E3 Sony - Finished

[Comrade]

Looks nice but crazily close to Last of Us.

[HarryBizzle]

This looks great. Thank God they didn't call it TLOU2.

[Nespresso]

Well, there it is. 

[Benny]

Clearly the last of us universe.

It's so obvious that it doesn't need saying.

 

The point is that increasingly you see a lot of talk about videogames that LARGELY is a conversation about how good the game looks. 

 

Good graphics are not compelling gameplay, for fuck's sake. It's so annoying to see gamers selling gaming short for the sake of NOICE GRAPHICS. 

 

If a game is actually a good game, i.e. a thing that you play then you should be able to talk about with the visuals coming last in the conversation. 

 

That's also so obvious that it doesn't need saying. Who here said otherwise? Or was it a point in general about rest of world+dog? If so, point conceded.

[Benny]

So release date then? Stop fucking teasing us with TLG you fucking shits.

 

EDIT: I'm an idiot.

[Nespresso]

I predict Huber will cry at some point during this press event.

Well, at a press conference we don't have a huge amount to go on, and graphics are a big part of what we do have, and those graphics were fucking phenomenal.

 

But apart from that I thought the combat looked nicely visceral, and I thought that the little story between the man and his son was amazing. I'd look forward to more of that quality of storytelling in the final game.

 

But i've explicitly linked what I've said to the wider conversation about games.

 

Far too often 'looks amazing' simply and pathetically translates into 'the graphics are good'. 

[Space Renegade Ulala]

Fuckin' finally.

[TehStu]

Release date! Finally.

Sony just showing games non-stop then? That's cool.

Last guardian this OCT 

 

SONY WIN E3 BOIS

[Benny]

I really like the look of Horizon.

[tnman]

By the way, was that Harrison Ford doing the voice for Days Gone By?

[TehStu]

See, this looks* utterly amazing, too. Setting seems intriguing, too. I'd forgotten about half of this stuff coming out! Excellent.

 

 

*literally

Team Ico have an extremely good record, so I can't say i'm at all worried that it won't be. 

 

I'll also say it's not required to be the defining super master god-work of all time just because it has had a lengthy development. 

[OogyBoogy]

Oooh, something that looks decent at last.

[Comrade]

This conference is crazy, they are burning through amazing-looking games. Could they really have surprises as big as last year?

[HarryBizzle]

This is great. No chaff. Just game after game.

Complete change of direction for a tired franchise and you don't know what part the kid will play, exactly.

So far we've had 3 strong gameplay videos in a row.

Anything is better than the original games which were clunky and lightweight compared to other action games *cough* Devil May Cry, Bayonetta, even fuckin MGSR.

My favourite bit of last of us was when Joel pressed L3 and R3 to invoke his BEREAVED DAD POWER and then threw his magic runic axe at the 20 foot horned monster.

 

It's Dark Souls mate

[HarryBizzle]

This game is beautiful and it's got a HUD and menu system that looks like something from mid-360/PS3 era.

[FozZ]

Bloody hell, this is an opening. God of War, new IP Days Gone, The Last Guardian actually released this yr (October 25th) and now more Horizon Zero Dawn. All looking great so far.
