[E3 2013] The Division - "Tom Clancy Goes Online"

As an old timer in the world of video games, Tom Clancy has turn into a huge Intellectual Property (IP) spanning different number of platforms, title, and even genre. Though I doubt Tom Clancy himself still handling these games, the games still looks great and probably one of the biggest Military-themed IP out there.

With so much experience and firm ground to stand, the next installment of Tom Clancy series (other than the new Splinter Cell - Blacklist) will take it to the next level. Prepare yourself for "The Division"! This brand new title from Tom Clancy will be, like they said in the end of the demo, Online | Open World | RPG. Think of it as an MMORPG Shooter. Maybe you will frown thinking about this, but the demo looks great!

In the thickness of FPS games forest, a Third-Person Shooter is really refreshing.

The Division will use their favorite perspective which is Third-Person. This is a good choice considering the number of First Person Shooter out there starts to make me bored. The user interface using those futuristic UI seen on several other Tom Clancy titles such as Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. On the screenshot above you can see all the information you need to know ranging from remaining ammo, health, to other player status floating on the side of your character, not static on the screen like traditional UI. The menu is also in the same holographic manner. It floats around on your wrist. And when you select the menu you want to see, it will pop up in front of your character. Its not just sound cool, but it IS cool. It reminds me of the time I saw Dead Space II's inventory.

[E3 2013] Project Spark - "Let It Spark Your Imagination!"

Do you have an idea to create a game but don't know how to make it?
Do you want to play a game that you made yourself with your friend?

Remember how PS have RPG maker series that focused on creating RPG?
Or maybe LittleBigPlanet series that also on PS3?

Now, we have something bigger than those. Introducing a game where player "create" their own game at let other people play it, "Project Spark"! And by far, this is my favorite demo from day 1.

Make your own world!

Project Spark setting will be on fantasy world. Story? There's no such thing as story yet. Why? Because it's 'you', the player, that will be make the game! Said as Microsoft's answer to Sony's LittleBigPlanet, this Xbox One exclusive game give the freedom to player to create anything! Using Xbox One control mechanism such as Kinect and Smart Glass, player will be able to interact and change the world as they like.

[E3 2013] Plant vs Zombie: Garden Warfare - "Now in 3D!"

Remember a certain game several years ago that possibly bring zombies to the hand of casual gamers?
Yeah, it's 'Plant vs Zombie'!

Now in E3, they showcased a brand new Plant vs Zombie game subtitled "Garden Warfare" as a parody to "Modern Warfare" series. The title is true, however, since this game doesn't play like the original 'Plant vs Zombie.' No sir, it will not be a Tower Defense. Ah, sure, it still have a 'little' trace of tower defense, but that's it. The main game play will be like "Modern Warfare" though looks to me more like "Team Fortress 2" though (I haven't played TF2 btw).

Is this... Is this 3D??!!

 Yeah, it's nothing like the original. But I have to tell you, it's damn interesting! We play as the plants, now have the ability to walk around, to protect the house from zombies. But now, we control individual plant and play with friends to work together against the horde of undead army. We can use special weapons, which seems like other plants that not suited as player avatar, selected from the bottom right of the screen. If player press LB at the situation like above, the plant will throw a 'Chilli Bomb' which will roll for a while, and.......

KABOOM!

[E3 2013] Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain - "Tactical Espionage Redefined"

Snake is back!
And this time, prettier than ever!
Please welcome Metal Gear Solid V - The Phantom Pain!

Likes it's every predecessor since Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Konami once again push the current available technology to the limit. Who can forget the stunning graphic of Metal Gear Ray on PS2 early days. It's not for several couple years until that level of graphic can be finally surpassed. And Konami answer that with MGS3: Snake Eater. When PS3 come out, I was surprised how beautiful MGS4: Guns of The Patriot is. It's graphic still impressed me when I finally able to play it for the first time last year (no budget to play it early). This is the proof that Konami and Hideo Kojima will never disappoint us with Metal Gear Solid, at least on art, story, and innovation department. And that's the expectation we have for MGS V.

We already heard about MGS: Ground Zeroes. What happen to that? Nothing. Nothing bad happen to it. Ground Zeroes will still released and MGS V will follow probably a year or two later. Using their brand new FOX Engine, the team behind MGS V able to deliver the most stunning graphic video games history ever seen yet. If that's how the final game will be, then I will not exaggerating when I said it is, "The most realistic looking video game" to date.

I will warn you, this is the only screenshot taken from Cinematic (ie. cutscene/movie)

Like every other year, this year E3 is not short of great news and games. The most anticipated news is of course Sony's PS4! It was announced on February but we haven't seen it yet, have we? Using this huge event as the stage, Sony finally step up and give us the look of their Next Generation Video Game Console.

Black and a lot of doff. Pretty!!

A Cardcaptor Sakura Remake?! For Real??!!

So I got this news from my friends.
Not really sure whether this is true or not though.
But hey! They have a magazine photo!

Oh God! Syaoran and Sakura in wedding dress!! I APPROVE THIS!!

Real Life Terminator Is Nothing Like Arnold - Unless You Think Arnold Is Moe

Yeaaaaahhhh.... The title is creeping me out a bit...
Anyway!

I was chatting with several guys and gals on a certain Internet Radio that I frequent when suddenly I stumble across a topic that really intrigue me.
A Smart Doll.
It's a doll but it's SMART!!
Well, I don't think it will be smart enough to do your homework though.

Although a doll can cover a whole bunch of doll types out there, I'm quite sure the one that we will talk about is about a certain Doll that was both expensive and popular lately.

Millhiore F. Biscotti - My favorite dollfie

Yup! Most possibly they are talking about THAT kind of doll. Not some other creepy one.

NO!! Definitely not THAT one!!

Yeaa... That's creepy...
Especially when we're realizing that the Smart Doll here is a doll that can move and interactive!
Imagine if a cute little Millhi-chan greet you up when you are wake up in the morning...
Now imagine that very scene, but instead of Millhi, there's Chucky instead...
That's what a dictionary definition of scary...

Kyonko is just HHHHNNNNNNGGGGHHH!

I know Kyonko is not something new.
I know Kyonko has been around for years.
I know Kyonko since a long time ago.
I know Kyonko is moe since the first time I saw her.
But now is the moment that I'm head over heels at her (9>w< )9
No... Wait!! That emoticon is just too cute for me! Who am I? Darcangel? She's the only one on DBX using those kind of emoticon on ALMOST all of her sentences and I'm not her!
I'm the 'B' on DBX not the 'D'!

*cough* anyway!
You knows about Kyonko, right?
The female Gen-Bend version of Kyon from Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu.

This is Kyon:

"People love my female version more than me" *facepalm

And This is Kyonko:

 

Hello, Hello, Hello~!

Long time no-post...
Like usual orz

Anyway, the hell with all those long time without meaningful post.
It's just happen I didn't do anything meaningful...
....
....
OTL FML!!!

*cough* Okay, since I already get a new phone (YAY!) means there will be more photo for my blog, right? Nope. Not sure... First of all, almost all the things that I reviewed here don't need to be photographed first hand. Let see, animes, movies, games, music... Do you want me to take a picture of those while in fact I could easily take a screenshot and present you a better quality pic?? See!

And second, I love writing, I love posting witty remark about things, I hate taking my time to take a shot of something that interest me. Well, that's until I realize taking photo of my Manga Session is really fun! I take pictures of some interesting scene from a manga I read and post it shamelessly to Facebook. Yes, I'm become one of those ass who post a lot of photo to facebook. Go ahead. Kill me! Kill me I said!!

This is what I called as Manga Session. Whoo! I'm become one of those ass!

No, I'm just kidding. Please don't kill me.

If you are curious (and I don't see for any reason why) my phone is Lenovo S560. I know it's not your usual high-end phone you guys carrying around. Hey, I don't have that much money, you know! Especially because no one ever click one of my ad sense! (to be fair, there wasn't a lot of people visiting my blog either, so... ¯\(º_o)/¯ (oh look! I'm using a cute emoticon!))

And no, I don't have any photo of it.
...
...
Okay, okay!

Here you go

I've tried but I couldn't make my phone stands like that

Yeah, I couldn't give you the Actual photo since my camera is happen to be also my phone.
Though I guess a mirror could do the trick, but no.
That's a big, big, no.


Ah, in another note, I started a new blog.
Well, I start it since Last August and just happens to neglect it like usual.
If you are not Indonesian, I guess it's little to no importance to you since it's written in Indonesian and discussing about manga that's published here.
But if you are curious, the sites is on http://komik-scale.blogspot.com/
(EDIT: I forgot to make the link click-able orz)
I'm trying, no, struggling to add new post, but hey, I'll be there eventually.

So, all in all, I think I've talk here much more than yesterday, eh?

This is Benz reporting, see you on the next post!!
AAAAAANNNNNNNNNDDDDDD CUT!!!!!!
