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

[DeadwastePrime]

hopefully the people behind division learned from the first one and improve on it

 

[CHEEEEEN]

I'm hoping to see God Eater 3, Code Vein and Kingdom Hearts 3

 

[tehpope]

Maybe some Smash for Switch footage, a release date for it. Mario Makers for the Switch. Doubtful, but maybe some news about Resident Evil 2 Remake? Maybe a release date for Shenmue 1&2 and 3 lolno Deep Silver delayed it to 2019.

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.

Forza Horizon 5? Where's 4? The last one released was 3. FF7 on the Xbone would be great.

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).

Its gonna be called doom 5, using a roman numeral inside of a pentagram.

I stole this from Joel on vinesauce.

-New forza horizon
-Beyond good and evil 2 more details
-Smash gameplay
-I'm optimistic here, but a pokemon switch announcement with a christmas holiday release date

"The highly anticipated meeting between Kim Jong Un and myself will take place in Singapore on June 12th. We will both try to make it a very special moment for World Peace!"

but what's more worth seeing now?

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.

Gonna powerlevel here, just because I feel like it. I have a MASSIVE hateboner for Microsoft as a result of giving them a fair shot and their fuckbox 360s being glorified plastic toys after going through several and them dying on me one after another. Last E3 was utterly showered in "EXCLUSIVE" and "WORLD PREMIER" at the beginning of every fucking announcement, and it was a dumpster fire. I'm tuning in with genuine hope that this year it's the same as last year. I've disliked them ever since the E3 where they announced their Xbox One was going to be the centerpiece of your home entertainment center and what everyone talks about around the watercooler. Just make a fucking good console, not some multipurpose toy with sacrificed potential for the sake of more unnecessary functionality.

I never tune in to buy, and I never pre-order. I tune in because lately it's like a comedy skit where I can laugh at the pisspoor attempts to market their crap at sheeple with some actual decent reveals thrown in as a bonus, and I find more often than not those come from Sony or Nintendo rather than MS.

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.

Rage 2, Borderlands 3, Gears 5, and Just Cause 4 would be cool. Fingers crossed.

Why do you losers watch this?

For the one mirrion troops. WOOOOW

I'll just watch metokur's stream, if he does one.
couldnt care less about the huge pr wankfest that is e3 at this point.
It's so incredibly childish and at the same time, manages to feel extremely corporate, that it disgusts me.

Same, I actually wait for the supercut since its the most hilarious cringy thing. It's literally what PR and marketers think of videogame players, you get to see what goes on in their brains.

Rage 2 Announcement trailer has been released, gameplay trailer released tomorrow.

I'm intrigued, if only because they used Andrew WK 's "Ready to Die." Looks like Mad Max meets Sunset Overdrive. Still, gonna need to see they gameplay before I say much more about it. Alo gonna have to fire up the copy of Rage which has been sitting in my backlog for years...

God, Microsoft's E3 2013 was a fucking dumpster fire of a presentation. I was going into it, honestly excited to see what they would be showing off. Left felt completely sucker punched, doubly so after Sony's presentation later that day which was essentially them running a clinic on Microsoft for 90 minutes. This was probably also the point where I stopped being excited about E3's and now watch them for equal parts entertainment, and for the cringe factor.

All the same, I will give credit for Microsoft for eating crow in 2014 and attempting to turn things around. Not trying to convince you of anything, nor do I believe that they are gonna "win" this generation, but compared to how things were looking, they've been making substantial moves to try and win back players, esp. with backward compatability. Now if they can just get some actual new exclusive titles...

Rage was an idiotic, bland mashup of incompatible gameplay ideas and a throwaway plot, in a completely overdone world setting (post-apocalyptic desert). If Bethsoft is bringing back IP's nobody cares about they should just do a Quake reboot. At least that would be fun.

 

[Sable]

I hope we hear more about Shadows Die Twice.

 

[Frosted Snowflakes]

Oh shit....

 

[ASoulMan]

Oh shit....

They better talk about that Final Fantasy 7 remake.

 

[aqua sama]

was anyone even asking for a rage sequel?

 

[OhGoy]

Anyone want to take a guess as to how many (or how few, in this case) new IP's there will be that aren't made by indie developers? Considering how rare they are these days, I'm always ecstatic to see a AAA developer come up with a brand new game rather than taking the easy way out. It shows they don't care about money and they actually give a shit about making video games. At the very least, it demonstrates that they're at least willing to take risks.

This isn't to say that sequels are bad, far from it. It's just that, for every new IP by a big-name developer, there's several dozen sequels/prequels/reboots/remasters/remakes of already existing franchises.

So a Bethesda game?

 

[Trans Fat 41g]

Microsoft: The press will shit on it regardless if it's boring or not
Nintendo: The autism will be rich
Sony: People will senpai-noticed Sony's ass cheeks regardless of any valid criticism
Everyone Else: Be something nostalgia-wanks will never be give a chance
Miscellaneous: Some SJW-themed detritus

 

[AllMightyCow]

If Nintendo does end up announcing another Smash Brothers, it's going to be annoying seeing all of the Tumblrinas sperging over "how great it is" for months

Let's see... my guess:
Microsoft - If we're lucky... maybe one. However, I suspect the show will be eerily similar to previous years (Forza, Gears, Crackdown, Tomb Raider (maybe).

Sony - They've made mention they're going to be focusing only on their big 4 - Death Stranding, Last of Us 2, SpiderMan, and Ghost of Tsushima. So, two are new IPs (unless I'm mistaken about Tsushima)... but then again, that's half of their show, so take of that what you will.

EA - Anthem, I guess.

Ubisoft - I sincerely doubt it. They are sequel whores.

Bethesda - Lot of speculation about this "Starfield" game that's been kicked around in the rumor pit.

Square-Enix - Ehhh... doubtful. Probably a lot of hyping for Kingdom Hearts 3, Tomb Raider: Predator Mode, and the FF7 remake. However, they have that "Left Alive" title people have largely forgotten, and there is some speculation that they might show off whatever the People Can Fly studio has been working on for them. So... maybe two or three...?
