Plenty of positive vibes emanating from this year’s E3, but I’m holding off from posting anything pertinent until this Sunday, when everything ought just about wrapped up. However, I did want to leave you good folk with the following morsel of digitaliciousness with preamble: The fact that most gaming news portals have gone through most of today without so much as a fuckin’ sneeze about this trailer is not only astounding, but also pretty fucking revealing about the hype-driven gaming press as a whole. Bereft of any appearance of a company mascot or monochromatic high-res graphics, why would any of them deem this worthy of wasting a glance on (or for passing along to its readers, for that matter)?
If you’re a video RPGer of any type of stock (be it traditional, strategy-based or hack ‘n’ slashy) you ought to know the name Yasumi Matsuno. If you don’t, click and learn and pay specific attention to his resume. The trailer you just watched is the result of a joint development venture between him and Nintendo.
And you thought that The Last Guardian was the headline-winner of the day? You might as well be getting your news from a fucking Gamefaqs forum.
