I'm not too sure how I feel about some of the new Mortal Kombat X characters yet. The Aztec guy looks cool though. But they sort of give me a feeling like they were supposed to be in another fighting game. That might have to do with me only seeing Scorpion and Sub-Zero. If we saw some of the other main stays in comparison, like Jax, Raiden, Sonya, and Johnny Cage I might be less cynical on the MK Newcomers.

Then again, I really liked Kenshi in the PS2 Mortal Kombat games. That reminds me, I should try to find the Gamecube version of Deception some time.

Is it me or if I see another shooter I will kick a kitty out of a window, seriously is not that I don´t like the genre (Metroid Prime and Bioshock are amazing) but there should be a limit.

They've been one of the biggest money makers in video games since Halo 1. A few other series have managed to capture that magic. But it does get annoying to see so many try to hard to reach an audience that's already likely satisfied.

Every once in a while there's some games that'll do something different with the genre. As you said, Metroid Prime and Bioshock are the leading examples of this.

Yeah but I don´t know if they are going to the point of over saturation like the fighting genre in the 90's and the worst part of it is that people will no pay attention to this type of games if there are new and take the formula in a different way like Bioshock and Metroid.

Y'know, I really wouldn't call Metroid Prime a FPS but instead a FPA. The focus of the game is about exploring and the adventure not on shooting.

Can't comment on Bioshock though.

Is still the type of mode in FP what I´m referring, still I will not mind games like Portal that are completely different and unique but so far I haven't see anything like that in this E3.

Metroid, I'll give you. It put a neat little wrinkle on the 2-D platforming map (did some cool stuff when it went 3-D, too) that some games try and emulate to this day. But Bioshock? I disagree. Bioshock is a mediocre shooter with an above average atmosphere.

And this is someone who absolutely loves Bioshock, btw.

I'm not denying it is a FP game. I am denying that it is a FPS game, as FPS really doesn't fit it. It's a FPA with shooter elements.

Just like Ratchet and Clank is a platformer/actions-adventure game with shooter elements and not a third-person shooter.

Oh jontron, you're not alone.

Myself I'm excited for From Soft new IP, that if we follow the leaked gameplay footage that came out some time ago, is another Demon's Souls/Dark Souls Spiritual Succesor.

The Mortal Kombat X gameplay looked great, i would like to get my hands on it.

And oh boy, isn't No man's sky just beautiful. I think it's multiplataform, right?

I give sony a B+, and Microsoft a C+. Pretty good conferences, i'm gonna watch Ea's and Ubi's now, heard they were kinda bad though

Sorry to disagree but the atmosphere of Bioshock 1 is what makes it a great game, it was not Sci-Fi or War genre it was a unique ambient in the middle of the ocean with unique type of architecture (Art Deco, I think is) mixed with horror elements and in a utopia for me it was amazing if you think thats above average I don´t know what to say, about the gameplay please at least it did try to be unique in some ways with the powers and trap like situations so you could explode them add that it was polished good enough that at least it was precise and in no way a mediocre gameplay. You should point other things but not those if you think thats what make the game another ****ty shooter.

No Man's Sky looked like an amazing first person game.
Thanks for remind me of that one, it look that the developer that take the stage was seriously excited and almost in tears (his reactions and how did he talk about his game, make me feel that he has put blood, sweat and tears into it, something I´m not expecting in this type of events that most of them are presented by white collars with only money in their heads).

Ambitious project that if it pulls it successfully probably will get cult status and maybe grow into something bigger, really want to try it out and the art is amazing (Art Direction > Graphics).

What I find amazing is that there are only 4 people working on it.

Can we drop this? I know what you are saying but the core of the gameplay to take down enemies and what you do 75% of the game is shooting them, you can put as many adjectives or different ones to it but still will be a FP with Action and Shooter into the core of the game.

75%? That's a laughable statistic. 75% of the game is exploration, platforming, adventuring, and puzzles, not shooting.

The power went out at my house for a few hours.

The stream is still going on the Gamespot site, oddly.
There's a game called "Destiny., and they just announced a glacier white PS4 bundle.

What went on while I was gone?

Edit: the stream restarted itself, apparently. The conference ended some time ago, I guess.

Like I always say, sometimes the big things comes in small packages. Imagine how much time has taken them to develop something in that level with only four people, by now I think the poor team has eat, sleep, talk, play and breath that game in the last 6+ years (at least I think XD), thats why he can explain it so clearly and with so much passion.

@ mimgrim mimgrim WHY DID YOU NEGLECT TO TELL ME ABOUT BLOODBORNE??
I didn't watch the conference? So I knew nothing about what it was about?

What is it about anyway?

Oh and;

Quick question, are these 3 videos working for anyone else by chance?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDuv3J9JgmE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44RGWcBiSbI
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBZPzPQyGSs

Every time I try to watch them the video will freeze up but you can still hear the sound.

The thing is, other videos seem to work fine for me.

And before you ask, yes I have cleared my cache.
Never mind this. I restarted the compute and it's all fixed now.

You f...ing shoot almost in every room, even most of the doors and some puzzles you need specific weapon to pass it. So you are telling me the exploration, platforming, adventuring and puzzles could not go hand to hand with the shooter genre and because of that is not considered a shooter is laughable and again can we drop this, is like discussing if Smash is a fighting game or a plataform/party competitive game. No one is right, is a personal opinion.

It's From Soft's new game!

From the looks of it (and based on the leaked gameplay footage of it) it is essential Dark Souls with guns and zombies!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

Too bad it's PS4 exclusive...
