Zero Punctuation: The Second Annual E3 Hype Massacre

[Zydrate]

Alan Wake looks kind of good, actually. Kind of like how "Alone in the dark" should have been.

Surprised he didn't mention Heavy Rain and it's possibility to debunk the "Press X to not die" stereotype.

E3..was pretty disappointing this year T_T

because heavy rain isn't coming out til 2010 -____-

 

[Mirroga]

The "good" games come out in 2010. God of War 3 and Heavy Rain might cater to Yahtzee's liking.

 

[Strategia]

My new favourite ZP. =D

 

[Ertis]

I'm pumped for AC2, wasn't expecting something futuristic.

 

[Captiosus]

Yes I've actually met a few of these pessimists and let me say that they should get over it! Correct me if I'm wrong but is Dead or Alive Extreme Beach Volley Ball the only game Team Ninja ever made? No? That's what I thought. It seems people are forgetting about the newer Ninja Gaiden games which aren't perfect but awesome enough, thank you very much.

Have you seen the videos for Metroid: Other M?
Samus, assuming that's who it is and not some oddball plot twist, looks like every other DOA/Ninja Gaiden female model with big jubblies and short hair in a Zero Suit. That's certainly not the Samus Aran I remember, not even close to the official Nintendo Zero Suit Samus. The gameplay looks outright stupid and frustrating with the varying camera angles and it looks like it's just going to be yet another generic space shooter plot line. WOO-freaking-HOO.

I can't believe people defend that crap instead of seeing the obvious: Nintendo can't even develop their own first person IPs anymore without a co-dev (and a co-dev that made all their bank making sexually charged and/or bloody M-Rated games, at that - great for Nintendo's "family" image, no doubt)...

 

[josukex]

the only real thing that E3 got me hyped about was the new No More Heroes 2 trailer. other then that it was more of oh that kind of nice stream of announce

 

[Kiutu]

Ico and Shadow of the Colossus are of the same lore. Just putting that out there.

 

[The-Sentinel]

definitely a top-notch ZP, I'm glad I have no hope in future games

 

[SomeBritishDude]

Wow...Bets that Yahtzee hangs himself before the year is out? Seriously, the guy is depressed.

 

[lijenstina]

Good anticipation of times to come.

The World is shite.

Have YOU seen them? ZS samus was in it... as she appeared in Brawl too. And you have no IDEA how it plays, you're not so much jumping gun's as leaping canon's. And Nintendo have been co-developing for ages, F-Zero GX, Starfox Adventures/Assault, Donkey Kong Country, WarioWorld, Sin and Punishment, where the hell have you been for the past 10 years? And the 'family image' is exactly what they're avoiding with Metroid Other M, in fact the whole Metroid series. And Samus looks nothing like the DOA girls, use your bloody eyes next time!

RAGE QUIT!

Best one in a long time. I laughed all the way through. Five shit stars!

The Second Annual E3 Hype Massacre

This week, Zero Punctuation shares some thoughts on games hyped at e3 2009.

Watch Video

It's been awhile since ZP has given me a good laugh. XD

On a side note...Yahtzee sounds a bit like a Murloc.

 

[Captain12345]

The Final Fantasy one and the credits made me laugh harder than I have in ages. Thank you Yahtzee.

 

[MarcusMang]

Don't you people realise that Yahtzee is just a character. He is not serious 100% of the time. STOP AGREEING WITH EVERYTHING THIS GUY SAYS LIKE BLIND SHEEP WITH BRAIN CANCER! *brain explodes due to high blood pressure obtained from reading these forums*

 

[aciid_raiin]

ive always wanted to go to E3, but not anymore.. thanks Yahtzee for opening my eyes

well... DUH. Except his comedy is making points that a lot of people are frustrated about so they enjoy agreeing with it. The games industry is a big corporate polished turd, people are pissed and the companies have no idea what to do except make more shitty sequels

 

[Yahtzee Croshaw]

meh...
not too funny overall for me, sorry. Probably because he tried to hard to fit everything in there and hate on everything at once. Some of the things were funny, though, so thanks, I guess.
