E3- BF3, Elder Scrolls, and Bioshock Infinite

OOOKKKK, for the past 2 days E3 has been going on and has been releasing a lot of information...pretty much about everything. Everything from Zelda and XCOM, from Mass Effect 3 to Modern Warfare 3. What I am going to be talking about in this is article is three different games they have talked about so far. First being Battlefield 3 with it's completely brand new and rebuild Frost-Bite 2 engine. Second will be Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and how the whole game is almost completely unscripted. Last, but not least Bioshock Infinite with creepy flying city and its extreme patriotism. Here we go...

With every video that DICE is showing about Battlefield 3, it gets me more and more excited for it. The more nervous I feel for Modern Warfare 3. Now i do want to say first, from what i have bee seeing Modern Warfare 3 looks amazing as well, but when i think of that new engine that DICE is using, i wonder how destructible the game rally is. DICE says that it surpasses what it is on Bad Company 2. So you can only imagine what that is capable of. Here is a Video link to see what I am taking about. Of course if you have seen the video for BF3 you would assume that there was jets in the game, but unsure if that was single or multiplayer. It has been confirmed that indeed it was multiplayer, which you know these online maps for the game are going to be HUGE! Both outskirts and urban environments.

The last thing I remember Bethesda about Skyrim is that on average the game is going to be 300 HOURS LONG!! Are you serious?! Now that may not come to a shock to a person who has played an Elder Scrolls game before, but i haven't. I mean 300 hours? What is there to do in a game that on average it takes 300 hours to beat. When I say the word "beat" I mean fully 100% complete the game. That fact that it is that long of a game is exactly why I want it. The map size of the game has been said that it is the size "Oblivion" or maybe a tad bit more. Also again, what is cool about this game is that it is unscripted, meaning it is random. you may be picking a fight with a mammoth and all of a sudden and F'in dragon will come down and take that mammoth and life it in the air! and let it drop! Then it is your choice if you want to fight that dragon or not. (which you most likely will) Just to show you how random it is, Check it out.

Bioshock Infinite is in fact a prequel to the very first Bioshock. You are a Pinkerton Detective Agent, (Real Agency in fact) assigned to go to this floating city called Columbia to rescue a girl that who has been captured for years. The city is a floating beacon of America's superiority over the world and the citizens are going through a civil war with two different factions. Apparently finding her was the easy part it just going about how to get her out of there is the hard part. Your character has a voice finally unlike the previous Bioshock characters. What convinced me to get this game is this 10 min trailer, and let me know what you think. Im pretty sure you will be sold. Video
