E3 2018 Thread

I will only play a Fallout MMO if it lets me play as a synth.

Playing as a rogue synth would be rather cool...

Yeah, Unreal engine is awesome... I'm happy to see that a good amount of rpg's are switching to this. For the longest, we've seen so many ugly Jrpg's in oarticular which have only used reskinned assets (Tales Of Games for example, or even my fav Jrpg series - Ys franchise). Unreal breathes life to that and really no Unreal game looks the same. I found that even each Arkham game looked vastly dissimilar though the engine, artists and characters stayed the same. Unreal engine is just an incredible beast, when I see how beautiful Soul Calibur 6 or Dragon Quest XI looks in 4k, I walk away impressed every time! :D

 

Also, I wish other studios picked up the Fox engine, what a nice engine that was as well.

Actually, the biggest adcantage of most jRPGs, is their graphics, including Tales of, Persona, Dragon Quest, Battlechasers, etc... Not every game has to look hyperrealistic. If studio spends all their resources on ultra fidelity, there are no resources left for other elements of the game, and we are left with a trainwreck of a game, like Final Fantasy 15, which happened to be everything, but jRPG...

Dragon Quest XI and Ni No Kuni 2 have already proven that Jrpg's can have rich graphics while also having amazing gameplay, these ones have put the rest to shame in both catagories in terms of Jrpg's in recent years. I would never want the genre to be boxed to one certain art style but rather evolve on the one they already use. Cel-Shading, for example, is my favotite art style, I much prefer that over photorealism or hyper-realism.

 

Edit for bad English, English is not my strong suit.

I wonder if this new Fallout is "Starfield"

 

Maybe some of the vaults were put on the moon/mars or something. Retro futurism in space? Atomic powered interstellar arks? I could buy that being part of the FO universe.

 

Wow, I'm getting myself hot just thinking about this, probably too good of and idea to be true. See? There I've done it, now I'll be disappointed if it's anything other than this...

[Gritino]

We'll have more at E3.

 

Until then, this is all we have.

 

 

Also, according to Kotaku, it's an online game of "some sort."

 

I really hope they just mean that it has an online feature to it; not that it's an MMO.

[injurai]

What better way for Bethesda to break into the battle royale genre than leveraging their survival franchise...

 

Should have seen this coming, if it manages to be online and it's not such a title, I'll laugh because if they are going to pull trite ****, it should at least be market justified. Maybe it will be more like GTA Online, in which case I'll be half impressed, the other half depends on if they make an honest RPG out of it.

It's probably a mobile game which you can trade stuff with other players.

[injurai]

You think it's a mobile trading game based on that teaser?

 

Am I to believe The Pokemon Company is setting the tone this year?

Unfortunatelly Ni No Kuni 2 is bad example. I loved 1st game, bit the second one is so easy, and with conjuction with open world design, it makes me fall asleep :'(

I'm sad we won't get any Snarkathons this year because TotalBiscuit is gone (for those not familiar, E3 Snarkathons were TB's MST3K style streams/videos where TB and Genna would riff on the presentations as they happened).  The Snarkathons were the only thing that could make EA's annual self congratulatory, tone deaf, and soul crushing presentation vaguely watchable and they made Ubisoft's goofy and ill-advised presentation all the more hilarious (we're laughing at you, Ubi, not with you).  Does anyone know of any other streamer or youtuber with a good (preferably dry) sense of humor that does a MST3K type stream/video that can make these terrible presentations somewhat palatable?

[Maedhros]

With Bioware being irrelevant for some years now, the only thing interesting for me this E3 will be CD Project Red's showing.

I really have no clue lol

 

Maybe it's a spin-off. Didn't feel mmo-ish to me though, at least.

The guy at Kotaku that said that it was a new Fallout game pretty much implied that it wasn't an MMO.

[Hurlshort]

Does everyone understand that the whole MMO craze passed about 5 years ago? 

[SonicMage117]

I understand that but that doesn't mean it can't happen. We all know how stupid Bethesda is hehe

ESO looks to me pretty successful, even though the craze is long over.

I doubt they would go poaching in their own hunting ground. A Fallout MMO would be self-inflicted competition for an already dwindling player base. Something that didn't work out for Sony with EQ and EQ2 running at the same time and that was when MMOs really took off.

Sure, I actually really enjoy ESO and have subbed regularly. But it came out close to 5 years ago. There hasn't been a major western release since.

MMO fad may have passed (they learned subscription-commitment isn't what people want), but games-as-service hasn't. Companies are going to continue to try to find ways to make a game monthly/annually profitable for longer (vs. just the initial game sales).

 

So basically appeal to people who have a lot of disposable income and don't mind buying all those pixel-thingies/bonuses/services which end up costing far more than a monthly subscription would. New mounts, new clothes, new weapons, storage space, new areas to conquer, new ships, whatever. Look how much money Star Citizen made and they haven't even come close to releasing it yet. Those people, that's what companies would love to have.

 

I'd actually be one of those people (to a point...) if I liked a game enough (I spent a fair amount on that NWN online f2p (haha) thing) but they always focus on online games so....no.

[Mamoulian War]

@hurlshot I see. Well, I have two friends, who play it a lot. But I am not very aware of current MMO market, so I thought it's much younger game. They both started playing it only this winter.

Now that's the stuff that gives life

 

[Katphood]

There is also a preview by Easy Allies:

 

[injurai]

I want to see more of the gameplay tooling, which was my favorite part of LBP. The sorts of level's people pulled off with that tooling was incredible, I hope they've pushed that even further for this. Right now we've mostly seen environment tooling.

[Katphood]

LBP was one of my favorite games of rhe last gen, so many community levels to choose from.

[SonicMage117]

Many of the best games these games are only on console, especially new IP, I'm guessing pc exclusivists hate that fact and that's why most have zero interest in E3. Still, as a PC main, I'm glad to own a PS4.

 

Would love to see a LBP, another Tearaway as well. These are the types of games that offer greater experiences than rpg's.

 

"How can a game without dialogue or combat have more depth and lore than an rpg?"

 

"Media Molecule, that's how".

 

 

 

 

 

I remember a true story that happened, funny but true....

 

"We can play console games on pc emulatiom"

 

Vita/PS4 gamer: "Yeah, good luck with trying to emulate them on a pc 10x's more powerful, good luck on that one"

 

Pc eletist/Recerse engineer with a couple master degrees: "Stupid pony"

 

Engineer emulates Uncharted 4 successfully at 15fps on quad Titans and 64gb of ram, pc burns out from too much stress on gpu's.

 

Next attempt, tries emulating a PS3 game, pc with twin 1080ti's and 64gb ram literally melts because it cannot compute alien technology that PS3 is (severely outdated cell tech running is still vastly superior to pc tech if today; PS3 is cell tech).

 

Third attempt, the guy manages to get a group of 25 of the world's most experienced members in reverse emgineering to work together to reverse engineer a simgle PS4 game. They successfully manage to emulate it at 20fps, they're playing the game and suddenly come to a certain part... They realize that it's not possible to emulate Vita, PS3 or PS4 games due to axis controls, aug reality dept, touchpad sequencing, etc.

 

Thus, no Vita, PS3, PS4 game can successfully be truly emulated. So sad lol The only real solution, play pc ad consoles

 

 

 

I'm a little tipsy, slaphappy and so I thought I'd share this with you guys. This will indeed be funny in 15-20 years as it will still be true. So funny!

 

 

 

Anyway, E3 gonna be GREAT this year! I'm watching the live streams, like I do every year. It's tradition for me, almost religious you see? Hehehehe
