[E3 Thread] still in a lockdown baby: Press conferences all done

It's E3, when big corporations tells us what shit they're planning to sell in the next year to raise investor confidence, and we consumers screech in childish anticipation of our meager rations of bread and circuses.

Dance, pathetic consumers! Cavort and gesticulate for your corporate overlords!

    Shadows Die Twice is to be affectionately referred to as Dark Swords.

    Cyberpunk looks like it's about the street level criminals, gutter punks, glamorous celebrity obsessed pop culture, corporate espionage, and a corrupt over-militarized government.

    ...which is basically exactly what it needs to be. That game needs to be about the big picture of the setting rather than just focusing on any one aspect.

    yeah the Cyberpunk 2077 trailer hit ALL the right notes, they've definitely got the right idea thematically.

    Anywho, my thoughts on the big 3 announcements (for a huge Gears of War fan)

    Gears Pop: Given they had Locust and COG fighting on the same sides/each other, I'm guessing it's going to be one of those kinds of games where you're collection famous characters who will all have some kind of star rating and you'll feed shittier characters to your better characters to make them even better, all while deal with 4-5 different sets of upgrades, all of which is dictated by a limited energy per day meter. Even if I didn't dislike Funko's, that would get a hard pass from me. I utterly hate those kinds of games.

    Gears Tactics: Super bummed they're not putting it on Xbox, especially given X-Com's console version is the entire reason why I wanted this game. That said, holy shit, it's the game I always wanted. Love that it's two years after e-day and versus locust too. Can't wait to hear more but I'm guessing it's 2020 at the earliest.

    Gears 5: Digging Kait being the main character; the visuals and non-combat setpieces look fucking amazing, and the new enemy designs are fucking gross as hell. Also, this little tease on the Gears website.
    The world is crumbling. Humanity’s reliance on technology has become their downfall and enemies are uniting to wipe out all survivors. As Kait you must journey across the biggest, most beautiful Gears world to uncover the origins of the Locust, and fight with your squad to protect what’s left.

    Been waiting since 2008 for them to finally follow up on the stuff they started to reveal in Gears 2 and basically never bothered to elaborate on.

    Kinda curious what Jan/Abby/Jason are doing now that there are 3 engineers behind the scenes instead of 2 like usual. Are they doing more, or just splitting up tasks to be more managable?

    Holy shit, she isn't.

    She wore a red beanie during the last game and I totally didn't notice she wasn't wearing it in that trailer.

    It's literally mentioned twice in the post that informed you she was the main character!

    The same ten or so voice actors are so persistently in everything that I'm pretty sure Steve Blum was the voice saying "EXCLUSIVE" at Microsoft's conference.

    I definitely recognized Jamison Price in the Metro trailer, cause he voiced Sojiro in P5 and the le Commander in MonHun World.
