Lots of people really like it, especially those who don't have a lot of experience playing FPS on consoles.

I just wish they would offer an option to re-enable the Y-Axis so people like me could enjoy them too :(

I'm really feeling bad for Platinum Games, they had really unique titles like Bayo, Madworld, and Vanquish. Even Metal Gear Rising and Transformers felt refreshing.

I even gave Anarchy Reigns a shot and thought it was okay.

But as if TMNT wasn't already bad enough, Scalebound could be their worst game yet. I really want to believe they can do better than this, I hope they prove me wrong...but from what I've seen from E3 I doubt this will be a turnaround.

Super Mario Bros 3

Splatoon's motion controls are so much quicker and easier to use but I get not being able to adjust. My best friend can't use them at all, but he's normally a K+M FPS guy. I can't play an FPS without a controller, but the motion controls feel right.

I've tried so many times to use the motion controls in Splatoon but I can't get used to them disabling the y axis in the right Stick.

I get that the motion control is just for fine-tuning the aim, but you can't move the camera up or down with the stick AT ALL and my mind can't accept that.

It's personally why I don't play the game.

I got really comfortable using dual-stick controls in Splatoon, you just have to rely heavily on the classic controller trick of strafing as a way to fine-tune your aiming.

Dual analog is garbage for FPS. Keyboard and mouse is the best, followed by Splatoon's controls.

They're in a much better place than most non-indie small devs. They've had to do some cheap work for Activision under low budgets and time schedules, which results in stuff like TMNT and Korra (though turned out alright for TF), and MS might be controlling in their relationship since MS Game Studios is involved in Scalebound's development, but as a whole they've put out some great passion projects that were fully funded by big publishers like SEGA, Nintendo, SE, and Konami.

man I was excited to try that RE7 demo but I guess the US store is broken or just not updating or something. Dunno why they haven't flipped that switch for the US but I guess I have to play it later since it's not going up tonight.

Also the last time Platinum did fully-funded exclusives we got The Wonderful 101 and Bayonetta 2

Nothing can be said to control well on the N64, that thing had the worst controller of any major analog-stick-using console.

It's gonna be really fun to play Crash Bandicoot games with modern graphics and stuff, crash 2 and warped were both good

I will also have fun playing as Crash in Skylanders with my 9 year old sister who doesn't know who he is, alongside Donkey Kong since Crash works on all platforms which is very good

hi everyone im sorry i havent been chatting w/ yall ive been busy working like crazy but i have been watching all the e3s

next thread gonna be posted in a lil bit and that'll take us through the rest of the show

biggest disappointment Scalebound, biggest surprise Severed (yes i know it was a Vita game), somewhat puzzled by e3's sudden absence of interest in indie games after the past several years were filled with indie coverage, i wonder if Sony/Microsoft are trying to put them back in the ghetto, to use a bad phrase

best moment was weird beatboxing lady with the drum
