Hah, please. I can add to the list:Bob_McMillan said:
-I have one of the Borderlands graphic novels, but have never played any of the games.
-I've read the first two Dragon Age novels, have one of the graphic novels, and the 'World of Thedas' sourcebook, and I've never played a Dragon Age game.
-I read the Doom 3 novels years before playing Doom 3.
-I read all most of the Diablo novels before playing the games (well, bar playing some of D2 when it was first released).
-I've read pretty much every Mass Effect novel and some of the comics, but have only ever really played the first game
-I've read the two Resistance novels, but have never played the games.
-I've kept up to date with WoW lore, reading comics and novels, even though I've barely played WoW, as it was the RTS games that got me into the setting.
And so on.
Not that I really care about either, but this is just one big fallacy.B-Cell said:
The time between reveal and release doesn't indicate anything unless you know when development began. You can't assume that either game had more or less development time than the other.
Also, complaining about changing the theme of Wolfenstein is a bit...odd, considering how the series went from isometric stealth (first two games), to FPS with a cybernetic theme (Id) to supernatural-themed (Raven Soft) to Machine Games' current take. Wolfenstein has always been about killing Nazis, but its tone has shifted wildly throughout its run.
Also, since the game takes place in the 1960s...what? You think there'd be songs from the 1940s?
Something more than just a palette swap.Samtemdo8 said:
Just going to another place or popular time in history isn't going to cut it anymore. It's the open-world, busy work type of gameplay Ubisoft has been applying to every fucking game they've made since Assassin's Creed 2 (2009) that needs to change. Like for example, add giant robot dinosaurs (Horizon: Zero Dawn), or make it all about the exploration (Zelda: Breath of the Wild). Something that feels NEW.
Right now it seems the only reason they took a one-year break with this series was not to reinvent it and make it fresh again, but so that hopefully the general public will have forgotten how bland this franchise had gotten.
For sure, loved the first game. But no worries, on the game's official page it's stated Mikami is the director again:Ezekiel said:
From mastermind Shinji Mikami, The Evil Within 2 is the latest evolution of survival horror.

I hope Ikumi Nakamura is also still involved though her creature designs were fantastic.
Watch the trailer for yourself. It really does just look like more Wolfenstein, but I'm fine with that.Leg End said:
My favorite bit was the constant reminder of "hey guys, hey do you remember Fallout 4 and Skyrim? Do you remember those games we made? Boy they sure are great right? We're totally not filling timetf2godz said:
". They basically just ran in circles and did nothing for half the damn conference showing games that have been out for quite some time now. "Hey look at this card game we released a while back. Know what it needs? It needs some Skyrim! Did that catch your attention? You guys remember Skyrim right? SKKYYYYYRRRRIIMMMMM". I actually like the Elder Scrolls Legends but eeeeehhhhhh. Come on Bethesda, stop it with the damn Skyrim already yeah? Microsoft's show was actually alright this year. When they showed Assassin's Creed though it really looked like a complete trainwreck. They did change things up a bit...but in ways that baffle me. The bird possession mechanic for example just ruins the nature of planning out an assassination. Why think about what you have to do, or have to think on your feet when you can just have a bird mark every single damn enemy in the area? The loot aspect just seems to be them desperately trying to latch onto something that will attract people to their game (look guys, LOOT! You people love loot right? I mean it's the hip thing now right?!?! Please love this one...please =(". Then there's the combat which...what the fuck was that? It looked so damn clunky and terrible...the animations were so damn stiff and...I just don't understand. I remember someone at Ubisoft last year saying they wanted Assassin's Creed to be truly different, that they wanted the gameplay to have dynamic moments that tell little stories. Well...that just looked like Assassin's Creed but Egypt and oh yeah there's loot n' magic birds this time. Unless there's a lot we're not seeing, I don't see it winning over fans that they've long lost.
Please, Please #2. I feel bad at work because I work with a big Souls fan. I'm currently playing BB for the first time and telling him about it. The reason I feel bad is because he owns an XBOX ONE(as well as a PC). So he can't play BB unless either he gets a PS4 or Sony releases it's BB hostage(Demons Souls would be nice too). Honestly, there's no real excuse for not letting FROM port Demons Souls considering the PS3 is now dead.Caramel Frappe said:
I want to let him borrow my PS4 and BB, but I can't do that until I finish it.
Never, NEVER listen to bcell, that's the first rule of this forum.Leg End said:

Yes because everyone knows 3+ years isn't enough to make a great game. Also did you even play the Metro games? There are tons of scripted events in those games.
He also forgot (or chose to ignore) the fact that that Metro: Exodus trailer was completely scripted and probably prerendered.BabyfartsMcgeezaks said:B-Cell said:

How have I not previously tweaked that Escapist is like, 90% hipsters?!
I mean, everything mainstream and popular is hated.
Sports are hated.
Please, look at this indie darling made by 3 people in their shed
What about this work, which is entirely driven by a passionate artist with no hooks from companies who care about profit.
Etc etc etc.
Hipsters everywhere!
Everything makes sense now!

I thought the Microsoft one was okay just because it got to the point and show decent variety. But yeah I hated the other two and I'll explain why.Elijin said:
EA was a whole lot of nothing but one inde game and Battlefront 2 (which was the game we already knew was coming out). I've always hated the sports segments because we already know that shit's coming out and it eats so much time. If EA wanted to show the sports games that should have been in the Montage fashion.
The Bethesda conference would have been good if it just announced Evil Within 2, Dishonored dlc and Wolfenstein 2. The presentation was awful and cringe inducing. Over two-thirds of it was stuff already released and then milking Skyrim. And the paid mods being back was just the icing on the top of the conference.
The worst part about those two conferences where they were mostly boring, there was nothing to even snark about. It was quite unpleasant experience.
I hope the last three conferences are at least interesting
