Only if they re-release this.

Let's be honest, having a release date for Last Guardian which is this year pretty much cancels out any other TBD.

You know they say that all demons are created equal, but you look at me and you look at Pyro Jack and you can see that statement is not true, hee-ho!
Valve has Dota 2 now, so they no longer have to make any other game ever again I guess.

I don't think this game will ever come out. I wonder why Gabe Newell canceled it tho.

As the other guy said, yeah, they won't release it because it's too hyped and no one will be satisfied so they don't wanna ruin their legacy

Has there been anything new on Star Citizen? Is that game canceled yet?

Hey, Dead Rising 2 for PC/Last Gen had some great hordes and was reasonably fun. It let you run over hordes of zombies with a weaponized lawnmower contraption while cross-dressing in a sundress with a teddy bear head.

Shame about Dead Rising 3

For as boring as the demo was, Days Gone had some neat crowd physics going on. Reminded me of World War Z and the CGI zombie wave crashing through Jerusalem was the only good thing about that movie.

I get why it's tonally awkward, but getting all sadbrains because game companies didn't cancel every violent game they've had in development after one particularly deadly shooting incident in a culture full of routine shootings is really dumb.

He retired because the script for Half Life 3 has already been written and he realized that he will never create something so pure and beautiful again.

Sony didn't crush it or anything. It was cool that they showed games, but the presentation itself would've been better as a stream of Youtube videos. Having people talk is actually kinda useful. The VR block was a massive disappointment and Days Gone was an unimpressive way to end - both could have used more context. Infinite Warfare went from looking neat to looking like another CoD game. God of War and Horizon were incredible looking, though.

Still better than talking about Powers, though.

You have to remember that absolutely nobody here who gets up in arms over violence in videogames actually gives a poo poo about violence in reality or in videogames. At least, until a big enough incident occurs, then they feel obligated to claim the moral high ground for a few days, hashtag a couple self-serving prayers to the latest victims of gun violence, maybe vigorously wring their hands in the process of an epic post about how terrible everything is in videogames/america/the world, before they, like everyone else, remember that they don't actually give a poo poo and they stop posting about it.

I agree, and that's what's most irritating about it. Hey everyone, check out my cool moral stand where I poo poo on game companies for a day by using dead people as a prop for my feigned outrage. I don't mean to single anyone out, and I'm not saying every game is tasteful, but there was a lot of this in the thread yesterday.

Literally nobody is freaking out over violent video games, I don't know where you're getting that from. You can't deny the irony, though, in holding a moment of silence for the Orlando victims, and then showing off games that are mostly murderfests.

I am excited for Zelda, and I will be happy with Nintendo as long as they don't botch it.

Gerstmann has nothing of value to contribute to any conversation except when he talks about how fun and fancy free games journalism was in the 90s.

Sony already won E3 so I don't know why we're having any more events.

I'm catching up and watching Ubisoft's now and holy gently caress talk about tone deaf. You can't talk about a serious topic like terrorist attacks when you have a person in a giraffe costume wearing a monocle and bowtie kneeling right next to you.

Basically this. Pretty much every reviewer who's been doing this for the last 15-20 years comes across as a jaded misanthrope. Just look at Alex Navarro, although it is fair to say he was a jaded misanthrope for most of his adult life.

For what it's worth, my favorite parts of the Bombcasts are the parts where they specifically are not talking about video games.

I'll miss the action-movie kicking and wrestling zombies stuff from 4/5/6 but it will be nice to play it as an atmospheric bleak horror game again
