E3 2018 Thread

I mean Death Stranding didn't really show too much gameplay, if any. I doubt it's gonna a walking simulator like everybody was spamming in the twitch chat lmao.

Well it's not just about gameplay. The trailer itself was the most captivating thing I've seen from this E3, easily. As long as you have a unique trailer and not some schlocky seen-it-before nonsense I'm game. I've never played Resident Evil but their trailer was super interesting, too. The Japs just know what they're doing.

Nioh is made by Japanese people😏

Yeah, and I'm sure it'll be good, but I don't care about CGI trailers as they don't do anything for me and thus don't impact the scores I give these conferences.

I don't think of it that way. E3 is something they might not have anything ready for it but they want to let people know they're making the game. It's a good way to build excitement.

If a CGI announcement trailer is all they have at the time, that'll do, imo. Better than just a single title on a screen.

How is that better? They accomplish the same thing.

But that's what I'm saying it's so early in development they probably don't want to do that.

Then maybe it's too early to announce the game? There's a good video on that subject actually, how games are announced too early and how it actually can make a game worse. I'll see if I can find it.

There are exemptions to what can typically be a shady practice.

Yeah of course, I'm not offended by TES or Nioh CGI trailers, they just didn't do anything for me.

Well jeez with this logic they might as well walk past the stage with a cardboard sign that says Nioh 2 on it lmao

Tell me that wouldn't be hype as fuck. No one would see it coming.

Personal preference. Visual stimulation. It's just something to watch, regardless of how the game itself turns out.

looks like i missed a day of memes while at work today

Kingdom Hearts 3 2019 REEEEE

DMC5 has to be one of the most hype reveals so far tbh. Spiderman looks better every time it's shown. The suspense building up to seeing Leon in the RE2make cinematic was fantastic. Sekiro looked great as well.

I actually liked Ghost of Tsushima. I'd like to see more about it before I would buy it, though.

I will say that it all comes down to execution. Having something animated for the Prime 4 announcement like Samus' visor lighting up before the logo shot (or like what they did for Samus Returns) would have been more hype.

Not as hype as just walking across the stage with the title on a piece of cardboard, though.

- did someone shout "freebird" during the banjo performance that's hilarious
- don't care about tlou2, but it pisses me off that people are triggered over the lesbian thing
- THE FUCKING INTERMISSION lmao, followed by an awkward venue change? what a trainwreck
- ghost of tsushima looks better to me than that from game, honestly (shame about the audio issues though)
- control: oh good, more girls with guns, just what we needed
- FUCK that resident evil trailer, i thought it was gonna be some cool game where you play as a rat, but NO we need more fucking zombie games guys THERE'S JUST NOT ENOUGH OF THEM
- kingdom hearts can fuck off

it was at this point in the presentation that i realized i was watching a BAD conference

- they've been stringing us along about death stranding for so goddamn long, i simply don't care whatever it is at this point, and that long, drawn-out, boring-ass trailer didn't help matters—i hate how all the mystery surrounding the game is just "ooh, what's going through kojima's fucked up mind???" because it's unearned intrigue, you haven't shown me anything innately interesting
-spider-man looks good (finally something positive to say)

and that was... that was it

4/10

they really let me down this time

at least now no one can accuse me of being a sony fanboy this year

HOLYYYY FUCKING SHIIIIIIITTT YEEEEEESSSA

calm down it was just a logo

Missed presentations count: 4.

EA, Sony, PC w/e, Bethesda. Maybe I should watch them when I get time.

i don't mind KH or disney—i mean, it's a lame crossover—but it just seems silly to me that KH3 has been showcased in three separate conferences
