Credit to Gameguru.in for that one.
And so, day two of this truly underwhelming E3 experience is nearing a close. So, what do we have to show for it...? Well, not much that we weren't already expecting, which was the theme yesterday, for those who remember. There were some HOT GRAFIX (see above) , of course, as is expected of any E3.
The good folks at Kotaku had a chance to try out Mass Effect, probably one of my most anticipated titles this year. You can read that here.
Personally, I didn't even need to be told any of that. Its sheer level of awesome, as you can see for yourself speaks volumes. Moon. Buggies. That's all I need to say. Mass Effect is part of what I like to call the 360 triumvirate of awesome RPGs; that, Blue Dragon, and Eternal Sonata. I'd include Lost Odyssey, but that won't be out this year, I weep to say...so I'll just let it slide. RPGs on 360s? Soon my precious. August soon.
Also, for those interested, apparently Crysis isn't just sweet, sweet eye candy. Now, those of us who are all burned out the sometimes relentless hype machine that is the video game industry will remember the rules: Until it's out, it's still all hype. I'm still wondering when we'll see an FPS that DOESN'T involve a guy in a futuristic suit of power armor. Doesn't look like we'll see that this year, but at least WWII shooters seem to be dying out, thank CTHULU.
On a non-gameplay footage related note, apparently veteran game designer Hideo Kojima claims that MGS4 won't only be end to Metal Gear Solid, but to his career. Yep. He claims to be retiring again. Says Gameguru;
"He also announced his retirement, which he has done many times before, but this time it seems serious."
Hilariously, I couldn't find a link talking about this on any of the big news sites. I suspect they just laughed it off, as this makes at least three times now.
Personally, I say Chewie did it. That bastard was up to no good at the Sony press conference, I tell you.
Still, it's good to see that some people won't be retiring anytime soon. I suspect we'll be seeing more Nintendo Yoga simulators for years to come.
