Is this obsidian fallout thing a joke or no?

Edit: nm, I just watched the outer worlds trailer.

Looks awesome... but I almost fear it uses the creation engine, except for the animation looked far too good.

[Svejk]

Best on going game??  Where in the shit is Warframe??!

It's a "joke" because they're beating Beth to the punch with a sci-fi Fallout/Elderscrolls. That's it. You're overthinking everything.

Yet: Persona 5: Crimson in bound.

[Svejk]

If Reggie doesn't bring in Metroid Prime 4...

I hope they do this...I'd like to play this game on a portable.

[CatsCatsCats]

Oh dat space cowboy game okay gworl

[kingv]

Not sure what I think about the marvel ultimate alliance trailer. It looks like they changed perspective, but I’m not really sure that it’s not just to make it look cooler for the show.

But I don’t really want to play it if it’s diablo style and a beat em up makes more sense for ninja theory.

[TakingBackSunday]

both metroid prime 4 and retro are fucking dead

[CatsCatsCats]

Thought y’all meant DC’s joker at first

[tiesto]

The Persona 5 x Smash thing is by far the most interesting thing. So glad I bought the season pass.

[bork]

Cool, this shit's almost done.  Let's see if they show anything good to close it out.

[thisismyusername]

What is up with that dude's shirt and suit!?

I'm glad to see new, original, fresh games like God Of War winning GOTY

Nah, not yet.  Not shitting on the game, just LOLing that it's another "AAA" game winning it again as usual.

[bork]

LMAO, no final big reveals?

[TakingBackSunday]

metroid is dead

[Great Rumbler]

LMAO, no final big reveals?

[Himu]

Psychonauts 2 looks cool.

[tiesto]

No Metroid? Whaaa?

[thetylerrob]

Why do you Nintendo folks ever get your hopes up for anything? They’ve been disappointing y’all for 10+ years at this point.

[thisismyusername]

Considering the only two Nintendo IPs I give a fuck about is Pokemon and Metroid let me make this official: Anyone expecting a new Metroid game in 2XXX is setting themselves up for massive disappointment. That series has been dead for nearly a decade, with only a "remake" because a fan-remake. Let it go, sons.

[Don Rumata]

Wtf throwing away my RDR2 copy right this moment.
I can't enjoy a game without the official approval of TGA.

72-page thread about Metroid Prime 4 @ TGA2018

No idea if you're joking or not- they have a 35 page thread about Boogie2988 being there.

On the other hand, it's not NSDAP endorsed...

I'm expecting Metroid Prime 4 because Nintendo already announced it.   

If nobody from Nintendo confirmed it would be shown at this show, that's just another case of people getting all hyped up based on dumb rumors.  Look at all the people going crazy for the Avengers 4 trailer that keeps not getting shown.

Prime 4 was announced at TGA last year. So I don't think it was that insane to think there could have been a followup.

[TakingBackSunday]

this is patently untrue.  they've been disappointing me for my entire fucking life

Huh?  No it wasn't.  It was announced at E3 2017.

[benjipwns]

Prime 4 always seemed like such an odd announcement to make. The fourth game...in a trilogy...that ended a decade ago...and didn't sell that well in the first place?

It felt like Halo 4's weird thing where they were all IT'S TOTALLY NEW, BUT THE SAME BUT NOT, PLUS ALL YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTERS, ON A NEW WORLD FAR AWAY!

[benjipwns]

A Super Metroid remake makes way more sense to me anyway.

[Rahxephon91]

Prime 4 was announced at TGA last year. So I don't think it was that insane to think there could have been a followup.

Huh?  No it wasn't.  It was announced at E3 2017.

Oh I guess I was thinking of Bayonetta 3.

[Rahxephon91]

All things considered, I actually think this was a decently put together show. There weren't any celebrity guests that seemed too outlandish or just there for the money and pr. I mean I can imagine Rivers Cumo and Jonah Hill having some interests in games. And besides "nerds" probably like them. I mean there was the Alita cast being there that was obviously just an ad, but still not far off from the game audience. There was no talking down to gamers, instead an actual celebration of games. I think the show does a good job balancing it's focus on big stuff and small stuff. I mean there's only so much it can do with it an artform that has the Mortal Kombat trailer as a show piece, but I still think it has enough class and dignity for that it is.

So I actually hope this thing keeps going.

[benjipwns]

I believe it does quite well for itself. But it had more clout for those exclusive trailers during that period when there was only E3 at mid-year and it sitting at end-year. Now there's shows or presentations every month practically, Gamescom has become an equal to E3 especially with European devs, PAX is around seemingly endlessly, etc.

I think it might do better on the exclusives if it was positioned to "start the gaming year" and be the pre-E3/1stQuarter show, rather than come after the four month rush of E3/TGS/Gamescom/Blizzcon/Quakecon/etc... you know, except for that part where they want the awards out before the Christmas season.

I thought it was really good at the beginnjng, and has a good final battle, but is pretty full and dumb for large portions of the middle.

I also didn't really like the combat much. So many reskins.

[Nintex]

Metroid Prime 4 was pulled at the last minute by NCL because they've decided to a late year Direct instead.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Qanons Nintendo fans fall for it every time.

[HardcoreRetro]

Wait, some indie game that looks like the following beat Octopath for best art direction?

Obra Dinn is fantastic. Don't sleep on it, worth playing.

It's by the Papers, Please! guy. At the very least it's one of the most interesting games released this year.

good I didn't stay up for this shit    Why did MS buy a studio to make multiplats though

This Obsidian and The Outer Worlds? Private Division are publishing, like that arrangement with Gearbox Publishing when MS acquired Compulsion Games. Certainly disappointed at how We Happy Few turned out though, 

[Svejk]

This was officially the worst year for conferences/shows/whatever the fuck game shit.  E3 blew ass (except that Cyberpunk reveal), TGS, Gamescom and PAX were  , no PSX even this year, and this was the nail in the coffin....
I would've rather had the Fuck the Oscars guy back than that cringe worthy Fox guy.  That was embarrassing.  2019 couldn't get here soon enough.

2019: "Hold my beer"

[tiesto]

Ehh, aside from the Joker dlc there were a few "OK, I'd try that" games but nothing that makes me want to drop everything for. I'm not a big fan of wrpg/fps hybrids so Obsidian's title was like ehh... and a bit over the artsy indie game stuff i.e. The Pathless.

Outside of the stellar Nintendo line-up 2019 and the early 2019 Capcom goodness 2019 will be mostly asset flips such as Far Cry until next gen rolls along in 2020.

Because having them make Xbone exclusives would be a sure way to get them shut down in no time.

I assume it was already stuff in dev too.

It's cute that you think "next-gen" is not going to be asset flips.
