    I want to get rid of my Xbox so bad now that they're going heavy on putting all their stuff on PC

    But I am tied by the iron chain that is Rock Band

    I really don't know what Nintendo is doing anymore.

    But if it means more puppets then I'm game.

    They better have something like that for the NX reveal.

    Anyhoo, any word on Square-Enix? They're doing a ton of stuff this year, and I'm also curious about World of Final Fantasy and Dissidia.

    Isn't there a PC version of Rock Band on the way or something?

    But yeah, this is a huge reason I've never seen the point of the XBox.

    I love the xbox exclusives so far, I like the pad and I like playing on a couch. Mainly now with consoles its about what console your friends have. All my friends have an xbox one so thats where I am

    I don't think the PS5 is going to be very cheap.

    They actually double-downed on the 2016 release. We'll see if it holds. (I hope it does, stoked for that game).

    I have a Steam Link for PC couch play. It actually works pretty nicely, IMO. But I REALLY do want to play Sunset Overdrive and Scaleboud, I admit. And Phantom Dust if that's still a thing.

    There was a crowdfunding campaign that failed spectacularly, so it is not coming to PC

    Even if it did, it would not bring over the hundreds of DLC songs I have on Xbox

    Sea of Thieves is the only big Xbox exclusive I'm looking forward to

    and I'm pretty sure it's coming to PC too

    Pretty much all I need out of Microsoft's conference is whatever the hell that is

    I feel like we don't know enough about Sea of Thieves yet

    Black Flag set a pretty high bar for pirating stuff, and honestly Rare is no longer a company I trust to deliver on such a premise

    They haven't made a game I've enjoyed since Star Fox Adventures

    A new "ability gated exploration" Metroid game would have been on the list, but then Nintendo happened.

    I expect that's how it will go. CDPR's insane world building and writing combined with maybe a 3rd person shooter is my guess.

    I have a podcast about Digimon called the Digital Moncast, on Audio Entropy.

    There are a bunch of Xbox things I'm excited for, but I'm worried about Crackdown not being able to deliver the gameplay it promised, and that Recore isn't coming out.

    Recore just had its reveal trailer last year, right?

    I bet they'll have a gameplay segment on stage this year

    Combat that is no fun and endless, unintuitive menus to drown in

    If they wanna throw a cool card game in Cyberpunk though that'd be rad

    Anyways, speaking of hopes, I know that Japan is traditionally the venue, but now that Square Enix has their own conference I hope we'll see some new Dragon Quest XI info

    At this point, would Valve even debut a game at E3 anymore?

    (Do they still make games?)

    I, for one, enjoyed the Mako.

    they made some small games for the Vive
    other than that they have only been maintaining and updating their old games for the last few years, as far as I know at least

    I guess I should rephrase that: Are they interested making new games beyond small VR Demo's, and maintaining their empire of hats? As other people have stated, their engineers are obviously busy, but they must still have writers, artists and designers and such on staff, they can't just be making gun skins, right?

    No even super-invested, just fascinated, have they quietly pulled a less depressing Konami, and opted out of the traditional software biz?

    I, for one, enjoyed the Mako.

    I mean, they haven't officially announced anything, but Left 4 Dead 3 and Half-Life 3 freqently find their way into leaks and bits of leftover code. Whether they'll see release or not is anyone's guess.

  • MeldingMelding Registered User regular
    they're too busy trying to figure out how to run a store to bother making games.

    I don't think they'd be able to do something as bad as when they had James Cameron talking about Avatar for 15 minutes, even if they tried.

    Meanwhile, digital distribution is pushing GameStop to the game publishing industry. Strange times.

    EDIT: Wait, it has an upload date of 2014. I though Konami had been nuked that whenever it popped up?
