Everyone knew there would be a lack of games, thats why I havent picked up either system yet. I had a PS3 at launch and I barely touched it, same thing is happening this generation. it always happens with anything new

Thats why for this E3 I'm more intersted in seeing what the 2 systems do to differentiate. I like seeing the PS Vita TV news and the PS network info because thats something that may sell me on the PS4. With the PSV TV, Playstation Now, and PS+ I'm probably going to eventually go with a PS4. The games will eventually come, for both systems

Still not buying either anytime soon though, if I get anything it'll be a Wii U

The original is still one of the best SNES games, the first DS game was actually enjoyable when you got used to the weird controls and assault was fine as long as you were in an Arwing or Landmaster.

You not liking them is not the same as them not being worth playing.
Sure, most games are great if you ignore everything bad about them.

I am so close to buying one. Last weekend I stood in Best Buy and just barely talked myself out of it. I imagine I'll break shortly.

Ah yes, but there is a difference between being "great" and being "worth playing."

I would never call Assault great, it's a 6 or 7 out of ten game at best, but not worth playing? The music and last level alone are worth trying at least once. The first space battle is still awesome too.

You don't like them, and that's fine. But not worth playing? Not quite.

I'm lucky I don't have the money for a Wii U. But I'm dying to get one for Mario Kart and the upcoming games.

Is Nintendo ever going to make an open world Pokemon game for a console? I really can't believe it hasn't happened yet. Something like Ni No Kuni, but with Pokemon.

Nintendo with a huge E3.

They need to work on marketing now, people are still confused at exactly what The Wii U is.

Holy ####, what a bomb! Biggest news for me so far and way after all the press conferences ended.

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2014/...ita/#sf3255743

Final Fantasy Type-0 HD Coming to PS4

I’d like to start this out by thanking everyone who let us know how badly you wanted this game to come to North America. Ever since the original PlayStation Portable release in Japan, you guys have never given up on it, raising your voices in an effort to see this title come to North America and Europe. Well, I’m here to tell you that it’s coming and it’s going to be in HD.

Bloodborne is a 'spiritual successor' to Demon's Souls

http://ca.ign.com/articles/2014/06/1...reens-released

Isn't that what someone was saying was all they needed to see?

Hmmm, I went back to the stream now that I have time to check them out in full but I still can't see what you are referencing about TV from the press conferences this year. Sony had about 4-5 minutes about a program called Powers while Microsoft had a minute mentioning their Halo series Nightfall. I guess you could call it 500% but we're talking about a 90 minute conference in both cases. The Sony segment was certainly pretty damn awkward & boring but I'd have to say that both conferences were essentially all about the games. Thank goodness.

I'm not sure you understand what the Playstation/Vita "TV" actually does; or perhaps you just saw the letters "T" & "V" and assumed it wasn't for gaming? Perhaps poor messaging on the part of Sony if you and other customers have that impression.

I didn't have that impression, I actually thought it was pretty cool. Plus for me E3 is an "entertainment" expo, and being that TV is part of entertainment I don't see the big deal. Or maybe it's that I don't really care all that much what they talk about. Saw some cool games, still waiting to buy a system, nothing really changed here. If I was a stock holder maybe I'd want some more of this or that... otherwise, go on about your day.

Pac-Man joins the right in Smash!



Pretty wild that we can pit Mario, Sonic, Mega Man, and Pac-Man against each other in a 4 player fighting game.

Seems to much MMOish for my liking. If it was a single player game with a local co-op option I would be all over it.

Highlights for me have been AC, Far Cry 4, No Mans Sky and LBP 3. I'm looking forward to Batman the most. Zelda and Star Fox are going to make me buy a Wii U

Edit: I also can't wait to play Hotline Miami 2
