Oh yeah, Star Wars 1313 thing looked quite impressive too. But it's still disappointed it's Uncharted Wars style, ie, no space dogfights or jedi duels and stuff... And yeah 3DS stuff later today.... Maybe late enough to be tommorow for us, I dunno.

while the pessimist fears this is true.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That looks fun, I personally don't understand the hate, it looks like LKS or Pikmin to me and I like both those games.
I was really underwhelmed by that demo. Graphics were amazing but the gameplay looked so mundane and it just made me think, this is going to be next gen? This E3 people were feeling that we've played every game already, well next gen is going to be the same but with more detailed graphics.
EDIT:
Oh great, bed store fucked up. Now I will be sleeping on the floor for a week.
I like the looks of P-100. Plus I've always been a fan of goofy super-heroes like the Tick and I kind of get a similar vibe from this game. I can't say it's a must-buy or anything, but it's interesting enough that I'll continue to keep my eyes open for info on it.
Yeah it's no must buy.
I worry that Platinum is truly putting 100% effort into P-100...and they certainly need to change the name (why do developers always seem to use such crap game names on Nintendo consoles? P-100? Zombi U?) if they want sales.
It could be good, but is it different enough from Pikmin 3 to compete and sell?
Yeah P-100 looks great but its not exactly what you expect from Platinum which is super violent action games. I will get though.
Watch Dogs, because it looks beautiful and immersive, and it was something surprising and new which is what I want from E3.
Far Cry 3 really impressed me too. I've always loved the style of Far Cry/Crysis games, and FC3 looks like a big improvement over FC2 in every way.

The real question: is Pikmin 3 different enough from Pikmin 2 to compete and sell? It looks so similar it could be a remake. They have kept the Wii map design from when it was being made on Wii - you can tell by the disturbing lack of detail and resolution of the ground textures and they have put some HD assets on the top, leaves, apples, some character models.
3DS is killing over there.

Longer higher quality Zombi U video here
You can get a good sense of the visuals here. Ubisoft Montpellier are hardly graphical whizzes, their last games were Tin Tin, Rabbids Go Home and Rayman Legends. Considering its a launch game on new hardware it looks decent for them.
Holy shit, at 2 and a half minutes it looks like Elebits HD
Hitman looks awesome...forgot about it.
I really hope they tweak the visuals more before launch.
I think the graphics in Zombie U are solid. Not Crysis, but solid.
I'm just unsure what the game is supposed to be at this point. It looks cool, but is it supposed to be like a 1st person Resident Evil? Is there a story to it? Does it have wings? These are the things I NEED to know...
It's not so much the visuals that bother me, why is it a similar environment? I'm getting serious deja vu. They could at least set it in a radical looking world with tons of stuff we have never seen before. Instead it's the same stuff from the first two games.
The dev walkthrough videos are better quality, looks good nice lighting and animation. Like you said not top tier Crysis or whatever but it's not like it's painting the system in a bad light technically. It's a FPS where you have to use a big bag of tricks to survive. Once you die you respawn as a new character, go pacify your old zombified character to loot your stuff back and make it through to the end.
The hub in this game looks cool
Most previews are saying that despite our hate, it's actually quite good.
This is SO wrong!
Metal gear rising has some janky textures
Is that a toaster on the right?
Right, to clear up the Wii U chatter, it was said that Nintendo Tokyo and Retro had Wii U games in a showable state but they chose not to show anything not out in 2012. And an Aliens stage demo was planned but sega pulled the plug on it because they felt the game wasn't ready to be shown off yet.
