Unskippable: E3 2010 Trailers

[Canadamus Prime]

Regarding the comment at the end of the credits: I've said it before and I'll say it again, E3 is nothing but hot air and promises. ...empty promises it seems. That is why I never even bother looking at E3.

Also since the only one among these that actually looked somewhat interesting was the one about Troy, I wouldn't be overly upset if we never saw any of these games.

The first thing to pop into my head when I was watching that last trailer was "You Don't Know Mind Jack."

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Mindjack?

By Square AND Feelplus?

Didn't Feelplus do Lost Odyssey with Mistwalker? SOLD.

 

[Caligulove]

all of those trailers looked hilarious- perfect fodder for Unskippable

 

[civver]

That "marketing" comment was funny, among other Mind H/Jack comments.

 

[Graham_LRR]

"No, no, 2031 AD. The AD comes after."

Kinda amusing, but too bad you didn't go for a Zero Wing reference, like: "in AD twenty-thirty-one, war was beginning."

We thought about it, but we just referenced Zero Wing last week with the Hybrid Heaven episode.

 

[Random Wanderer]

Tron looked cool, in a "check out those graphics!" kind of way. Troy was kind of meh, and Mindjack is just laughable. I mean really, what was with that narrator guy? Like something out of an infomercial.

Correct me if I'm wrong but we have 2 games based on movies and another game where the trailer's voice makes me want to tear my ears out and boil them alive?

Please tell me this is not the best the E3 have to offer.

I think Portal 2 is the best news out of E3 this year.

 

[BlueHighwind]

Why did you guys have to pick the three games announced that nobody heard of/cares about? No love for Kingdom Hearts?

 

[orangeapples]

Tron: Where lives hang in the balance when you play Ultimate Frisbee.

At my college, we have Midnight Frisbee as a P.E. class. You can guess what we started thinking of.

anyway, awesome vid. but I think at least Tron will be coming out. ever since it was in Kingdom Hearts 2 there has been a rebirth of interest in Tron.

I don't like the helmets. And there isn't enough glowing. I just hope the MCP still looks like the giant glowing hourglass head thing.

MindJack.. Mindsturbate =)

 

[slipknot4]

Mind Jack... wow, I'm amazed. That has to be the most utterly disappointing failed name ever.
Even Hind Mumpers would be a better pun.

 

[The Random One]

That first one looks like it'll be a great movie... wait, it's a game? Ah, nevermind.

Mindjack does sound like a hilariously bad game. The narrator seemed to be under the impression he was narrating some sort of wrestling match. Not to mention the message 'those people are evil because they can HACK MINDS... are you ready to HACK MINDS to stop them?'

Although I believe AD can be put before or after a year number. It means anno dommini, year of [the domain of] the Lord, so it can mean either 'the year of our Lord of 2031' or 'the 2031st year of our Lord'. Or maybe I'm just talking out of my ass. Anyway, use CY instead, it makes us look more like a fantasy world and it'll make it easier to adapt to the return of magic on 2012.

None of the last year's games came out? Maybe it's the LRR curse, like the Madden curse! If this is confirmed, please do a LRR on the Neuromancer movie if it's directed by Michael Bay.

 

[The Rogue Wolf]

"They told me that my ex-girlfriend was piloting that giant hovering tank, but I didn't Recognizer."

[small]Man, it's a good thing I don't write for this feature, I'd get run out of town.[/small]

And while, yes, I would fear the assmen of Troy (it was bad enough the Spartans ran around naked, jeez), MindHack just looks... horrible. Like a first-wave Playstation 2 game. "Hey, look! It's the future, with random CGI effects and meaningless gunplay!"

Didn't it come to mind that they just pronounce "Mincjack" in Spanish? Doesn't it become "Mindhack"?

Well, if you pronounce it in a terrible Swedish accent, it becomes "Mind Yak". Which couldn't possibly be a worse premise than what was shown in that trailer.

 

[Metaphor]

No quip about how the Mindjack narrator was so upbeat about forbidden powers, conspiracys and an approaching Armageddon? That's worrying.

 

[Something Amyss]

Probably my least favorite in a while, but it had a couple of jokes I really liked, so it wasn't a wash.

What's with the new pop-up style (for lack of a better term) with the videos now? It's irritating.

 

[TwistedEllipses]

Mind Jack?

They couldn't even remember the name of their own game...

...either that or there's already a game called mind hack...

...wait...I get it...the main character is probably called Jack...?

 

[MattAn24]

Man, haven't those guys seen Dr. Who? If you want to avoid being mind-controlled, take OFF the douchey Bluetooth headsets!

Yeah! Have these people never seen Dollhouse!? A mind can be completely wiped REMOTELY. Dollhouse did it before it was cool, therefore, Square Enix? I love most of the games you push out of that company of yours, but really? The game's concept of "being anyone at all ever" sounds cool, but the trailer just doesn't do it justice..

 

[lokiduck]

Great video. How ever I am saddened that a lame video game has taken the name Mind Hacker because in my series there are magic folk called just that XD Except they are taking over peoples bodies XD

 

[Gather]

The first trailer looked interesting...
