So that's the show.

Really nothing special and the "world premieres" were kind of weak this year imo. Notable games are pretty minimal from what peaked my interest basically only Hades 2 and FF16. Armored Core 6 im sure freaked people out but it really doesn't look like anything I'd be interested, but if you guys are hyped then let's get hyped anyway fuck it!

You say that and then you realize Patches drew penises all over your mech or something. IDK what patches does in the AC games

Valiant Hearts Coming Home. Finally a sequel to an amazing emotional game. I'm ready to cry again

I am being careful with Judas. Not falling for "From the creators of..." trick again

Jedi Fallen Order looks interesting. Maybe more force powers like mind trick, sense, and speed? Looks like it'll be more open world? Kinda wish Cal would starting tapping into dark side powers like choke, and lightning

Sky Aurora looks really wholesome. Might re-kindle my love for multiplayer games

We got a release date on Diablo 4. Say what you will about Acti-Blizz, I hate them too, but they absolutely rock at making cinematics. Still not gonna pre-order.

WH40k Space Marine 2! Glory to the Imperium!

I wanna get super fucking hype, but 5 was awful and the image of a mech with a backpack or something makes me worried they're trying to take it in another direction (possibly more souls like).

Hades 2 is great since the first was awesome, just wish for a few more dungeon this time around, doing the same 4 over and over got old after awhile, especially since most arena were the same one all the time and always fighting the same boss.

Just watched the DS2 trailer, and had a moment of realization when the words, "Edited by Hideo Kojima" appeared and it synced perfectly with the most preposterous, SMH-worthy moment of perhaps any trailer he's made to date, that he's achieved a whole new level of auteurism psychosis. And damned if it wasn't garnished with the vocals of Troy Baker (please tell me that was him)...I'd actually be somewhat disappointed by it all.

Steam page as a few more stuff apparently announced at the same time.

They're making a dune MMORPG... why?

They're making an anime MMORPG... why?

They're making an indie MMORPG... why?

Returnal getting ported to PC (I guess that was announced then?)

Sequel to remnant (the gun soulsborne, it was decent)

Judas, I'm happy to get more immersive sim, but this looks too much like re heated bioshock.

Lol at Stray winning the indie categories. I haven't even played any of the other contenders and am still confident they're all better games.

As for the announcements, aka the only thing of note, nope for everything. Except Armored Core, Hades, Earthblade, maybe Space Marine 2. They go on the "maybe" pile.
