Weekend Confirmed 115 - E3 2012 predictions, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, Dragon's Dogma
by Garnett Lee, Jun 01, 2012 11:00am PDTE3 predictions! You love 'em! You hate 'em! You hate loving them? Whatever the case, The two Jeffs, and Insomniac's James Stevenson join Garnett to offer up plenty of forum fodder in anticipation of the big event next week. The crew tackles the big three--Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo--in the order of their respective press conferences. Does Xbox as a living room entertainment gateway give anyone goose bumps? Can Sony shake the Vita bottle hard enough to make a genie finally appear? Can Nintendo successfully answer "What would Mario do?" Of course, there's also time to talk some about the design plans for refining Diablo 3, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, and Dragon's Dogma before wrapping it up with Finishing Moves.

Endless amounts of military based shooters.
Sports games.
Dudebro permeating everything - even Tomb Raider.
What happened to a little variety in the genre?
Creatively, the video game industry is dead.

Last year everybody was crying about how Lara was too weak and moaning in pain the whole time, looked like torture porn, yada yada (looking YOU Andrea Rene).
This year, they show her fighting her way through badguys, with almost zero quick-time, button-prompt stuff.
Taking both short slices into account, I am THRILLED with what I've seen. We might finally see a fully realized female character lead, and a character that evolves from a vulnerable, frightened victim into a strong, independent, savvy survivor.
Tomb Raider is currently riding just behind Halo 4 as my favorite game of show so far.
