Color denotes non franchise/sequel title(Original concept and title)

My personal favorites are Halo 4, Black ops II and my suprise favorite Watch Dogs. All 3 blew me out of the water. And yes, Im the kind of person who appreciates both Halo and CoD as separate entities ZombiU also looked fantastic but I have no intention of buying a WiiU. However, they are starting to make me doubt that. cant wait for their presser tomorrow morning.

Your thoughts?

And those complaining about things not being announced, there are still 3 more days left. There were 4 major pressers today from Microsoft, EA, Ubisoft and Sony. Individual studio announcements will still be coming for the next 3 days

(video links being added as I find them)

Holy shit that started? WHY THE FUCK DID NONE OF YOU TELL ME?

Erm, anyways, right now the only things on your list that I'm really interested in are Sim City, Black Ops II, and Halo 4. If Rock*, however, does not release something about GTA V before E3 ends, I am going to go totally batshit insane and kill someone.

[Sentinel XV]

Dishonored is the only one I am excited for. All of the others (especially the top 5), are simply old ideas rehashed with new names, slightly better graphics, and a few new names. E3 has been degenerating for a while now, and this year's was no exception.

I mean seriously. Usher? Really?

[Norstal]

EA, y u no keep old formulas for SimCity.

[Peddieville]

Sim City looks interesting-always loved that series, and it looks like they learned their lesson with Societies. SC4 was a phenomenal game, and if they can build off of and modernize that, they'll have a winner. AC III should be solid, at least. The setting seems odd, but they can probably pull it off. The original Most Wanted was a great game, but I feel like the Need for Speed series has run its course.

[Olthar]

Wow. That has to be the most uninteresting list of video game titles that I have ever seen. With each passing year, my complete distaste for mainstream gaming grows more and more. Last week, I played a twenty minute Flash game better than I'm sure all of these will be.

From the trailer that I saw, it seems that they haven't given up on city specialization (i.e creating a city with one theme) and they're trying to incorporate elements from Cities XL games.

So, I'm not really sure they learned their lessons yet.

[Noobubersland]

Eh, I just can't shake something about the new Assassins Creed, it just seems like it'll be mediocre

[United Dependencies]

I saw the promo for watch dogs on TV and that looked goooood.

[Garwall]

What, no Company of Heroes 2? I'm pretty sure they were going to start dropping some more information right around E3 time, and considering Company of Heroes was one of the highest heralded RTS games of all time, I think CoH2 deserves some attention.

[Genivaria]

Resident evil and Halo look cool.

[North Calaveras]

Halo 4, Splinter Cell blacklist, Far Cry 3, Crysis 3, medal of honor got me stoked like a fire

[Condunum]

I want Halo 4 more than ever now.

I agree that a lot of things disappointed me. But there were a few new games that have blown me away. Watch Dogs in particular is like Deus ex without robots. It looked sick. Halo 4 also blew me away. I know that I was expecting another halo, but 343 is really making me happy. I like Microsoft moving out of console and making tablets and smart phones part of their system. Its like a PS vita or WiiU that you already own.

Most disappointed with so far while Im sharing this, is RE 6 and Sony so far. RE6 looks like it had a bastard child with modern warfare. Its just sad. And halfway through Sonys conference they have shown nothing that I would spend money on

[Socialist Ecuador]

Crysis 3 looks pretty awesome, and I was actually impressed by BOII. Although Crysis 3 does look a little too similar to the last one. Except, you know, MUTHERFUCKING HUNTING BOWS.

Corrected that for you.

[Brewerburg]

I'm really looking forward to Halo 4.

[The lepearchauns]

Im saddened that there arent more original titles, but the ones I have seen appear to be pretty epic. And the squeals Ive seen look pretty solid. I think Halo 4 could break some records if they keep up. Black ops look good, but I have a feeling that the time jump could either make or destroy the franchise for treyarc

[Astrolinium]

I will not be satisfied unless you can put water above sealevel. This is the one thing that has irked me most that disappeared after SC2K.

Re-corrected that for you.

[North Calaveras]

not buying black ops 2, looks like shit, saving my money

[Norstal]

Crysis 3 looks pretty awesome, and I was actually impressed by BOII. Although Crysis 3 does look a little too similar to the last one. Except, you know, MUTHERFUCKING HUNTING BOWS.

It's like swords in Mass Effect 3.

You know, I'd like to see a morning star in modern combat settings.

[The lepearchauns]

The last of Us...holy F**king mother of god, The last of Us

That tears it. This one game wins E3 despite Sony laying a gigantic egg. it looked badass beyond compare. Uncharted meets I am legend meets grand theft auto. I envy PS3 owners all of a sudden

[Costa Fiero]

And the Forza franchise is thus ruined for future generations.

[Awesomeland]

Nothing. I pay no attention whatsoever to vaporware, lies, and propaganda. None of these products actually exist, and skill in Photoshop and Movie Maker does not make a game. If these people put half as much effort into making games as they did on creating ridiculous flim-flam for the gullible, there would actually be amazing games, instead of this obvious fakery.
