I can't wait for the Ubisoft conference where Aisha Taylor will continue to erode any good will I have towards her for playing a character in Archer.

I'm very sorry I offended you, I'm sure this year's set of dank memes about open world games where you climb viewpoints to fill out the world map will be very good

This is one of the less terrible Microsoft conferences I've seen, gotta say.
Still nothing that makes me pine for an Xbone but those games that are gonna be on consoles that aren't the Xbone look pretty cool.
That was a pretty lovely FFXV demonstration though, god drat. Way to pick a lame part to show off.

Ok, so what even is this "Project Scorpio"

Is this a VR addon? A Steambox, a pre-build PC?

Seems like a PC kit to me I think?
A Steam Box but by Microsoft?

Augus

are people praising this conference ironically or something?
I mean there was some cool stuff and all but a lot of it was pretty drat boring. VR tech demos and FMV teasers, big deal.
Did MS and Ubisoft really lower expectations that far?

I can agree with that but everyone watches these things to get reveals of all kinds and that's what Sony delivered. The production around it is secondary to that and if they think that stuff is very important then I think they've been kind of hooked by the PR machine.

How the gently caress do you accuse them of being hooked by PR machine right after saying "all that matters is big reveals!"?
The PR hype machine literally runs just on announcements and announcements of announcements and annoncing announcements of revealing announcements of announcements.

What they should have is reveals of substance. Not just a logo covered in rust and a notice to "stay tuned for more" and such poo poo. Maybe then E3 will be less garbage.

I dunno know any of you are excited for Nintendo, they announced ages ago exactly which games would be there, and said there wouldn't be surprises.

Its Zelda, Pokemon Mobile, Monster Hunter Generations, Dragon Quest VII and the SMT game thats not Persona 5 so nobody cares..

Well I like Zelda so I kinda want to see what that game is about.
Nintendo actually shows unedited gameplay at E3 unlike everyone else, so that's nice.

Kamiya games are always style over substance - the DMC games aren't so much "fun" as they are "cool."

I dunno, I never was really grabbed by the gameplay of any of the DMC games - I only played the first two, though. It felt like 3D CastleVania to me. That's not to say I didn't like them - I did! - but I dunno. It didn't feel deep, gameplay-wise. Style over substance. Just my opinion. Scalebound looks hella boring, though.

DMC1 is really really old and DMC2 is the one nobody likes, really not a strong foundation for that conclusion.
