E3 2013: Watch as Microsoft takes a right on the Nascar track.
PostPosted: Mon Jun 10, 2013 1:46 pm
I'll try to update this post throughout the day with relevant information. But for now, I present you;
STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT 3
Microsoft highlights:
- Read the "Xbox One" thread for system specifications and DRM bullcrap.
- The 'Xbox One' will be available in Novemberish, for a price of $500.
- Xbox Live subscribers will now receive two free games per month. Make of that as you will.
- Exclusive games include Ryse, Titanfall, Forza 5, Dead Rising 3, Quantum Break, and Halo.
- Trailers for MGS V, Battlefield 4, Dark Souls 2, and Witcher 3 (all multi-platform games)
Sony highlights:
- No DRM. No having to connect to the internet every 24 hours. $400 price tag. Console war = won.
- GTA V PS3 bundle.
- Even more streaming options for movies and TV.
- Lots of indi games.
- The Order 1866. New IP, looks like a pretty unique title with a steampunk setting.
- Infamous: Second Son. Dialog seems fluid and natural, though I have never played any prior games in the franchise.
- Final Fantasy XV
- Kingdom Hearts 3.
- Destiny gameplay. Bungie, you're doing good partnering up with Sony.
Nintendo highlights:
*Note, I wasn't able to watch the whole stream. I'm probably missing a ton of stuff.
- Super Smash Brothers for the Wii U and 3DS. Looks like the same engine from Brawl (final smashes?). Also, a new challenger approaches! *cue 8bit theme*
- New open-world title by the people who made Xenoblade. Looks like Monster Hunter with transformable mechas.
- Thrid party support is dwindling. No surprise there.
- Bayonetta 2.
- Wind Waker HD & a sequel to Link to the Past.
- New Mario game. Surprise?
Third party:
EA:
- Star Wars Battlefront 3, brought to you by the fine folks at DICE and EA. Will use the Frostbite 3(?) engine.
- Need for Speed Rivals, also using the Frostbite engine.
- Mirrors Edge 2. Didn't see that one coming.
Ubisoft:
- Rocksmith. Assasin's Creed. Rabbids. The usual.
- Trailer for Splinter Cell: Blacklist. No Michael Ironside = no Sam Fisher.
- "Tom Clany's The Divide". Open world RPG set in the near-future, not much revealed.
- The Crew. Another open world game, this time with cars. Apparently you can explore every mile of the United States (the world map is most likely not 1:1 scale). Edit: Confirmed for always-online DRM.
- Watch Dogs trailer. More-or-less the same kind of deal we had last year. Hope they show more gameplay.
