Well, that State of Play was dire. I guess Dragon's Dogma 2 is good to have confirmed, and that Moebius-looking thing which is either a metroidvania or a roguelike (Ultros or whatever) looked kinda cool.

Alright so what are the expectations for Nintendo in all this?

Likely they just drop a Direct at a weeks notice or will they be part of Geoff’s thing?
last I heard, they're choosing to participate at Gamescom in August instead

Why did they even call it Marathon when it doesn't look like or have anything to do with Marathon

It is officially set in the Marathon universe and will have some story/lore component that links it with the older games. The setting of the new one is the far future of the ruins of the Tau Ceti colony, frequently referenced in the first game but never seen

But certainly the gameplay they've promised and the CG trailer are Marathon in name only so far

No wildly confusing ship layouts or weird timeline fuckery you need to actively be paying attention to the story to notice?

it will be an open world action-parkour game with a colored loot system, enemy levels, and other subtle fumes of a painted-over live service title

It’s by Monolith so hopefully not, Shadow of Mordor/War were some of the most simple, joyful fun I’ve had in years. The lovely orc stuff in SoW was WB mandated so there’s every chance they’ll force that again, of course but then you can always just wait six months for it to get stripped out again.

It's amazing that WB had Rocksteady turn Suicide Squad into a 4 player coop third person looter shooter rather than, say, letting them use their solid Batman combat system for a Wonder Woman game where they could scale it up with magic abilities and fighting mythical monsters and gods.

"Batman meets God of War" is the pitch.

True but their first crowdfunded game massively blew its budget because they chose illustrated HD visuals with high production values.

They learned their lesson after that and their second crowdfunded game was half baked and shat out.

I don't mean that exact hardware, I find it impossible to believe there is not another way for a handheld device to determine a point on an arbitrary screen combined with software meant for it. If consumers wanted it, they'd make it but seems like people don't like it enough for anyone to work on the problems it has, like movement.

edit: i guess VR controllers are pretty similar in a few ways

Yeah arcade lightgun games continued a bit past the CRT era, they just used Wii sensor bar type setups, often with 4 or more sensors embedded in the screen bezel to make them more accurate.

But the thing is the lightgun game was a genre tied intensely to the arcade, and with the death of arcades came the death of new lightgun games. Today you can get a sinden lightgun for your PC and emulate pretty much every old arcade lightgun game with it, but it's still very niche so it's not like anyone is making brand new lightgun games. The last gasp of the lightgun console game was the WiiPS360 generation, where all 3 consoles had some ports and a bunch of new lightgun games made for them and their pointing peripherals (wiimote, kinect, move controller), some of them being legendarily bad...

As BeanpolePeckerwood mentioned, these days if there is anything resembling a lightgun railshooter being made these days, it's for VR, with indie games like Crisis VRigade

And the focus of lightgun emulation is in VR too, with frontends like EmuVR heavily focusing on lightgun support.

There is also a Publisher Spotlight at 11AM that same day which will feature One Lonely Outpost, LunarLux, The Dead Await, Dust Fleet, Akatori, Rune Colisseum.

and going to the website I also spied: Sugar Shack, Vengence of Mr Peppermint, Remnant 2, A Tiny Sticker Tale, new DLC for Grime, Nova Lands, Death Trick: Double Blind, Gori: Cuddly Carnage, Animal Well, Snacko, Slave Zero X, XenoTilt (sequel to Demon Tilt, screenshot shown above), Loddlenaut, In Stars and Time

they split their showcase up across two separate days so some of these games will be in one and some in the other. there will also be a couple other events that are sort of under the same umbrella like Black Voices in Gaming and Dames Make Games but I don't know what the lineups will be in those.

It will be a trailer for chapter 4 season 3 and maybe a surprise announcement of 1st person mode or the new racing mode.

Next season's crossover is Transformers and possibly Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Epic signed a deal with paramount to do some tie ins.

So what's Capcom potentially got in the tank? The only thing I can think of since they already announced Street Fighter 6's first DLC wave is Monster Hunter World 2 since it's been a few years since Rise.

Probably news about that Exoprimal crap alongside Rashid for SF6 and more Dragons Dogma 2 footage, but other than that probably game collection stuff.
