Such hate. It will only lead to darkness.
Being a Dark Lord of the Sith is way more cooler than a Jedi Knight:



Unless your SWTOR Jedi Knights:

You should know, you created us in your own image!
You've been reading those scripts again. They know little the extent of their own vanity.

Like, setting wise? Or a co-op FPS?

Cause Bioware+Shooter is just a train full of dumpster fires waiting to fly off the tracks.

Warhammer Total War II is all I care about from this year's E3.

Waiting for that High Elves trailer.
You have Aragorn as your avatar - of course you are. ;p

Bad Company had pretty decent SP.

Don't bring a knife to a lightsaber fight. Or a blaster either I guess.

Isn't Mass Effect arguably "BioWare+shooter" already?

Speaking of which, anyone who saw Anthem think the armour looks like Mass Effect armour a bit? Not how they get into it, but the overall aesthetic.

A lightsaber vs. a knife and a blaster? Hmm, I wonder which will obviously win?

Also chill with the anger. Remember "Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate. HATE....leads to suffering." Then again the Jedi Order was run by a bunch of morons and their code is incredibly flawed so......yeah, I don't know what the takeaway was with this argument.

That Prison Break game from the creators of "Brothers..." game looks interesting.

Was there anything else worthwhile on EA conference? What's that, next BioWare game? Cool. Anything else? No? OK.

Yeah, and it took them 4 games to sort of hit basic competency. Even then its still janky. First persons probably even tougher to master, cause theres a lot of subtle elements you have to cover to get a feel of actually moving, sound design to avoid random "invisible" enemies off your sides/back, etc. If they took Andromeda (or ME 2/3) and gave it a first person view, based on other elements you'd just be a frustrating pile of annoying chaotic non-feedback every fight.

Prey (2017) would be another example of this. I loved Dishonored, but Arkane does not have a good handle on the shooting side of things. It heavily exacerbates the kind of questionable enemy design in the game because the controls and feedback don't co-operate well with you trying to handle it.

The armor look like generic tech suit armor, really. Destiny hops to mind because the wall scene, the mask on the one armor looks like the main NPC leaders from that game, and they even use the same foghorn-type sound Bungie did in all their trailers. Similar looking armor pops up in everything from Iron Man to Saints Row to Ark though.

I was reminded of Destiny with the wall thing as well (and I'm hedging my bets that Anthem will be a 'shared world shooter' similar to Destiny as well), but if there's a similar setup, I don't think that Destiny is necessarily the first point of call. The idea of 'watchers at the wall' has plenty of historical (Hadrian's Wall, Great Wall, etc.) and fictional (too many to count) precedent. That said, I can't say the armour reminds me of Destiny. Destiny is science fantasy, and commits to that in everything ranging from story to aesthetics, and that includes its armour design, combing future armour with classical armour styles (Warhammer 40,000 is another example of sci-fa armour with the Space Marines). Anthem on the other hand seems like regular sci-fi.

My god, could that trailer for Anthem be any more generic and uninspired? Standard Inception-Bwaaa music, the most basic story hook imaginable, and bland space marine science armor.

And this comes from someone who was quite forgiving of Andromeda's flaws.

It's actually not DICE, its Motive Studios, who are pretty much brand new. But then even a toddler could out-write whoever wrote Battlefield 4's singleplayer... Jesus Christ that game. The author of SWBF17 is the guy who wrote Spec Ops The Line, so that's pretty good too.

To add on to that, Criterion Games is handling the vehicle sections of the game. They are famous for the Burnout and Need for Speed games. It seems DICE is handling solely the infantry gameplay and graphics. Three studios to make one game, that Disney money must be endless huh.

I don't even know what I'd be interested in or be looking forward to. As of right now, nothing that any of the companies going interests me. I might find something that intrigues me later on, but as of right now, I think I'm good on games that I'm playing. For once in my god damn life. Maybe if FromSoft debuts something, I'll take a look. But, as of right now, I think I'll just let this one pass under my radar.

Let's see...

Anthem
Oh fuck off Bioware.

Ace Combat 7
Hahaha, Japanese game dialogue is instantly recognizable. It's so distinctively bad.

Battlefront 2
Actually looks like a good time.

Battlefield 1: In the Name of the Tsar
I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE!

A Way Out.
Not for me, but does actually look interesting. Points for trying to push the envelope.
