E3 2021 Griefing Thread - Now with more nigger pandering, does anyone even care about most of the games displayed here seriously? (Spoiler alert Nintendo won lol)

That's just a general trend in most media I think. It's kinda how mid-budget films have died, now it's either indieshit or a spectacle. Maybe streaming services have alleviated this a bit, but then you're chained to a whole other beast.

The biggest problem is that building a big studio that makes big games is nearly impossible today. Making that small studio -> big studio jump isn't happening with the middle missing unless you have connections that are willing to take a risk on you (not the game).

Game industry (especially in the US) is just Hollywood now, either you ask Uncle Ezekiel for a career in the entertainment industry at your Bar Mitzvah or you're pretty much shit out of luck.

I'd blame game journos for mid-budget games dying. They never report on anything that doesn't relate to a big studio or their fuck buddies in the indie scene. A close second is big studios buying promising new studios and killing them after making them create shitty spinoffs of their franchises.

Kojima wanted to be a Hollywood director so bad he spent a career dick sucking them, only to end it with Death Stranding.

Launching holiday 2021 - XSS and XSX only

This would be the funniest prediction to come true as it would not only mean they completely lied like Sony, but that the two of them somehow took the complete opposite stances of what they promised.

Microsoft have already lied. I can't play The Medium on my X1X, despite Xbox telling me that all games will be cross-gen.

No way will the full Halo game be available on the X1. AT BEST it will be online MP running 720p@30fps.

Sony going cross-gen is a shitty move but with 120+ million ps4 sales, and them struggling to get enough PS5's made, i can understand it in the short-term.

Phil SPencer should be sacked. He's a fat, useless, 5-pence-face-on-a-50-pence-head, smirking twat. And i never thought i would say this but....Mattrick was better. Mattrick was a suit, but at least he had a direction. It was a shitty one, and totally retarded, but he knew what he wanted and how to get it. Spencer is just a tit.

Have they moved past the rhetoric that the xbox is not for 'muh gaming' but an overpriced multimedia system for watching netflix and blu rays

I mean I don't know why they keep saying this at the gaming convention, seems like you should be saying that part quiet

Watching E3 for the Game announcements < Watching E3 for the cringe and laughing at it.
Real talk though, E3 isn't really a good barometer of the industry's health and probably never will be. There have been games that I have learned about from E3 (new blood's ultra kill is a great example of that) but really what made E3 special was the fact it was a bunch of dorks on stage who should have never been on there trying to market their product. RIDGE RACER, Konami's shit show one year, and Wii music immediately come to mind when I think of the event. but as E3 got bigger, they kept trying to minimize the cringe by bringing in licensed music, out of place celebrities', sponsorships, Ect. but this didn't get rid of the cringe, in fact it only made it evolve in a new way because much like a Yuppie trying to be a Wall street business man, there is just an inherent out of touch factor in many of these companies presentations.
So look out for some good gems you would lose out on in this Cacoughany of ads and just grab some popcorn to live a little at this industry trying to attract investor cash.

Classic gaming is wonderful but if current games cease to be worth it then we've really lost something major, it's not like movies or books where it doesn't matter as much if current stuff goes to shit as there's not a real fundamental difference between watching a movie from decades ago and a movie today and of course there's zero difference between a book written centuries ago and one written today, it's still words on paper, but video games being very tied into technology is something different.

I kinda understand what you’re getting at, but to me it just further underscores the disadvantage video games are at as a source of entertainment and why they’ll never be considered high art. I’m an avid reader and I assure you that this explosion of woke entertainment is not confined to video games. Instead of bemoaning the state of the big house publishing industry, I just find something else to read. And though I understand that there’s a ton of crap, I have a hard time believing that it would be impossible to find something good to play. And as far as an aversion to classic gaming, if you can’t pick up something from 15-20 years ago and can’t enjoy it because of aesthetics, you might want to reconsider dedicating yourself so thoroughly to this medium. It sounds unbearably limiting.

Haha EA release new sport ball with bigger number

Millions pls

I think this video describes best how utter shit gaming now:

There are no new games, and the amount of game studios dropped. The indie scene is a cancer that's actively hurting everything around it. AAA is focused on making you buy and play a single game each year.

The problem here is that there is no middle class of anything anymore. You see it in nearly every industry, I would argue even clothing.

It just hit video games especially hard because you can clearly see the slowdown in terms of quantity of solid but not amazing games released.

I am actually kinda excited for Square's stream. They tend to know what's up and just show the dam games. Also, razor thinks there's a slight possibility for another deus ex.

There's a TV fire stick coming where you can stream gamepass games via xCloud.

Still no console exclusives for either of the two next gen xbox Consoles, which in itself was a retarded idea.

Microsoft have gone from one of, if not the greatest period of console gaming, to an American Big tech money grabbing liars.

The death of b tier gaming has been hard to watch. IMO gamepass should have been a place for b tier devs to create games at a price they can afford. Operencia: The stolen sun and battle chasers were the best games I played last gen. Both b tier gamepass games

You realize you're complaining about Asians making video games, right? I understand what you meant, but I'm not sure that would necessarily be due to corporate diversity (maybe?). I do think my pointing out the irony of including Asians in your list is kind of funny though.

when i said Asian in this context, i meant the Canadian/French kind. not the Japanese kind.

 

[verissimus]

Not sure if it was mentioned before, but I hope Nintendo gives us some kind of actual news about Breath of the Wild 2 and Metroid Prime 4 (which I'm more interested in). I'm sure there will probably be some Smash thing. Almost always seems to be.

Looks like GameStop stole Nintendo's thunder.

1st party games, not all games. Stop getting hyped and pay attention to the actual words and they might not hoodwink you as much.

lad that's just an retail gamestore offer event unrelated to the whole thing, especially when the offer is ending on the next four days after the direct.



Switch Pro-fags are truly getting desperate

The word New is capitalized. The marketing material wouldn't make a mistake like that.

 

[X Pac Heat]

Every one of these deals is always for a "New" system, fucking retards.

And if this is an actual leak, suicide watch for all the retards who thought it'd be a new system and not a simple revision. Unless we actually think Nintendo would be dumb enough to pull a Sega on their super hardcore gonna have all the exclusives revision/new console/whatever the fuck everyone keeps thinking it will be.
