Went through pages of this topic and finally I find a mention of Tomb Raider. I'm just catching some E3 footage right now on G4. What they showed of the game looks amazing, but I'm so cynical of the whole game actually playing that way. I'm so used to games looking so amazing in pre-release form and being less impressive when they hit the shelves. I'm cynical, but hopeful. I enjoyed seeing the smart, strategic ways Lara was taking out her enemies. It's what I've always wanted from TR games, instead of Lara just waltzing into a room, shooting up everyone then using a health pack. I got a real sense of her fighting for her survival here. I think I saw her take a head shot once or twice though, which was disappointing. This is the sort of game where I want to see something like that ACTUALLY KILL YOU!

It's really where I want modern, more realistic games to go. You screw up, you die...or at least get injured. That's just me though. If you want to sell me on a survival game, a realistic one, then that's what I want. My fear is that this game will just become Uncharted 4, with most of the game consisting of mindless gunfights where Lara will soak up bullets like a robot in typical video game form, making the idea of "survival" a joke. Two things I didn't like were the announcement of DLC before the game's release, but that's how games work today. Announcing it for 360 only is a real middle finger to PS 3 owners though.

I also think Resident Evil 6 looks promising. I'm glad to see Leon getting a spotlight.

Disappointed with the South Park trailer, as I don't think we saw any actual gameplay, which makes me just not give a crap. I get that the game is early in development though, so I won't bitch too much

You really should play Robinson's Requiem: Deus.

You don't need an amazing computer and it's not expensive:

I'll try and remember that game. My computer is pretty crappy though :lol:

but I'm hoping for some kind of upgrade soon if I can fit it in my budget, just enough to at least meat minimum requirements for some games. Not that I'm looking to get away from console gaming anytime soon, but it might be nice to at least play one PC game every once in a blue moon if it grabs my interest. Particularly something like Dragon Age, which was kind of unimpressive on console

Wow, just realized that came out in 93, maybe I actually can run it. Thanks for the suggestion

All I know is that right now I'm in severe need of Watch Dogs, The Last of Us and Beyond Two Souls.

Damn...I'm gonna have to buy a PS3. If only my car wasn't up for new plates/inspection.

Just catching up with some trailers on youtube, so far The Last Of Us is AMAZING!
This is the way i was hoping that i'm alive was released (didn't played yet just a few videos and nothing espectacular). Tomb Raider, really cool i hope it dosen't become just another shooter. Resident Evil 6, awesome, haven't played 5 yet (loved 4). GoW... well it's Kraton killing people. The SONY smash, there's is any gameplay? didn't find any. And i'm expecting some gameplay from Nintendo for ZombieU tomorrow. And Dead Space 3, Assasin's Creed 3... haven't played the first game yet, so nothing excited about those. And Watch Dogs, looks awesome, it's that game develop on the famous Unreal Engine 4?

So far, for me, this E3 it's better than last year.

There was a few scenes of gameplay. Watch it again, bearing in mind that the whole game looks like that, and the actual game bits should jump out of you.

There is a trailer separate from their live unveil that has some actual gameplay footage in it

Like I expected: Sony's E3 was boring, but they showed off some interesting games. Looking forward to hearing more about Last of Us, Beyond, and Watchdogs.
