Trailers: Watch four alright looking games
Yes, it looks fantastic for what it’s trying to do, but what it’s trying to do has been done for the past four years. I honestly don’t understand the hype for Battlefield 3 (well, besides the massive marketing budget).

E3 2011: Day 1 video round up
I knew this show would eat me alive, and playing catch up after a hard day’s work in the non-video game world isn’t making this any easier. So here, have a disorganized pile of steaming trailers and stage demos. The Ninja Gaiden 3 and Devil May Cry trailers are definitely worth watching, but the stage demos are so beefy that you’re probably best to just pick and choose which games you’re interested in.

Trailers: 12 minutes of Battlefield 3
A lot of it is recycled from earlier trailers, but there is a fair amount of new footage in here. Graphically, there’s no doubt that this is a stunning game. But I’m so over the CoD clone Military Shooters, and it looks like that’s exactly what Battlefield 3 is trying to be. Maybe my opinion of that will change if we get to see some more of that hot cock-pit action that flashes by toward the end, but it’s entirely possible that the video would be so awesome as to require an ejector seat so we can escape before our minds EXPLODE!

Maybe not quite as dramatic as the COMPLETELY UNREALISTIC BS in that movie, but I am liking the appearance of the pace-slowing, tension-building events DICE has been showing in these trailers; first with the sniper scenario, now this IED situation.

I feel like those soldiers weren’t nearly as terrified as they should have been, professionals or not. Did you see the chunks of building that thing was blowing away? They should have had a roof-top watermelon stand up there just to get the point across.

…And pretty much nothing else. I’m seriously getting impatient with DICE’s refusal to demonstrate the destructive capabilities of the Frostbite 2.0 engine. I mean, they talk about the thing all the time, how about actually showing the improvements to us? Perhaps they fear we’d realize how much better the cliched setting would look once it’d been destroyed.

More importantly, we get about ten seconds of visible gameplay here, and it looks fabulous. Maybe we’ll get enough clear footage in the next trailer to see the Frostbite 2.0 engine’s heralded destructive capabilities. But until then, content yourself with the knowledge that pre-ordering a limited edition of the game will net you the “Back to Kirkland” DLC, which contains four re-imagined Battlefield 2 maps, for free. The rest of us will just have to pay for them.

You probably can’t tell from that lovely little teaser there, but if you look deep enough, you’ll see a 64 person (PC version only) online shooter running on DICE’s Frostbite 2.0 engine (think of the destructive capabilities of Bad Company 2, then make them a whole integer better). Looking even deeper, you might notice a dedicated single-player campaign that puts players in the boots of a U.S. Marine fightin’ ’round the world. If your prying eyes manage to pierce the very being of the trailer, there’s a good chance you’ll encounter co-operative support for that campaign.
