Quake Con, Square Enix Party, Comic Con: Impressions
By Raven10 2 Comments
So I've been trying to keep up with the three above events even though I'm burned out after e3.
So here are my thoughts:
Comic Con
Spielberg + Ghost in the Shell + Live Action? This could be either really good or really really bad.
Gaimen + Batman? Well after Moore and Miller this is probably the next best thing
Harry Potter 6? Where was it? I wanted more!
Zelda + God of War + Fable? It's Darksiders Wraith of War and it looks awesome. I am totally stoked about it.
Overall those were the things that most interested me.
Quake Con
Not much news out of this event. Wolfenstein looks ok but not great. Quake Live could be fun for a while. I would rather have seen a level demoed for Rage. And Doom 4 was officially announced a while back guys. I think id is a little confused.
Square Enix Party
How has this company not abandoned PSP development yet? Nearly half the games at the show were for PSP including cell phone ports. Not that I mind. My PSP is just gaining dust right now. A new title would be welcome.
Three Kingdom Hearts games at the show and still no videos for the public? I mean they are already playable and some only months from release. When is the hype going to start pouring on here?
FF13. Ok it was here in the form of the three announced games but according to IGN the trailers had mostly the same footage the company has been showing for years now. And really the lack of a public unveil for some of these titles is just upsetting.
Sigma Harmonics. I'm not really digging this game. It seems primed to a Japan only release.
DQ? Hello? What exactly happened to this series? Level 5's DQ9 hasn't been shown for over 2 years. And surely they have some more spinoffs planned?
Last Remnant... Was not present. Wait isn't this game supposed to be out this year? Like in a couple of months? Why wasn't it shown. Not that I'm complaining about info on FF13, KH, and so forth but there were some really glaring holes in the lineup here.
Speaking of holes, where was tri ace? Infinite Undiscovery is almost upon us and the game wasn't even on display. I realize Japan is not big on the 360, which may also be the reason LR wasn't present, but I would have loved some new info on VP: DS.
So overall I was very pleased with what was shown, even though I couldn't see it. I would really like some footage for the three KH games and it would be great to see anything on DQ, VP, or SO but I guess those were not to be. I'm kind of shocked that Last Remnant wasn't shown though. I mean it is a 360 title, but it's also on PS3 so it would make sense that the Japanese would want to see it. And since it is a lot closer to release than any of the games shown...
On the GB front, I've slowed down on my updates. I have a bunch of points now but I don't really feel the need to rush to 1000. If I go on a gamepage and see that stuff is missing or incorrect I will fix it. But for now I think I'll sit it out for a bit. It seems like half my updates get rejected anyways as other people have submitted them already. Once things quiet down we will see how things go. Anyways, you can read this blog here or on GS, as this is one of the blogs I am posting on both sites. Until next time folks.
