Electronic Entertainment Expo 2013 (E3)

[King Ellis]

EA time, time for some SPORTS and SHOOTINGS!

[GoGo Yubari]

Hoping for some Bioware and some Star Wars. Probably gonna get SPORTS.

[Sousa]

Wait, who's BRIAN Kirkland?

[King Ellis]

Wait, who's BRIAN Kirkland?

He should rename himself Jimmy.

Dragon Age name dropped almost immediately, good news for Srar and co.

And oh God, here comes the PvZ shooter.

[Ruki]

...wow...

[deli]

Nice bait and switch EA

[GoGo Yubari]

Hopefully Popcap will have amazing swag for this at PAX like they always have for Plants vs. Zombies.

[Your Mom]

It'll chew the whole damn thing off!

(pause for laughs)

....

Yeah! Here's this guy!

[GoGo Yubari]

It'll chew the whole damn thing off!

(pause for laughs)

....

Yeah! Here's this guy!

I was amazed when he didn't oversell the "the brains of Plants vs. Zombies" line.

Having never played the app version, can honestly say that this game looks entertaining enough for me to buy as an "I'm on a losing streak on FIFA, what can I play instead?" option.

[Crybaby Bunting]

first person shooter plants vs zombies?

categorically changing what made the first game so fun???

what the fuck EA?

[King Ellis]

I know everyone likes to mock EA for their 'take existing franchise, turn into shooter' thing but this looks like it's got a lot of that PvZ charm, throw in some video game parody like they've alluded to and it looks like a fun little game.

That and it looks really, really nice too.

PEGGLE 2?!

[Your Mom]

PEGGLE 2!!!! :w00t:

[Ruki]

He was really excited about Peggle 2.

[GoGo Yubari]

Yeah, I actually think that PvZ game looks charming.

"PEGGLE TWO!!!!!!!"

*Awkward jump, triumphant music, no gameplay and no reaction.*

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

What is Peggle and why are people so hype for a second one?

[Skummy]

Peggle 2? Oh great, now I'll never see my girlfriend again.

Fairly nonplussed about the Plants Vs. Zombies thing. It looks fun, and kind of sweet, but I'd probably never play it. I'd put Plants Vs. Zombies in the same category as Angry Birds - I had fun playing them, but never felt inclined to play them again, yet I bloody love the merchandise. I guess I just like the design of it and everything. Probably never gonna play a PvZ FPS though...

[Your Mom]

If I was there I would have totally made up for the non reaction to Peggle 2. Love Peggle so much!

[Cactus Drags]

PvZ is a third person shooter isn't it?

[Sousa]

What is Peggle and why are people so hype for a second one?

Peggle is sort of a pachinko machine/pinball machine game where you throw these little balls into the air and try to knock out tiles of a certain color. It's up there with Angry Birds in "why did this become so popular, aren't there like a zillion flash games exactly like this and also isn't it basically ALL LUCK?" territory.
