E3 2019 Thread - Nintendevolver wins again, baybee!! 20 years in a row!!

[Rahxephon91]

I don't think MS showed anything bad. Every game they showed look pretty good. It's just nothing the showed does anything for thier platform solely. But I guess now thier platform is PC and Xbox anyway.  Yet, now I really feel there's no real identity too or reason to have an xbox. You can shit on Sony's "cinematic Uncharted clones", but at least when I think of Playstation I think of an actual brand that means something. MS just seems like whatever and this conference really did nothing to change that.

Tales looked good. Though now I guess it's more God Eater then simple anime fantasy. So it's now a bit more trashy, but at least it looks like it may be a slight change.

Oh please. You’ll give us several rants about how so and so series is dying or gaming sucks when they show a new game in some Japanese game series.

Didn’t say I didn’t rant. Just that your particular rant was hilarious because it wasn’t even provoked. Borys flat out said he likes modern games and you acted like some butt hurt fantard and wrote ALL OF THAT TEXT when no one said shit about modern games.

I have even been more positive about modern games and even as a week ago made a thread about how I am looking forward to this E3. The majority of this thread is positive and said Jack shit about modern games and then you wrote a dissertation about modern games no one asked for, wasn’t pertinent to the subject just because Borys thinks the new Star Wars game looks bad despite earnestly pleading he likes modern games.

When I rant, I do so with tact and on topic.

Um no.  It was provoked, by Bory's littarly attacking my opinion or can you just not read? I wrote a "dissertation" about my opinions on AAA games, because Broy's said (un-asked for too) that my opinion on modern games is wrong because I "suck the dick" of AAA games. I did'nt care that he likes or dislikes or whatever the new Star Wars game, that's not what my post was all about.

Next time actually know what the fuck your talking about before making a comment.

don't fucking talk to cindi like that. I'll slap the shit out of you, lil bitch

[Himu]

She is being menaced by weird shadow monsters, I'd be pretty scared too.

Ah the first story alteration we've seen. But does that answer the real question: will they put Genesis in?

[pilonv1]

sounds like I've missed nothing then

[Human Snorenado]

plus whatever new info Nintendo doles out about Fire Emblem.

you know it's going for a persona rip off this time right

I'm still here for it

[Joe Molotov]

Fire Emblem that's a persona rip-off just makes me want it more.

[Rahxephon91]

At least this generation is going out with some cool games.

[Human Snorenado]

Besides it totally looks like FE meets Persona meets Hogwart's

[Great Rumbler]

[naff]

Just watch the trailers, much quicker that way.

you play as a teacher. will you be romancing your students like a good amirox?

[naff]

 

[Himu]

Despite not really clicking with Witcher 3, Cyberpunk looks great and up my alley.

[Himu]

Love how Vinny almost always has a confused face on during E3

[benjipwns]

that wolfenstein will let you invite a friend to play without them having to buy a copy, like old GBA multiplayer on one cart

spoiler (click to show/hide)

so only the first four tracks from SNES Mario Kart

[close]

[benjipwns]

[paprikastaude]

-Cyberpunk was cool, of course, and I'm happy that it finally has a release date
-New Arkane game is good news
-Doomy Turtle looked fantastic
-I'm interested in seeing more about Ghostwire
-Cried tears of joy seeing Fallout 76 finally become a real game
-News Tales looks pretty great
-Elden Rings will probably be cool

That's it so far.

not bad for late gen   Don't give a shit about Deathloop, but for now I'm curiously optimistic that Tango can do something other than TEW.

[benjipwns]

Why is My Pee Red ?
5 hours ago
xbox more like xgay

BOOM!

[Himu]

After catching up I'm thinking late gen might be fantastic this gen.

- Cyberpunk looks cool af
- Gears 5 looks cool
- that cute deer game
- Psychonauts 2
- 12 minutes
- Elden Ring
- Tales of
- DOOM
- Gears 5

Good shit.

[paprikastaude]

Was there nothing about Metal Wolf from Devolver?

[Himu]

Who is devolver? what games do they make and why do they seem awesome?

[benjipwns]

they're an indie publisher, probably most popular titles are Hotline Miami, Serious Sam, Shadow Warrior, Luftrausers, but they've published a tons of stuff

their CFO and Chief Synergy Officer are wonderful people

[benjipwns]

lmao special promotion for Devolver Bootleg is five cents off

[benjipwns]

Wasn't sure about getting this game but when I saw it for 1% off I just had to have it!

I bought this on special promotion and saved 1%, THANKS DIGITAL DEVOLVER!

They already did that. It's called Tokyo Mirage Sessions.

Luftrousers
Hello, I am Rami Ismail, ½ of Dutch independent game development studio, Vlambeer. We made a version of Luftrausers that had a typo, and JW left the thumbdrive containing the source at a coffee shop somewhere while I was doing a talk in Berlin, then Nairobi, then in Los Angeles the following day. If you find the thumbdrive, can you please return it and please PLEASE do not share the contents with anyone or add it to a compilation of pirated, under-the-table ripoffs of games that Devolver has published.

[VomKriege]

I mean it's cool, but Keanu Reeves isn't a great actor (beyond action roles, anyway), so aside from the meme value, it's not much.

I mean he was in Matrix and Johnny Mnemonic (the original badwestern cyberpunk film with Kitano as a cameo, GitS couldn't even get that right lol) so he's pretty topical too.

It's a small thing but the Arkane's game "grindhouse" intro and outro are kinda tired. I'm intrigued if the premise (unique rival enemy, branching paths ?) entails some specific gameplay loop though.

[thisismyusername]

Was there nothing about Metal Wolf from Devolver?

Nope. I'm thinking there's source code issues.

Who is devolver? what games do they make and why do they seem awesome?

The people saving E3.

Hotline Miami 1-2, Strafe, My Friend Pedro, SCUMM, Talos Principal, Shadow Warrior (or just 2), Weedcraft Inc., Genital Jousting, Red Strings Club, Ruiner, Blockhood, Hatoful Boyfriend, Enter the Gungion... Broforce, Olli Olli (or just 2 IIRC), NOT A HERO, the Talos Principal (basically Portal under a different name and without Portals).

They're an indie developer that makes publishes some pretty fun (IMO) games. You probably wouldn't like most of their stuff if you're not into the punk/subversive nature of them.

[Nintex]

"When is Cyberpunk launching?"
"It says April 2020 but that's only how far this fiscal year goes..." 
"April 2020?, not great, not terrible."
"But maybe they'll wait for Scarlett"

"I don't give a shit about Scarlett I need games in my console."

[Nintex]

Cyberpunk 2077 looks insane and the presentation was just perfect.
Me and my bro were pretty much jumping up and down on the couch in excitement like a bunch of kids watching Pokemon during that segment.

"HOLY SHIT... KEANU WAAAAAAAT THE FUCK HOLY FUCKING SHIT"

[Svejk]

Cyberpunk and FFVIIR Spring of 2020.   


Both getting totally delayed.   

[Nintex]

So far it looks like this gen is going out with a bang. This is what I like so far sans the yet to be shown Nintendo/Ubisoft/Square Enix stuff:

- Battlefield V DLC
- Battletoads
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
- CONTROL
- Cyberpunk 2077
- Deathpool
- Death Stranding
- Doom Eternal
- Elden Ring
- Forza Horizon 4 - LEGO
- Gears 5
- Ghostwire
- HALO Infinite
- Ori and the Will of the Wisps
- Pokemon Sword / Shield
- Star Wars: Jedi the Fallen Order
- Wolfenstein Youngblood

In terms of surprises meh, in terms of content a pretty good E3.

[Raist]

The meltdowns about Cyberpunk downgrades are going to be glorious.

E3 2020: "With Cyberpunk 2077 Enhanced Edition on XBox Scarlet and PS5, you'll get the real, definitive experience.  Only $79.99 pre-order now!!!"

[Great Rumbler]

I know it's cool to dump on Bethesda/Fallout 76 these days, but I do appreciate that they didn't just dump the game and move on to their next project.

[demi]

Trails of Cold Steel 3 coming in September - right alongside Borderlands 3 and Destiny 2 Shadowkeep

Oy vey

[BisMarckie]

I know it's cool to dump on Bethesda/Fallout 76 these days, but I do appreciate that they didn't just dump the game and move on to their next project.

Their next game is probably at least 2 years away. It's not like they had much of a choice

[headwalk]

bit gutted that the protag in cyberpunk is such a vanilla ass dude. i'm not talking race or exact spot on the gender sonograph either, just that he/she/it seems like the standard issue brooding bad ass dickhead that only sort of worked in the witcher because geralt was such a massive over the the top preening goober that it was funny.

love it if you were an overt fuck up waster from the start. seems like it'll be another case of a world full of compelling interesting characters except the one you spend the entire game with.

It's a player created character. Fill your boots.

[benjipwns]

- Splinter Cell

As part of a recent Kotaku Splitscreen podcast, Schreier stated the following: "I've asked a bunch of people about this because everybody wants to know if a Splinter Cell game is coming," Schreier said, "Everyone I've talked to has said no, as far as they know there is no Splinter Cell game in production."

lol you haven't paid attention to fucking ANYTHING about this game other than this one trailer and it fucking shows, get rekt

this is all aesthetics or stats though isn't it? it'll all be the 90% same dialogue with the same voice actor/s.

you could play geralt in a few ways but they all amounted to him being a massive twat.

lol you haven't paid attention to fucking ANYTHING about this game other than this one trailer and it fucking shows, get rekt

what am i missing?

i want to love this game but playing generic videogame badass self insert is dull as fuck, even if i can put an eyepatch on it.

someone else pointed it out but the whole heist gone wrong/friend gets gutshot/crime lord doublecross/revenge arc is the blandest hand the trailer could've played. the witcher was always at its best when it veered off the tropes and went into godlike bloody baron territory. i can't tell if the writers at CDPR are massively inconsistent or just accountable to the sort of people who stand on stage in a bomber jacket and bootcut jeans who demand they hit the generic AAA bullet points often enough, and are engaged in a constant power struggle between compelling writing and player fellating badassery.

not saying it'll be shite, but i sat there waiting for the trailer with my fanboy pants on and they didn't even get damp.

[Coax]

Will be interesting if by the time neural network created speech synthesis matures sufficiently whether it may even be used for games. Rather than record all dialog with voice actors specifically for a part it could be trained on hundreds of hours of pre-existing voiced dialog. Could have something like voice licensing agreements with actors at presumably a much cheaper cost, adding variety to such RPGs.

[Himu]

Holy fuck

[thisismyusername]

It'll just be the phone versions, with a fixed UI I'd guess.

LMAO, yeah.

[tiesto]

Watched the MS conference, no interest in EA or Bethesda so I didn't bother with them. PSO2 finally getting an official release was probably my biggest surprise, and the Xenoblade-ish Tales is a must-play of course. Definitely gonna get Cyberpunk but will probably wait till the inevitable next gen remaster.

Here's hoping SE brings some exciting stuff. And the Switch dominating in Japan breaks open the floodgates to a lot of cool Japanese exclusives being announced tomorrow.

I think the only one of those left on the Play Store is BG1:EE.     Wanted to get BG2, but they all mysteriously got pulled.  Along with the Shadowrun games.  Much disappoint.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

So far it looks like this gen is going out with a bang. This is what I like so far sans the yet to be shown Nintendo/Ubisoft/Square Enix stuff:

- Battletoads

I'm gonna strongly, strongly, STRONGLY, suggest you look at the games DLALA studios have made prior to getting the battletoads licence, and adjust your expectations accordingly.

[Leadbelly]

If FF7R doesn't get delayed to Fall 2020, i'll be really fucking shocked.

Even if it doesn't, the game is in 3 parts though, right? They have every opportunity to fuck this up, especially considering the 2nd part of the trilogy will fall slap bang into the next gen. They could just continue developing for the previous consoles at that point, but I can see them upgrading it for the next gen consoles. And as was the case before, maybe not getting to grips with the new hardware and it plummeting into development hell. lol

We'll see.

[Himu]

Living in the past.

Why so serious/ jaded/ pathetic?

Classics are classics and timeless.

Calling someone pathetic over an off-hand comment is totally not too serious lol

Just think “Holy fuck”-ing over 30 year old games is kinda silly.

It's the first time they've ever been on console. :dahell

[nachobro]

anything that lets more people play planescape torment is good by me

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

Planescape torment is one of a handful of games that people who actually read books will say is well written without the "for a videogame" qualifier

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

EVIL GENIUS 2, MEH3 REDEEMED

Planescape torment is one of a handful of games that people who actually read books will say is well written without the "for a videogame" qualifier
