Zero Punctuation: The Second Annual E3 Hype Massacre

[Tonimata]

NINTENDOOOOOUUUUU!!

Honestly, the only game I'm holding out for here is AC2, and I can well understand how Yahtzee came to think AC2 would've been set in the future.

Prototype *strangled noise*

That said, Prototype is a great game, and he's sure to review it. Sooner or later?

Great video. Loved the Sonic the Hedgehog line.

And I too am extremely surprised at no Scribblenauts mention. I bet it's because that game is going to rock with all due hardness, and the hype actually seems justified?

 

[Lord_Seth]

This was a pretty good one. I laughed fairly hard.

Still, I don't think the question is "Why does Sonic need to exist?" and I think it should be "Why does Sonic Team need to exist?" Honestly, if a more competent developer was put in charge of the franchise, I really think Sonic could be good again.

 

[WolfmanNougat]

I dunno if anyone else mentioned this...but why did Yahtzee not mention Metroid: Other M?
Yanno the big reveal of Nintendo so we could love them again?

Yes, some have mentioned it, but I don't think many people are too enthusiastic about it. I've even heard in a few places people being pessimistic about it just for being co-developed by Team Ninja, "you know, the guys behind Dead Or Alive Extreme," which I wouldn't be surprised to find is Yahtzee's view of it.

Personally I felt like he couldn't decide what to wail on this week so yeah... I do agree that it seemed a bit rushed :\ Still, even with the semi-stupid names, both major releases that came out last week (those being [Prototype] and Red Faction: Guerrilla) seem to be right up his alley in terms of mass panic and destruction with no moral repercussions to worry about ^-^

Spoiler: But seriously, people...

Personally, I'm getting sick of this parkour fad that seems to be running around in some games lately >.> Not only because most of what's done in games that claim to have it is exaggerated to the point of being laughable, but in the case of [Prototype], it makes movement kinda sketchy on account that, while sprinting, its next to impossible to stop on a dime. This makes quite a few of the challenges even worse simply because of that. Oh, and forget about playing while your controller is charging, as the game apparently forgets about control period after so long and continues doing whatever you were doing forever until you unplug the damn thing for no apparent reason... I'm not sure about RF:G yet, as I haven't played it, but I at least like the idea of destroying every single building in sight and mind

Quite frankly, I'm waiting mostly on Brutal Legend and R&CF: A Crack In Time, being a fan of Tim Shaffer and Insomniac's furry defender of the multi-verse. And I bought Cross Edge recently to fix the deep RPG gap on my PS3... >.> stop laughing D<

As for the strangulated noise, what the hell O.O Sounded like a drowning cat...

you can blame ubisoft for that

 

[Spacelord]

Yes, I think Yahtzee summarised the E3 line-up best with "GGRAALRRRLGGAAARRGGLGLGLGLGLRRRRPRRRRFFFTTTTT"

 

[lilnorris64]

er ye he got the metal gear rising thing wrong its not out for ps3 its and x box exclusive

actually its for 360, ps3 and pc

 

[lilnorris64]

Does anyone here actually care for E3?

yes. lots of people

 

[Senor Smoke21]

This was the first one to bring tears on laughter to my eyes for ages.
Brilliant =D

 

[Chadling]

Yahtzee, you prescient prick, thank you for summing up my reaction to E3. Almost all of the hyped games looked like shit. On another forum, when everyone was going googly-eyed over Project Natal, I was the first to comment: "yeah, but will it be fun?"

 

[MrLumber]

I honestly would have preferred a review, maybe of Prototype (If it released down there), or Red Faction. I don't mean to be sour, I thought it was and I agree with what your saying, but I already knew all of that. I would have at least have liked to have seen what your actually looking forward to, and possibly to have seen a couple shooters get shot down.

O goodness a pun.

 

[wolfshrimp]

People = Shit

That pretty much sums up the people that go to E3

Mate that sums up the WORLD

 

[Spleenbag]

From what I've seen of Milo, it looks as if Molyneux is determined to go past the Uncanny Valley. Interesting...

 

[dalek sec]

Best part was the throat noise he made for summing up the next FF game, pretty much sums up how I feel about the next one as well.

 

[TheGreenManalishi]

It certainly does look like NAY-TAL

 

[minarri]

Seemed a bit rushed but otherwise this week's review was pretty amusing. End-credit strangled noises, I've discovered, are really creepy but kind of funny.
