    Watching the E3 thread with last year's games.

    It is funny how some good games are so easily forgotten.

    Styx and Technomancer seem good.

    Totally glossed over them. Styx is actually a sequel.

    that Styx game is actually the 3rd in a series! first one wasn't called Styx though, don't remember the actual name. Technomancer apparently turned out to be shit.

    but yeah, tons of great stuff gets lots in the crowd. indies tend to get a prop up cause everyone wants to find that next gem and the (usually)low cost is an easier sell. mid-tier titles are generally fucked though. might get a bit of attention but are usually forgot soon after the show end.

    That looks like good fun, I think I'll grab it next month. It'll help kill time until Destiny 2 arrives.


    it does look better than i was expecting, but i'm not totally sold yet. also i was getting a pretty strong F2P vibe and was thrown by they 'Pre-Order' mention at the end there. will wait and see more, but get the feeling i'll be giving this one a miss.

    Styx is a prequel to Of Orcs and Men, according to Wikipedia, which is the sequel to Encyclopedia Britannica.

    Encarta never existed. Must have existed in an alternate timeline that only you can perceive.

    30 minutes for Nintendo is a little concerning. It could be jam packed 30 minutes - I certainly appreciate the lack of on stage BS. Or it could be 30 minutes because Nintendo doesn't have shit, like last year. Zelda is a phenomenal game but that was just sad. I really need to be reassured that my Switch purchase wasn't another waste of money and if 3DS games are taking time too I just don't think Nintendo is ready to do that.

    the expo floor opens on the 13th. EA are doing their EA Play thing outside of E3 proper, which is why they're so early. tomorrow MS and Bethesda will have their pre-E3 press briefings.

    If I had to rank my own estimations for the Big 3 this year, it would probably go:

    1. Most Interested In: Microsoft. I'm really curious what they're going to do with their big Scorpio unveil, which by all accounts is being treated like "Xbox One: The Do-Over". Will they be able to back up all the claims about their 4K horsepower? Will they have the games and incentives to back it up?

    2. Most Cautious About: Nintendo. It's my hope that they'll have some big Switch games announced and released within the year, but there's also a good chance they'll just focus on the stuff we already know about and just announce a few mid-tier Switch announcements (like more ports of Wii U games; Tokyo Mirage Sessions is one of the big rumored, which I would personally be excited about as I haven't played the Wii U version, but it wouldn't be a megaton announcement either).

    3. Most Excited For: Sony. What can I say? Four years and counting, they've dominated the E3 press conferences. I've had the privilege of attending the last three shows in my local theater, and I'm all primed for this year as well. The only thing I'm worried about is the big chunk of time that's going to be taken up by Destiny 2 and CoD, neither of which I have any interest in.

    Game Announcement I'm Hoping For Most: Surprising no one, I'm hoping real hard for another FFVII Remake trailer. I know the odds are pretty low given the news about the development change to in-house, but it would be a real big disappointment if they didn't have anything new to show given this year is both the anniversary of FFVII and the series itself. I'll take a new CG trailer if it means we get to see a certain someone make their debut and kick all sorts of ass.

    Kingdom Hearts III is actually looking more likely, as there's been more mutterings of a new trailer for E3. It would be great, especially if they cap it off with the fanboy-killing drop of a Star Wars world, but I already know what to expect out of that game. There's so much more we don't know about FFVII, so I'm hoping really hard we get some details.

    The rumors about a space like skyrim/fallout game at Bethesda have me excited.

    I'd imagine Xbox going to be hitting hard this year with the Scorpio. Be interesting what Sony and Nintendo counter with.

    I would like an Elder Scrolls game in the spirit of the early ones with the darkness, nudity, and danger.

    It guess that came from old PC games being more of an adult niche product. They were more risque.

    i'm not expecting any more than what we got to see of Andromeda in the years leading up to its release. devs talking, some concept art, not a lot more.

    i think it also came from not having the restrictions placed on console games, specifically Nintendo's limits on content.

    In light of Andromeda's...well, you know...I'm expecting a bigger push into OMG LOOKIT OUR GRAFIX

    Just lots of (most likely altered) graphical footage of their games to show "No really we know how animations work, Frostbite isn't a nightmare engine, look at this!".

    Major Nelson talking with Phil Spencer about their E3 show. Phil mentions 'getting to the games pretty quick', so don't expect them to dwell on hardware, but instead mix the talk in with the demos.

    I meant showing up at E3 this year.

    Bethesda traditionally doesn't go in for the whole years and years of hype build up that other Devs seem to like doing. When they officially announce a game chances are good you'll be playing it within 6-9 months. I appreciate that.
