ALL GAMERS, THIS POST IS DEDICATED TO YOUUUUElectronic Entertainment Expo 2009!the largest gaming convention in the world has kicked off!Some games announced this year which I care about:Left4Dead 2
This might just be the worst marketing desicion that Valve has ever made, but whatever. I'm sure Valve fanboys would be more than willing to drool for this one. Personally, I don't look forward to this. It's kinda fail. http://www.l4d.com/whoever thought of bringing those zombies into daylight must be shot in the head (fail game design much?).and seriously, Valve could do with a new graphics engine. The game is just looking visually outdated. The particle effects, such as the fire, all look so bland, lacking strickingness and menace. It's okay, but it's just outdated. The game also no longer takes place at night, and the long threatening shadows that the zombies used to cast when they ran around and navigate the terrain like rabbit-cats are all gone. It's like, all of a sudden, the zombies have lost almost all of their depth.They added cool melee weapons, like the chainsaw. BIG DEAL.____________________________________________________________________________________________Need For Speed: Shift
the need for speed series has taken a downhill crash over the past years with it's two previous titles, Prostreet and Undercover. It crashed hard with Undercover, but EA and Slightly Mad Studios seem be back on track with the series in Need For Speed: Shift.No, seriously. It's looking amazing. Yes, it's a racing simulator. Sure, it's not the Need For Speed with illegal street racing and cops that we know, but what Shift offers us as a racing simulator isn't bad at all. From what I see, this racing simulator has something to offer to everyone -even those who don't appreciate Racing simulation games.it looks amazing. I still have my reservations about how the game will actually turn out to be like when its released, but hey. It's good to know Need For Speed is back.looks intensssse.____________________________________________________________________________________________DiRT 2
yeah, another racing game. Just that, this isn't a racing simulator. It's rally racing! (thus the name DiRT)Nothing much to say, actually. The guys at Codemasters working on DiRT are just so awesome. Codemasters are the king of creating racing games, they did a great job with the original DiRT, and then GRID, and now DiRT2.Other than that, looks fun. We don't know what exactly this game will feature yet, but Codemasters have a reputation for creating racing games that are just so awesome. GRID was awesome, so, i'll be looking forward to this. It looks fun.looks funnnn.____________________________________________________________________________________________Modern Warfare 2
being the direct sequel to the wildly popular Call Of Duty4: Modern Warfare, expectations are high. Just that this time round, the Call Of Duty title has been dropped from the title of the franchise. So, instead of a Call Of Duty6: Modern Warfare 2, we just have Modern Warfare 2.The original Modern Warfare have been given deserving rave reviews of the game, and trust me. Modern Warfare was pure First Person Shooting (FPS) awesomeness. Modern Warfare 2 is going to be a sequel to it, and this game might just be able to live up to the hype.Few games out there manage to deliver on the hype. But this is one, that I believe, does.and finally, here's the first full-fledged trailer for the game. I posted the teaser in my previous post.i'd like to take some time off on why the Call Of Duty title was dropped from the game. The primary reason i'd like to think why Infinity Ward chose to give up on the Call Of Duty franchise is probably because Call Of Duty was meant to be a WWII game. However, Infinity Ward decided to bring the war to the present day with Call Of Duty4: Modern Warfare as people were getting tired of WWII games. With the war taken into the present day, sales skyrocketed and ratings went up. I guess Infinity Ward was clever enough to realize that what really helped them sell their game was Modern Warfare, and not Call Of Duty's WWII-related franchise. Thus, they've dropped the Call Of Duty title. They don't need the Call Of Duty franchise name to sell their game anymore, all they need is "Modern Warfare".____________________________________________________________________________________________Team Fortress 2: Sniper vs Spy update
okay, this wasn't exactly at E3. But still, it's pretty darn awesome, and it came in at quite a time. It's just so awesome. (i've been saying awesome alot in this post huh)and the following, is awesome too. If you haven't watched this, you're missing out!Will pornography starring your mother be the second worst thing that happens to your today?Meet the Spy!LOLI find it weird, how the guys at Valve working on TF2 are so intelligent, while the guys working of L4D are a stark contrast. But then again, L4D isn't exactly created by Valve. It was first started by Turtle Rock Studios (the same studio which created the official expansion pack for Counter-Strike, called Condition Zero), and then when Valve acquired Turtle Rock Studios, it became their project. L4D's AI was created by Turtle Rock Studios first, before Valve bought it from them. Turtle Rock Studio's new AI engine used in L4D was a updated version of the AI which they created for Counter-Strike: Condition Zero. Turtle Rock Studios also were using the newest version of the Source engine for the AI even before Valve acquired them.But then again again, TF2 wasn't exactly started by Valve either. TF2 first started off as a Quake mod, done by a bunch of college guys....____________________________________________________________________________________________Split/Second
oh damn, this game nearly slipped my mind.Yes, yet another racing game lul. I wish need for speed would be more like this, but ah well. This game actually encourages full-frontal contact into falling environmental structures. The last time any racing game encouraged interaction with the environment sucessfully, was Need For Speed Most Wanted'd pursuit breakers. And it was fun, while it lasted.This game offers the same type of fun, just that, here, you try sabotage your fellow racers. Which means, in multiplayer, you get to sabotage your friends by knocking down huge structres against them.how cool can this get?here it is, a trailer they released, claiming it's completely genuine gameplay footage (the previous trailer was cinematic). If this is how the actual game looks like, i'm hyped up!environmental destruction For The Win.
