E3 2017

At least Bethesda is releasing at least two titles to release in October 2017 with the Evil within 2 and the new Wolfenstein Colossus . Most of these other major titles are pushed to 2018.

Sony and Ubisoft are next. Looking forward to their potentials.

What a yawnfest so far. Where are the surprises? Hoping at least Sony will drop some bombs...

Well, Sony *probably* won't have anything - or really needs to. Maybe a drop in price on PSVR? More VR stuff (which I do love).

So far, mostly all game sequels, sequel to the XBox One S, EA sequels, blah blah blah...

Nintendo will just be following up on their Switch release (games, addition of apps, core unit package?).

Seems like, in recent months, the Nintendo Switch reveal was the coolest announcement...

🙂

I'm happy to see Wolfenstein coming back, but I agree not much so far.

I really enjoyed the New Order. Every chapter got progressively better and better. And the campaign was the perfect length. Wolfenstein 2 looks to focus on More of the main characters story and his resistance. If this new Wolfenstein plays anything like the original with how smooth it was, this second version should be right up there. (And it takes place in different demographics like New Mexico, Louisiana and New York City), which changes the scenery.
 
Watching Sony now.

Days Gone looks infinitely better than State of Decay 2.

Microsoft really doesn't have the quality of games as Sony. Their games are so impressive.

Can't believe how amazing Days Gone is with its new gameplay video. Between that, God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, The Last of Us 2 Sony is REALLY killing it.

They also already have VR for those interested. Seems Microsoft won't release VR for Xbox One for quite a while.
 
Did anyone else sleep through Sony's presentation?

Just a bunch of game trailers...

The only game I'm interested in is Destiny 2 (and that's multiplatform).

Same with MS - apart from the new console, the 2 games I'm interested in at their presentation are multiplatform as well...

I think Nintendo will be the one to beat this year...
 
Yeah, very boring in the end.

Coolest thing for me was Days Gone, followed by Spider-Man.

But God of War won't come in 2017 and only says "2018" and not "early 2018", so I believe it's still far away. Disappointed.

When is Nintendo's press conference?

Shadow of the Colossus remake for PS4!!!!!!

And just with that, Sony won E3 for me. They could release an improved version of this game on every console generation in the future, and I will buy and I will play the hell out of every single one of them!! 😀

Did you see the Starlink trailer? Looks like No Mans Sky with an actual Storyline and actual ship customization. It's not out to Fall 2018, but I guarantee Hello Games saw this and they should have the mindset of continuing to bring promising updates to build on the current platform.

By the way, I heard No Mans Sky has another update on the Horizon, supposedly might incorporate some form of portal traveling to other solar systems.
 
Spiderman looks good!

Far Cry 5 has potential, too. I just hope it's not yet another tower climber and outpost liberator with a new skin...
 
I have to say that this has, for me, been Ubisoft's E3, as painful as it is to say it. I'm looking forward to a new Assassin's Creed and Farcry of course but what I'm most excited for is Beyond Good & Evil 2. The original was my second favourite third-party Gamecube game and easily in my top ten overall, so I'm thrilled that it was announced; I only hope that it doesn't take five years to release. Bethesda's announcement of The New Colossus was very welcome as I love both The New Order and The Old Blood.

I'm interested in the XB1X, perhaps a bit later in cycle, to play a backlog of exclusives and to have a UHD player in my office. I was very fond of Ori and the Blind Forest, so a sequel is a pleasant idea. Anthem, I'm conflicted about, in that the game is obviously what Mass Effect: Andromeda ought to have been.

Oddly, nothing I've heard regarding the Switch, or any of the rumours prior to today's presentation, make me at all interested in picking one up. I wasn't particularly impressed with Splatoon and Kingdom Battle is atrocious to me, as I despise rabbids. Moreover, if I want to play X-Com, I'll play X-Com.

Sony's presentation was a mixed bag. I'm not remotely interested in God of War; that's my brother's pet series but I never cared for it. Very interested to see the Shadow of the Colossus remake. Days Gone looks good for a survival horror game but I'm so bloody tired of zombies. The game I'm most interested in for the PS4 is Detroit Become Human. If they can actually manage the branching story in a fulfilling manner and have it not be contrived, I really think the game could be a GOTY contender.

Yes, Starlink is like Skylanders but with model spaceships - gonna drain my pocketbook... 😱

Nice to see devs making it for the Switch as well as the big two...

Just saw the Nintendo E3 Presentation

Nintendo *FOR THE WIN*

Nintendo has their game back - literally - and I'm soooooo happy I picked up a Switch...

Metroid Prime 4
Yoshi game
Rocket League (gonna trade in my Xbox one copy)

Plus other Nintendo Switch only games - most due by the end of the year.

I was disappointed with Sony - the *distant third*

The only game I am interested in is Destiny 2, and will get the Xbox One copy anyways.

I love my PSVR with the Space Sims, but all that Sony came up with is some mouse with a sword and some fishing game... 🙄

Microsoft had Xbox One X going for it, but most the games will be multi-platform (with PS4 Pro patches I assume) and I can play the games I want on just an Xbox One anyways. The $500 price tag doesn't really help...

Can't wait for more Switch gaming!!!
 
Will people really notice a difference between PS4 Pro 4k and Xbox x native 4k?

We really are at the point of diminishing returns. I have an Xbox one now and I dont even play the exclusives anymore.

Its all multi platform (BF1, Rocket league etc). I grew tired of Halo and Gears and Forza.

Im fine with myXxbox one for now, but I dont see the appeal for the average Joe for the Xbox One x when the PS4 pro is very good and priced less.

If you have a XBO, you might as well get a PS4 of some kind, and if you got a PS4, you might as well get an XBO.... just so you can have access to both libraries of exclusives. IMHO

I'm reasonably happy with Nintendo's showing.... Yoshi, Metroid Prime4, Rocket League.

The best 'new' thing I saw was that 'Last Night' game.

Cheers

The Gamestop I was just at, this guy was talking to the salesperson about the new consoles (PS4 Pro, and Xbox One X). The salesperson didn't seem to really know (or care) and the person said that PlayStation graphics are better than Xbox's anyways... 😱

That's what MS is up against.

(btw, only that Sony gold system is on sale right now - the Sony PS4 1TB black remains at retail $299, and probably will now for a while...)

Yeah quite pleasant surprised by Nintendo's showing. Very very excited for the new Metroid, especially the 3DS version. I prefer side scroll Metroid titles, still have all the 16 bit versions in cartridges and Prime Trilogy 😀

All it's missing is a new Donkey Kong for the Switch. I was betting that Mario Odyssey won't make it this year, so quite surprised that it's actually coming in October. They just have to make enough Switches to stock the shelves this holiday season and it should be a great year for Nintendo.
 
My thoughts on E3 concluding:

I actually thought it was fairly good. The Xbox one X is the main star of the show. I think it offers plenty of power and there will be plenty of future titles to take advantage of that power. That said, most of these major titles are not releasing until 2018. There are a few promising titles for 2017.

I don't necessarily think it will be a directive advantage to be an early adopter for the new Xbox. However, I will be a Day one purchaser for me, as I own the PS4 Pro and I want to have the best of both worlds with these consoles and the differences they can offer with titles/performance.

I thought The Best reveal trailer was Metro Exodus. The level of detail was off the charts for this game.

Spider-Man and Days Gone looked very good.

I Think 2018 will be the year that a lot a major titles are releasing for the biggest developers that will take advantage of the new Xbox One X.

Yes, just found out about the Metroid 3DS game...

I'm a BIG Metroid fan/collector.

I'm going to pre-order the Amiibo's from Amazon and hope the cards come in half decent shape.

The eBay scalpers get in line at the stores for anything Metroid around here and are usually sold out by the time I get there...

Oh yeah the new Samus and Metroid Amiibos look great. I preorder most of my Amiibos from Best Buy. Thankfully all arrived in great condition.

I've been wanting this for a while now. I think it was around $50 at one point. Missed that boat.

I just hope the shifting perspective on that 3DS Metroid game is not going to get too distracting. 3 months to go, can't wait!

Yeah, that Metroid figure, around $90 (as far as I can remember) is how much it costs and looks like some Japanese dealers still have some left.

Too rich for my blood - would rather spend the money on actual videogame stuff than special edition figures $100+...
