You are forgetting about Playstation VR. Sony is going to be pushing it at E3. There should be plenty of cringeworthy/hilarious demos because the people pushing VR can't resist trying to demo it in 2d even though it never looks good.

Oh man I can't wait for the VR stuff. I don't give a poo poo about VR but watching these guys flail around on stage trying to show off how immersive the VR is while we just get to see how stupid we'd look if we played it.

things I really want to see:

- 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, which is the new Vanillaware title and is their first modern day thing and involves loving gundam mechs. All their games are fun and beautiful and I hope they sneak something in to show this time, though I have no idea where. Probably will just wait for TGS :(

- Ruiner, which is a Devolver game and is kind of a no brainer to appear. Ruiner is going to Ruin Hatred's lunch and probably Hyper Light Drifter too. Looks like neo noir brainsmashing fun for the whole family.

- Allison Road, the undead successor to the PT throne, probably not big enough to show here but would be cool if Team17 and one of the console companies snatched the rights for a home console deal for it. I just really wonder what they're up to.

- The Rumored Sony-Exclusive Spideyman game which was "leaked" by the same guy who leaked the God of War 4 poo poo. Probably bullshit but oh man I love it if this was not only real, but was the Sucker Punch property they've been working on. We have a better chance of seeing Beyond Good and Evil 2 though.

and finally,

- WiLD, which I think was seen in 2014 and was a Michel Ancel game which means it's good as dead, and that's sad because it looked beautiful and fun.

Also really looking forward to Dishonored 2 and Red Dead pre/sequel. 2016 is so swollen with games as is so I won't be too disappointed if there's not many bombs to drop.


gonna be so let down if Mother Russia Bleeds isn't out in 2016 though.

I always forget that at one point, people were actually excited for that game. When I remember I start laughing because its so loving funny how bad it turned out.

I bought it and it's actually pretty good*, Spider Tank's camera work is so great.

*I spent 10 bucks.

After release Ubisoft tried to at least say that Aiden was a :airquote: deconstruction :airquote: of the batman archtype.

i think we're due for a man bat game anyways.

the best thing about e3 is always describing the central premise of a game to someone who hasn't heard of it before.

homeless people kill gimps, fat people, trip balls.

forklifts. capsule toys. petting cats.

Japanese game by the Japanese, too Japanese for the Japanese to want.

NX being part of the week's festivities at least promises something eventful. it will pretty much make or break the future due to how much the wiiu tanked, even if it gave us gems like bayonetta 2, smash, kart, 3d world, splatoon, and pikmins. going out on the mixed star fox reviews makes it necessary to start june with a bang.

I realize nobody really "wins" a press conference but this would be the kind of game that by all means "wins" a company the show for me. Though idk how they'd do it without use of the WiiU tablet, where it would have made more sense.

Because game reviewers are comically incompetent, 7/10 means either worse than Hitler or something outside the reviewer's expectations and so they think it's worse than Hitler. The first means it's forgotten, the latter means that it becomes a beloved cult game and after lots of word of mouth the effectively identical sequel is 10/10.

Review scores are an objective measure of a video game's worth, much like grades in academia, except that video game reviews themselves are poorly written.

Yep. Seems like a TGS thing. I can't see it getting a stage show showing anywhere.

quote:

Nintendo's annual fiscal-year earnings release went live on Wednesday via an announcement from its Japanese arm, and with that release came a very modestly tucked bit of giant news: the firmest launch-window announcement yet for the company's next, still-unnamed game system.

...

In even more surprising news, expectations that Nintendo would unveil the NX in time for June's Electronic Entertainment Expo were dashed by a statement from acting Nintendo CEO Tatsumi Kimishima, who confirmed in a Wednesday investor phone call (as reported by The Wall Street Journal's Tokyo bureau correspondent Takashi Mochizuki) that the system will not appear at this year's E3. Nintendo will instead focus its E3 attention "on the new Zelda," Mochizuki reports.

this is going to be a depressing fuckin e3 for nintendo huh

dont worry, they still have that killer 3ds of um, uh, oh jeez

Nintendo announced at their investor call that the only game they'll have playable on the show floor is Zelda, and that the NX (which is apparently launching next March) will not be at the show, so as to keep full focus on Zelda.

Zelda Zelda Zelda.

I think having a big E3 booth for a single game is a new one on me...

I don't really understand why Nintendo would dedicate their massive booth to just one game but it doesn't really impact the viewer at home, just the people there who... okay honestly did anyone going to E3 want to play Federation Force or something? People only want to play zelda. I guess it makes sense.

It's gonna make the Treehouse Live stream very awkward though, as the Treehouse dudes will be playing games that the attendees won't get to touch. GO BACK TO YOUR ZELDA STATION, PEON
