Nintendo's conference was a travesty, if you can even call it a conference. They spent 55 minutes on Pokemon to the point where it was pretty much a Let's Play and then a mini Let's Play on the new Zelda. If Nintendo only had two games to show, they shouldn't have even bothered with a conference type stream. They did though, and therefore it is only fair to grade them like every other conference, and I give them a big giant E for EPIC FAILURE!! They have pretty much ignored all of the other 3DS games they have coming out for just Pokemon and telling us redundant information. They couldn't even be bothered to make a trailer of their upcoming games.

The new Zelda looks like The Witcher meets The Wind Waker and I can not wait for it. Of course, I'm not sure I'm willing to buy a new console for it.

kinda sad that the most interesting gaming-related news I've read this week involves the dude who manages "Penny Arcade" resigning...

That is true. I do wish we would have more stuff similar to the virtual console on the PS4 and Xbox One. People like me like to play things on how they are originally made. With the VC on the Wii U, I like how they keep games on how they are. However I do feel like emulators on the PC have hurt possible classic game re-releases because people can download them for free on their PC.

I also feel like if they do remasters, they should give people the choice to play the original as well. If you look at Star Wars, you can watch the original and remastered editions on DVD. I don't know why video games can't be the same.

It's a God of War game, so of course it'll have Kratos. It's just a different Kratos. If they removed Kratos it'd basically be something completely different. So I'm not really sure what YOU were getting at lol. You want a new game that's God of War but doesn't play like the old games and doesn't have Kratos?

Technically, a remaster is just the original game but updated resolution and cleaned up. It wasn't until recently that companies started actually re-doing things, which I don't really like. People expect completely updated visuals and improved menus and stuff like that. I just want the game with better resolution and widescreen.

I'd like to see a God of War game without Kratos. He's kind of a horrible protagonist. The whole tragedy in his story has kind of stopped justifying his actions come GOW 2.

I think it'd be cool to have a game like MGS2 or DMC4, where they'd make Kratos a character in the game but you don't play as him.

See, that's exactly it: Kratos being in this game is the only thing that makes this God of War, so why have him? Kratos is tied to Greek mythology and the iconic GoW-style of gameplay, changing everything around him makes him look out of place.

It's like you make a movie about a sci-fi spacefighter pilot, but then decide you want to have the setting to be the Wild West. With a small western town, gunfights at high noon and all that good stuff. Do you keep the pilot as your main character? No, you choose a cowboy or a sheriff or something like that.

The new God of War game looks like a spin-off or a completely different game yet Kratos is there. It's just not working.

Spin-offs that focus on different gods of war from other mythologies have been discussed in the past so I don’t get why they can’t make a clean cut and tell a new story. Or you now, don’t call the game God of War if it’s just not looking like it. But as Dr. Kain said, they want to push a well known franchise. It's just not feeling right to me.

And if they want to have Kratos visit other mythologies then they should better make the game feel like a God of War game. This is looking like a more action based The Last of Us, not God of War.

That’s my problem with the game. Feels nothing like God of War, but is called God of War and Kratos is there. If it would be a spin-off title with a new main character but also set in the GoW-universe (only in a different part of the world at a different time) then fine. If it would be a new GoW sequel where Kratos goes north to beat up some Nordic gods in his classic style with a few new twists and turns to the formula, also fine.

But this game is neither of those things, that’s my issue with it.

Somebody took a picture of Hideo Kojima doing the "OBJECTION" pose at the Ace Attorney booth at E3. That's gonna spawn so much fanart.

Xenoverse 2 looks good. I did wish we got a new Power Rangers game announcement. I wish PR would get a good game like Transformers and TMNT did. I mean Power Rangers has the same nostalgia value as Ninja Turtles and Transformers. Platinum Games making a PR game would be awesome.
