@ SNKP's latest Social game (I know, it's Japan only, but it made me laugh a bit)...

Although, Angel and May Lee gets attention this time.

(Now I wanna see a new May Lee (new voice and all) in XIV, I hope)

What's been the news about E3 that has piqued your interest?

For me, it's Watch Dogs.

[Apathy Wind]

Watch Dogs did look pretty awesome. I'm not sure how open it'll be in terms of gameplay but the trailer looked incredible.

I thought the Wii U looked really stupid (ie. it's ridiculous Arkham City 'enhancements') but the trailer for ZombiU actually shows that the system's concept has some potential. Using the pad (tablet? Wiipad?? I dunno...) to scan for enemies, manage inventory, snipe, and hack doors all while the actual game continues on your TV screen (thus leaving you open to attacks) is pretty clever IMO. Plus the game's Dark Souls influences seem pretty neat (if your character dies they stay dead - you respawn as someone else and have to find/kill your now zombified prior character to get your gear back).

And after enjoying the PS3 Mortal Kombat demo I'm kinda interested in Netherrealms DC fighter (although I can't figure out why the characters are all wearing some kind of armor). Hopefully it will have the same juggle friendly mechanics without MK's.... Mortal Kombatness.

Stuff that piqued my interest at E3:
- Watch Dogs
- The Last of Us
- NFS Most Wanted
- Assassin's Creed III
- Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
- Project P-100

Beyond looked nice graphically but since it's a David Cage game I'm sure it'll be nothing but QTEs that are unrelated to the events on screen.

If the new Most Wanted is like the old Most Wanted, do want.

Injustice seems like it could be interesting..as long as it isn't anywhere near the realm of MKvDC. It has grand potential. We'll see if they deliver on it.

Last of Us = Naughty Dog = Instabuy

That Chinese KOF clone lots like it plays pretty good, all things considered.

...is that the Garou belltower stage?

Live and learn.

[Dark_Chaotix]

Can someone tell me if this is a traditional fighting game or like a adventure type?

[SonicTempest]

It's being made by CyberConnect2 so it's probably similar to one of those Naruto fighting games?

New news on Sony Smash Bros:

http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2012/jul/ ... le-royale/

That's....interesting.

For those who wanted to know more about Injustice, but were afraid to ask.

Although I'm not a graphics whore, those fighter animations look awkward. The DLC will be rampant with this, I'm sure with all dem potential costumes.There's also some concept art running around of Green Lantern and....

AQUAMAN.(Never forget SaiFAIL.)

The plot thickens.

If they add Nightwing and Raven(though highly unlikely), I might consider playing.
