Well, I just got home from E3 and am I burnt out...
As we all know by now, SNK was NOT at the show, and Capcom Vs. SNK 2 was the only SNK element there at all.
I stood in line for 20 minutes or so to play CvsSNK2, my wait would have been less, but there were a bunch of LITTLE PRICK FUCKS that kept cutting in line and I practically had to wrestle my way to the machine. When I did get to play I picked Haomaru and was soon granted one of the biggest gaming disappoinments of my life....
HAOMARU LOOKS LIKE SHIT in this game.
This is NOT the Haomaru we know and love from the SamSho series.... AARRGGHH!!!
He looks WAY too cartoony and cutesy poo.
Capcom has really done a number on him...
Oh well, as far as the rest of the game goes, the Backgrounds are much better here, my favorite being the stage were there is a big inflated E. Honda balloon on the left and a big Haomaru baloon on the right.. pretty cool. Overall the game is better than CvsSNK1, but IMO this one sucks only slightly less than the first one. Mark of the Wolves makes this series look like crap....
The X-Box was really unimpressive... if these games are the best of whats to come, then Microsoft is going down, HARD.
What really surprised me was how GOOD the Gamecube is! Luigi's Mansion is REALLY cool, and Super Smash Bros. Melee is also amazing.
There is a level in Smash Bros. where you are in the jungle on a bridge over a roaring river... This level was AMAZING! Best use of 3D at the show IMO.
The PS2 games on display were a pretty good:
Devil May Cry: Very cool looking, but the action looks repetitive...
Metal Gear Solid 2: Looks good
Maximo- Ghosts to Glory: A very cool game, kinda like a 3D Ghouls and Ghosts
Overall, it goes without saying, but 2D games are dead.... 3D is now the order of the day, and E3 just drove that home further for me.
Sad, really.....
