So far the Microsoft conference was the best one. EA didn't fall entirely flat, but man that Ubisoft conference was horrible. PC Gaming conference was mediocre, but surprisingly better than last year's one. The host toned down his humor a lot and that went far, but the line up of games was kind of boring. Bethesda was also surprisingly shit and boring.
Hopefully Sony has some good shit lined up. I don't have faith in Nintendo at all though.
Aside from the conferences though, that Friday the 13th game is looking fucking sweet. It's hitting all the good spots for me since I used to be a fan of cheesy horror films when I was younger.

Trials of the Blood Dragon looks interesting.

I feel like my interests in games and film are boiling down to: "does it look like a cartoon I liked once? If yes, take my money."

But the jokes on them - I have no money!
 
I like Recore so far. It reminds me of the campy art style of Kameo mixed with the better aspects of Borderlands (without that headache inducing cel shading).
 
Shits given about VR: 0.

Which is funny, since Sony is selling a Batman and a Final Fantasy with VR capabilities. You'd think that'd be a wet dream.
 
Sony was kind of disappointing. God of War looked cool, but everything else was kind of weird. VR stuff was the worst. Also fuck, I was so excited when that guy came out on stage and the stage turned into that beach from Crash and you could see Crash's shadow walking behind him, but then it just turned out to be remasters.
Don't know what I think about Kojima's game. Guess I gotta wait and see. The audience seemed confused too, barely any applause after it.
 
Crash tended to run worse on newer consoles after the OG PS2 Phat. The fact I have no hopes for this remaster to run smoothly is what kills the hype.

Yellow marks for Persona 5 and Indie montage since it was part of their closing sizzle reel. So, they were there... technically but not really part of anything.

Anycase, I was expecting something amazing but.... eh. Their big game pushes were God of War, Horizon, and... Not-The-Last-of-Us... all of which were essentially third-person action games. GoW apparently isn't a hack n slash according to this trailer. Really, it felt like a montage of games wanting to fit into the Naughty Dog style of game.

Oh and of course there was VR... ZZZ. 50 games Andrew house says, and every one of them look to be essentially glorified tech demos. Resident Evil 7 however looks interesting, but like hell I'm buying a $400 VR set to play fucking Resident Evil.

And of Kojima appeared and there was much Kojima cock-gargling to be had.

Blank's Final Score: 7/10. A very safe Sony conference, and one that all the fantards will be a flutter for a day or two until they realize there wasn't a single fucking game that said "oh, new and unique" except Last Guardian (maybe) which just appeared to give a release date.

And here I thought Kojima managed to kick whatever habit he'd developed post-removal from Konami.

Little did I know...
 
I, for one, am very excited for Kojima's Norman Reedus mpreg C-Section simulator 2k16.
The sky men were a nice touch I think.

I didn't realize the CoD of Duty sequence was CoD, and I got super excited for space dogfights and jettisoning people into the vacuum of space. But then the logo came up and I was disappointed in myself. Maybe... it will be good? :|

I'm a huge RE sperg but I have mixed feelings about 7. I know 5 and 6 where hated because they detracted from the horror concept and went full action and I'm glad we are going back to the roots but a 1st person game? RE does not have a good track record with first person games.

Granted they've all be light gun games but still.

Hell yes, I can't wait for Dishonored 2! :heart-full:

Also South Park: The Fractured But Whole and Death Stranding

I'm also interested in Horizon: Zero Dawn and Detroit: Become Human. But I have mixed feelings about RE7- I need to see more.

A PS4 remaster of the first 3 Crash Bandicoot games sound good, but his Skylanders design looks hideous.

RE7 looks like another one of the million crappy first-person indie "horror" games floating around on Steam. How hard is it to make a RE game that isn't complete shit? How do they go from bad CoD ripoff to bad Amnesia/PT rip-off in the space of 2 games?

It's seems like after 4 they couldn't nail down what direction the franchise wanted to go in. Now maybe it was because I was a kid when I first played it but Re4 was scary. I still jump whenever I hear those chainsaw dudes. If they had kept that pace they might have been ok
