E3 is happening once more, and as usual a whole bunch of game trailers are making their way online. Feel free to post and discuss any you come across here.

Mass Effect 4:

It's been unimpressive so far. That Phantom Dust reboot was a shocker, but that doesn't really interest me all that much.

E3 the last couple of years has been somewhat unimpressive.

They're great if you love sequels.

Mass Effect 4, please no.

3 was a huge pile of shit, choices matter my arse.

The choices in ME1-3 were really just fluff. Never trust a AAA publisher. The game itself was quite good and fun.

Good to see this finally get announced:



Wonder if they're actually do anything with it other than just up the texture resolutions.

Looks like a great addition to the Far Cry franchise:

New Batman game Arkham Knight also looking excellent:

No Man's Sky looks pretty awesome (and quite ambitious as well):

"MIRROR'S EDGE 2" is the only thing that's had me excited so far.

And I mean ecstatic. I fucking LOVE the first one.

Mirrors Edge is a game I need to get around to playing one day...

+1

Already bought Entwined looks amazing. The Order and Destiny are going to be incredible. Uncharted 4 teaser gave me a half chub. So many good games coming out.

Batman: Arkham Knight and No Man's Sky look great.

Far Cry 4 looks good, but I have some reservations.

Kojima proves once again that he knows how to put together an excellent trailer.

Alien: Isolation still looks good.

Id showed off a quick Doom teaser. More details to come at Quakecon later this year.

About what? I don't expect it will be any worse than the last two.

My friend summed it up best when I bought it for him the last time I stayed with him: *bluuuurrrrghhhhh*

You get used to it, though. It's first person the likes of which you've never seen.

What sold it for me was how the world, atmosphere, music, and physics all came together to make something really unique. I've never played anything quite like it.

Robot demons eh? Didn't Quake already kinda do that?

I want to believe this will be good, but iD have a pretty ordinary record these days.

Entwined looks pretty, as does The Order, but I haven't seen any gameplay footage from the latter, so would stop short at calling it incredible just yet.

Destiny should be great, Bungie as makes excellent games.

Looks too much like Far Cry 3. I mean I guess my reservations are more for the future of the series than 4 in particular. I don't really 4 will be bad, I just wish they shook up a little more. Like I'd prefer something like the jump from 1 - 2 or 3 to Blood Dragon.


Anyways, what I want from Mirror's Edge 2 is less of a focus on police chases. My favorite parts of the first one were the times when nobody was chasing you and you're trying to solve this puzzle while maintaining your momentum. I don't want them to get rid of them entirely as they are fun, I just want more quiet time than they had in the first one.

What I do want them to get rid of are the (mostly) mandatory fight sequences. I don't want to be told that I have to fight anyone.

I know what you mean completely. Every time I was being chased I felt like I was going to have an aneurysm.

Then again, I think that was part of the appeal. The "puzzle" element just felt like you trying to get from point A to point B. Where's the fun in that?

I also agree with the fighting parts. They made sense to me, but it still felt weird. The boss fights were downright annoying.

Have you tried getting through the game without pulling the trigger? I can't really believe it's possible.

Yeah, but I reached a point that I just couldn't pass without shooting some dudes. I would just die immediately if I tried anything else.

I've got a funny feeling it's the same point I broke down on.
