What the fuck, Chris Avellone is working on Dying Light 2.
E3 2018 Thread: Nintendo, You're My Only Hope

You know, all this is good and all, but…Could they at least not play the same game again in the next conferences?

Huh. He's been doing a lot of work around in general.
-
I mean, Nintendo will only have 30 minutes apparently and this appears to go 2 hours.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
And Sony will probably stick to the one hour limit.
-
This being Avellone, there will be numerous characters that exist solely for him to rant at the player about his views on Fallout.

Who's ready for FUCKING BATTLETOADS
-
Holy crap, are they showing the whole SE Conference here?
-
The person who greenlighted another Battletoads should be shot imo.
-
Hahahahahahahahahahaha!
-
Halo 6 finally! Infinite looks awesome
-
Oh fuck me it's an XCOM game.
-
It's still going on? How long is this thing?…
-
Welp. I guess Microsoft wins. By like showing half of stuff that ain't exclusive.
-
Okay that Cyberpunk entrance was pretty cool. Not sure about the footage itself though. We still don't really know how it'll play. And the voice being there makes me think it'll be a character like Geralt rather than creating your own but maybe not.
-
watches Cyberpunk trailer
neat! …can I have Witcher 4 instead?
-
Pretty great conference.
Just in terms of games and announcements I'd give it an A-/A. A couple of duds (Who thought Gears of Funko was a good idea?) but generally really good.
Unfortunately, almost everything they spent an extended amount of time on bored me, so as a viewing experience it was just a B+. Still, could end up being the best of show if Sony under preforms (although my Nintendo bias will probably win out for my personal favorite).
EDIT: Rethinking it, games wise it's probably just a B+/A- game wise and a B presentation wise. Still really good though.
-
This conference made me want an Xbox.
They'd better have a limited edition Battletoads one.
-
One or two things that look good or interesting to me, none of which are exclusive to xboner. Then again, what really is besides Halo and Gears of Bore?
-
Hahaha.
-
Battletoads eh? Neat.
Though really they could probably just port the arcade game no one ever saw and call it a day.
-
Didn't expect a new Battletoads, can I preorder it from Gamestop?
-
I dunno how to react to Jump Force. We are due for the 50th aniversary game, and they keept to SSJ Goku and teen Boruto's dad, went with the four more recognizable series (I'd guess).
Spike chunsoft has developed on the side of fighting games the godaful Jump Stars Victory Vs, and One Piece Burning blood (who's quality is a complete mystery to me)

The art style is too dark for my taste, and it's weird that didn't go with Deku for the final cameo. At least it wasn't Asta.
-
The new Halo looks like it goes back to its open world Halo CE roots. Looks way better than the super linear Halo 5 and 4, which were pretty meh imo.
-
Oh goody. Battletoads: Nuts and Bolts
-

Well no one outside of the people who played the arcade cabinet and the port that was on Rare Replay.
-
Why is Tales exclusive to X-Bone? I thought people who owned that console only cared about shooters and sports.

Spoilers: It isn't

How can Death Note work in a fighting game? So weird. But I'll play it lol.
-
You have to dodge enemy attacks while theres an on screen keyboard you have to type the name of your opponent to kill them "instantly "
-
I forgot about E3. I work through most of E3 so I'm missing the live fun. KH3 hype hasn't completely died, Frozen world brought some of it back. I'm already confused though because Larxene is there. DMC5 is a bit DmCish but could be a good middle ground. Need to go play DMC HD on steam. Looked at the Jump game then remembered I don't like anime fighters. Tales of Vesperia is the best Tales game I haven't played, that was a cruel decade NamcoBamco.

But do you need to write Goku? Son Goku? Kakarot?

You can use up half your hp bar to get the eyes of the shinigami and know exactly what you're supposed to write.
-
Deku op because most people call him that, and he's hiding his face.
-
New cuphead stuff! The new possible boss looks amazing
-
Regarding the conference, just finished watching it and probably because of following up the low, low bar of EA it actually felt pretty good. For the most part it was constant game after game, with brief talking heads for a handful of them.
That said, maybe it's just because it's me and I like nintendo and colors and personality and all that, but the constant onslaught of trailers starting with post-apocalyptic set-up and guns and "WE MUST DO WHAT IS NEEDED TO SURVIVE" really flies in the face of this whole Phil Spencer comment of them having "creativity".
And then the handful of games that flew in the face of that– cuphead, tunic, vesperia, kingdom hearts, battletoads-- are all either deeply third party and hence playable not on Xbox, or left with no gameplay for sometime in 2019 as in with cuphead and battletoads.
I guess this is why I've never wanted an xbox.
-
Okay, I'm genuinely excited for Vesperia, even more than I thought I would be. Dunno what language to set it in, but leaning toward English since I already did Japanese on PS3 (that said, the dubbed Jpop intro was weird as hell to listen to in the trailer).
It's such a good game, and even seeing little pieces of it in a trailer still reminded me of how it stands out compared to later entries… and earlier ones -- as much as I love Symphonia, it aged poorly. Instinctively I want to get it on Switch but between the game's size and concerns about performance, PS4 is probably the safest bet.
-
DMC5 is a bit DmCish but could be a good middle ground.
In terms of Gameplay or Design? Because it had the DMC4 vibe to me in terms of gameplay.
-
Microsoft had a good conference. Some great games coming, really looking forward to the new Tomb Raider.
-

Both. Gameplay was leaning toward classic DMC, but the character aesthetic kinda leaned toward DmC.
-
Great can't wait to play these games on pc
-
Also, Jump Force looks interesting, but doesn't the mass anime crossover game already exist? Or is that just for Shonen ones.
I mean if they FULLY commit to having as many anime characters, from as many different genres as possible, then i'm interested. Who doesn't wanna see Sakura from Cardcaptors throw down against Alucard?
-
The only ones are Shonen Jump related and that's all this one is going to be too. Going cross magazines would probably be impossible since you'd have to license all the characters. I'd love a game with tons of characters from tons of magazines but that isn't going to happen. The game probably won't have very many series worth of characters either.

Light writes "Vegeta" into the Death Note.
King Vegeta suddenly has a heart attack. Planet Vegeta explodes.

As funny as that would be, thankfully the manga actually addresses that upfront
You gotta have their face in your mind when you write it down.
Still would be fucking amazing though.
-
No joke the thought of beating the shit out of Light with Deku, Luffy, and probably Jotaro is greatly pleasing.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
The Rage 2 trailer is just Andrew W.K.
-
lol the cringe is real
-
Incredible. I already dislike this more than the EA conference.
-
Bethesda is pissed because everything leaked and all they have left is Andrew W.K.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
This is a good old-fashioned E3 charming trainwreck.
-
I'm 100% convinced that these cheers are scripted.
-
Reminder that Andrew W.K. was a character in Fallout 4.

I've played Fallout 4 and Nuka World to death and didn't know that. I'm surprised they got someone special to do RedEye.
Why does this hurt my pride?
