E3 2010 – found it boring
0Yep, just saw all the vids… i must say i was totally unmoved. I mean the Sony & MS presentations were sleak, and the Nintendo one did contain that 3ds thingie… but… well, i didn’t see any games that would really tempt me, it feels like the whole market is in consolidation mode, sequels and predictable stuff, no price wars… games with choices? NOPE. It’s sad that not even 2011 might bring a new game that i could dig into (haven’t played in a long time, partly life, but partly i didn’t feel any games worth my time, ones with immersion). A new medieval immersive environment like Oblivion or like VTM Bloodlines… but these days it’s all online and coop and mmo focused so…
Of course these are my personal views… Watched Bonus round and people were psyched about the Nintendo presentation… i just scrolled through it… they called it hardcore gamer stuff even… it felt retro nostalgia stuff to me… ppl. go figure. (yes, talking about me too :P )
In case googling doesn’t bring up the results as fast as it did for me here’s teh big 3 conferences:

Silent Hill 8 – a surprising concept

Okay, i gotta say i’m quite impressed… I mean for years i’ve played Silent Hill games and i’ve gotten a bit imune to them, bored even… and i didn’t really think they could make it fresh anymore… this does it for me. Not only do i not know of any fugitive game… okay, it’s probably not gonna be a fugitive game, but it starts with that vibe, and it feels like just teh right person to end up in silent hill for many reasons… and yet at the same time I can relate to his reasons for getting there, wanting his freedom… exciting.
