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)

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

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Jesus fuck, marketing is flawless huh?

This regularly shows up in Magic the Gathering marketing(or it did a couple years ago, Wizards might of fixed it by now). Now if you're not a physical game sperg there is no purple pip on the back of Magic cards, that's a fan mock up on an April Fool's issue of Inquest from the late 90's about Wizards adding a sixth color to the game.

However, if you Google "Magic the Gathering card back" it's one of the top 5 results and of the highest resolution by far, and marketing is often done by a separate company that will use online resources instead of bugging the company for it. (When I read up about this, it was said that it was common practice to tell marketing companies that generic images could be sourced online rather than giving them everything they could need, but I don't know how true that is)

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

Hyped? Not for over a decade pal.

Pay attention to the actual words? Fuck Microsoft for their double-speak and sly linguistics, which they do on purpose to confuse people and give them wiggle room to backtrack.

Saying "Our First Party Titles will be Cross Gen" isn't double speak or sly linguistics, dude.

Microsoft fucking sucks, but it was pretty obvious what they meant. Microsoft can't guarantee any games they don't produce will be cross generational.

Fair enough.

What pisses me off about Microsoft, is that they used to be the best by a country mile(IMO) then pissed it all away sometime around 2010, and have never got it back. The last decade of Xbox has been the worst console experience i've seen/had. But because the big bucks keep rolling in from Daddy Microsoft, the Xbox division can be used for R&D, a backdoor in to streaming, a back door in to introducing mobile games to console in a major way and a tax write-off.

Microsoft’s incompetence shouldn’t surprise anyone after they rushed out the 360 with a ~50% failure rate.

Do people really think Elder Scrolls VI is going to be shown today? I'm seeing it a lot on other forums and I'm just confused as to why anyone thinks considering they said Starfield was the next game and we went through a whole year of Covid set backs...

I'm cautiously optimistic Starfirld isn't a train wreck. I want to know more.

Yeah while I don't think Starfield is going to be a GOAT or anything, I'm interested in it. Like I thought Fallout 4 was a disappointment but still had fun with it but at the same time I can only imagine how wonky Bethesda physics will work in a space game...

 

[Fuck Y'all]

Even if it will be a train wreck, it will be a good occasion for Toddposting tho

I just want to know if it's gonna be running on gamebryo 3.0 because bethesda wants to keep the engine around lol

Silver lining is if it has the level of Bethesda lack of polish as of late we can look forward to some amazing Mass Effect Andromeda level of memes.

It absolutely will.

Despite what people think, Bethesda re configuring the engine isn't something abnormal in the industry. At this point they're too used to the thing to go with something entirely new.

 

[Robotic Richard Simmons]

Phil's shelf. Nice switch Phil.

 

[Evil Peter Griffin]

Todd Howard will save e3.

 

[X Pac Heat]

Tell me lies, Todd.

 

[Robotic Richard Simmons]

Todd is probably 1/3 of the reason to watch these ass patting press conferences.

 

[Bastard_Call]

It absolutely will.

It's not uncommon but most devs that stick to a single engine for ages stick to it because it's reliable. If it ain't broke don't fix it? Well Gamebryo 3.0 is absolutely broken. That or Bethesda are so incompetent that they struggle to work with an engine that they've used for decades. Either way it's not an incredible look for them.

Your Reaction if Todd comes out and all he talks about is an Elder Scrolls and/or Fallout movie they're producing?

I'm already ready for that the Halo TV show to be the cornerstone of this Xbox showcase.

Nuke bethesda

It would just confirm my suspicions that E3 hasn't been about vidya in years
