    E3 2013

    Concept »

    The nineteenth annual Electronic Entertainment Expo took place at the Los Angeles Convention Center on June 11-13, 2013.

    So which game screams "That is NEXT GEN"?

    Pretty much everything looks like PC games, but I'm at least glad to see a big focus being put on 60fps.

    Out of everything shown, Titanfall and MGSV are the only ones that wowed me (even if I have no interest in ever playing a multiplayer shooter). I'm pretty excited about the Witcher 3 as well, but we didn't get a particularly good look at it.

    It is not about graphics. Just look at this bf4 footage. That was next gen with the scale and the destruction. Was it possible before on the PC? Sure but no one tried that because consoles were limited.

    Yep, MGS5 and Witcher 3.

    Also BF4 if it truly has full on destructible environments in multiplayer.

    I just tuned into the end of that EA conference. Was the BF3 gameplay there multiplayer? If so... that was pretty fucking cool.

    MGS 5, I guess. At least so far.

    Uncharted 3 looks better than Titanfall. Just saying.

    MGS5 is the only game so far that looked next gen. I'm sure both sony santa monica and naughty dog will blow our minds visually at the very least.

    Graphically, Battlefield 4. It was breathtaking.

    From a gameplay perspective... I'm not sure yet. I have to see more gameplay from a few promising titles. MGS5 and Quantum Break could very well be unique experiences.

    With PC graphics in the most optimized games being where they are right now, none of the games stood out to me--not even MGSV, The Witcher or BF4. Yes, those games look great but they look current PC games. (Which is a leap for consoles, I'll admit.)

    I like the way Titanfall looks, and I'm not necessarily talking about graphics. Jetpacks, parkour, and mechs? Could be pretty awesome.

    But as far as graphics go I really liked the flashes of full cities that The Witcher 3 had. The Witcher 1 and 2 had impressively busy cities but they never really felt like a big, bustling city. I'm hoping that the next generation can do that.

    Also, I'm glad so many of the games are supposed to run at 60 FPS, I hope that becomes a permanent thing.

    I missed the Microsoft conference so I can't say anything on those games until I find an archive.

    Anyway, The Division impressed me quite a bit (Ubisoft knows how to end their conferences now, it seems), and even though it was CGI - Watch_Dogs is still cool fucking awesome.

    Battlefield 4 was pretty awesome, especially the end. Titanfall seems cool, too.

    Gaaaaaames!

    Division seems really good right now for AAA stuff but I am really sad to see so little spot light on the indie scene. Here is hoping Sony delivers. Oh and am I crazy or is that PVZ fps look kind of good?

    Metal Gear and The Crew. Maybe thats because Forza and Drive Club and Need For Speed failed to show real gameplay. The Crew looked genuinely bigger and fuller and smoother and less pop-in-ier than todays racing games. The Division looked great too, in terms of cars on screen, etc. That five second trailer of blue cyborg parkour man Tom Cruising the side of a skyscraper at night also looked like something way advanced vs. current gen tech.

    I'm excited to see what Sony shows, now, if the "PS4's APU actually has 50% more processing power available for games" thing is true.

    The 50% more deal is confirmed for my eyes. It brought what looked like next gen for me for real. How the shit.. how..

    MGS5 looks blurry as hell to me. Like the textures or resolution on that shit is low. And the gameplay still seems to be playing catch up. The horse stealth thing was funny and stupid. WOuldn't you look over and wonder what the fuck a horse with all that gear was doing? I would think it was running away from one of our camps and go after it. But such is the stupid world that Kojima thinks is amazing. The Witcher 3 stands out of course.

    The Division gave me fucking goosebumps, I played Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon so much at LAN parties and the idea of playing THAT with those people again just made me super happy.

    Really impressed by the rain tech in Watch_Dogs, and that's even going to be on current gen.

    The skin textures in that Magician tech demo looked good.

    I think MGSV for me.

    MGS5 and BF4 for all the extra environmental damage they appear to be able to process in addition to 64 players online.

    Now that both conferences are out of the way, I think Deep Down from back in Feb still impressed me the most. Barring it being dishonest in some way.

    MGS5, FF XV and KH3. That's the kind of art style I hoped they'd go with and the kind you'll only see on a next gen console (KH3).

    The Crew looked really impressive in scope - open world, persistent online across the entire U.S. with a detailed tweaking and upgrading system. That was the one that got me during the Ubisoft press conference.

    The realtime shadows inside "The Wall" section of Destiny. Especially the bit where the little flying light robot went between some tube supports. Next gen shit right there.

    Infamous: Second Son. Everything looked clean and stunning. Faces looked natural. Ryse was very close as well. Faces in Witcher 3 and MGSV looked weird.

    Though my interest in the game is somewhat limited (I'm so bad at online shooters) I thought Titanfall looked pretty special.

    Destiny also looks impressive. I find that one particularly interesting because it's Bungie and considering what they've done in the last two generations I can't help but think that this game has real potential to be something more than just another shooter. Plus it's Bungie and it's not Halo - that's just still kind of weird :P

    The Division is the first thing that really impressed me and seemed like there is no way it could work on the current consoles. Having said that there is a lot of pretty cool looking stuff, that one just seemed like there was more to it than a facelift. I'm sure being hands on with most of these things will reveal much more detail and nuance than can be gleaned from watching trailers or other people play. I'm getting much more excited about next gen now than I was expecting to.
