E3 2013

by mento

Another yearly tradition. Despite all my vamping around, I did pay attention this year. How could I not when Sony was dropping mics left, right and center?

Here's just a list of games I'm curious about. I refuse to get hyped because so many are so far off and I need that energy to do other things, like type up nonsense Vampire the Masquerade LPs.

Batman: Arkham Origins

1. Batman: Arkham Origins

A new Batman game? Eh, sure.

Below

2. Below

Didn't much care for Superbrothers, but this has definitely piqued my interest. Dunno how you could combine the coldly mechanical Roguelike model with the flighty musical ethereality of Superbrothers.

Bravely Default: Flying Fairy

3. Bravely Default: Flying Fairy

Didn't see much of this game before E3. Hell, didn't really see much during. But despite the dumb name I kind of want to try this game and understand the hype surrounding it.

Disney Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse

4. Disney Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse

One of two remakes of Disney-themed platformers originally released over 20 years ago. Definite theme emerging. (I loved the Mickey/Illusion games.)

Dark Souls II

5. Dark Souls II

Hell yes. I still need to beat the first Dark Souls though. Had to abandon it just before Sen's Fortress.

Deep Down

6. Deep Down

I've still no idea if this is Dark Souls or Dragon's Dogma or something in between or something completely different. These grim fantasy RPGs are certainly getting around though and I couldn't be happier about that.

Dragon Age: Inquisition

7. Dragon Age: Inquisition

Talking of grim fantasy RPGs, I have just enough goodwill left over from Origins to be curious about a new Dragon Age. DA2 didn't sap my will to play more (or my will to live, for that matter) entirely.

DuckTales: Remastered

8. DuckTales: Remastered

That other remastered Disney platformer. If Jake Kaufman does for the Moon stage theme what he did for Double Dragon's iconic music...

Final Fantasy XV

9. Final Fantasy XV

Was a little apprehensive about the erstwhile XIII Versus after seeing a lot of cover mechanics and Uncharted cinematic action moments in its new trailer. Then I realised that both of those things were used adroitly in The Last Story and I adored that game because of them.

inFamous: Second Son

10. inFamous: Second Son

It looks like a fun new take on inFamous. I hope it rises above the problems I had with the second game.
