E3 2008 Day 02 - Surprise Me
By vinny 28 Comments
Below are some of my quick impressions, mostly about two of the most interesting things we got two see on day 02 of E3.
We also got to monkey around in Dead Space. You know, it's that futuristic third-person with the projected HUD elements and much severing of alien limbs. After seeing how tightly the whole aesthetic and implementation of the universe are wound together, this game seems right up my alley. I love a really focused third-person shooter that just overflows with little details, and so far Dead Space seems to be just that. The character design is great, things animate well and the weapons seem like enough of a departure from your standard rifles and shotguns to keep things fresh. It's a wonderful surprise, and something I wasn't even looking for when we left for E3.
So there you have just two of the many great games we were able to actually play on day 02. I could go on about Dark Void and my time with SF4, but suffice it to say, I had huge grin on the entire time.
