The Failures of E3 2012

E3 seems to have lost its muster over the past few years as this generation comes to a close. It seems hype and speculation seems to fuel each event going into it, and then all the speculation is proven wrong, making a lot of "experts" look stupid.

The only failures I can think of is Allot of the developers weren't present. little to no surprises besides Watch Dogs and Star Wars 1313. All 3 of the company's were lack luster especially Nintendo. How can you say, we have so many games and content coming to the Wii U console but can't talk about them on the stage?

MrDead4343d ago

The worst thing about E3 is that it generates endless whiny opinion pieces that just spout miserable crap.

MiamiACR214343d ago (Edited 4343d ago )

Looks like E3 and you have a lot in common.

MrDead4343d ago (Edited 4343d ago )

I generate opinion pieces on my video game press conferences? Or that I'm a games expo?

MiamiACR214343d ago

You generate endless whiny opinion 'pieces' (Comments) that just spout miserable crap. Now grab a juice box on your way out of the class room MrDead, you deserve it.

MrDead4343d ago (Edited 4343d ago )

I'm sorry was this yours or your husband’s article, just wondering what warranted that attack?

This year’s E3 had a lot of positives that many gamers enjoyed, an article on that would be better than the huge amount of negative ones. Each year we get the same slurry pumped into N4G that seems out of balance. The guy even moans about the 12 free games for Plus Members because he hasn't got enough space on his hard drive.

I will still take that juice box but if it isn't a carton of Um Bongo you can keep it.

obviously sarcasm isn't your first language. i only have one bubble.

projectJenova4343d ago

microsoft as usual failed once again....
they showed once more that they dont care about the core-hardcores fans showin a middle finger an sayinghere take another halo and gear so u can shut up....we care about kids and kinect already

nintendo was the biggesr failure this year tho and all know why

sony except wonderbook wich btw for us it was boring as hell but this crap WILL SALE sh!tload just because it has the signature of JK rowling.
did an amazing job showing AAA exclusives
thats what gamers want games...there is no better time to join the ps3...it is by far the best console available

DasTier4342d ago

Who do you think your convincing with all your pro Sony, anti everything else drivel? You remind me of those religious nuts you used to get in airports that give people flowers. Do you realize how foolish you look?

The Last Of Us Series Has Remarkable Potential For Spin-Offs

Najam from eXputer writes "It's time fore a new installment in the series, not another pointless remaster."

anast86d ago

They are working on something new. Not to be rude but it is impossibility stupid to think ND next major announcement is going to be a remaster or their next Last of Us entry is going to be another remaster.

AlterRecs83d ago

I think this is in response to them releasing a remaster for the sequel, a game that didn't need a remaster.

Basically a "why did you put out a remaster no one asked for when you have all there options available"

anast83d ago

They remaster is to put out something quick while they are deving new stuff. I don't get how people can be so static.

AlterRecs82d ago

There's no news about a third game being in production, you're just assuming that they're working on something that they aren't

anast82d ago

When they release the news to start the hype-train, you can give me my props then.

DrDoomer86d ago

I want an alternate timeline spin-off, where part 2 never happened.

CrimsonWing6986d ago

They’ve already done Remasters of 1 and 2… what else is there to Remaster?

AlterRecs83d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing6983d ago

That was a Remake. I guess they could do that to 2, but man…. They should wait a couple generations so it can look like a major upgrade.

The Last Of Us Online Devs Celebrate Their Experience With The Canceled Game

The team is sad for losing out on such a great project but celebrates its growth because of spending time on it.

Chocoburger130d ago

All they had to do was make a basic online mode like their previous games. Instead they wanted more money and choose to go live service which makes games worse in my opinion.

What a waste of time and money, what a shame.

seanpitt2386d ago

I can't wait for season 2 so they can kill Joel off in the first 2 episodes!! Then it will be just Abby and Ellies revenge plot!

Something is telling me that this won't happen though because it wouldn't make sense, oh wait

Linzoid130d ago

Not sure why they didn’t just make Factions 2. There was no need to make it a live service.

TLoU Factions was a great addition such a shame they couldn’t be bothered to remaster that for PS5 considering the crazy high price tag of the remaster of a remaster…

anast130d ago

This is something to be celebrated. This studio is smart and they get it, even factions 2 wouldn't've have been worth the time. I am surprised they didn't just remaster the first one though, but actually how popular was Factions?
