Bloodborne for the PS4 is something I'm interested in. No Man's Sky as well, though, their goal is really ambitious for such a small team. Beyond that, not many things stood out.
I did get into the Destiny Alpha and I am a bit impressed, but I'll really have to get into some more to see if it'll hold my attention.

Bloodborne looked ok, but it didn't really have that "wow" factor, it was just "oh that's neat", at best
Destiny looked about shoddy tbh, not to say graphics are the be-all-and-end-all, but aren't we meant to be on next gen now, not the first year or two of the previous gen? Either way, how does it play so far?

If it's like Demon Souls/Dark Souls (which everything suggests it will be) then I'm on board.
The graphics are pretty decent (this is on PS4), but not mind-blowing. The shooting is pretty standard. If you've played one FPS, you've played them all. It definitely has a Halo feel to it. The RPG elements are done well. You get lots of options and customization.

I've not spoke to anyone that doesn't like Demon/Dark Souls, they are fantastic games. If it is anything like that it will be good, however it didn't look as though it played like them much

I did not watch many videos from E3 at all. Nintendo had a lot of offerings that got me excited. Zelda, smash brothers, yoshi. I am looking forward to all of these releases.
The other systems and developers releases are becoming stale to me. Assassins creed and Farcry have been done. Same for battlefield and call of duty.

I don't understand this, games from Nintendo that have already been released countless times before = good, for anyone else = bad?
I tend to skip Nintendo completely as you can tell what will happen before they even get out in stage: Mario, Luigi, Zelda, Smash Bro, Metroid, Pokémon, all pushed on a mistake of a console. It will always be the same in one guise or another, they haven't had an actual new IP in so long

Far Cry 4 looks impressive, although it bears many similarities to FC3 in terms of the gameplay/engine. The jump wasn't as big as it was from FC2 to 3 (or even from the first to the second).
The location looks awesome though, can't wait to see how they've modelled North India/Nepal/Bhutan in its entirety.
Also glad to hear GTA5's arrival to PC, I believe it is the longest gap in any GTA game to go from console (release) to the PC platform.

I see I left it out of my original post. The last gen or two I only played Xbox PC and playstation. After getting tired of those systems I find Nintendo refreshing again.
Also I can tolerate a lot of their ips being similar. Maybe it's just how I want my platformers to play but they can do minor changes and keep me happy. Larger action games need to change more to keep me into it.
It has a lot to do with how I feel about games in general. A lot of emphasis on graphics, violence, and elaborate controls and gameplay. At this time I like the simple time tested gameplay that Mario can offer.

Seems Nintendo just recycles the same game concept over and over again and people just lap it up like crazy. I don't get it myself. My girlfriend is a Nintendo nut and loves their platforms and games. I just don't really get it. Subpar hardware running reiterations of the same game series and gameplay mechanics for the most part.
But hell yes, GTA V on PC.

Haha. Because GTA hasn't been the exact same game since GTA 3.
Nintendo's first party games are always great and never feel like a rehash of the previous games in the franchise.
Arkham Knight of course!

That was my thought. Not much of anything has changed in GTA aside from graphics. Most series remain very similar between releases. I guess its just picking which one you are willing to support. I am not sure why nintendo is the one that gets knocked so much for it.
Mario Party has been and will always be one of my favorite party games!
Not really? Even between 4 and 5 there's a huge difference in the scope and cinematic quality in the missions. In GTA IV it was a lot of, drive around, kill this guy. Not to say it was bad but it wasn't nearly the same as 5. In 5 it's jump this dirt bike on to a train, hijack the train, drive it in to another train on a bridge launching it in to the water, steal from the train, then be pursued down a river with waterfalls in a boat by helicopters, boats, and jeeps, all manned by a pissed off militia that wants whatever you just stole. That was the last mission I just played.
And with Nintendo I guess more what I mean is that their consoles are pretty restricted to their own titles and don't have a lot of outside devs coming in with different kinds of games. PC, Xbone, and PS4 all share similar games with some exclusives, but the WiiU is almost entirely exclusives. That's more what I mean I guess. And yeah a lot of the exclusives are just rehashes of old series, which isn't inherently bad, but it seems to lack much variety.

Looking forward to GTA V PC...It looks great on the PS3 so i can only immagine its going to be ALOT better in PC..Especially view distance etc and the new Weather effects they talk of.
FC4..anyone know if we get a Map Editor/creator with it like the previus 2?
Really enjoy making my own maps in the FC3 engine.
Star Wars Battlefront also looks awesome!!!!!

Because despite the re-releases and sequels, there were more new IP's from any one of the other devs in this year's E3 than there has been for all of Nintendo's combined.
Because even though you could argue that the re-releases and sequels from other devs are too similar to the last game, it will never be as bad as Zelda, where all of the games are just Ocarina of Time with updated graphics.
Because they try too hard to polish a turd? The absolute best thing they could do now is to realise that in the bigger picture, the WiiU is a failure since nobody but them develops games for it, nobody is excited for any single release and they have nothing in the pipeline to make people insterested.
Half of the issue is because they re-release the same old crap repeatedly. If they released a proper console (Not the jack of all trades, master of naff all that the Xbone or PS4 is, but a device designed to play games), without the gimmicks and went back to basics, like a Gamecube or N64 2.0, with new, fresh IP's, they would destroy the market now, because you are right, Microsoft and Sony are doing the same old thing over and over and Nintendo could break the mould... The only thing stopping that is that Nintendo are the worst for doing it and will not change at any point in the foreseeable future
When is it coming out? Is it going to be announced at E3 this year?
