EA:
Titanfall looks like more of the same - short term fun, long term boring.
Andromeda: Just enough to get me wanting more, well not sharing much plot at all. There were some interesting things I caught from the trailer that if anyone wants to talk about, bring it up on steam/ts.
Fifa: Campaign... wot. Whatever, lol.
All the Star Wars stuff was poo - except for seeing a VR Xwing cockpit. . . (and ofc more details in sony conference, where it becomes dissapointing - a singleplayer mission for battlefront. Yay.)
BF1: Yup, good for GC.
Microsoft:
Sea Of Theives looked actually prettyfun, I'd like to play that with you guys some.
Dead Rising 4 looks delightfully silly, but not somethign I'd buy.
State Of Decay 2 looks like it has some kind of co-op, I'd like to try that out. SOD was a pretty good game, lacking in some areas but generally very good, I look forward to seeing an improved version I can play with friends.
Halo Wars 2 doesn't look half bad - again not something I'll but, but it was okay looking.
Killer Instinct is cool looking and I think I'll be picking up.
I also just want to point out how fucking horrendous
Scalebound looks. Like omfg, I can't believe how terrible that looks to play, and how fucking childlike it is. It's odd, the monster looks pretty cool, but everything about the gameplay and the characters and the VA look completely awful. Basically I sat watching thinking "this is the kind of shit that appeals to nooby and no one else"
Lots of "Cross-platform" stuff, which is good. The smalltext being you most likely have to buy from the Windows 10 store. Sorry, Microsoft, but you're going to have to do a lot to convince me to buy with your shitty unreliable market-unfriendly service instead of the tried and tested existing ones.
Ubi:
Ghost Recon Wildlands looks like a game for console players tbh. It's just a more advanced version of The Division, with vehicles and such. A shitty third person shooter with "Stealth" elements. The entire trailer I couldn't help but think that the thing looks terribly easy if you're actually decent at games.
I was really hoping for something which really benefits from having players doing different roles. Given how easy everything looked, it basically looks like the "best" way will just be to crash through as a group, or even just doing it solo. As it's 3rd person waist-high-cover-everywhere shooter, there's no point having someone sitting in an "overwatch" position, as you can see everything ahead of you anyway.
Totally disappointing, I'm hoping to see more later.
Watchdogs also looks just like more watchdogs, but slightly better, except the cast is even more intolerable. Not sure which way I'll go for that.
Star Trek Bridge Crew looks like it'd be short term fun - but a really expensive investment for a very short term game, doesn't look like there's much depth at all. It's basically just VR Officially ST
Bridge Simulator - If you cna mod it to be in TNG era ships/UI, maybe. New era ST is so crappy looking though.
For Honour looks aight. Steep looks pretty beautiful - if it's priced as an indie title, I'll maybe give that a go.
PC Show:
Frankly disgusted that this isn't getting more press, IGN have totally ignored it, as have Gamespot who are doing the "official" E3 streaming. As a show, I think it's one of the better ones, it feels a lot more honest and about love of the platform, instead of circlejerking about how awesome company/hardware is (mostly). To be fair, it was also dumb of them to have the show planted right between the Microsoft and Ubi shows, esepecially cause it was running INTO the start of Ubi, and finished just as the last lines of awful dialogue for Wildlands was playing
Dawn of War 3 looked Dawn Of War-y, not really my type of game tbh, Angel can weigh in, I'm sure.
They showed more stuff for ARK: Survival Evolved. Started off showing how beautiful the game is, which it is. Then they showed the animations and interactions with the dino's and it immediately looks shit. One interesting "gamemode" they're adding is the ability to play as basically any of the animal life, where the goal is essentially to survive and mate, as opposed to the human side which is all about building up yo base and taming dinos and shit. That looks like an interesting concept, but I still don't give a fuck.
Giant Cop looked... like a weird quirky interesting PC title. I'm intrigued.
More from Mount And Blade: Bannerlords. We saw a siege in progress, it's a massive improvement over M&B, but keeping the core gameplay intact. Battles overall look larger and more complex, but I think they're still going to carry a lot of the same flaws.
Lawbreakers - some kind of cross between overwatch and titanfall/tribes? All about mobility, and some interesting quirks with different areas having different gravity. You cna sign up for the beta, I got a key and will give it a go.
AMD Lady is awesome, I love her she's so cool. No BS around it, just "this is what we've got, and we love you."
The "backpack PC" for VR is an interesting idea, the concept of VR gaming with no cables, except I wonder how they connect to the cameras/sensors.... surely there's now a cable going form the backback to those???
Tripwire with Killing Floor 2 stuffs - free weekend coming up, but still looks dull. Also our first OCCULUS EXCLUSIVE! FUCK OCCULUS!
Superhot VR could either be the best thing ever or the worst, I thought the latter before seeing the video, and now want it. Unfortunately, also Occulus exclusive. Fuck Occulus, Fuck Facebook and Fuck Palmer Luckey.
Sony:
First off, OMFG. What a fucking opening. Amazing musical performance, straight into a fantastic looking opening to God Of War, which generally I'm not interested my omfg.
Days Gone I thought was ramping up to be in the The Last Of Us universe. We got a gameplay demo at the end of the show, generic zombie game? It's TLOU with more zombies and action. I'm interested to see how that translates - The action in TLOU was something that it felt like you had to do your best to avoid, this looks like it chases it a bit more. They fucking killed a kid zombie though, brave.
Last Guardian I think will be up there with Ico and Shadow Of The Collousus of artistic gameplay greats, not sure if I'll hit it up or not.
Horizon Zero Dawn looks like an interesting world, and the gameplay wasn't too shit, like other games, I look forward to seeing what else will come of it.
The choice driven dialouge game about android cops looks like it'll have high replayabvility, a decent budget alpha protocol?
VR Resident Evil - I'm a coward, no thanks. That was enough for me already
Epic Looking SCi Fi Game omg - oh, never mind, it's call of duty. Went from being really cool looking to meh in 5 seconds flat. To be fair, it looks a lot better than anything we've seen from CoD so far, maybe even not totally linear. Honestly if it wasn't called Call Of Duty, I'd be a lot more interested - amazing what that series rep has done to it. I think during the video it also went from being "epic looking" to "way over the top"
They remastered CoD4MW though - the CoD that people actually want to play.
Remastered Crash Bandicoots, the intro for that was pretty cool. I'd like to play upgraded versions of the original crashes - CB1 I can use an analogue stick with
Death Stranding. Kojima poo with Norman Reedus. He's cool, but I don't think he's as deserving of all the nerdgasaming he ges that much. Fucking hell. He does do good games though, hopefully we'll get a bit more sensible and easyier to follow plot. We've got no idea what the games actually about except weird stuff and Reedus nips. My favourite comment: "
Ten years on, we're getting tiny enemy crabs."Spiderman: we've had good spider games and bad spider games ,this is looking like the former. Spidey is a fun hero and I think one of the ones which would best translate to a video game (esp with a controller).
Honestly, I think the Sony Conference blew everything else out of the water. Awesome soundtrack, no executive egowanking and tomfoolery. Just awesome game after awesome game. Honestly that was just so awesome, it's the first time I've ever watched one of these things and actually wished that I could be there to experience it.
