The E3 2008 Thread
Storm Rider:
Yeah, those were the four games that I was really impressed by as well. Far Cry 2 I'm still not sold on, but I'm keeping an eye on it.
Johnny C:
Believe it or not, what sold me on Far Cry 2 was the viral character blog.
Melodic:
Me too, actually.
Storm Rider:
This isn't exactly E3 related, but it's not really worth starting a thread on its own and I thought people should know about it. Activision announced recently that they would be taking several of Sierra's titles (since Sierra was owned by Vivendi) and assimilating them into their own portfolio. The bad news: the Ghostbusters game and Brutal Legend, aka the only two games out of this gigantic behemoth that I gave a shit about, are not on that list which most likely means they've been dropped and will need to find a new publisher. They were passed over in favor of Prototype and some mystery unannounced game, as well as (and this is the best part) new installments in the Spyro the Dragon and Crash Bandicoot franchises, as well as the Ice Age movie license.
The silver lining in all this is that these games are far enough along in development that it probably won't be too difficult for them to persuade another publisher to pick them up. If I had to guess, I'd say the most likely candidates would be the smaller Western publishers like Ubisoft or 2K that is trying to get more franchises in order to stave off acquisition.
Melodic:
Has Activision seriously become the new EA? Because last I heard, the new Tony Hawk sucked, and skate. was fantastic. Am I actually working for the good guys?
