i know it's the absolute worst excesses of the industry and full of cringeworthy shit and gameplay-free CGI trailers but I get so caught up in it and its Big Reveals and shared discovery of which exciting AAA sequels we're going to playing in three years

LOVE IT. LOVE E3 MATE

I think the best thing about E3 is the breaches of personal data. A middle finger to GDPR, I guess.

I like the fit women who interview nerds.


12 June – 15 June.

Hoping Nintendo finally unveil the follow up to the GameCube.

I fucking love it too. Eurovision but with video games.

Can't wait to play that Zelda they demoed on the Dolphin.

Doubly great this year as it's made Geoff Keighley look like a cunt.

Oh, just that last year everyone was saying that E3 was dead and Geoff Keighley's Summer Games Fest was the future, even though all Keighley did was attach his branding to a bunch of standalone presentations that would have happened anyway, even going so far as to promote events that weren't part of Summer Game Fest so it looked like they were. The guy is just a huckster made good.

Then, Summer Game Fest was an interminable, nothingy mess last year - just months of boring announcements and deeps dives - and now E3 is back and people realise how much they missed it.

THE NEW HALO

never even heard of Summer Games Fest.

best E3 ever for me was 2011, which I watched all of sitting on a futon in a tiny flat in Shinjuku while chatting to people in the dying days of MSN. Utterly shit selection of games/announcements but what a time to be alive! Argh, nostalgia attack! The past!

Nintendo Direct is 15/06 @ 5pm UK time. Should be roughly 40 mins long:

The rumour mill reckons we should get a separate announcement for the "Switch Pro" before the end of this week as well.

Xbox will be on 13/06 @ 6pm. Sony haven't announced anything yet.

Really loved it. Felt like a trashy mid-tier anime in the best way and using your devil dog as a roomba to collect stuff in the overworld was fun. Lots of niggles with badly implimented detective stuff and occasional combat jank, but overall great fun - lots of "this shouldn't work but it does" with the combat gimmicks. I'd put it on a tier with Vanquish and Wonderful 101.

Brilliant game. Probably in my top 5 Switch games.

Combat feels like cumming through your fingertips. Just a sequence of "Holy shits" as I fight monsters on collapsing, spinning neon rocks while my Legion ties them in knots, flips them into the sky and yanks me in to crack their skulls with a baton.

Exhilarating game.

Chedney Honks

Weird that I never clicked with Astral Chain. I didn't like almost anything apart from the music. It's exactly my kind of thing but nope.
