SimpsonsParadox:
Maybe its just me, but RE5 doesn't tickle my fancy, perhaps because as he was touting how great the female's AI was, she was staring into space as zombies hacked the protagonist apart. Also, near the end of the video a zombie just kind of gave up on attacking the guy and turned around and sort of started to walk perpendicular to the character. I know its an early build, but for now I'm really not impressed. Perhaps after some later builds RE5 might pique my interest, but for now, eh.

In the same vein, I immediately thought 'Alone In The Dark' once I heard Far Cry 2 dev's tout its superior fire effects. I hope it doesn't turn into AitD, but thats my fear for the game.

However, Mirriors Edge looks amazingly awesome, not just for its graphics but for its 'quirky' style of gameplay.

Melodic:
You're basing your early predictions for Far Cry 2 on the fact that it shares a similar gimmick?

SimpsonsParadox:
Not early predictions; in those I believe that its going to do quiet well for itself. Not as good as hype predicts it will be, but thats because no game ever does, not because of early videos/screenshots. Rather, my fear for the game is that its going to be like Alone in the Dark, as in it will have some genuinely new and refreshing ideas that are horrible marred by the rest of the game. Hearing the devs talk about the realistic fire effects in Far Cry 2 merely sparked off those fears, but didn't make them my 'early predictions' for the game. My apologies if it seemed like that was my initial impressions.

Melodic:
No, I was just trolling. ; )

I understand what you're saying, but every big game has always had some little gimmick that the developers fawn over, and this is always especially apparent at E3. Just because, in this case, fire was talked about for a good 5 minutes, doesn't mean it's a selling point: this is Ubisoft saying "ooh, look what we can do!".

Boro_Bandito:
I love how you've all pretty much completely ignored EA's announcements about their upcoming titles beyond Dead Space. I'm not on the games forums much so I don't really know what everyone's general consensus is about EA, but I've got a link to their entire Press Release HERE, which shows quite a bit of goodness. Its really long, but its got a few tidbits of information about games that had me slathering.Most notably for me anyway is Spore at the 25:30 mark. Its got the man that I worship as a god talking about the community around the game, and its got a brand new trailer with voice narration by the guy who played the Professor on the Power Puff Girls.

The press conference also had some other stuff, including gameplay of Dead Space, and a trailer for Dragon Age from Bioware, which despite Bioware's good history with me so far isn't really leaving me all that impressed. I was drooling a bit over Left 4 Dead though, which back when I first heard about it seemed kinda stupid, is looking more and more cool. I have a feeling its gonna be a good time in co-op.
