All the big presentations are over and the showfloor has opened.
Here's a website that has all the trailers for e3 stuff: https://2019.e3recap.com/

    Well now (whenever it arrives) I own a Switch.

    Thanks Trials of Mana, for being the last straw. And I guess Nintendo's E3 thing in general. That's a pretty strong August/September.

    E3 Questions

    Will the FF7 series of remakes go on to include an Advent Children / Dirge of Cerberus era game?

    What the hell is this Marvel Game?

    Astral Chain looks like Platinum action plus Batman detective mode sections.

    Yeah, but you figure taking on a project of this magnitude you should have SOME idea beforehand of what each part would entail

    I think they have a general idea of what kind of scope they want each area to have and a road map of the total narrative (obviously). But past Midgar, it's pretty subjective.

    The most obvious breakpoints to me are leaving Midgar, the awakening of the Weapons, then the end of the game. But that would make game number 2 HUGE, since that's like 70% of the game between leaving midgar and the first visit to the northern crater

    Aeris' out-of-body experience would make another good breakpoint but I think the awakening of the weapons and summoning of meteor is the more effective dramatic cliffhanger to end on.

    If you end on the weapons, the last part would be the escape from Junon, the search for Cloud, the race to recover the huge materia at Mt. Corel, Fort Condor, Rocket Town and the undersea reactor, falling into the lifestream and the recovery of Cloud's memories, the search for the white materia, the diamond weapon and the return to Midgar, and the great northern cave.

    Part two will be a mixed media experience, where to get the full story you need to watch an animated series on youtube as well as purchase a direct to video animated movie that bridges the gap to part three.

    based on what I remember from the original announcement it is strongly implied to at least be aimed for PC as well.

    It became a public event 2 years ago, likely as a desperation move by the ESA. Was media only before.

    Honestly, I'd be shocked if they didn't have a number in mind

    But it's probably an if-then statement depending on sales numbers and reaction (if it sells well, 4, if not, 2, etc)

    This has probably been the best E3 for me in years. Tons of stuff I'm interested in coming out, and nothing that I'd have to go buy a console for.

    The big three are Cyberpunk, Watch Dogs 3 and Vampire. But then there's Baldur's Gate 3 and Outer Worlds, and probably a bunch of stuff I'm already forgetting.

    There's also a bunch of smaller stuff that I didn't know about that got announcement trailers.

    Apparently gamestop Ireland posted a preorder page before the show for an xbox version but that's probably speculative more than anything else

    While I would love to be playing Seiken Densetsu 3 right now, the temptation of a physical version was too much and I guess I am waiting until August 28th.

    This snippet from Marvel.com's coverage of the Avengers game makes me think whoever called the game as originally single player being hard course corrected into a GaS is dead on.
    The single-player campaign will cover most of what was revealed in the initial story. But as the story develops over the years within the game, that campaign will expand to include multiple players (up to four).

    I just got home from work and was able to watch the Smash reveals and the BotW 2 teaser

    Smash stuff: hype as hell. I'm really happy for the Banjo fans and BK looks like a hoot to play

    Zelda stuff: fuck yes, fuck yes, gimme that right now, I'm more than happy to return to that particular iteration of the world and explore some spooky labyrinths.

    Hey remember that demo where they took feedback on Daemon X Machina

    They actually did stuff with that feedback.

    Let's say that they decide to split it into four games, with the first ending when they leave Midgar and the third with the Weapons. Where do you think they'd end the second game then?

    I ended up with two preorders because when I first checked amazon only had the PS4 version and then the PC version came into stock. Since they don’t charge for preorders I have until November to decide if I really want that helmet and/or if my PC can handle the sequel.

    maybe after the Gold Saucer, or the boat trip to Costa Del Sol? that feels like splitting it real fine though. They'd have to come up with a bunch of new shit to do during that middle following-sephiroth's-trail part of the story.

    Probably after Wutai.

    Rocket Town > Tiny Bronco, then have the story take you to Wutai, that's no longer optional because Yuffie is more seamlessly tied into the game rather than being an entirely optional character.
