Thanks, i’ve been waiting for it because I passed out around 5:30 am (watching you guys live in Europe is not easy ;))

I couldn’t agree more ;)
DarkBee said on June 7, 2012
Me too, but sometimes that’s the price to pay to watch VGA.
prettyrose5 said on June 7, 2012
Every Once and a while I see the first hour, then thats mostly it :P
randomgamer666 said on June 6, 2012
part 2 and 3 are the same
codemite said on June 6, 2012
See you.
OdinLH said on June 6, 2012
So many parts. So much awesomeness. Exactly what I needed after mt final exam. Thanks, VGA!
BluHawk007 said on June 6, 2012
Hehe I’ve only gotten 3 hours of sleep since watching this. xD
Sure, that ain’t no MLG-ness like fraser, I’m just surprised I didn’t fall asleep at school. o.O
Also, ZombiU will probably be a system seller. That and Pikmin 3 and maybe Rayman Legends. WiiU looks totally amazing so far.
awhaleable said on June 6, 2012
Far Cry 3 looks really interesting, all because of the villain. Video games need more interesting villains!
metalsnakezero said on June 6, 2012
Personally, the people who came on top at E3 this year was Ubisoft, Sony, and Nintendo (Not going to say in what order). Still, Nintendo really needs to show what the WiiU really can do since they only showed small amount of concepts but I believe they can do it. Also they need new games, not old ones that I already have.
Last of Us, Beyond, and Watch_Dogs will, hopefully, bring a revolution of new IPs.
Microsoft and EA really need to rethink their presentation because they came out with stuff that we didn’t care for or it was presented in a really bad fashion.
dimfish said on June 6, 2012
Well if Beyond follows the same route as Heavy Rain then *spoilers* I can’t really see how it could be a new IP if 2/3s of the characters are dead :P
Hylian17 said on June 7, 2012
But is beyond actually a new IP? Hmmm…
zaziuma said on June 7, 2012
QD doesn’t really ever make sequals, they always do new stuff.
Hylian17 said on June 8, 2012
but isn’t this QD’s 2nd game?
zaziuma said on June 8, 2012
No, their fourth, and never a sequal, and I don’t think they plan to.
DarkBee said on June 6, 2012
28 parts? Holy fudgeballs…
How long was the show then? I went to bed after 2 hours, which is at about part 9/10.
I hope YOU also got some sleep after that, Fraser-sama.
BluHawk007 said on June 6, 2012
Like maybe a bit over 5 hours xD
peluche said on June 8, 2012
The live show was 7:30 hours :)
GorTheMovieGod said on June 6, 2012
Hell yeah! Watched this all the way through yesterday. Love the stuff guys.
toastbit said on June 6, 2012
One of you guys should have sung America (My Country ‘Tis of Thee) during the intro just to troll everyone else.
soghog said on June 6, 2012
Silly Farsh Frash, Ubisoft doesn’t accept monopoly money!
Hotcakes said on June 6, 2012
*waits patiently for part 8*
Great show so far guys.
yeismeload said on June 6, 2012
I felt Sony and Ubisoft were most impressive to me, but Nintendo definitely seems to have things going well for its next console. Get as many third party devs and ‘hardcore’ titles as possible, while still catering to the casual element with things such as nintendo land and wii fit u. I am also thinking about getting the vita/ac3 bundle but to be honest I don’t know if my wallet can handle the second half of this year.
blazekingz said on June 6, 2012
goddangit blip let me watch part 20 XD
diffusionrapt said on June 6, 2012
Loved every second of this show and trailer. Loved watching the shows live with Fraser and some of you guys together making the whole event a lot better. Sad thing about EA is that they did show a lot of good stuff but it got blurred together by the 35 or so minutes of sports. They had five or so good titles that I just can’t for the life of me remeber. Also a shame nintendo didn’t really bring their A game, good conference but they only really had pikmen and super mario bros; where I think everyone was expecting a big reveal towards the end. Anyway great week, great conferences, and great games, this year will be great, next year will be better; may this trend continue.
theDeadmoo5e said on June 6, 2012
The nintendo conference was extremely disappointing. After last year’s E3 they left everyone with dozens of unanswered questions, and were expected to answer them all this year. They showed off a bunch of games that are already out or coming out on 360 and PS3 (which I already own) and 5 definite launch titles. They spent 15-20 minutes talking about nintendoland, which only kids will care about (I personally don’t care about a mario and zelda mini game collection). They didn’t announce a launch date, price, or specs. Also from what I heard, the hardware on the gamepad isn’t very impressive. nintendo claims that it wants this to be a system for both the hardcore gamer and the casual gamer. Not from what I have seen. They’re still not willing to let go of the casual market because of the success they had this generation; They’re still making casual their focus. Also, I could buy all those 3rd party titles without having to buy a $300-400 new machine. Nintendo has not peaked my interest or convinced me to run out and buy a WiiU, and that’s not a good sign. If they can’t convince me to buy this, they will not do well with the hardcore market. besides, the casual market doesn’t care about the WiiU. Ask anyone you know who’s a Wii owner and isn’t a nintendo fanboy (like Fraser), they probably wouldn’t give a flying fuck. nintendo is 3rd place this year, in my opinion.
Hotcakes said on June 6, 2012
“They didn’t announce a launch date, price, or specs.”
Woah. Almost as much fail as MS not announcing new hardware at all. Except at least we know -something- is coming out from Ninty :) I haven’t seen that far ahead yet (still waiting for part 8) but has two tablets actually been confirmed by Ninty or is that just more rumourmongering? They really need to show that in action if I’m to be convinced it’s not just fanboys making shit up again.
“the hardware on the gamepad isn’t very impressive”
Well it’s not like a handheld; it’s more like one of those digital picture frames, with a control pad tacked on and capable of streaming video via wifi. None of that tech needs to be terribly advanced by todays standards. If it were capable of running programs by itself it’d be more interesting.
“nintendo is 3rd place this year, in my opinion.”
Still, when 4th and 5th places are as bad as they were, that’s pretty much a given :)
slykat said on June 7, 2012
check again, we showed the specs at developers and the details are online, all done at e3. And we’ve said in past that we wont announce launch and price til later on (said repetitively before conference). More stuff is on the way and hey its not a device for everyone. to each their own :)
blazekingz said on June 6, 2012
yea i agree there was nothing here that interested me a not a nintendo fanboy i have no interest in the wiiU which was basicly the whole nintendo segment.
in my opinion
Sony was the best
Ubisoft was after that
and then the rest cause neither of them really had anything that i looked forward to.
MissAshley said on June 7, 2012
Nintendo stated weeks ago that it had no intention of announcing the Wii U’s release date or price at E3. I’m starting to wonder if I’m the only one who remembers this because I keep seeing more and more people, including reps from major game sites, get upset that the info was “missing.”
slykat said on June 7, 2012
People dont remember or listen very well at all when it comes to news….-_-
theDeadmoo5e said on June 8, 2012
i think its high time that nintendo made a new franchise. a mature one, something to signify the direction they want to go with WiiU. above all, they need some exclusive games to sell their system, and all of nintendo’s exclusives are very kid-oriented.
also, thanks for your responses. expected a lot more angrier reactions
slykat said on June 8, 2012
dont worry nintendo is getting mature… just you wait :)
shadowluigi said on June 6, 2012
I’m still mad Infamous 3 wasn’t released…they mentioned Cole to…stupid Sony *pouts*
shadowluigi said on June 6, 2012
correction: Not released. I mean wasn’t revealed.
BluHawk007 said on June 7, 2012
Ugh..the story ended. I doubt a new game will come out.
shadowluigi said on June 7, 2012
I know but…dammit bluehawk!
theDeadmoo5e said on June 8, 2012
I was more disappointed that there was no Mirrors Edge 2 announcement.
slykat said on June 9, 2012
just in development stages long way to go if it makes it out of development lol
eric said on June 6, 2012
You got this out quick! Awesome year, too. I can’t WAIT for Ellen Page in a videogame!
MrGamingGuitarist said on June 6, 2012
I didn’t see their reactions to Beyond, so I’m still waiting for Part 14. I especially can’t wait to see Becky’s reaction to Ellen Page being in the game!
The 9th Sage said on June 6, 2012
Hey Frash Frash, did you see the NIntendo Pre-E3 NIntendo Direct video? I personally found that pretty interesting, it details some things that you’ll probably find interesting regarding the WiiU itself and it’s system software. Sorry if you cover it, haven’t seen Parts 26 and up yet (had to bail last night, felt exhausted).
The 9th Sage said on June 7, 2012
oh ok, good, you guys did, good.
TheNikus said on June 6, 2012
All that raving about Ubisoft and you still can’t pronounce their name right :/
And that Watch Dog game didn’t excite me one bit.
Whatever, I still love you.
nerdysatisfaction said on June 6, 2012
Am I the only one that noticed how many times Frash Frash wuz wrong in this in part 25?
Doublefinger said on June 8, 2012
i don’t even notice it anymore. i just take it as a given that fraser is wrong at least 50% of the time :D
Jmanzor said on June 6, 2012
Thanks for uploading :)
Teh Popo said on June 6, 2012
Oh fuck there should be a warning on part 26…..tears and pains and stuff….is taking me 2 minutes to type this…imma stop there…the mom is pretty cute…
Teh Popo said on June 6, 2012
What am I saying….fuck me
sygmus said on June 6, 2012
Please please please make that incompetent grandma bit at the end a highlight. I literally had to cover my mouth to keep from bursting out laughing, since it was past midnight and I didn’t want to wake my roommates.
The_Robot said on June 7, 2012
Is Fraser going to upload “E3 Lonesome”?
ninetails593 said on June 7, 2012
No Iwata’s banana?
ninetails593 said on June 7, 2012
Oh wait, it just wasn’t uploaded yet.
DualGameboy said on June 7, 2012
you don’t like the tobuscus parts because you don’t know who he is. if you knew you’d enjoy it much more. toby was my favourite part of the ubisoft conferance!
Shad said on June 7, 2012
Woo, I can continue right from where I passed out!
Dragon97king said on June 7, 2012
thank u guys i live in Ireland and passed out 4 30 men i wish i live in Canada right now
Dr. Doom said on June 7, 2012
As a huge fan of the enlightenment and the French and American revolutions, I find this highly offensive.
Nah, I’m kidding. It was hilarious!

Most Epic Intro evaah !!
Billyboyjennings said on June 7, 2012
I would really like to see the E3 Lonesome reactions. I missed most of it…

SouthPawKarl said on June 7, 2012
Omg you guys thanks so much for that awesome intro. I’m having a really bad day and that intro showed me how much i love you guys, it brought me to tears thanks so much.
batman said on June 7, 2012
Not enough Borderlands 2, unsub.
DarkBee said on June 8, 2012
*Unwubbing.
Not me, still haven’t played the first part (and most of the games VGA play).
Ojunix said on June 7, 2012
I’m really sadden that Fraser didn’t show or even acknowledged the upcoming “Transformers Fall of Cybertron” & that got a Big Trailer Introduction & if he could make a Special Video for Dead Space 3 why not the other Game?
Sometimes he gives the Bad Impression of that certain Games are beneath him
shadowluigi said on June 7, 2012
Just watched pat 26…and Fraser worried about the show being boring…
WandernChief said on June 7, 2012
Fraser your website keeps fucking me over by forceablely taking me out of full screen and making me refresh to watch the vids, it’s really annoying. Please reply if this is happening to anyone else
snorlax422 said on June 7, 2012
Fun fact: Lego did actually have it’s own games (a couple of them) that was sort of similar to the one coming to Wii U. Lego Island along with two sequels. I remember playing them when I was, like, 7. They were good games if I recall correctly through nostalgia goggles!
pianoslave89 said on June 8, 2012
I’m proud to say I was there for MOST of this and Video Games Conference Lonesome, but I had to sacrifice my sleep to accomplish this amazing feat >_>
slykat said on June 9, 2012
howd you survive? :)
mcsaboya said on June 9, 2012
why is everyone so mean to toby? the guy is so nice
and he is actually funny in his videos

leftylemon97 said on June 10, 2012
Fraser Dead space 2 had Co-Op also if you didnt know :_
Xodii said on June 10, 2012
Aw, the Wonderbook demo wasn’t as bad as you said it was gonna be. The worst I fathomed was that woman’s jugs set on fire on screen while spell casting.
Yomon500 said on June 10, 2012
Dead Space looked to much like lost planet 2
xdeathknightx said on June 11, 2012
Great show guys, was really enjoyable. And good because I couldn’t watch all the conferences due to the time difference and my work expecting me to show up somewhat decent ;)
I am glad there are some new IPs coming out, lets hope they can start some new series with that. Watch Dogs and Beyond look awesome.
I can’t wait for AC3, piloting a ship is something that should be in more games.
And I quite enjoy my HTC phone thank you very much :)
Have to say that Ubisoft won E3 to me and Sony was second. Nintendo had some fun moments but just not that wow factor, it was a tad “meh” to me.
By the way: If you played Saints Row 3 on the PS3 and activated the online pass you also would have gotten Saints Row 2 for free. And Saints Row 2 is an awesome game.
zomghai said on June 12, 2012
I’m still working my way through all these videos, but damn there are a lot of cool games to look forward to. I’m actually glad I bought a PS3 now, looks like it will get used a lot more in the next year…that is if I can ever get through the massive backlog of games I already have -_-. Thanks for putting all this content together, it was clearly a ton of work.
BluHawk007 said on July 16, 2012
I wonder when the E3 wrap up show and trailer will happen lol
