E3 2012 – Ubisoft Conference: Far Cry 3 On-Stage Demonstration & Trailer
Ubisoft couldn’t really have asked for a more impactful (or controversial) opening salvo for their press conference (disregarding that Just Dance 4 bollocks) than Far Cry 3.
Blood, boobs, tigers,drugs and death; it’s all here.
Despite reaffirming the accepted belief that the game is completely mental it still manages to be a solid and robust open-world shooter, the on-stage demonstration below certainly didn’t pull any punches.
See for yourself:
Far Cry 3 is due to be released this September on 360, PS3 & PC.
E3 2012 – EA Press Conference: Need for Speed Most Wanted On-Stage Demonstration & Trailer
Easily one of the highlights of the EA press conference was the unveiling of the Criterion developed Need for Speed: Most Wanted (not a Most Wanted 2 then? EA must have a low opinion of the original it seems) title, a game which came across a lot more strongly as a spiritual successor to Burnout: Paradise than a bonfide succeeding entry in the Need for Speed franchise that we all know and sometimes love.
Take a peek at the crisp visuals, hellishly fast racing action and open-world shenanigans yourself at the embed below:
Need for Speed: Most Wanted is due to arrive this October on 360, PS3 & PC platforms.
E3 2012 – EA Press Conference: Crysis 3 Gets Demonstrated & Trailered
Another game that was practically guaranteed to make the cut for the EA E3 presser was Crysis 3.
To that end, Crytek showed off an extended gameplay sequence and a single-player trailer to top off their segment. Amusingly, the Crytek chap spoke at length about the great sandbox FPS experience that Crysis 3 was to become. Um, sandbox? Really? It looked just as linear as the last one which was about as far away from being a sandbox FPS as you possibly could be without calling yourself Call of Duty.
Videos for both the gameplay demonstration and the trailer can be seen below.
Give em’ a gander:
I will post up a better version of the gameplay demo as soon as one becomes available. Thanks for understanding.
Crysis 3 is due to be released on 360, PS3 and PC in February, 2013.
E3 2012 – EA Press Conference: Medal of Honor Warfighter On-stage Demonstration And MP Trailer
A predictable key component of EA’s press conference was always going to be Medal of Honor: Warfighter and EA did not disappoint.
Showing us an on-screen demonstration of an extended single-player sequence, as well as a multiplayer trailer, fans of the franchise and well, shooty things in general, ended up being pretty well serviced.
Take a look at the on-stage demonstration and the multiplayer trailer in the embeds below. Oh and if you don’t like Linkin Park, you might want to turn the volume down a jot on the multiplayer trailer; it gets ear-violating loud at points:
Medal of Honor: Warfighter is due to arrive on 360, PS3 and PC platforms on October 26th, 2012.
E3 2012 – EA Press Conference: Sim City 5 Trailered
A nice little gem tucked away amongst the sweaty footballers, screaming guns and gory sphincters of EA’s E3 2012 conference, was the first gameplay trailer for Sim City 5 by developer Maxis.
It looks great. Though, I can’t say i’d be any good at it – i’d build this huge, fucking sprawling metropolis and then marvel at my creation; forgetting of course, to plumb any of the waterworks – starving my newfound city in the process.
Have a look at the trailer and see if you would fair any better than me (of course you will):
Sim City 5 is due on PC in February 2013.
E3 2012 – EA Press Conference: Star Wars The Old Republic Forthcoming Content Preview Trailer
To remind us all that they’re hugely expensive MMO wasn’t dead, EA popped out a trailer showcasing the future of Star Wars The Old Republic, showing off a new race, new operations and other assorted stuff to come in the near future.
The trailer is embedded below:
Star Wars: The Old Republic is available to buy now on PC.
E3 2012 – EA Press Conference: Dead Space 3 On-Stage Demonstration
What a way to kick off your conference; EA showed off a co-op on-stage demonstration of Dead Space 3.
To say it looked incredible, would be some sort of disgusting understatement. Those lighting effects are going to cause my 360 to have a stroke I reckon.
Take a look for yourself:
Dead Space 3 is due to arrive on 360, PS3 and PC platforms in February, 2013.
E3 2012 – Microsoft Press Conference: South Park: The Stick of Truth Gets Trailered
“Jews can’t be saviours, remember?”.
That line couldn’t really be uttered in any other game except for a South Park game. Well, any game that wanted to be sold legally anyhow.
And so it is that South Park: The Stick of Truth got it’s first proper trailer during Microsoft’s E3 2012 conference which really displays just how Obsidian have managed to nail the ‘crappy’ aesthetic from the show. A point of some pride it seemed as South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone were on-stage telling the crowd just how much effort went into making the game look as accurately shit as it does.
I think it looks chuffing brilliant personally.
You can observe the trailer for the game below:
South Park: The Stick of Truth is due to arrive on 360, PC and PS3 platforms in early 2013.
E3 2012 – Microsoft Press Conference: Tomb Raider On-stage Demonstration
Another glimmer of gaming bliss at the Microsoft presser (there weren’t that many, so really, you take whatever you can get), was the on-stage demonstration of the forthcoming Tomb Raider reboot.
The biggest surprise of all actually turned out to be the combat system, which despite all of the cinematic QTE bollocks going on around it, appeared solid and satisfying. An interesting little tidbit was that the first lot of DLC will be exclusive to the 360 version. Marvelous I guess.
Take a look at the trailer below:
Tomb Raider is due to be released on 360, PS3 and PC on March 5th, 2013.
Pre-E3 2012: EA reveals then pulls, Battlefield Premium trailer. Good thing we have it here then eh?
In a little boo-boo that’s quite likely to send somebody to the back of the unemployment queue, feasting on a spectacular diet of Transform-A-Snacks and White Lightning, someone at E3 accidentally published the Battlefield Premium trailer a few hours ago. Obviously, somebody who actually liked their job at EA has since taken it off the internet, preventing the mass-prying eyes from looking at it prematurely.
Well good job we have it here then eh?
The trailer shows off the primary perks of the Battlefield Premium package which include:
- Access to all five Battlefield 3 expansion packs
- Two-week early access to every pack from this month’s ‘Close Quarters’ pack onward
- Access to twenty new guns
- Access to ten brand new vehicles
- Additional dog tags and customisables
Best of all, the server says that Battlefield: Premium is out now; though obviously that is complete bollocks – unless of course somebody else at EA has a OCD for signing unemployment cheques.
The trailer can be seen below:
Battlefield: Premium is expected to launch late tonight for around 4000 MSP/£39.99.
