Rockstar have not been at E3 since 2005. They will probably have separate behind closed doors stuff for press though.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

This was a terrible conference. The game demonstrations were hasty and rushed. Most of "announcement" videos were just cg teasers with nothing about the games. Way too much non-gaming stuff. New Splinter Cell continues Conviction's direction sadly (but without Michael Ironside).

I had had high hopes for the new Tomb Raider game (as it had looked really good), but judging by this new demonstration, it's going to be scripted cinematic linear shooty action setpieces shit ala Uncharted now. God damnit.

New Gears... actually that might be ok. I hope. It's got Baird so.

Matter looks interesting, but that's probably because it has a neat artstyle, and they didn't really show anything of it. If it turns out to be some kinect shit, I will cry and just give up on the 360 entirely.


Let's see how much Move and social party game shit Sony will manage to put in their conference.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Ok, Watch Dogs has my attention now. Looks fantastic. Not sure about the whole multiplayer thing, but it's new IP, it looks stylish, atmospheric as hell and I hope it'll be as great as the presentation.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
