I liked Wolfenstein and Hidden Agenda a lot, but as someone who owns all the consoles, I'm actually really excited about OG Xbox backwards compatibility. I hope I get to play Ninja Gaiden in all its glory, and and no bloody A, B, C, or D!

what's wrong at capcom

Doesn't release any of the remasters of the capcom&disney collections or games on the switch, pins the odds of future switch games on a garbage 40 dollar SF2 port, and train wrecks the SF5 launch.

I don't know if they're incompetent or just hate making video games at this point.

hey everyone. pretty much every year i post these threads and don't get to participate in them because i spend the days of e3 animating little recaps of each day (i wont embed it, watch only if you give a gently caress). but i managed to get a little ahead so i can actually make a post DURING E3 WOW!!!!! wow (wow)

so right now I think Ubisoft had the best conference unironically. I mean l loving loved the lucid dream that was Twitch's Pre-Pre Show, but in terms of an actual thing, Ubisoft had the games and were prepared and even had a little bit of stupidity for old times sake (loving love them being ages late to the toys-to-life genre). it was maybe the most balanced conference there.

i expect disappointment but I was surprised at how disappointing Sony was, mostly in that past years were about "here's the future of our library" but this year they went for more of a Nintendo-style "here's what's coming very soon" which left only the MonHun announcement which is multiplatform. they had no real indies on stage (leaving them in pre-show), and there were games like TLOU 2 that were just bizarrely not there. it doesn't help that I don't really care about VR or about Days Gone or Detroit and those made up half of the dang event

the worst conference by far was easily Bethesda's. you could make a case for EA's being very boring and not having much (if anything) in the way of reveals. but bethesda was the worst of both worlds: a Nintendo Direct-style event with not only next to nothing new to show but a bunch of stuff that was already out or about to be out. stop it with the Youtubers screaming in your videos everyone STOP. IT. stop it. also it was so short what the heck, imagine flying out to LA and getting a ticket for that event only to be sitting there watching the same video as everyone else. i will say WOLF 2 LOOKS COOL, Dishonored Daud DLC LOOKS COOL, but that's not enough

the theme of this year in general is Not Enough, there's just not enough in any conference to get me hyphy (or make me laugh). not enough trainwreck not enough chaos dunks. if you were to just rate it based on games and volume i guess maybe Microsoft? But none of that was exclusive so who cares. not that igaf about console warring but that was pathetic

Hero of E3 is probably Jon Carnage or Zeke, they were up for over 24 hours on Twitch and still had energy and their voices (i don't understand how). best moment was burgerbear

thanks everyone for enjoying these threads and posting and having fun goof-em-ups about these bad video game boys and their stage shows. there's gonna be another thread tomorrow and it's for the rest of the show. i'm gonna try and scrounge up Steam page links to the interesting games shown at E3 so far (to me anyway). have a good rest of the show

Tlou2 was just teased 6 months ago. give them a year minimum before absence is bizzare but otherwise i respect your cool points op

Or end their conference with a surprise like the good old days of E3.

Ya, its probably due to Marvel/Disney's decision. Capcom's fighters look really good. Sf4, sf5 and even mvc3. This artstyle doesn't look like any other Capcom game.

JethroMcB posted:

After like 3 solid years of surprise announcements from Sony, this year felt staid. If they had just pushed the SotC teaser to the very end, after the Spider-Man demo, it would have solved the problem.

Sony still has PSX so I am hoping they will show something good like Red Dead or Last of Us Part 2. Also I liked Microsoft conference better since they had more surprise but none of the games they showed were exclusive. Crackdown and Forza were the big exclusives. Crackdown looks fun and I enjoyed the first one but the trailer didn't show much imo. Forza and GT are pretty comparable, Forza probably looks better.

Sony had 3 big exclusives Spiderman, Days Gone and God Of War. Spiderman, Days Gone might be a toss up but God of War will be among the best game of the year in 2018.

I was really hoping for Last of Us 2 or Red dead, maybe a new From Soft title. They haven't even shown armored core which they announced a while back.

Hot rumor is that Sony paid to keep MHW specifically off of the Switch which caused some internal strife, and so there's a different MH being made for the Switch instead.

also MvC looks kinda bad.

Who knows how long it's been in development? Bethesda's current model is releasing games a few months after announcement.

Wolfenstein really did take the wind out of everyone's sails.

Like I was super excited for Far Cry 5 and Dad of War, etc., and they're just like "oh, those will be great, I guess" whereas I'm loving doing cartwheels over Wolfenstein.

[also I secretly liked the Ubisoft Assassin's Creed totally not Black Sails pirate game.]

It's cheaper to keep it off the platform that's the primary competitor for that franchise than to keep it off every platform. Switch is Nintendo and Nintendo's had MH for years now.

The main MH games have been on Nintendo systems for ~5 years now and are the primary competition. Xbox and PC are slim markets in Japan, and MH is a Pretty Big Deal in the Japanese market. It was probably cheaper that way.
