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

So apparently Anthem has no single player and DRM that requires you to always be online.

Looks like hot garbage.

Well, at least we finally have a release date for Kingdom Hearts 3.

I honestly thought we wouldn't get that this year.

 

[whatever I feel like]

They already told us that last year?

edit: This was in regards to Anthem being online only.

 

[Syaoran Li]

I hope to God that there aren't any more delays for KH3, although with this actual release date being put forth, the good news is that it's probably not getting any further delays.

I'm hoping we get to see some more information on Age of Empires 4 and of course, I'll be looking forward to the info on Fallout 76.

Did they? Haven't been following the news on it because I have zero interest in anything Bioware shits out.

Anthem is going to be a game that will be streamed for a week, journalists will be paid to praise it, then instantly be forgotten.

Bioware relies heavily on writing and story but all they've advertised is this generic "ancient ones" bullshit. People will come to realize that the Bioware we have now is not the Bioware of old, especially after the lead writer left in March

On a scale of 1-10, how cringey will Microsoft's conference be?
Placing all bets now!

 

[Capsaicin Addict]

Can't be worse than EA, but it is Microsoft... so they may rise to the challenge.

The game was rolled out as their answer to Destiny, the gameplay outlined required multiplayer, which requires online.

Edit: And just as a reminder, if you thought this year's conference was bad, the past two years' were both worse.

5. It won't be their worst conference ever, nor will it be their best.

 

[whatever I feel like]

How could it possibly cringe-pete with any of the Kinnect conferences? Gets a 3 out of 10 just because the bar is set so low now.

Eh, I'm gonna play it safe and say while I suspect there will be the usual cringey moments - probably showing off some fancy car on a pedestal, probably some scripted "gamers," and the near-guaranteed annual "Minecraft IZ SOOO COOOL" reminder- I'm hoping they don't try to be too cute and instead just focus on continuing to try to scramble out of the five-mile deep crater Don Mattrick and E3 2013 threw them in.

So... on a scale of 1 to 10, "1" being the equivalent to the joy I felt when Miyamoto revealed Twilight Princess or when Snake appeared in the first trailer for SSB:B, and a "10" being Aisha Tyler in a day-glo fluffy unicorn costume playing on a smartphone while screamin, "YA GONE DONE MY FUCKING LADYWOOD A HECKIN' CONCERN!!" I'm gonna say... "4." (Yes, I'm being woefully optimistic)

Unless Microsoft decides to try to show off some new gimmick or useless peripheral like Kinect 3.0 or whatever the fuck that Smartglass thing was a couple years back. Then it automatically defaults to at least a "6."

Agreed. Glad they dropped the Kinect like hot garbage. I still remember that one conference where they had the little kids up on stage chasing Captain Hook or some shit.

I don't think they can out do EA and Spencer isn't usually that cringe just a little CEOy but there will probably be a RP multiplayer segment so a 6.

The first trailer made it look like a Destiny knockoff with an even more generic storyline and worse FPS mechanics. Everything they've released since then has confirmed that.

Probably 5/10, microsoft is like EA in that they will market their safe IPs like they are big announcements. More Halo and Forza in 4k as the highlight. Presentations will be boring as they do not want to repeat the shitshow that was E3 2013.

 

[Nazi vegeta]

Im starting to get the feeling that ms might have its first decent conference of the gen.
Too much silence, means they've been super careful with the leaks till now.

still, I think they are incompetent faggots, so in the end nothing will change, especially not this late in the generation.

 

[Trans Fat 41g]

Go to N4G's comments sections lol I don't think Microsoft had great E3's lately but god damn did Sony overrate their last one, expect to get downvoted there if you keep your expectations neutral with Sony.

 

[Piplup]

wonder if mc is going going to have another random car on stage with a stupid name
never forget the 911 car 7

Can't wait for copies of Anthem, Destiny, Destiny 2 and all those other online only games to litter used game bins for the rest of eternity.
