E3 2016

E3 has been the new Christmas for me as an adult. Once upon a time, I was subscribed to GameInformer and that was how I heard about all the E3 news. However, all that changed when I moved to Arizona.

By E3 2007, I was friends with Adam. At the time, we lived together and shared a room. He introduced me to so much and one of those things was watching the E3 conferences.Now, almost 10 years later, I look forward to watching them each year, especially Sony’s.

I was pleasantly surprised this year, though it will be pretty hard to top last year’s announcement of the FFVII Remake. My favorite is a game called Bound. I love the art style and the movement of the character. It looks like a game I would almost enjoy more watching someone else play.

Of course, I am in love with Detroit: Becoming Human. I’ll play anything by Quantic Dream because I already know it will have an amazing story. Speaking of, I was happy to hear their first game, Indigo Prophecy, will be making its way to PS4. I also own the HD remakes of Heavy Rain and Beyond Two Souls on PS4.

A lot of people are excited about the new God of War. It looks really great, but I have yet to finish any of the original games, so I couldn’t get too excited about it. Another big one was Resident Evil 7. I’m not sure how I feel about it yet. It felt a bit too much like Silent Hill to me and I like that the two horror series had such distinct styles. I do like that it seems to be going back to its horror roots. Overall, I’m cautiously curious about it.

I’m also very  happy about the Skyrim remaster coming to PS4, because I never got around to playing it when it first came out. I also almost screamed at work when I heard about the Crash Bandicoot remakes. A lot of people have negative feelings about remasters, but I love them. If I can help the developers put funding towards new projects by repurchasing games I want to replay, but don’t want to play on older systems, it feels like a win-win to me.

Overall, this year I haven’t been as excited about games as I have been in the past. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I am constantly researching games, so by the time I watch E3 conferences, I already know what to expect.

Tabula Rasa

Some of you may be wondering where all my posts went… Well, I deleted them.

I wanted a fresh start to my blog. All the writing I was doing focused on me and my personal life. I want a blog where I write stories and review books, movies, games and TV shows. I want to hone my craft. So, I’m starting a new.

I might throw in a personal blog here and there, but for now this blog’s goal will be to help me get into the writing industry some how.

On a side note, I’m going to LA for the first time today. I’m super excited. I’m such a Buffy/Angel nerd, I found an outfit as a homage to Faith when she went to LA in “Five By Five”.

Maybe I’ll find some inspiration while I’m gone?

Also, if anyone is still wanting to find my more personal thoughts and posts, you can always check out my tumblr, twitter and instagram. I’m rogueslayer0 on all three.
