E3 thread of new games like Skyrim and Skyrim VR

[Wrath2X]

One week till Microsoft fails at winning back the crowd, Nintendo show games they've already revealed back in January, and Sony talks about games that are three years away from release if you're lucky.

Discuss.

One week till Microsoft fails at winning back the crowd, Nintendo show games they've already revealed back in January, and Sony talks about games that are three years away from release if you're lucky.

Discuss.

MS: Are you excited for new hardware with no new exclusive software to play on it? Please forget about all those games from e3 2015 that were indefinitely delayed or cancelled.

Nintendo: Here's Mario, at least! Are you excited for the software drought before the next Zelda in 5 years?

Sony: 2020 is going to be great. Pls look forward to Death Stranding* and Last of Us 2*!

*Probably on PS5

Are they doing a PC Gamer show this year or did they give up because that was a total dumpster fire two years in a row?

[Tasty]

Time will prove me right or wrong but I'm expecting a lot of 1st and 3rd party Switch announcements at the show, like E3 2006 for the Wii. Obviously it'll be Nintendo-tier third party support but there will still be some gems. They'll probably devote 15 minutes to fucking Skyrim or some shit though. And for first-party, 3DS is on the way out and they have a unified platform for the first time since before the GameBoy. If you combine the Wii U and 3DS libraries that's one hell of a system, and that's the level of first-party support I expect the Switch to get in the next few years.

They didn't even announce much back in January, and like half of that has already been released so I'm puzzled at Wrath's comment lol.

If Xenoblade 2 is still actually coming out this year we should see a TON of it in action. Otherwise it's going to be delayed like everyone thought it would.

Probably more Wii U ports, but I still really want Smash and Pokemon.

Pipe dream but I really wish MH XX hit the States this year.

There's probably going to be a new Odyssey trailer and people will go " this isn't Mario" but the game will come out and kick ass anyways.

Microsoft will be huge on Scorpio despite it getting dialed back seemingly from initial promises. And again, does MS even make first-party games anymore that aren't Halo? Maybe they'll be so desperate they'll resurrect Scalebound.

Sony will probably do very well. They absolutely killed it at 2015. But... Shenmue won't be at the show, and it's highly doubtful we'll see anything on FF7r and KH3 so...  Dunno what else they could do to surprise people, and I'm not sure they even need to.

PSP3 maybe?

[toku]

[thisismyusername]

PSP3 maybe?

Only if it is like the first PSP. EG: GTA, et. al. on the system.

If it's another Persona machine (Persona 5 Portable wouldn't be bad, but...), count me out.

[Great Rumbler]

Only thing to look forward to is Bethesda's conference.

[benjipwns]

Are they doing a PC Gamer show this year or did they give up because that was a total dumpster fire two years in a row?

PC Gamer will host their third PC Gaming Show on June 12, 2017 at 10:00am at the Ace Hotel. The show will focus primarily on titles for personal computers. The show will be hosted by Sean Plott and sponsored by Intel, and will include presentations from Bluehole, Bohemia Interactive, Creative Assembly, Cygames, Microsoft, Nexon, Paradox Interactive, Raw Fury Games, and Tripwire Interactive

With EA and Nintendo dropping out of slots, others are hopping in:

Devolver Digital announced they will hold their first ever press conference at E3, but have not specified a time and date.

They'll never top Konami though I don't know why they keep having these conferences after that one. And the Ubisoft one where they had laser tag but worse and James Cameron explained the entire plot of Avatar.

[chronovore]

I've never understood the relevance of E3 after they did that downsizing thing to tents, and then tried to regain their lost momentum.

[seagrams hotsauce]

I'm looking forward to the shitty concerts that somehow get more awkward for everyone involved each year

If you squint, I think you can see Twintelle winning this match.

[bluemax]

Predictions:

Nintendo has nothing new to announce, maybe more footage of Mario.

Sony has 1 big first/second party title for the fall and everything else gets pushed back to next year.

Microsoft has Halo or Gears or um, Forza?

Konami has more pachinko.

Square Enix Eidos has more Tomb Raider and some FFXV DLC.

Bethesda has jank you don't want.

EA has sports games and Battlefield and maybe a racing game.

Ubisoft has Farcry 5 and nothing else worth talking about.

Capcom has some garbage DLC for MvCI and probably another crappy Resident Evil game.

From Software has a teaser for another piece of janky shit that everyone will convince themselves is good because it is hard but it is only hard because it is poorly programmed and badly designed.

There will be almost nothing announced for the 3DS and no mention of the PSVita, PSVR or other sub platforms.

[thisismyusername]

Konami has more pachinko.

Metal Gear Survive.

I'd be happy if we just get more Xenoblade 2 info and a US date for DQ11. My stretch wish is Crossbell localizations now that the Trails in the Sky games have been translated.

It's good that you're disappointed already, because then you'll be in that mindframe when Nintendo does their thing!

You will attempt to spin it like the incapable of critical thought fanthing you are no matter what it is

[bork]

You know what I'd like to see from Nintendo?  Release dates for all those "Nindies" announced months ago.  They haven't said anything about a number of them since then.  And where is Pocket Rumble, which was supposed to be released in March?

[Tasty]

My overall point is that Wrath, bluemax, etc. think they won't show anything other than Mario and literally won't announce any new games. Just going by the odds, that's almost definitely wrong.

They're gonna announce some new games lol. That's really all I'm saying and all I'm expecting.

Tomorrow's gonna set the tone though, if the Pokemon Direct is for anything other than Stars on Switch the entire thing will already be a disappointment for me.

[BobFromPikeCreek]

From Software games aren't even hard
 

[archie4208]

They're hard, but fair. 

[Positive Touch]

sony is gonna have god of war front and center and my god there is no possible way i could have less interest in that

[Let's Cyber]

Pretty much. The game looked great graphically but I have zero emotional investment in that petulant douchebag Kratos as a character. The gameplay better be awesome to even get my remotely interested.

[Tasty]

I heard it's one "unbroken cut" which is a neat idea for games but otherwise it looks meh.

[Positive Touch]

like there's no cutaway during the story or between levels? isn't that what thousands of games already do?

[Tasty]

like there's no cutaway during the story or between levels? isn't that what thousands of games already do?

Dunno I'm assuming it means:

- No load screens.
- In-game cutscenes.
- Seamless transitions to and from cutscenes.
- No cuts in the cutscenes.

Think Birdman.

That's pretty impressive if it's done for an entire game. Actually, since the game will be like 20(?) hours, doing an entire day in real-time 24-style could actually be cool as fuck to see.

[VomKriege]

We're recycling MGS5 rumors now ?
The whole notion of "no cut" for a game is pretty dumb.

[TakingBackSunday]

Tons of 4chan rumors not rooted in reality and miles better than what we're going to get floating around.

It's almost that wonderful time of hate and despair. I'm so ready.

post some pls

I hope the MH one isn't true, not cause I'm that much of a platform warrior (traditional MH5 for PS4 and Switch would be great), but the 4chan rumor about MH5 being a babby casual game and the Switch "spinoff" being more traditional and developed by the real MH devs sounds like a horrid direction for the series as a whole.

Also I'm fairly sure that Starfield thing is legit

Source is vaguely credible, like they all pretend to be. Leaked MHXX for 3DS day before it was announced, when nobody thought MHX would get a new/G version.

pls stop posting e3 spoilers, omg

[Positive Touch]

If I have one nonsensical request(since most if not all hinted/rumored/whatever games I want I think are too far fetched), it would be Doom 2(5?) announced.

Doesn't have to be this year, just show me that shit.

whatever id's next game is, it's a year or two away at minimum. doom's barely a year old. fingers crossed for a nice big standalone single player expansion tho.

[bluemax]

I feel like some Doom DLC is probably a solid expectation but I'm basing that off nothing but my gut.

Apparently Bethesda is hiring for a AAA Freemium game, so maybe they're trying to get into the MoBA/Character shooter market (although they already have Quake champions...).

I never said they'll only show Mario, I said they announced all their games for the year back in January I.E. Mario, ARMS, Splatoon 2, etc.

Read the rest of my post. They're going to announce new games.

We might even get one tomorrow, in fact!

Now, how many of those will be ports or straight-up 3DS games is anyone's guess.

Nintendo routinely surprise-announces things only a few months in advance, unlike other publishers. They've been doing this since the Wii.

Majorly cuckolded just now by Game Freak.

Yes? Stupid bitch

[Tasty]

They didn't announce what's different other than some legendaries having stupid crystals on their faces and it being an "alternate" story to Sun/Moon with different Pokemon in the main quest.

Might be the first mainline games I don't buy.

Always bet against, Nintendo, Andy. After 20 years of Fantardism, you'd think you'd know better by now.

[Tasty]

I still find the statement "Nintendo won't announce a single new game during E3" preposterous, though. That hasn't changed.

And Pokken DX, UltraSun and UltraMoon technically are new games. So there!

[thisismyusername]

You're moving goal posts if you count those as "new games" and not "enhanced editions." By that token, I could say something like "PC got the Witcher 1: Enhanced Edition this year! TRULY GETTING NEW TITLES!"

I still find the statement "Nintendo won't announce a single new game during E3" preposterous, though.

Their entire MO since they pulled out of E3 has been to not announce new titles or if they do they're so very far away they might as well not have bothered.

Nintendo is going to do another drought for their new console instead of trying to put effort in, book it Dano. Because you know their operations after 4 cycles now.

[Tasty]

This is like the opposite of what happened. I know gamers have the attention span of a fly, but even last year despite saying they were dedicating the entire thing to Zelda they still announced some new things.

E3 2016 new game announcements:
- Mario Party Star Rush
- Ever Oasis

E3 2015 new game announcements:
- The Legend of Zelda: Triforce Heroes
- Metroid Prime: Federation Force
- Yoshi's Woolly World
- Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash
- Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam

E3 2014 new game announcements:
- Hyrule Warriors
- The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
- Star Fox Zero
- Kirby and the Rainbow Curse
- Super Mario Maker
- Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
- Splatoon
- Xenoblade Chronicles X
- Code Name S.T.E.A.M.

E3 2013 new game announcements:
- Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS
- New Super Luigi U
- The Wonderful 101
- Wii Party U

Probably some other stuff I forgot. And "very far away?" The vast majority of the games above came out within a year of their announcement. The only outlier is Zelda. Goddamn you have a terrible memory. And/or a huge revisionist history bent.

Since they haven't said this year is dedicated to a single game I'm going to assume it'll be like 2013-2015.

As for moving goal posts, all I've been arguing against is the notion of the lack of new game announcements since the start of the thread:

They're gonna announce some new games lol. That's really all I'm saying and all I'm expecting.

Whether the games look exciting or not isn't what I was talking about.
