E3 Game Line-Ups - Part Two

Posted by simoniker on from the excitement-growing dept.

More companies are announcing their line-up for E3, and one of the most interesting rosters comes from Capcom, who now have an E3 preview page up on their site. Highlights include Resident Evil: Outbreak (the online Resident Evil for Playstation 2) and Onimusha Blade Warriors (more of a fighting game?), as well as other new Maximo and Onimusha titles, though sadly there are no screenshots available there. Also announcing their product line-up are Eidos Interactive, whose press release mentions Thief and Deus Ex: Invisible War from the Spector-headed Ion Storm, plus interesting Legacy Of Kain and Tomb Raider sequels. Finally, a preliminary list of E3 titles bundled out of Sony Europe by Eurogamer includes Gran Turismo 4, Syphon Filter: Omega Strain, Eye Toy (using your Playstation 2 plus a camera add-on), Ratchet and Clank und Jak and Daxter sequels, and plenty more. Excited yet?

    Is anyone bringing out a decent game that isn't an expansion/sequel/rip-off?

    Forgive me in advance as this is slightly off-topic but after reviewing the impressive list of interesting new games, sequels and online-capable versions of current games, I couldn't help but ask, who has time to play all these games?

    I had a Playstation 2 and a Gamecube (as well as all the consoles that came before) and my collection of games was growing much faster than I could play them. I was overwhelmed and gaming became less fun and more like work. I finally had enough last October after losing a month of my life to Animal Crossing (don't ask, you either love it and become obsessed or think its completely stupid). I have since sold my systems and all my games and rediscovered all kinds of 'analog' hobbies like reading and going outside.

    I get pangs when I hear about cool new games but my brain and my bank account just can't take any more. Am I the only one feeling like this?

      Well, I guess life is all about choosing, because you just cannot have it all. Personally I don't have too much time for games, so I try to choose wisely. I limit myself to buying 2 games per quarter and that's it. And sure, from time to time it happens that after I bought a game another great game is released that I really want (like right now, I just bought SC4 and now Tropico 2 is out!) but too bad... It is just a matter of character I think.
