E3 2011 - Everything Else That Mattered
By H4rdc0rr 1 Comments
Yes, still outdated, but I wanted to wrap up my E3 ramblings with a quick summary of the stuff I loved from the show floor.
My most anticipated game from the show is easily Battlefield 3. While I do have a lot of fun with the Call of Duty series, I did play a lot of Battlefield 2 back in the day, and I much prefer the slower, tactical aspect of its multiplayer over COD’s fast-paced “kill-die-respawn” style. It’ll be great to see how the two games stack up against each other this Fall.
The Skyrim demo blew me away as well. Oblivion and Fallout 3 are two of my favorite RPGs of this generation, and I’m glad to see Bethesda is bringing in that same great style to a new engine with a ton of new features added. Summoning lightning storms? Fighting dragons? Destroying the economies of villages? Sign me up.
Other games like Mass Effect 3, Uncharted 3, and Assassin’s Creed: Revelations all delivered what I think everyone was expecting and they all look incredible. I would’ve liked to see a few more surprise game announcements like a new GTA or Tom Clancy game, but everything that was shown off looked really refined and well-made, making this year's E3 one of a kind.
