Last poll asked about your interest in E3 and it's fair to say most the majority of readers have some interest. 54% follow a couple games while just under 21% love E3. 20% don't have much interest while only 4.9% don't see anything worthwhile at all.
So, did anything catch your attention? This week we're asking which game really impressed you, based on E3 previews, interviews, trailers or whatever. I know lots of votes will go to your favourite game but I'm hoping to get a feel for those games that surprised you, changed your mind or impressed you beyond your previous expectations.
Personally, Bioshock looked the most interesting overall title with a fascinating game world, interesting art direction and the possibility of genuinely advanced AI (yes, time will tell if Irrational actually pull it off).
The Gothic 3 trailer surprised me by really looking like a Gothic game, despite the new technology. Although I doubt it will directly compete with the "best" graphics on the market, I really liked the authenticity and atmosphere - along with the lack of excessive bloom/HDR and plastic/wet surfaces. And the glimpses of the gameworld continue to look more "alive" than the competition.
The Witcher continues to impress with gorgeous art-direction - simply beautiful. Time will tell if the gameplay is up to the same standard but I remain impressed with what the developers are saying about choices.
It was nice to see some NWN2 footage, although the DM debacle was ill-timed. The very little we saw of Drakensang was very disappointing - I hope there are more previews in the pipeline so I'm not left with only that awful snippet of sterile combat. Finally, an honourable mention for the high-def Dark Messiah footage - perhaps Severance will finally get bested.
Hit the poll on the left and don't hesitate to tell us what you thought of E3. |
