E3 2017 thread

I hate everything about Bethesda set up, it's so much cringe

EDIT: We know all about this, All of these games are released, move on Bethesda.

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 time ". 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.

Devolver doing an all night pre pre show. Presumably because nobody else is using this time, and Devolver saw an opportunity.
It's like a 8-hour live Tim and Eric marathon with some of the most random and sometimes artsy stuff ever.

Super unrealistic but i'm hoping that From Software either does two things ....

1. Announce another IP / game they're working on.
2. Release Bloodborne onto the PC / other consoles

Very unlikely, hell I don't even know if they're attending this year's E3 but one could only dream.

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.

I want to let him borrow my PS4 and BB, but I can't do that until I finish it.

The new Wolfenstein looks pretty good

New Wolfenstein looks pretty bad

I'm getting conflicting signals.

Never, NEVER listen to bcell, that's the first rule of this forum.

New Wolfenstein looks pretty bad. Looks exact same as new order. and look another game announced with release date few month later. no more extra development time.

Now look at Metro Exodus. its a deep ambitious project and its getting release by the end of next year to make sure it will be masterpiece.

machinegames just change the entire theme of wolfenstein game. now look at music. RTCW has one of the GOAT soundtrack and feel like badass. not this some shitty 60s songs with more and more cinematic and scripted events.

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.

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.

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

Has there been any AAA NEW IPs announced so far or are we seeing nothing but sequels, spin-offs, DLCs, and reboots from big companies?

 

[MHR]

Devolver Digital on the E3 stream showing an entire original movie called Wolfcop during their "prepreshow."

 

[Godzillarich(aka tf2godz)]

Hey guys I found people being stupid, want to see it? well too bad here you go.

Spoiler

 

[Rangaman]

Microsoft's conference seemed pretty good. Ashen, The Artful Escape, The Last Night, Deep Rock Galactic and the new Ori game have my interest. It seems like Cuphead, Sea of Thieves and Crackdown 3 are coming along nicely as well. I don't have much to say about the Xbox One X, seeing as how I don't intend to purchase it.

Bethesda's conference was just...sad. The two biggest announcements were a decent-looking new Wolfenstein (which simultaneously triggered the Alt-Right and B-Cell) and The Evil Within 2 (bleh). Oh, I can dress my Skyrim avatar as Link now. Great. Totally worth the $70. All in all, the conference definitely wasn't "fucking bananas".

State of Decay 2 looked boring.

Can we have a Zombie game that has other monsters than just Zombies, it pisses me off when people write off the older Resident Evil games as just zombie games completely ignoring other mosters like the Hunters, Lickers, Tyrants, Giant and Zombifyed Animals, etc.

What is Digital Devolver supposed to be?

Bioware's new IP Anthem

and some new games I can't remember the name of (fortnight? and The last night?) there were some sprinkled in there

I dunno if I'd call Fortnite AAA. Epic certainly has the resources for AAA, but seems to have mostly dropped down to smaller style projects since the days of Gears and mainstream Unreal (There is new Unreal Tournament, but its not nearly as marketed).

I really think Anthem was probably Mass Effect : Online, and ate a hasty name change after Andromeda half-flopped.

You do know you're being a hipster yourself by going against that "90%" with this comment, right?

just saw the trailer.. caught my eye and i liked the first game..on pc coming to windows 10 only.. fuck you microsoft

Actually it's worse. Anthem is what the main Bioware team was working on and why they shuttled mass effect off to a new team.

Anthem wasn't mass effect, but they did sacrifice mass effect to make it.

Which makes it all the more painful seeing that it's an even more bland destiny clone

honestly i think you might be onto something there.. sad to see thats where the team went.

i would of loved to of been in that meeting "as our premier RPG team we have a special surprise for you guys, you will be working not on the new mass effect game but instead on a destiny clone.. i know.. i know.. from the silence i can tell you are speechless in excitement"

Wolfenstein II?

Isnt it like, the third or fourth? Cause though its not obvious, one of the older ones the 2009 one I think, is canon to The New Order. Thats where that woman in a wheelchair came from anyways.
