Official E3 Thread (I forged the paperwork)

[SonicMage117]

Well... the pc show is lucky it was before Ubi's show and not after. Following would probably be a pretty bad idea. Valve is going to start publishing which means that either next year or the year after, the PC shows will be much, much better but at least this pc show has actually interacted with the audience and made use of the stage unlike Microsoft, EA and Bethesda.

 

It's important to not base E3 as a wholly on presentations, but on the floors too because the old E3 shows were just as horrible if not more horrible, to get the full experience one has to go and be on the floor - otherwise you probably won't appreciate E3.

 

The 8-bit strategy game they're currently showing looks weird...

[LittleRose]

I know, but this is dull

 

However, they're just showing a perfect present for my brother.

[injurai]

Age of Empires: Definitive Edition

 

 

 

 

 

Microsoft is redeemed!

[LittleRose]

I just told my brother about the remake of his favorite strategy game. He doesn't care. *sigh*

[injurai]

I still don't understand why Microsoft had to gut their PC division when most of it's games didn't infringe on the Xbox's market. I'm hoping AoE4 or AoM2 is whatever ends up announced at Gamescon.

[Flouride]

Sounds like Bethesda wasted everyone's time and pissed everyone off by re-introducing paid mods but just calling it something else. Not a word about Starfield. And I suspect no one on this board will live long enough to see ES VI or Fallout V the way they talk about it.

 

I don't think half of the people on these forums would mind if they never saw a Fallout 5 from Bethesda if anything they would rejoice.

[Darkpriest]

Holy mother of jesus f*** christ!!!!

I so want this NOW:

 

[Rosbjerg]

Hmm that might persuade me to give it a second chance.

I'm thinking about accepting Uplay und my next computer. That was fantastic. Finally something I like.

[SonicMage117]

Well... it should be pretty clear by now that Ubisoft had the best presentation by far. And yeah. Beyond Good and Evil 2... well I've been waiting for that for years lol

 

Alotta great games from Ubisoft. Far Cry 5 looked amazing as well.

Skull & Bones and Beyond Good and Evil 2 look very promising. And South Park of course. The rest... Eh. I wish we could get some actual gameplay footage in these trailers and not just some completely unrepresentative cinematic, but hey, that's how you sell I guess.

Wonder if Ancel will be back on the stage for that caveman game with the giant snake lady in the Sony press conference.

[injurai]

Skull & Bones is solid decision by Ubi.

 

BG&E2 was the biggest surprise, but I don't like what I'm hearing... Ancel seems to have moved onto WiLD anyways. His first passion project has been co-opted by corporate it seems.

 

As of now AC:O is the title from them that I most expect to really love. But BGE2 could surprise I guess... Just the whole reveal felt very "off"

[Malcador]

[Keyrock]

So the Ubisoft presentation was surprisingly not completely cringe.  Beyond Good & Evil 2 was obviously the big surprise.  I'm torn.  I'm happy that this is still a thing and it has definite potential, but it's just such a different direction than I expected.  Of course, now we won't hear anything about the game for several years. 

[SonicMage117]

Ubisoft is smart, they played their cards right.

 

Well, we got 2 games everyone wanted... Bubsy and Beyond Good and Evil 2. That's better than Half Life 3 lol

 

Now I want more info on Sonic Forces and those beautiful physics it uses for the puzzles.

It's from Klei, so of course I'm interested.

HL3 is always better. But I'm pretty sure OG Valve is dead. So whatever, HL3 will probably never happen in the way we want. I don't know if Source is even up to a premier single-player experience when IdTech6 and Frostbite are so far ahead technology wise.

Sony press conference was a bit lacklustre. I want that Shadow of the Colossus remaster and God of War looks good, but other than that I wasn't particularly convinced.

[Keyrock]

The Spiderman game looked impressive...  in that heavily scripted sequence.  I wonder what the majority of gameplay will be like?

Mixtue of non-linear and linear inside an open-world sandbox. The story missions will be linear, with scripted parts... kinda like Tomb Raider and Uncharted games while allowing you to have the freedom of past Spiderman games. Of course this map of New York Ciry is going to dwarf the past Spiderman games and that's saying something because Spiderman 2 the video game has a massive map. Someone made a great comparison that Spiderman is a mixture of Batman Arkham City, Uncharted and Watch Dogs and I think that's spot on. It's going to be a phenomenal game and it's made by Insomniac who's never really made a bad game.

 

Overall about E3...

 

I think Sony and Ubi had the best presentations so far, the fact that Sony stuck to exclusives that will never be on pc is a good thing. They didn't disappoint Ubisoft just surpirsed everyone with how good they can continue to be. They are versatile and know where they want to go. I respect them for that.

 

But did anyone notice that this years E3 was severely lacking the usual emphasis on rpg's that E3 usually possesses... but it's nice to see action/adventure games like Spider-Man and Beyond Good and Evil get some eyes.

 

Microsoft focused on hardware, and Sony focused on software. It's a shame that Microsoft focused on so much that has already been on pc and trying to make them look like something new. I wouldn't even want to talk about the Devolver or PC shows...

[injurai]

For me God of War is by far the best thing of the whole conference.

 

I'm surprised over no Sucker Punch or From Software.

[Katphood]

Sony's conference was good but I was hoping for a few more surprises. 

 

Also, that God of War game...I am glad the kid didn't drop the N word while talking to Kratos. Where the heck was he raised in, New Jersey? That accent and personality belongs to a Kingdom Hearts game. The game still looks fantastic though. 

 

Overall I think Bethesda has held the best conference so far, they introduced Wolfenstein II and The Evil Within 2 which were the highlights of this e3 for me. That Creation thing sucks though, Fallout 4 took all the fun away from modding beths games.
