I'll watch these commercials when they actually have future products they want to sell me, but not when they're just advertising their corporate brand or whatever the gently caress.

I'm a million percent behind inclusiveness in the generally awful games industry, but I can't help but think that a better E3 presentation would be to show me games coming out that are made by women, minorities, LGBTQ+, etc. These talking heads are making me glad I'm also working while this is on.

Weirdly this reminded me that Shadow Complexes potential sequels has been lost to the annals of time because Orson Scott Card is a nutcase. It even had a sequel hook.

If it's any consolation, the Shadow Complex devs were long ago (pre Fortnite or even Unreal Engine 4) acquired by Epic and were probably never going to make a sequel anyway.

Yeah, this seems much more suited for the much more internal-focused GDC and won't do much to actually spawn genuine change. The things you mentioned would be much better for a public- or press-facing show at the goal of increasing inclusivity.

But they havent even done the usual hype machine of announcing with zero information sequels like Todd did with TES6. Like the biggest example if that this year has been The Outer Worlds 2 which no one was holding their breath anticipating ever.

This is the E3 of "don't you have phones".

I will say this E3 did show me some pretty cool games I can hopefully play soon in the form of Gloomwood and Riftbreaker, which is a LOT more then I can say about some of the past E3's.

So I don’t care at all about realistic cockpit sims in million dollar cars but I absolutely want to customize some old 959’s, AE86’s and E30’s then run them through the desert.

This game is 100% for me. I’ve never seen a Forza car list but based on the trailer it’s gonna have some super cool cars in it.

this E3 owned because it was just a big list of cool poo poo I get for free courtesy of Gamepass. I hope they continue the trend of just 90 min of showing poo poo and absolutely zero time spent on talking head segments. Idk how this one is the worst when we've have so many in the past where we had to sit through even more stupid introductions BEFORE the useless trailers

Well it's supposed to be this ultra true to life thing right? So maybe there's like a mode where your superior has to contact his superior and HE has to contact the joint chiefs and then THEY talk to the president and if he says yes, then you can fire a little missile, as a treat.

Edit: it also includes a mini game where you try to secure finding for next year's missiles.

This is why most games are still in full production instead of completely shutting down the way other industries have done. I'm absolutely shocked that this E3 has been as normal as it has been.

"Show, don't tell" would seem to be a better idea than corporate back-patting. And a lot of the time the management pushing these hiring practices aren't exposing their own positions to the chopping block, so it smacks of hypocrisy.

Yeah absolutely. Horizon is the best Need for Speed game right now. Especially last entry they did a literal Hotwheels tie-in with orange tracks in the sky.

If you just wanna gently caress around with cars its the way to go.

iRacing, Assetto Corsa, and Project Cars (2 NOT 3) in that order

iRacing is the only one with a really legit multiplayer environment that keeps people honest and provides the best racing. And its AI is also the best.

Which sim is the most "accurate" is something that enthusiasts constantly argue about.

I watched a trailer on Steam. Those sims look impressive but definitely too deep of a dive for me.

F1 is super arcadey and forgiving, although I do like it because it accurately models all the rules of Formula 1, where games like PCars just sorta come close.

(Things like the 3 qualifying rounds, tire management, safety cars, etc.)

Gran Turismo is probably the closest to getting the multiplayer scene of iRacing, although not quite as good.

-River City Girls 2 announced



-Shin Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-Kun: Kunio-tachi no Banka localized for the first time as River City Girls Zero



-CastleVania: Rondo of Blood re-released for... TurboGraphix 16 CD? What the...
