E3 2018 - Predictions, reactions and hype

[brat-sampson]

Command and conquer Rivals

Well there's your fuck you...

[Bhazor]

Well I'd say my predictions were too positive. Corporate drone wanked to a sports trophy not a sports player and there wasn't enough games announced for two battle royales and a new Disney MCU  game. The sum total of new games being a pair of mid tier indies and a nice big fuck you to the C&C fans. I'd say I was bang on the money for embarrasing trailer banter and nervous Bioware execs on stage.

Still the presentation was saved by the foreign lass referring to "bell ends".

[Mango Chimes]

Are Nintendo likely to announce anything big at this thing? I don't care about the rest of the boring shit.

[Kelvin]

I tuned in, and then almost immediately gave up, at the point the German woman was paralyzed with fear, laughing uncontrollably.

[Consignia]

There was literally a segment where two dudes played on their mobiles, as the main central focus. I wouldn't usually bother with anything EA, I just happened to have flick it on whilst, waiting for something else. To be fair, I wouldn't usually bother with any of them, except perhaps Nintendo.

[Bhazor]

Yeah EA remain the worst. I am interested to see how they'll fuck up Battlefield now they've removed loot crates. There's going to be some new layer of fuckery there.

Just found this useful chart for following the conferences

[St_Eddie]

Has this happened yet?  All I care about is the remakes of Final Fantasy VII and Resident Evil 2.  I refuse to grow out of the 90s.

[Bhazor]

I tuned in, and then almost immediately gave up, at the point the German woman was paralyzed with fear, laughing uncontrollably.

Still the best part of conference though. A new game, a Kraftwerk tshirt and bellends (some of which need to become bigger and some need to be smaller)

That EA conference was absolute top quality corporate dreck.

I thought the presenter was doing a decent job until she started just saying 'how cool was that?' and pretending to already be emotionally invested in Anthem. Then again, if I were 13, I'd think she was my ideal woman and I'm bored of this sentence. The whole thing was so predictably average. I don't care for C&C one bit but must be quite shit for the fans of the series for it to come back and I'm bored again. I don't care.

[Blue Jam]

I'm embarrassed by how much I want to stay up and watch the Bethesda press conference just for the much-hinted-at Prey DLC announcement.

[The Boston Crab]

Respect, BJ. I did it last year for whatever stupid crap was on and ended up absolutely knackered, too knackered to be excited and wrecked several days. I wouldn't have it any other way.

[Bhazor]

Any hopes for the Bethesda conference? I'm hoping for at least a teaser for a new Doom and that Kat Dennings runs on stage and a boob pops out.

Have no hopes for Xbox. Really don't give a single fuck about any of their existing franchises and Rare is clearly dead at this point. But there might be some PC stuff slipped in there like a proper flight sim and there's always a chance that Kat Dennings will be on stage with a boob out.

[mobias]

Microsoft are showing the Cyberpunk trailer at their Xbox conference, or so the rumour goes.

[The Lion King]

ff7 remake please

[Kelvin]

Rockstar Superman game, pls

[bgmnts]

Rockstar [insert franchise here] game please.

[Consignia]

Incremental change to GTA Online, plox.

[Kelvin]

Whoops. I meant Rocksteady Superman. Couldn't give a fuck about rockstar games.

[Consignia]

Too late. Look forward to Superman Online, with loads of microtransactions, and a removal of any single player experience. And it's all your fault. We could have had the definitive comic book game experience, but you've ruined it.

[Bhazor]

It's on.

It's Xbox. Its corporate whoring on full already.

Oh god. He's unbearable. Oh god.

[Kelvin]

Lilo and Stitch looking good.

[Bhazor]

FROM SOFTWARE!!!

Ninja Souls.

[bgmnts]

In the Life is Strange Universe hahahahaha

Fuck off Sqenix you bastards.

Metro is my only 'loyalty buy'.

[Blue Jam]

Lilo and Stitch looking good.

:'D

Coming to Games With Gold before too long...

Fuck off Sqenix you bastards.

They've killed off Deus Ex so I'm out.

[Kelvin]

Lot of shouting twats in these trailers.

[Bhazor]

Oh god he's talking again.

It was all going so well.

[Bhazor]

This Kingdom Hearts trailer is fucking wierd. It's like that mummy leak where they didn't have the special effects dubbed in yet.

Oh and its Final Fantasy writing. Get fucked.

[bgmnts]

Oh my god Mickey Mouse's voice during that trailer created such a dissonance.

[colacentral]

Kingdom Hearts is fucking terrible. Anime and Disney together are like chalk and cheese. I truly don't understand the appeal. I got a few hours into the first one before giving up because the gameplay itself was shocking too.

[Kelvin]

This Kingdom Hearts trailer is fucking wierd. It's like that mummy leak where they didn't have the special effects dubbed in yet.

Oh and its Final Fantasy writing. Get fucked.

Yeah, it was like a raw edit. Very odd.
