She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


Days Gone feels like it's coming out 5 years too late. The zombie pikmin aspect they showcased could be pretty amusing but that was about the only unique thing about the entire presentation. Sony was just pretty average this year but EA, MS and Bethesda were so much worse that I couldn't call it bad.

I love how the big finale to the Sony conference was a Spiderman trailer that made everyone go "that's just like Arkham". And the big end to that, the reveal that was supposed to get you super hype, was to bring in a character from the comics that most people didn't even recognize lol.

It also had a lot of qtes which they showed off as if they were a feature people like instead of put up with.

Spider-man does nothing for me personally but I could see a lot of people getting hype over the showcase. "It's just like Arkham" might be a disparaging comment around here but all those games sold a bazillion copies and the average video game player is probably going mbison yes to that.

We must pay homage to the first game to expertly weave the RPG and QTE aspects together into one coherent whole, the greatest one and only Shenmue.

Dad of War was probably the most interesting of the AAA Sony exclusives. Never cared for the series up to this point but it looks to have something special going on. Also Uncharted / Horizon DLC that I'll definitely be getting.

ironically God of War is moving completely off the QTE train just as the Spiderman trailer used them in their first gameplay trailer. I think they addressed that later on and said "the game won't be full of those" but I'm guessing whatever qtes they had, they'll probably be trying to get rid of now lol.

Not a whole lot so far but here are the basics:

- "Continues the story" of Horizon, whether that's strictly post-game like Blood & Wine for TW3 or can be done at any point is up in the air.
- Takes place in Banuk territory with a "hefty" chunk of side content.
- New machines, new weapons, definitely some new megaboss.
- It's 20bux or 15 with PSN discount. Releases this year.

Most youtube gaming channels are click-thirsty trash with some incendiary headline in size 24 impact font, usually accompanied by downward facing red arrows and at least 3-4 question marks in the thumbnail.

ACG does good work though and I like his reviews.

Why? They still haven't shown any gameplay, previous trailers for the sequel showed more than this one. One of the most fishy things that can happen to a game stuck in development hell is a CG trailer.

You mean the first remake, right? This looks to be a pretty significant one while the other remake was to just get it running on PS3, wasn't it? This looks to be an actual graphical upgrade and I wager also to run smoothly no matter what, which was a massive issue with the original game.

god of war looks real great and monster hunter was I guess making monster hunter fans lose control of their limbs they were so excited, so there's that
