E3 2018 - Official Codex Thread - June 9th to 14th - Press Conferences, Trailers and Interviews

[Azalin]

So to sum this E3 up

Fallout is no longer an rpg but is now a Rust clone
MCA is now fat,working on a zombie game and trying to turn it into an rpg with dialogs and c&c
AssCreed is now an rpg with dialog trees and shit and it's going to be the highest selling rpg of 2018
Kojima is making an arthouse baggage carrying simulator
Cyberpunk 2077 is putting the punk back into cyberpunk
Seems like half the developers are making a samurai game
Frogwares' Cthulhu game might be good
No sight of the rumoured Superman game by Rocksteady
Sega is porting more cool games to PC

Did I forget anything important?

 

[CyberWhale]

Always wanted more Feudal Japan games, but they're overdoing it slightly. If someone made a proper open-world action RPG (Witcher 3, New Vegas or ELEX) I would give it a try tho.

 

[Jedi Exile]

The only game from E3 that sounds remotely interesting.

 

[Frusciante]

Ghost of Tsushima and Spiderman looked cool - that's more than Microsoft can say about their exclusives...

TLoU 2 looks boring (contrary to most I'm not offended by the lesbian shit). And I agree that this tiny girl beating all the big guys is weird to see in a realistic setting like this. In Horizon zero dawn it's fine because it's a much more fictional setting - but in this hyper realistic approach it kind of seems off.

Death stranding so far is a joke to me. It just looks like one big gigantic trolling attempt.

 

[Alienman]

I liked Last of Us, first one. I find the setting cool, great visuals, gruesome combat and it had a pretty good story about humanity when it is at its worst/best. This trailer though has me a bit worried. I knew she was lesbian, it was explained in a dlc, so no problem with that, but I got the impression that the story will involve some kind of gay-hating cult. Or at least the trailer was formed like that, and I have to say if that is gonna be the main story it will be weak as fuck. Post-apocalyptic Christian cult takes over nice little settlement, kills lesbian partner, goes out on revenge

God, I hope I'm wrong. Turning a nice post-apocalyptic setting like that into a big old virtue signal is just...

 

[ScrotumBroth]

So far, visually insane titles are Death Stranding and Beyond Good and Evil 2.

Ghost of Tsushima really intrigued me with gameplay and combat.

TLOU2 everything as expected, the thought of spending hours of sneaking around killing 4325 enemies AGAIN is a bit off putting.

Cyberpunk 2077 looks weird, but the jury is out until actual gameplay footage.

 

[cvv]

If what we've seen in parts of Death Stranding (where he's climbing the mountain for instance) is gameplay then the game looks utterly insane. Tsushima looks great but it's too stylized and cinematized to be truly breathtaking.

Anyone looking forward to an anti-game cinematic dogshit like TLOU 2 should go have a beer with Anthony Bourdain.

 

[Dexter]

The issue with The Rast of Us: China Number 1 (or wherever the fuck it takes place) is that it looked painfully generic, just another third person Sony exclusive 'action' game with a bunch of QTEs and overly long storyfag sequences. Death Stranding (maybe) and The Last of Us (definitely) were exactly like this.

 

[Dreed]

The only game from E3 that sounds remotely interesting.

It's the perfect game for Cassandra Khaw!

 

[Outlander]

Dexter thank you for the awesome TL;DRs

 

[Life of the Party]

anti-game cinematic dogshit

Pretty much what I expect from Death Stranding.

 

[vonAchdorf]

Wow, Sony did a shit show, I'm glad that I didn't watch it live.
No one cares about a "deeper look" into already announced games - especially when the deeper look is way too long and boring fake gameplay. And an intermission 10 minutes after the show started, who thought that was a good idea. Sony and EA really compete for worst show this year.

 

[cvv]

anti-game cinematic dogshit

Pretty much what I expect from Death Stranding.

I don't know much about other Kojima games but at least MSG always combined a lot of cinematics with genuinely soild gameplay. I'm not saying DS absolutely won't be a linear cinematic corridor turd like the thin shit Naughty Dog is spewing but based on Kojima previous work I certainly don't expect it.

 

[Markman]

Trials Rising bitches! Day 1 purchase ofcourse since Im a big Trials fag.

New AC looks lamer and more boring than Origins. Looks like an expansion but they still want 60 euros. Lel fuck off.

BG&E can also fuck off with its sjw theme.

I played closed beta of Crew2, its a snooze fest. Generic, lame presentation, genderless characters, no story, no championships, no police, no criminal element. It just pops up a pointless race on the map and drive with floaty vehicles. Funny they never asked themselves during the development why the fuck should ppl play this in the first place. Its a pointless game.

Also lol at Sony. Is there an engine with a random game generator and when you press F it shits out a third person cinematic experience? What the fuck man. Maybe the samurai one was a game for a bit, rest was just bleh.

 

[cvv]

Lol this.

I guess Sony Cinematic Game: The Horizon is the least offputting (and I'd probably play SCG: The God of War too if threatened with a gun) but all the other SCGs and their fans are retarded.

 

[Life of the Party]

Anyway, I mentioned Focus Home. No Werewolf: The Apocalypse, I'm afraid.

[vonAchdorf]

No Battlefleet Gothic 2?

 

[Alex]

Was anything that might be a decent cRPG announced?

 

[Life of the Party]

Hello,

Although Tindalos Interactive won't be at E3, we're working on content for the community (videos, articles, images...) showing more of the game and its new features and they should arrive later this month.

Have a nice day!

 

[toro]

Was anything that might be a decent cRPG announced?

no

 

[cvv]

Are those huge spectacle conferences the only way to announce a game tho? Aren't there like a shitton of small booths for indie games that couldn't afford their own conference slot? Where is the coverage for those?

 

[†††]

Was anything that might be a decent cRPG announced?

Assassins Creed

 

[Life of the Party]

The real E3 starts today, so we'll see if it brings us anything new.

E3 2018 takes place from June 12 to 14, 2018 in the Los Angeles Convention Center. In the days prior, major publishers will hold press conferences, typically as a live presentation in large theater with streaming broadcast, or through streaming pre-recorded segments, highlighting the new games that are planned for the next year. During the show proper, developers and publishers run exhibition booths to allow industry members, the press, retail representatives, and the public to try out the new games and talk with the creators. Several side events are also to be held in nearby venues, including video game tournaments.

[paintinggrey]

I know it's retarded to complain about free stuff but come on Sony, if you going to give an extra game in Plus you could gave us anything other than fucking COD.
