Title: Tu's E3 Thread
Post by: tu_holmes on June 12, 2013, 09:09:37 AM
So I thought I would post some photos I took at E3 yesterday... Chime in if you are so inclined.

Place is always packed on the first day... Ridiculous lines at Watchdog and The District.

Watchdog should win best game with Battlefield 4 best FPS... I personally think it shits on COD this year. Command and Conquer (which was done here in my Studio looks really great and will compete with League of Legends for sure.

I will definitely answer all questions once I've loaded up the pictures, so please be patient.  8)

Anyway... On to some pictures.


Here is backstage at the EA E3 Press Event. This was the 32v32 Battlefield 4 Life Demo which is actually playable in 32v32 mode on the show floor.

As I have an exhibitor badge... I get in before everyone else to prep.

This is everyone waiting to roll into the South Hall before the doors open to the show.

The Titanfall Logo from Respawn (Looked very sweet).. I can't show photos because it was a BCD (Behind Closed Doors) game... No pictures allowed.

This is the Battlefield 4 Multiplayer area 32v32 (Plus a commander mode on each side)

Someone asked about booth babes.

To be honest, the hoest booth babes were with Nvidia, although no next gen consoles are using their graphics and our own BF4 demo was all ATI and AMD... Looks like we know who REALLY won the console wars... The people who put out the cards for them all.

(http://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/10591_10151467852387584_1978172175_n.jpg)

Thanks for posting this TU.  Titanfall could be amazing.

Titanfall will most assuredly kick ass. It looks and plays amazingly.

I was very very impressed with what the ReSpawn guys did over there.

Tu, is there going to be any difference between watchdogs on current gen and ps4/xbone?same with 2k14 nba, any difference?

There is... You will notice a very large difference on graphics in Watchdogs... the 2K14 NBA didn't look THAT much different to be honest, but then neither did our Madden or what have you... at least not that I noticed.

Now, what I will say is that you are going to see some amazing things you can do with the Next Gen consoles... For instance, During playing some open world games, you will see that where you would normall have a loading screen or something, it just doesn't exist... Open worlds are seamless and that really makes it a lot more fun.

None of that "jump" going from one section of a map to the next either.

Some games will benefit immensely... Assassin's Creed for instance... Watchdogs... The District.

Our own BF4 looks SO MUCH better on next gen.

Sports titles will look a lot better next year I believe. 2nd go around always seems to see a big improvement on graphics for some reason with sports.

There is a Diablo III expansion on it's way.

Disney's infinity looked very very interesting... They basically took a bunch of different types of games and stuffed it into one title.

Huge world... You have puzzles, fighters, insane goofyness... 3rd person shooters all with the Disney / Pixar vibe. I can see many many hours of play in this.

DC universe Online has apparently started making some bank with the "free to play" model and they have another expansion in the works.

(http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/1603_10151467859157584_1484715297_n.jpg)

They also have a new game coming called "Infinite Crisis". It looked like DC universe meets League of Legends... Yes I will be playing this shit.

I didn't catch a photo of it, but I snagged this one courtesy of MMOHUTS.com

People said that Nintendo wasn't coming to E3 this year and that they were doing their "own thing". Those people are some lying mother fuckers.

Nintendo just decided not to hold their own press conference at E3 this year, that's all.

(http://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/954840_10151467859402584_2006466060_n.jpg)

They had a pretty huge booth actually. Lots of Wii U stuff... The 3DS is of course their big seller (I really should get one... No one cares about the Vita.) Zelda the Wind Waker HD remix for Wii U... A new Donkey Kong Country. I wonder if the Wii U will see a price drop for Christmas... Might be a good time to pick one up for less.

Battlefield 4 was demoed on the Xbox One. They also had Forza and a ton of BCD stuff that you can't photograph.

Oddly enough, the line for "Rome" wasn't that big considering the hype... I think it's going to end up a fail already... We shall see.

Lots of people trying to get their hands on the Xbox One and see what it can do... I personally don't care about "Glass" or any of the other stuff and I REALLY hate that you have to pay 10 bucks a month for Xbox Live Gold just to use your netflix account that you already have... That's 120 bucks a year to watch shit you already pay for?!?!?!?!


Lots of people hanging out...

This booth was ridiculous!! 1/3 larger than Microsoft and packed EVERYWHERE... No doubt that Sony was the big winner. Their DRM announcement, the fact that PSN Plus is only 5 bucks a month... Their exclusives... Yeah... This year Sony stole a lot of thunder.

That said, I still claim AMD as the real winner because everyone is using ATI as their video... When you are getting a sale of ANY console... you're doing ok.

As a little side bonus, I stopped off at "Into The Pixel"... Some history.

Every year, Into The Pixel looks at all Artwork that is done for gaming... Whether it's pre-production, in game, post work, whatever... They pick the best and then put it on display for the world... It goes into a book and is basically put into the Into The Pixel Museum.

It's pretty cool.

This piece was done right here at my studio in LA.

Best is very relative to be honest.

For me, I like the PS4... But I'm looking at cost, what I use it for, what I want my console to do/have etc.

I look at the whole picture.

If you're talking raw power... Then it's so damn close you can't tell the difference... The PS4 is "slightly" more powerful, but that doesn't always mean anything. The Xbox is basically a Virtual Box running a windows 8 kernel and a proprietary OS that will allow for a second App to run in a window while playing a game. The Windows OS allows for Devs to easily work on a PC... do their thing and then port it to the Xbox One with very little issue. It really allows Devs to focus on some things that they otherwise couldn't because of taking the time to get the port working. It really does save on Dev costs as well... You don't have to buy a bunch of Xbox Durango Dev kits.

These time wastes can all factor into the game look and feel. Part of why "exclusives" are usually so good is because they only have to focus on the single platform... There's not time wasted on porting and multiplatform development.

I feel the PS4 is the way to go personally, but that's just me.

That guy is such a smarmy smartass I wonder why they have him out front talking to anyone.  I have never seen a backlash as big as the one Microsoft has created and anyone who thinks their sales aren`t going to be impacted are fooling themselves.

TU, is that the feeling you kind of got at E3 as well and in general from people?

Yes, absolutely... It was easy to see how much busier the Sony booth was and I truly can only interpret that as a sign that people liked the way Sony wanted to do business.

The pictures speak for themselves... Yes, the MS booth was busy... It's the year of the new console, so it's expected, but the Sony booth was 33% larger and literally wall to wall people. You were running into people non-stop.

There are many people in the country who do not have high speed internet access still.

The US is a very large place and I'd say about 40% (rough estimate) of the US doesn't have access to DSL / Cable / Fios. They can get Satellite, but Satellite internet prices are insanely retarded.

But I also agree with Tu that gamers can be finicky, and it could possibly add up, but I'm not sure at this point.   I don't see what Sony has done that's very groundbreaking or different.

We're in the same boat.  I loved my PS2, but was given an XBox by a co worker.  End up watching baseball games while being on Live! with my brother who lived cross country.  It was like he was there.

Then, kids, and lots of multiplayer interaction.  Most of these guys are hardcore gamers - they mod/import games from Japan/ know all the industry stuff, and they will get all the consoles.  But they mutli on Xbox, so that's where I am.

I don't know why, but if you make a Zelda, Metroid, Mario, some Luigi thing, and a Super Smash Brothers. The console will end up selling.

Actually. If they maintain the virtual machine portion it doesn't matter what the architecture is. If you can emulate an old machine it doesn't really matter what the underlying hardware truly is.

Then again. That's what they have to build. Different VMs for different console models.

Maybe.

Maybe courage to stand out and put gaming feel at it's core in front of specs and visuals and a keen understanding of what todays kids and grown up kids want? ;)

And a cheaper price tag right.
