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:

I’m tempted by it not only because of my love for exploration but also childhood passion for westerns, for a moment it even stirred the BIG temptation: “could this be a Oblivion/Fallout substitute?” I think not, because of choices and mandatory missions… and mostly action not dialogue… still, promises to be a must check out… let’s ask our resident GTA expert: Razvan, what’s the review on this one? Does it match up?

Can’t say I’ve really been a fan of the series, possibly ever (i have my doubts about my first one which i found to be an original setting) BUT i must say i’m proud of the game industry producing such moving stuff, in any context!

I’m posting this though I’m not particularly drawn by the game because it is in the direction we hope to see gaming go: it’s human oriented, not technology oriented, it’s about feelings and down to earth, style (i like the light billboard & tree shadows occluding a bit)… it’s about content and creating human emotion, not points or achievements.
