Just caught the end of the EA show. Who is that red eyed birdperson?

That was a fucking pathetic display from EA.

That was one of the worst trainwreck garbage conferences I've ever seen, holy shit how pathetic EA has become.

Amen bro.
I mean you have Anthem, a game that is probably Bioware's LAST REAL CHANCE at survival, and THAT'S all we get?
THAT'S IT?
-
Oh well, you all. The less desirable EA makes themselves look to us all the better right? Aren't they one of the companies that have brought loot boxes into their main games? shudders I definitely don't want to play any games like that.
-
That Anthem trailer did nothing to convince me to be interested in it. At all. No real sense of story or character (Bioware's strongpoints).
Not even any actual gameplay? Last year's trailer had something pretending to be gameplay at least. (with fake audio overlayed.)
Guess I'll stick to Warframe.

They did the loot boxes for Star Wars that got them into a tooooon of trouble. They're swearing Anthem will have none of it.
So I'm sure it'll be the Mass Effect online system of terrible loot boxes instead..

pops head out
Sees EA conference
Meh….
heads back into Disgaea 5 for Switch

EA was bad, but I can't say I didn't expect that. Unravel Two and Sea of Solitude looked nice.
But my God, EA is the absolute WORST when it comes to presentation. How many times did they just have someone come out and talk about a game without showing any substantial gameplay? The most gameplay they showed was for a mobile game, for crying out loud, and that just went on and on and on. Even Anthem, arguably their biggest game this conference, looked bland and uninspired the way they showed it off.
-
They had gameplay for Anthem, or at least a self contained scripted thing being sold as gameplay. It was after they spent 15 minutes talking over a concept art loop with 2 or 3 short "gameplay" sequences though.I've h

The reason why it's all we got is it's clearly nowhere near being finished. Did you notice the constant cuts during gameplay with framerate dips during shooting? Those cuts were to cover up the game glitching and dropping to single digit framerate. Sure the bits we saw look good but how can anyone get excited by a game that's clearly broken and glitchy af.

At least there wasn't a Jesse Moment.

All the gameplay shown was already shown months ago. The only new footage was the cinematic trailer that did nothing to serve as a hook. The audience didn't even react to it at all, and that's teling.
ANd it looks incredibly boring.
Like, you're playing Iron Man flying around the world shooting giant monster things. Why does it look so so slow and dull?
I remember when the first Horizon gameplay trailer came out I didn't believe it was actual gameplay, I assumed it was just an opening quicktime event thing. But nope, 100% legit mecha dinosaur roping.
This is just… I dunno.
But like I said, I got Warframe. Which is fast, fluid, had dozens of suits, and constant expansion
-
I've seen many EA E3 conferences in my time and that seriously may have been the worst.
Special shoutout to the immediate chorus of boos about ten minutes in when they announced a battle royale mode.

Do we know that for sure? The edits seemed to be to just parse things down. They said that exact scenario was playable on the floor. I imagine if it was significantly different from what was shown in the presentation it wouldn't be a secret for very long.

I wonder if Anthem tanking will be the last nail in the coffin for Bioware.

I don't want Anthem's failure to affect dragon Age 4. Sadly, I know that's not gonna happen.

If they can get excited for an Elder Scrolls or Fallout game they can get excited for this.

I'd get excited for a Fallout game by Obsidian.
-
First thought was to travel back in time, to show some C&C fans what the only C&C port in 2018 looks like.

-
If Anthem tanks, Bioware tanks with it.
EA won't hesitate, they won't show mercy.
-
Kinda sucks that Dragon Age 4 is being held hostage to a game I don't care about that has nothing to do with it.
-
Watched the EA conference out of curiosity. I don't get how a company can exist that makes games look so aggressively boring.

EA will keep on existing since so many of their consumers are not well informed. Just look at FIFA and Battlefront II. Even after the fuckery they pulled with Battlefront II, it still sold generally well.

I hope BioWare does not make Dragon Age 4 as some online MMO. That is the nail in the coffin for me. Already the trend looks to be going in that direction.

Easy, the FIFA licence will keep them afloat until the end of times.

Can we please agree EA is a godamn shithole.

Kind of hard to do that when Konami is still around.

There's an exclusivity afforded to the title of Shithole?

there are tiers, bimonthly award ceremony, a crown of gold covered in shit, seasonal challenges, a ladder system, two tournaments and no less than 20 categories where they are evaluated.
There must allways be a shithole king.
-
Can Terry Crews narrate all trailers.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Alright that's "somber really bad cover of a popular song" scratched off my bingo.
-
Microsoft was doing pretty well with their rapid fire trailers until now. Why spend time on a racing game of all things?
-
I have no interest in Forza Horizon and I don't know who is.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
At least they didn't brought a fucking car to stage.
-
Forza games still sell gangbusters in America (Gran Turismo is the racing game of choice in Europe.)

Wait they bought Ninja Theory?
-
@Cyan:
Wait they bought Ninja Theory?
Yeah. They did.
-
This is a magical trailer.
-
So Shadows Die Twice is actually Sekiro: Nioh Redux: Samurai Souls.
Thought it was Xbox exclusive for a second and nearly had a heart attack. Phew.
…Ori 2 also looks great. ...Upside-down minecart sequence.
-
When's Cyberpunk?
-
They had to choose to spend most of their time on the worse games.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
That Division 2 is just....not good.
-
What the fuck are you doing Matt.
-
At least 5 of those games will re-appear in the next conferences.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
But Vesperia was actually neat. Yo, Robby! That version of that game you like so much is finally coming!
But not for PS4.
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
Oh wait nevermind. They never said it was exclusive.
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
That wasn't Skate 4.
-
Announce Skate 4 you fucking cowards.
-
Oh my Gooooooooooooooood!
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
DMC 5 bitches! Third times the charm!
-
A new Devil May Cry for the road.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Yesssssssssssssssss more Cuphead, inject it into my arteries.
-
Tales of Vesperia confirmed for XBOX One, Switch, PS4 and Steam.
Edit: The Bandai Namco Tweet just got deleted.
-
Can't watch the actual conference but I'm following people posting stuff on Twitter and it looks like no Rocksteady Superman game.
booooooo.
-
Confirmed: Luffy can beat Freeza.
-
I'd honestly just prefer another game like Jump Ultimate Stars. Would be even better if it wasn't just Shonen Jump series but I imagine the licensing for that would be impossible to do.
