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

[DeadwastePrime]

we're probably gonna get some last of us 2 footage, something for death stranding probably, battle royal: the game, which would not surprise me if it became real, days gone trailer, state of decay 2 trailer, and bayonetta 3 trailer

 

[Kiwi Jeff]

Why do you losers watch this? It's non-gameplay footage trailers of games that won't be out for 18 months. How do you get excited for this. Don't you know how this works by now? They get you all riled up, and get youtube assholes to "talk" about their trailer reactions (they couldn't care less its just for views). All in the hopes you dopes keep pre-ordering..

Stop giving a fuck about games until they actually come out. You're like a guy who gets a match on tinder and immediately goes out and buys a wedding ring. You know this is just the marketing crews of major AAA companies trying to set off ur autism, to sell you the 9th iteration of a game you've already played. I'm probably being optimistic, but if you don't try to crucify a presenter for "not being a real gamer" I'll count it as an improvement.

You raise a good point, but E3 is pretty much just a glorified wrestling match now, so I imagine that's why most people watch.

that, and the trailers

 

[aqua sama]

there are really no big e3 announcements to be made in this day and age, so it got pretty boring.
I dont think I'll be watching it this year.

 

[jewelry investor]

I’d actually be amazed if that was the case. My understanding is that Firaxis really shat the bed with the lated Civ xpack, so X-COM is the more valuable property at this point.

XCom 2 The Legendary Edition.

No new content, it's just the base game + existing dlc
That would suck

 

[Mr. Duck]

Mainly i'd like to see Nintendo to show more about Metroid Prime 4.

Also, according to some rumors, Bethesda is going to show a sequel to their Doom reboot (god i hope they don't call it Doom 2).

 

[Ginger Piglet]

Hoping for Cyberpunk 2077 to manifest itself. If it did, I may actually genuinely for-real spunk myself. Although I appreciate it's likely to be a disappointment because the odds of it being as all round good as Witcher 3 are remote. It'll probably file under "tough act to follow."

Thing is, though, I'm not really sure what's coming up that I'm looking forward to other than CP77 and Vampyr and the Kingdom Come expansion or sequel. Anthem will be a microtransaction-laden mass of wanky shit. Ubishaft's oeuvre will continue to be more of the same and frankly Ubishaft can fuck themselves in the heart. EA will put out yet another iteration of its sports games - the only sports game I actually would play would be something like SWOS which is, for example, both football and football management rolled into one (i.e. you have a team and you play as it through each game in a season, trading players, trying to balance the books, and so forth, for a long period of time).

Oh yes. Maybe when Elite Dangerous update 3.3 drops with squadrons and player owned and operated megaships I'll get into that.

 

[FeverGlitch]

I just wanna see the Release Date for Kingdom Hearts 3, CP77 and The Last Of Us 2, hopefully showing some gameplay footage and cringe at different Developer and Speakers on the stage trying to be "hip and cool" by using memes or just being unfunny like ever.

 

[Done]

The Last Night is a game I want to see more of, because the premise and visual style both look very very promising, it's only the gameplay that we don't know much about..

I hope I'm wrong but I'm worried CDPR bit off more than they could chew with CP77. The Witcher 3 was fucking huge, well over a hundred hours and they said CP77 will be twice as big as TW3 plus seamless multiplayer?

That's nuts.

That's nuts.

Considering that W3 was larger both in breadth and depth than Skyrim by quite a margin, and the second expansion Blood & Wine was effectively a whole game in and of itself, and given that they'd not done anything that enormous beforehand, yet they pulled it off wonderfully, I think they might just manage it.

The biggest problem I see is the multiplayer. It sounds a bit like some sort of content tumour a bit like Mass Effect 3 and Andromeda's multiplayer.

Small bit of an update - it appears Square-Enix will be hosting a streaming video event this E3. If I recall correctly, while they have had an E3 presence over the years, they haven't had any conferences or "events" in a while, instead being happy to just be a part of other conferences like Sony and Microsoft.

The event is slated for June 11 (Monday) at 10am Pacific, 1pm Eastern where we get to learn about, "discover the exciting future of Square Enix."

So some things to probably expect would be: the latest Tomb Raider game, Kingdom Hearts 3, the Avengers game they're making the former Deus Ex team to work on, annnd probably also see how that FF7 remake is coming along, although recent rumors have been making it sound like its a complete and total trainwreck.

I went easy mode for my Nintendo E3 bingo this year:

My predictions:

[Dr. Kaufman]

 

[MacMasonry]

Where's the 60% of e3 is battle royale games" option

Only 60%? Oh no no no no, you are far too optimistic for the AAA game industry. I'd say 95%, and they'd all feel like copies CliffyB's Battle Royale

 

[PinstripeLuns]

Smash.
Smash is the only thing that matters at E3.

Possible YUGE leak today... apparently whoever helps run Walmart Canada spilled the beans today and released a lot of previously unannounced game titles onto their listings. The news has been swirling around, so just out of the sake of variety, here's the article from the International Business Times, because I didn't feel like giving Gamespot, IGN, or GamesRadar any more traffic today.

And just in case you don't feel like reading, here's a quick rundown of previously unannounced titles to possibly be expecting this E3:

Just Cause 4
Splinter Cell
Dragon Quest 2 (PS4/XBO)
LEGO DC Villans
Borderlands 3
Rage 2
Gears of War 5
Forza Horizons 5
Assassin's Creed

The Splinter Cell is speculating to be a reboot of the franchise, as people are speculating the Ass Creed game is probably the one rumored to be in Greece.

Personally out of the whole listing I'm probably most excited by Just Cause 4. JC3 was a phenomenal game, just with terrible, terrible frame rate issues.

It's real. It's boring enough and the official Rage Game Twitter account responded.

Every game will be a battle royale in the near future

Prime 4
Serious Sam 4
Division 2
Borderlands 3
Beyond Good and Evil 2
Kinda curious about Just Cause 4 since @_blank_ brought up that leak.

Hell, throw a surprise thing from EA and put Skate 4 on the list. Or at the very least, some type of skateboarding game? Thank God for THUGPro.
