As a piece of trivia, Halo CE is responsible for my username here.

I hope Forza Horizons is everything NFS should have been...

Really no love for Watch Dogs? That looked stellar. The Last of Us gameplay looked awesome as well. I'm also intrigued by Beyond.

Assassins Creed 3's naval warfare looks like a nice break from their norm. I'm interested to see more of Dead Space 3 as well, but it looks like they might be ditching the horror.

That just looks like Tokyo Extreme racer and Kaido Battle combined. You get legit races during the day (Kaido battle style) then cruise the streets at night and flash high beams to race. (Tokyo extreme racer style)

I had Tokyo Xtreme for the Dreamcast. I LOVED that game!! And I loved the blatant ripoff cars!

ok Watch Dogs and Last of Us is going on my impressed list.

Watch Dogs looks like a fantastic concept...while being incredibly creepy as a guy who listens to locals and is haxors.

The Last of Us to me took the show today. Maping and textures are fucking brilliant, and the concept and game physics looks outstanding.

I was also screaming at the TV today during the Sony Press Conference when they unveiled additional connectivity to the PS3 using Vita making Sony officially a 2nd screen platform. Which totally FUCKS Wii-U in the mouth trying to be a a 2nd screen exclusive platform. Nintendo has to have some perks to beat Sony at that race, and Sony has to provide the titles and the network stability for it to stay a strong element. Why is sony beating Wii-U now? because its two separate gaming devices ...vs 1 gaming device.

I don't like that Forza Horizons its only set in Colorado, and that your race career revolves around a music festival. The only element making this game a mentionable is the social racer experience. Which all racing games lack, even NFS online and GT5.

If Tokyo Extreme Racer was on a global level using real highways around the world, and the artificial NPC racer profiles and teams were actually real on a massive online network. That would be the most GODLY Social Racer game that would require no sequel.

Maybe we'll finally see some half life 3 at E3 this year!

I'm much looking forward to AC3. The new engine looks great, and finally you can climb trees and go through windows! (Well at least some of them).

The end of the video showed only the console boxes though. Caused me to freak out a bit and sent me off on a Googlehunt to verify the PC version would e there!

- I can't say that I was never intrigued but my interest in the Wii has slowly declined. Except now that the Wii U is getting closer to be released and seeing some of the extra accessories has opened me up to actually consider on buying one, if the price is right. I don't have much to say about the Vita. I don't see the point to have one. But I'm waiting to see what else Sony has up there sleeves and of course Microsoft too.

So after the Nintendo Press conference, Nintendo still has a great hardware lead on its second screen player market over Sony Pair Platform PS3+Vita.

The Wii-U remote is essentially the perfect concept for dynamic complex gameplay. As seen on Zombi-U which i think is a fucking solid title

Titles that could potentially use the Wii-U pad fully is, Trauma Team, JPRGs (returning Hard Square-Enix titles to Nintendo will boost Console Sales), GTA, Racing Games Both Social and Pro (TXR would benefit greatly with the asymetrical game mechanics), Cinematic Game Titles (like Asuras Wrath), and RTS games.

hardcore/competitive 3rd person shooters will faulter still in this platform. As well as action/adventure games which focus on exploration and going from A-B.
