Let's Do The News! - The E3 2012 edition! (June 5, 2012)

Hey! Where did you go?

Ugh, I went to this year's E3 showcase and gosh, all those press conferences and game trailers really did give a kick to me.

Wow. Experiences?

Harsh but entertained...

So, shall we do the news, then?

Okay. Let's do the news but because this is E3 2012, this is going to be a special one.

So, what's the catch?

First up, there was this trailer to this upcoming spin-off of the Forza racing game franchise. It's called FORZA HORIZON. We heard about that since the announcement of the Porsche DLC Pack a couple of months ago and today, they finally showcased the trailer of this upcoming spin-off featuring lots and lots of cars tearing through Colorado.




Cool! I so wanna have that.

Me too. Anyway, this spin-off titled FORZA HORIZON is an open world racing playground where players explore around the Colorado rockies in style. A selection of the fastest of cars, including the star car, the 2013 SRT Viper, are here to rattle through the Colorado rockies in the pursuit of the Horizon Festival where music lovers and car enthusiasts collide. I also picked up that DJ Rob Da Bank from BBC Radio One is going to be involved on this game as well.

(ooohh)

Hold on! Hold on! DJ Rob Da Bank from BBC Radio One's going to be involved? Amazing!

Keep your cool down. More info later on.

I really want that FORZA HORIZON game because...um...think of it as Forza Motorsport...LIVE FOR YOU.

(audience laughing)

LIVE FOR YOU?! Wasn't that IDOLM@STER LIVE FOR YOU?

(audience laughing)

Just my expression...Anyway, what's next?

Let's see...um...Konami. Japanese video game maker goes big. They've gone HAIDARAAAA!!!!

(audience laughing)

What?

Anyway, they've gone mental, or should I say, METAL. They've previewed upcoming games such as the all new Metal Gear spin-off titled METAL GEAR RISING: REVENGEANCE. The game highlights Raiden's hack-and-slash action like you've never seen before.




(audience applause)

Damn cool, right?!

Spectacularly good for me. I'm so into that. The thrills, it's something that I would gladly forgive about. Speaking of Platinum Games, those guys did a good job here.

Um...you realized that Mega64 make a hilarious interpretation of RISING with a clip of Raiden taking several jobs. It's very funny because...IT'S WHAT WE DO AT WORK EVERY DAY! (laughing)

(audience laughing)




Hey Mega64! I just wanna say that you really rocked us! You guys rocked with this most hilarious clip interpreting Raiden and MGR! He he. Thumbs up!

Yeah, thumbs up!

Anyway, another Konami premiere at the E3 2012 was the Zone of the Enders HD Edition. Yep, it's those two ZOE chapters; from the original to the Anubis, got remastered for the first time for PS3 and XBOX 360. This game will come out this fall and I'm thrilled to have one.

Yeah!

One of my childhood memories, relieved. And oh, speaking of which, it's been 25 years since the first Metal Gear came out. This E3 2012 pays tribute to Metal Gear series' 25th year.



Yeah! What about other Konami premieres on the E3 2012?

Let's see...um...those Konami premieres include a sequel to the Castlevania Lords of Shadow, DRAGON COLLECTION social game, Frogger Pinball Frenzy, KARAOKE JOYSOUND, New Little King's Story (王と魔王と7人の姫君たち ~新・王様物語~),  an upcoming Winning Eleven 2013, SILENT HILL Book of Memories, and more.

Talk about big for Konami. Heh, I love Konami games. They have commanding presences. A presence of METAL GEAR. He he he....

(laughing)

Anyway, there's more than that came from. XBOX's ENTERTAINMENT EVOLVED mission involves more on the many features coming on the XBOX 360. Those include more than 35 new providers to its current roster of content suppliers, including Nickelodeon and Paramount, as well as bringing NHL and NBA games to Xbox. There's even a new XBOX Music Service as well but no further info yet till further notice. 


I was really impressed that even with XBOX 360 being there with us for several years but it keeps on evolving into more and exciting ways.

Anyway, Playstation, they're getting a bit more mental with such premieres such as the prequel of the GOD OF WAR franchise titled Ascension, due early 2013...


...then the guys of Crash Bandicoot, Jak and Daxter, and the ever popular UNCHARTED franchise showcased more of the upcoming survival game THE LAST OF US...


...a new PS Vita game based on the upcoming Assassin's Creed III titled Liberation...


...more on the Playstation All Stars Battle Royale...


...a new Playstation Move Racing Wheel...


...and there was a new game from the people behind HEAVY RAIN!


This whole...NEVER STOP PLAYING thing for Playstation, that's how they get even more bonkers with a fresh batch of upcoming games that will leave them bonkers.

Hmmm...You know Bethesda? The guys behind last year's RAGE, they spilled the beans more about their upcoming supernatural assassin game titled DISHONORED. Then, Square Enix showcased the revival of the hit action adventure game, Tomb Raider, which is delayed to next year. But there's something even more better than that because EA told that there's going to be a new content on the popular BATTLEFIELD 3 shooter game. Called BATTLEFIELD 3 Premium, this content grants access to the new CLOSE QUARTERS expansion pack and more. And it's coming exclusively to the PS3!


Lucky them. Those PS3 games get a chance to have early access on new BATTLEFIELD 3 contents and they're getting a bit cocky now for some more kills in online multiplayer. He he he...

(audience laughing)

Sadly...we're running out of time but for a catch up, I also heard that EA's scoring big with premieres such as DEAD SPACE 3, MEDAL OF HONOR WARFIGHTER, CRYSIS 3 and loads of stuff. But there's something that made our lightbulbs went on.

What?

There was something from EA that really blown my mind. Something that is a bit more of a revision rather than calling it a continuation. Something that is a bit different than what it used to.

Wait let me guess....You know what it is right?

So, before we bail out, let me showcased you what the folks from EA came up on this year's E3 Showcase. Ladies and gents, I give you NEED FOR SPEED MOST WANTED!




To be fair, this is a different kind of MOST WANTED. It's different from the one you have since 2005. This 2012 NFSMW is made in collaboration with Criterion Games.

Wha....MOST WANTED? But...I have that game in my PS2...

Uh...yeah...the 2005 NFS MOST WANTED. What they showed here is the 2012 NFS MOST WANTED. It's a whole new NFS experience with new set of features and an upgraded Autolog feature to track down your progress.


But....but....but...but...buh....bu....

Shut up! You know that this is a new kind of NFS Most Wanted. You can forget about the old Most Wanted. Forget it. Even the iconic M3 GTR. Nothing. This is a new generation of NFS MOST WANTED. They'll come with a SVT Raptor, 2012 Nissan GT-R, Lamborghini Aventador, SRT Viper, and lots of cars to escape the cops and crush the competition...alive. Like...UNBOUNDED. He he he...

And that's the news!
