E3 2016 Discussion

[Dolphman]

Everyone's talking about the new Legend of Zelda. While I'm just sitting here keen for more info of Death Stranding.

Love me some surreal & nightmarish visuals. And no doubt, this is going to have a lot of it.

I'm waiting what Sega will say about Sonic world, a real Sonic Team game didn't come out for a long time.

[Guy]

I was just hoping to see/hear something about FF7's Remake, I Watched an hour or so of the new LoZ's game play and I'm feeling pretty excited for that.

looks like sony's in the lead in terms of most interesting presentations.

i guess as someone who owns a vita and ps3 and NOT a ps4, I probably shouldn't be expecting much, lol

[Jermungandr]

I'm still not convinced whether Color Splash will be a good game worth getting or not, as it looks like all its core issues are still present.

But DAMN if the trailer doesn't do a great job making it look fantastic. Their advertising team is sure on top of things, that's for sure. It looks like a visual feast at the very least, even if the gameplay turns out to be subpar.

so...that mario party boxart? who was hired for it?

I think it's placeholder boxart until there's more actual information. I mean, they couldn't have made the really nice Island Tour boxart and just said "OK hell, let's just slap a stock render of the Mario cast on Star Rush".


I can't help but to feel like MP Star Rush itself is a rush job. I mean, it sounds like something straight out of a Nintendo fanon wiki full of unoriginal content. ('A`)

Maybe somebody who really liked Spaghettios?

Good E3. Lots of good Sony announcements, Scalebound and Re-Core continue to make me think about getting an Xbox One and Zelda looks pretty nice.

Normally someone drops the ball, but I think everyone got some news they wanted.

[Kosheh]

Yeah it all-around looks OK. Then again, it still feels like E3's a lot, lot more low-key than it used to be.

I originally blew it off at E3...last year? or CES? but there's something about Horizon: Zero Dawn that just makes me want the everloving shit out of this game. Everything I see about it, I'm just in love. It looks like a modern Zelda game for grown-ups but like Zelda's already for grown ups but like look at this freakin game I shoot down mechanical walker things with a fucking bow and arrow and I get a mechanical Epona hdhsjhjshgf

Is this what it feels like to be old

[Kriven]

You guys need to stop making me wish I'd gotten a PS4 instead of an XBONE.

[Goemar]

Well it depends what type of games you're after. Sony really seems to be getting more diversity in their exclusives though. I mean Halo, Forza and Gears are great games  - and if you have friends online to play them with you're going to have a great time, but good story and character development have they do not. Now seems to be the time where the exclusives are causing a bigger divide (though Ratchet and Clank, Shadow of the Beast and Uncharted 4 are great games) as the consoles have got a bit of age to them. I mean Xbox One is still getting Re-Core and Scalebound.

But man, Death Stranding, Horizon - Zero Dawn (still a dumb ass name), God of War (a much welcome change of direction), Crash Bandicoot Remasters, Last Guardian (please be good) - look pretty damn sweet. And there's the inevitable Last of Us 2. Oh and that Spider-Man game could be something really great. Oh, oh - and that Detroit: Become Human!

Oh and... Wild Guns Reloaded. Man. Just who saw that coming? Utter child-like joy there.



So erm... yeah, maybe you did make the wrong choice... whoops...

[AuraLancer]

I'm surprised that anyone who pays attention to gaming news went with Xbox this gen. My views on the brand vary between indifference and contempt regularly though, so maybe I'm not the best person to listen to.

[Goemar]

The 360 was a good system. But yeah, the Xbox One kind of fucked up before it was even out. Apart from people who just refuse to change platform I don't understand. Last gen there was no clear difference between the 2 really, but this gen the PS4 is the clear better system.

[Ploaj]

Nintendo really outdid themselves with this one.
