E3 Hype Week has already started with some announcements/pre-announcements

Capcom announced Mega Man Legacy Collection 2, which collects Mega Man 7 through Mega Man 10. So yes, FINALLY, MM9 and MM10 are on PC after being console-only forever.

Nintendo announced a Pokemon Direct that will air tomorrow and probably announce the third game in the Sun/Moon setting. Most likely for 3DS, not for Switch

Here's an E3 Trailer for some sort of Pikmin inspired co-op game?

Don't expect a surprise BC announcement from Sony anytime soon.

quote:

Another concern occasionally raised by PlayStation devotees involves the company's once-ubiquitous PlayStation 2. While Sony has in recent years devoted resources to bringing a handful of popular older titles to the PlayStation 4, the better part of that library is lost to time. For now, it seems that's where it'll remain. "When we've dabbled with backwards compatibility, I can say it is one of those features that is much requested, but not actually used much," says Ryan. "That, and I was at a Gran Turismo event recently where they had PS1, PS2, PS3 and PS4 games, and the PS1 and the PS2 games, they looked ancient, like why would anybody play this?"

We'll get bc in like 2052 when ms finally has a console more popular than playstation.

Its definitely something that keeps core gamers happy and pads weak lineups of new games but i could see how it doesnt matter to a company poised to sell a jillion destiny 2 bundle systems in 3 months.

A couple bc games like blops2 managed to chart this year but hes probably right that thats an exception that doesnt make a business case for investing in bc tech as long as the system is popular without it.

Devolver's press conference is part of this Twitch event:

quote:

"The First Ever Second Pre Pre Show" is an all-night, high-energy E3 celebration of gaming culture, indie devs, comedy and film. We're kicking off with the "Devolver Digital: Mega Press Conference!" world premiere and staying up late with gameplay exclusives from Raw Fury Games, SEGA, Adult Swim, and more! Don't miss a very special Mutant Cop Movie Double Feature screening of "Sgt. Kabukiman NYPD" from Troma Entertainment and CineCoup's "Wolf Cop" with presentations and commentary from the creators. Special appearances by Everything is Terrible with a "Choose Your Own Adventure" experience, and TV CARNAGE with never-before-seen footage will keep you thinking "What?" and "This is amazing!". Musical guests include Death from Above 1979, Mystery Skulls, and a performance from legendary music producer Daedelus, PLUS a world's first premiere exclusive music video from WAVVES! Hosted by Jon Carnage, HelloKellyLink, Ezekiel III, IIJerichoII , DonFubar and FuturemanGaming with surprise celebrity appearances and benevolent spirit visitors.

It'll be June 11th at 10 PM PT (or June 12th at 1 AM ET for East Coasters)

Since they're an indie publisher it makes sense not to be in a primetime spot. these guys publish Broforce, not Assassin's Creed, after all

Why would Sony ever go out of their way to do backwards compatibility when you can release $20 HD remasters that people don't mind paying for again and end up looking better + include more features than the original titles?

I can't wait until the next Metal Gear Anthology comes out with every game in the series but MGS4 because there's nobody left at Konami who knows how they ever got the game to run in the first place.

They'll just package the cutscenes together since that was about 85% of the game anyways.

I'd be perfectly fine with pretending MGS4 never loving happened and the game series ended with MGS2, as it should have.

Konami should, however, absolutely make an effort to put MGS 1/2/3 on all platforms

Then we'd've never gotten MGS3, and that's an essential part of the series, like, possibly moreso than MGS1 and 2 were.

Also MGS4 is not a bad game and after MGS5 it's gotten much better in retrospect. Like at least it has an ending.

Agreed, that was probably my favorite moment. With all the melodrama it was great seeing someone who was just having fun with the whole thing.

"at least it has an ending" is the worst possible complaint to levy MGS4 versus MGS5, especially when MGS4 had the loving balls to ask you, the player, to feel bad for Vamp

Yeah, every death in that game is treated like the most melodramatically saddest thing that's ever happened, up to and including the mastermind behind everything going to poo poo in the world costing millions of lives and turning the world's economy into one based on wars, oh but feel sad that he's dying, please.

But on the other hand, Meryl marries the guy who shits himself every game as a joke, which is hilarious.
