My previous experience with Battlefield (3) goes like this:

Run half a mile, get shot by a sniper, respawn.

Run half a mile, get shot by a sniper, respawn.

Run half a mile, jump into a plane, laugh at the controls, get out.

Run half a mile, get shot by a sniper, trade in game.
You're playing with the wrong people then. My time in Battlefield 2142 went like this:

OFFENSE

Spawn, join Vandyl's squad, run half a mile, get picked up in a fast attack vehicle by Xen. Move into offensive position as our commander, Phukface, drops an artillery strike on a target he wants taken. Rush in with guns blazing and take a defensive position to lay down suppressing fire while Vandyl and Xen take the point. Get shot, return fire, die from incoming platoon of soldiers but get revived almost immediately by Xen and go right back to mowing down hostiles. Worry when the enemy's heavy armor arrives, and then laugh when Scorpion pops it like a zit with his Pilum. Get in our vehicles and go forward or form up as a squad and move out on foot on smaller maps.

DEFENSE

Spawn, join Vandyl's squad, discover that our side sucks and is down to final point. Take up defensive positions with the rest of the squad and hold the point, laying down machine gun fire on incoming hostile infantry and use EMP grenades on incoming heavy armor to make things easier to pop for Scorpion and to cover him while he lays mines. Throw down ammunition so Xen, Scorpion, Vandyl, myself, and Phukface can continue to hold off the enemy offensive until Face can drop an artillery strike on them and the rest of our team respawns to push back against incoming forces. Laugh when Face drops an EMP strike on us, then run out and start shanking people for shits and giggles as the momentum changes and we win the match.

That's quite possible but I didn't have any friends to play with. Basically I spawned in a ways away from the action and never really got there. I assume there were parties of 6-10 people up there coordinating and having a blast. Meanwhile I couldn't even figure out what they were up to because X, Y, or Z would happen before I even ran far enough to get near the fight.

I wonder how this consumerism will look like a couple of decades from now. :|

I was watching the Nintendo TreeHouse and they were showing off Fatal Frame. Man that game looks gnarly. Why wasn't that on the Digital Event?

That guy's voice and delivery is obnoxious. He is also just saying obvious things and explaining hype and marketing. Yes publishers and developers try to make their stuff look good.

I didn't watch any of this, I don't have a superior gaming rig, I barely played Doom 3, yet I want to buy and play Doom 4 just to spite the Twitter/Tumblr idiots.

As much as i love the content that bunnyhop puts on youtube i been following his views on E3 since day one and since all have been very winey, stating the obvious and hamering how consumers are stupid for being hyped.

I know all this stuff, i know they all are big comercials and publicity for their product, i know shenmue 3 kickstarter was a huge and incredible publicity stunt, i know how stupid and gimmicky pieces of plastic with with apps are, i know that watching a 2 second cutscene each time you kill someone with a chainsaw can become boring (then again that was the first freaking trailer showing something close to gameplay). ALL OF THAT IS OBVIOUS IF YOU HAVE A FUNCTIONAL BRAIN! How about you stop telling me how stupid i am for watching all of this and actually give me useful information (to be fair the written blogs where far more informative than this). GOD this was so ANNOYING to watch. You can skeptical and you can be a old grumpy cynical man who dosen't find joy on anything... this video just show the latter.

So anyone know how backwards compatibiiity will affect de-listed products we've purchased?

I'd love to play TMNT Arcade, Simpsons Arcade, and Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 WITH DLC on my Xbox One

Maybe you're not the target audience. Go check out Reddit's gaming subreddit and lots of posts are/were about how awesome FF7 will be, how cool the next Doom will be, etc.

FWIW, I didn't follow E3, but I thought he wasn't grumpy. He was just hitting too close to home to people who do get excited, and that upsets some folks.
