Will Hopes Be Fulfilled or Dashed? The RipTen Team Weighs in on E3

The RipTen team writes: We’ve covered quite a lot of E3 2012 already, and the show hasn’t even started yet. A few weeks ago, we asked our team of crack reporters what they were most excited to see from the show floor. We also asked them for their predictions (no matter how wild) about what the big three have in store for us starting on Monday.

While we’re revving up for oodles (yes, I said oodles) of news, previews and interviews, here’s an early taste at what we’re looking forward to from LA.

I'm sure Nintendo will have a great showing and maybe give us some welcome surprises, but I seriously doubt they're going to touch Sony this year...from a gamer's stand-point.

chrisyoung04224352d ago

I could use some Mirrors Edge 2 news....

NYC_Gamer4352d ago

I really don't expect much from E3 this year

browland14352d ago

I have high hopes for the games I know about, but I am also hoping to be surprised by a few unexpected announcements.

"the Xbox has a much better social experience in their Xbox Live service."

I have both Live and PSN. I'm not sure why anyone would think one was better than the other. As of a couple years ago, they are on-par.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown - A Welcome Rebirth

XCOM: Enemy Unknown rebooted the series back in 2012, and has since inspired numerous new strategy game series to be born.

If someone gets into this I'd recommend getting the enemy within version. It's got all the dlc included so it's the better version. Wish the author would've atleast mentioned it. I didn't see it.

Fantastic game though. Xcom 2 is top notch also. I've spent countless hours in these games.

ModsDoBetter187d ago

Excellent game.
Played to death on PS3 years ago.

S2Killinit187d ago

What other games were inspired by this game?

JL2930186d ago

Gears Of War Tactics, Phoenix Point. Many others.

shinoff2183186d ago

Phoenix point if I remember was created by the original xcom developer or something to that affect. I did try gears tactics some months ago and I just couldn't get into it. It's probably just me

JL2930185d ago (Edited 185d ago )

It was, but it was really closer to the newer XCOM than the older ones. Gears Tactics was okay but was hard to get into knowing there probably wont be a sequel.

Lollipop chainsaw now a remaster not a remake

At fans request apparently.

gold_drake202d ago

i wonder if they looked into what a remake would cost and went "NOPE Remaster it is" haha

FreeckyCake202d ago

It probably has to do with what the producer had mentioned recently. The thing about not wanting to change the essence of the original (e.g censorship). So maybe remastering the game was the best choice.

CrimsonWing69201d ago

The link to the story didn’t really answer the question. It makes no sense that you have to censor a remake and not a remaster.

What I got from that article is licensed music forced them to change to a Remake(?) and that they’re working hard with the platform holders to negotiate not censoring, which Sony is stupid about.

My question is, how would a Remaster not have to go through censorship?

I’ve seen dialogue changed in FF7 and Baten Kaitos. Then you have actual cutscenes being removed like in the dmc remaster.

I assume the same could be done to this game.

FreeckyCake201d ago

No idea. That's why I said " maybe ".

CrimsonWing69201d ago

Bull sh*t, you show me where fans wanted a Remaster instead of a Remake. I was more onboard with a Remake, I’m less excited just playing the same game I did before but now with sharper textures and better framerate.

ModsDoBetter201d ago

Probably realised this won't do the numbers so didn't want to invest.

No harm, I love Lollipop Chainsaw but it's a bit of a niche title.

gold_drake201d ago

yeh it was super niche even bk then

LoveSpuds201d ago (Edited 201d ago )

Loved it back in the day and have my copy sat on the shelf and ypu are right, it was super niche, which is why my copy is increasing in value slowly but surely. Hoping a remaster doesn't tank the value of my PS3 copy
