund 2mil for Shenmue? wtf
the kickstarter is to gauge if there is a market for the franchise before the investors (Sony might be one of them it's unknown right now) give Yu the real money he needs for the game.
If that's the future of gaming, count me out.
When the big ones get so risk averse that even initial funding has to come from the future customers, nothing good will come from this. In the end, we would only get niche games shills internet-hyped to oblivion.
We have more variety now, right now, than we ever, ever had as gamers.
That's thanks to indie developers. Not by having countless remakes shoved down our throats.
even if you disagree with Kickstarter as a practice,
No, I don´t per sé. Its a great tool especially for indies and other small projects.
And thus I agree with your conclusions on diversity.
But I still think its despicable, if that tool gets used by the big companies. They simply offload their own entrepreneurial risks. And in the end steal visibility from the small/indie teams that need stuff like kickstarter to survive/exist.
I don't see what the fuss was about the last guardian.
If Sony's conference did nothing for you then you're going to hate the fact that years from now people will hold E3 2015 in the same esteem as the year Twilight Princess was revealed. They literally brought out all of the white whales of gaming.
I was happy for you, my friend!WHAAAAAT A TIIMMMEEEE TO BE AAALLLIIIVVEEE!
IT WASN'T A DREAM! THE LAST GUARDIAN IS REAL!
I know and it makes me hate myself. I just feel cynical and jaded now, last year I would've been right with them, Sony is bringing back the legends, Sony just destroyed E3, etc. But this year I looked at the facts and it didn't look too good. They are remaking a game with very outdated gameplay, and it's obvious it just started production. Not to mention it's behind KH3 and FFXV, so we might not even see it this decade. The other game is a goddamn Kickstarter to an open-world game that was deep and innovative 15 years ago, but who knows if it'll be compelling now with all the open world? And TLG was cool to rereveal, but it honestly didn't look terribly interesting to me gameplay-wise. Add in the fact that of all of them, and most of Sony's other announcements, TLG was the only one that got a release date at all, and I can't call that a good conference.

I'm telling your mom you're being mean to me.
