The Tales series has been one of my favourite series since I first played Tales of Symphonia on the Gamecube.  So excited for the next entrance in the series, the last few (Tales of Graces and Tales of Vesperia) were really good, hoping they continue the trend.

Holy shit.  Harvest Moon is one of my all time favourite games of all time.  And the fact that they are going to release it on PC is just making my day.  So happy to hear this news.

I've heard reports that they were going to introduce Galactic Conquest (the best mode from BF2) will be added later.  If they add that mode as a single player, I think it'll be okay.  But the story in BF2 was pretty enjoyable, sad that we won't see it anymore.

I don't think there was even the idea of new 2d side scrolling Mario games. They can push out the new 3d ones (like 3d land) using a lot of assets from older games.  All they need to do is design new levels.  I'm still waiting for a new, proper 3d Mario game.  It's been a long time since Galaxy 2.

I think it's mainly a money grab.  By doing a small amount of work to the existing games (slightly upping the graphics, sometimes not even that) they can charge a premium price for a game they did very little work on.

I don't think they really brought much to the table this year.  They already have their Nintendo Directs in which case they communicate directly to their fans and target audience, so I think E3 is not as big a priority for them as it is for other developers.  That being said, they didn't have...

I really enjoyed Heavy Rain.  It was a good experience in storytelling, and was used as one of the key arguments that games could be defined as art.  Excited to see it being introduced to newer gamers.

I've never played Shenmue before, or even heard of it honestly, but I think that Final Fantasy is probably the bigger of the 3 here.  It's a huge nostalgia hit for older gamers, and may introduce a whole new audience to the classic series.

I think the best thing to come out of here is the lack of Kinect mentioned in the conference.  They just need to let that unneeded add-on die.

It looks absolutely amazing.  I'm super excited for this game, and hopefully it lives up to the expectations that the franchise has created.  I used to play the second one on the classic Xbox, and it was probably my favourite game on that console.  Can't wait for this one.

This was really needed in the One.  My girlfriend has a Xbox One she uses to play Destiny and Halo, but she never had an Xbox 360.  I have a few game from the 360, and wanted to give them to her for her to experience some of my favourite games (Mass Effect and others) but until now, this has...

I've been waiting for more news on this game for a long time.  Sadly, it doesn't look that great.  From the gameplay video, it doesn't look like the controls are that polished, and it seems that the game looks a long way off.  Hopefully we see some more progress, and the game doesn't go into...

I would have liked to see a new Mario 3d game, or something similar.  It's been a long time since the last real one (Galaxy 2) and I think the Wii U is crying out for a new drawcard.

Has anyone else been playing the new DotA client, DotA2 Reborn?  It's got custom game support, so you can play your favourites from WarCraft 3 again, in a brand new environment.  Sadly, as it only came out today, theres a huge amount of bugs at the moment, but it is only a beta.

I haven't managed to play too many of the classic FF games, but if they manage to produce good quality games, I will keep a look out and hope for some more remakes. I did enjoy the classic remakes on the GBA, and would be looking forward to more.
