Phew. Another day of E3 2012, done and dusted. Another day of too much damn video game news. I feel like a chaser, help me wash it all down. How about you?
Most of what we’ve seen of Bethesda’s Dishonored thus far has been in the form of trailers. If you’d prefer to see someone actually playing the game, check out the clip above. Just…you might want to mute. The commentary grates almost instantly. Hardly ideal, I know, but “hardly ideal” should be the motto of E3.
Using a Final Fantasy motif as a showcase, Square Enix has revealed at E3 its Luminous Engine, which it describes as being for “next generation quality games”. The next generation of consoles may not be at this show, but their graphics certainly are. Everything you see in this video – dubbed Agni’s Philosophy – and…
Lifestyle photography. The art of making models look like they’re actually using a product, and are either enjoying it or at least doing it properly. Some call it a lost art. I call it one impossible to master. But bless companies for trying, because were it not for that, then we wouldn’t have comic relief…
Crytek’s vision of a New York jungle is sadly not the same as the Wu-Tang Clan’s. Once I’m over the disappointment of that fact, I’ll probably be ready to enjoy all those lovely green trees a little more.
Not a real thing, sadly, but reader Kert thought it could/should be. Seeing the look on this guy’s face, I can’t help but agree.
The first proper day of E3 was today, as it was the day the LA Convention Centre threw open its doors and greeted tens of thousands of industry and media types, all rushing to get their hands on some of the latest games. Here’s some wonderful pictures summing up the day’s events, from Nintendo’s big…
Mortal Kombat developers NetherRealm Studios are currently working on a DC Comics fighting game called Injustice Here’s a ton of new gameplay footage, featuring superhero fisticuffs, impromptu building demolitions and an exploding cake.
We saw a pretty muddy clip yesterday, but today Lucasarts has released official media for its upcoming Star Wars title 1313. And, yeah, at least visually, the thing looks great I’m not sure the world, let alone this E3, needs another third-person, cover-based shooter, but just seeing the “classic” Star Wars universe make a video…
Just joining us? Have a paralysing fear of tracking down news individually? You’re in luck. Here’s all of today’s Nintendo news from the company’s E3 press conference in the one place. Handy. We’re Liveblogging Nintendo’s E3 Press Conference Right Here Pikmin 3 Confirmed as Wii U Title Nintendo’s Wii U Will Support Two GamePads Hallelujah!…
Earlier this week, Nintendo showed off a new Pro Controller that’s designed to be used when playing titles that are ported from other systems, and not necessarily designed with the Wii U’s unique capabilities in mind. The first model shown was in black, but you know, since the console is also sold in white the…
In rather vague, unspecified ways, Ubisoft’s crowd-stopping Watch Dogs will make use of Microsoft’s new SmartGlass tech. Interesting. [CVG]
Here’s some E3 buzzkill for you: it seems the battery in Nintendo’s Wii U control pad only lasts for 3-5 hours. That’s…wow. That’s less than a lot of you would spend during a serious session with a game. This is going to be a problem given the nature of the controller; it’s one thing to…
The highlight of today’s E3, for me at least, was seeing Nintendo legend Shigeru Miyamoto take the stage at the company’s press conference and finally take the wraps off Pikmin 3 The reveal itself was welcome, but what I really liked about it was seeing the dude go crazy with it. For many people, his…
Final Fantasy XIV’s launch was so terrible that Square Enix had to pull the game and promise to not bring it back until it was fixed. I don’t know if their gameplay tweaks have had any effect, but I do know the game is at least looking a lot nicer. Stay tuned later tonight for…
Earlier today, pranksters tried to pass this video off as official. Something Nintendo would actually be showing at its E3 press conference. It didn’t, of course, because it’s fake, but just because it’s fake doesn’t mean it’s not terrific
Portal 2 on the PS3 is getting Move support and some “new” levels. It’s also playable at Sony’s E3 booth, so we popped on over to take a look, see how the Move actually worked with the game.
Just in case you thought it was a bad (or good!) dream, here’s a trailer to remind you that, yes, Pokémon Conquest – otherwise known as Pokémon + Nobunaga’s Ambition – is inexplicably seeing a Western release
Tokyo Jungle, Sony Japan’s game about post-apocalyptic fighting animals in a devastated Tokyo metropolis, may seem like the most Japanese thing ever. And it is. That’s not stopping the game from coming to Western PS3 consoles, though. While the game was originally revealed for European PS3s all the way back in 2010, the resulting silence…
It wouldn’t be a Wii launch without a Rabbids game. And so here we have the trailer for Rabbids Land. Has the charm worn off these once-quirky Ubisoft mascots? I’d say the charm worn off long ago. Sorry, little guys.
