Is anyone else skipping the Sports stuff? I'm waiting patiently for Most Wanted.
edit: speak of the devil....
Autolog, open world? I'm IN!!!!
Nitrous, Drifting nitrous bonus... I'm sold. wished there wasn't takedown cameras... that's going to be a PITA online.... and taking out cops is a bit ridiculous...

So true, as if you needed yet another way to move things around the screen on an Xbox! Even Trey Parker dissed them and they were invited
I did like the fact that the Xbox is getting a proper browser, I don't understand why the PS3 has such bad memory problems that it can't get something half decent. I hope Sony see that it needs Chrome or something on it ASAP.
Also love the Kinect dashboard voice integration, that's another thing I wish Sony would have for the XMB but again Sony usually say all this can't be done because of memory.

Watching Most Wanted now, meh, was never a fan of the more arcadey NFS games anyway but it's the physics that put me off immediately. Why do lampposts break like matchsticks and other cars bounce off of yours like they are made of balsa wood? Open world arcade racers look better and better but in many ways haven't really advanced since Midtown Madness or Crazy Taxi.

Not opponents perhaps but all other cars. And I doubt the lampposts are suddenly going to be solid online. Why do such games invest in making destructible scenery, yet totally mess up with the physics? That Porsche the guy was driving was ploughing through everything and was unscathed. Maybe i'm missing a trick and that's what people like, but it's a car, not a tank.

I'm only guessing they made the E3 build more lenient so that they could make the presentation possible. When Craig was about to get busted, I was thinking to myself "Well isn't that going to mess up the show?", then he stalled a bit driving in circles to keep us in suspense and then drives off a conveniently-placed massive ramp triggering the end screen.
Even in Hot Pursuit 3, the cops weren't that frail or lightweight that they could be tossed about.
I'm reserving further judgement for later when people record their gameplay in a few days and upload them..

I was dissappointed with the coverage of Tomb Raider, I mean it looks immense, sure (although I still wonder how much of it is on rails) but it feels so far removed from the original games, which were so much about being alone, and exploring remote places. The emphasis now seems to be firmly planted in third person shooter territory and Lara is far from alone most of the time.
In the E3 trailer she says "I hate tombs" but I wasn't seeing much sign of anything like a tomb. Perhaps they just haven't shown the more solitary parts of the game. Whilst I appreciate Crystal Dynamics breathed some life back into the franchise, they've also really messed with that original formula since TR: Legend, which was effectively a platform shooter. The Anniversary Edition got the right feel back, but then it would as it was a remake of the original game. I really hope they bring it back to Lara fighting with nature, the supernatural, and herself.

This stream on Gametrailers seems OK:

Presenter is a douche though, Peter Molyneux was talking about playing MOH and douche makes some quip about him being a pacifist and exploring the world to pick flowers. Oh my sides. iJustine is on it though so that's alright.

BF3's DLC sounds good but premium not so much, $75 of content for $50, yeah, but I wish they'd stop insisting that you get five DLCs, 20 weapons, 20 maps and 10 vehicles as if they're additional. Also anyone who bought B2K gets to buy it again, how delightful! I mean I'll probably buy it anyway seeing as how I got B2K for 'free' after preordering and I play BF3 a lot, but even so.
NFS: Most Wanted looked like Burnout Paradise but with police and real vehicles, so I'm interested because I loved Burnout Paradise. I'll have to wait and see how that pans out.
FIFA 13 looks like it includes 64% more foot-to-ball than previous installments, not that I've ever had a FIFA game or have ever cared about football... It does look good, though, as in graphically and animation...ally?
I missed Crysis 3, but I was never that bothered about Crysis 2 (or indeed Crysis) so I'm not particularly feeling the need to go watch. Maybe I will.
Black Ops 2 looks like Red Faction 3 (bear in mind that Red Faction Guerilla wasn't Red Faction 3), I got really bored.
Resident Evil 6 was similarly boring, same stuff as 5 but with extra co-op players it seems. And that wasn't even gameplay.
Splinter Cell Blacklist looks like it could be quite cool, I liked Conviction because I saw it as a completely different thing to Chaos Theory (the only other Splinter Cell game I liked, incidentally the only two I've played on platforms that weren't Playstations) so I don't mind the change of direction and massive simplification of the whole thing.
I can't remember what else I've watched, does anyone know if Arma III has already been shown? Any news on any racing sims that aren't Forza maybe?

Funny how Assassin's Creed III (which looks awesome) is pretty much portraying Brits as the enemy, then when the dude was questioned about that, not sure if my stream went funky but all he seemed to say was that the enemy are still the Templars. Where did most of the Templars come from IIRC? Britain? Nah, it was France, home of Ubisoft

Wonder why the French had a 100 years war against the English/British.
Now they're battling them in a game?
