E3 2018 - A year of Mobile Games, Dancing Pandas, and Homeless Banjo Players - Did E3 2018 make all your dreams/nightmares come true?

[Sable]

LGP was always going to be casual.

 

[whatever I feel like]

I just don't understand how you can be more casual than base Pokemon, every year one comes out its guaranteed top five in the sales charts.

Also Go catching mechanics is absolutely retarded, the only reason people were interested in Go was the "in real life" aspect of it. Divorce it from that and it becomes incredibly boring. Oh well, its a game that is not for me.

 

[Sable]

What's funny is as far as I can tell (at least from what we've seen, maybe I'll be wrong) is this also strips away a lot of the autistic non-casual stuff that keeps people playing.

I don't really mind it existing- it might draw some new players in, and there's an actual game in 2019.

 

[Muncie Anderson]

The new Smash looks like everything I've ever wanted from a Smash. Snake returning. That echo fighter system. Worthwhile new mechanics. DECENT FUCKING GIMMICK STAGES LIKE MELEE HAD INSTEAD OF AUTO SCROLL BULLSHIT.

Damn right. The roster is amazing, but I wonder if they'll add another ten or twelve new characters between now and December. Actually, I kind of hope they do.

Gamexplain made a compilation of all the short trailers from the smash bros site:

Couple other trailers to come out this E3:

Soul Calibur 6 confirmed to be coming out October 19, meaning it will be releasing the same day Battlefield V does. Also, Taki is confirmed, no word on Talim (yet).

Kinda cheating since Hitman 2 this was announced last week, but since this is the only game I was really wanting to be hearing about at E3, fuck it. Here's a new trailer for the Miami map - and for those of who who bellyached about the episodic releases last time- you're getting all maps released at the same time. You're welcome. Now buy the damn game this time.

 

[Trans Fat 41g]

Yeah Miami is the perfect place for a Hitman game.

 

[Black Waltz]

I like how ridley straight up murders mario and megaman

 

[Stahl]

Yeah Miami is the perfect place for a Hitman game.

I just can't see a Hitman mission in Miami being any fun. A mission like that would mean you'll wander around trying to figure out what to do, only to watch your target kill themselves by sticking their dick in a car's exhaust pipe or something.

I mean, what else would you expect from a mission where you're sent to kill Florida Man?

A mission like that would mean you'll wander around trying to figure out what to do, only to watch your target kill themselves by sticking their dick in a car's exhaust pipe or something.

Fortunately, they've found a novel solution to that problem by making the target a woman.

OOOH BIIITCHHH!!!

He looks amazing. I'm honestly loving how gorgeous the game looks — I hope we'll get alternative skins for Ganondorf, Zelda, and Link so we can change 'em into their incantations' appearances. It's good to be a Nintendo fan rn.

 

[LofaSofa]

Where the fuck is Waluigi

 

[Ruin]

Where the fuck is Waluigi

Where the fuck is Wario and why is he not taking my money for another Warioware game?

 

[Overcast]

Where the fuck is Wario and why is he not taking my money for another Warioware game?

There's going to be a new Warioware for the 3DS this August.

 

[Nazi vegeta]

looks ok but I would have liked more a camera a la Re 3.5.
It would have been a decent compromise.
this one ots, I think it gets too close sometimes. Seriously, why the fuck did they have to go for the casual market, in a game where your main audiece was asking for fixed camer angles?

 

[Black Waltz]

I'm surprised snake is in smash again, I thought konami wouldn't allow it because they want to forget about metal gear

 

[The Great Chandler]

I'm surprised Microsoft decided to turn a new leaf considering what they done.

 

[whatever I feel like]

Where the fuck is Waluigi

In the assist trophy roster, where he belongs.

Also, Konami doesn't want to forget Metal Gear, they just want to turn it into a generic property to farm out to journeyman studios for quick cash.

It's more of a reimagining then a direct remake.

The re4 camera style is actually a nice direction imo.

woah, violence against women? cant have that in a game
