Microsoft's conference seemed pretty good. Ashen, The Artful Escape, The Last Night, Deep Rock Galactic and the new Ori game have my interest. It seems like Cuphead, Sea of Thieves and Crackdown 3 are coming along nicely as well. I don't have much to say about the Xbox One X, seeing as how I don't intend to purchase it.

Bethesda's conference was just...sad. The two biggest announcements were a decent-looking new Wolfenstein (which simultaneously triggered the Alt-Right and B-Cell) and The Evil Within 2 (bleh). Oh, I can dress my Skyrim avatar as Link now. Great. Totally worth the $70. All in all, the conference definitely wasn't "fucking bananas".

State of Decay 2 looked boring.

Can we have a Zombie game that has other monsters than just Zombies, it pisses me off when people write off the older Resident Evil games as just zombie games completely ignoring other mosters like the Hunters, Lickers, Tyrants, Giant and Zombifyed Animals, etc.

Has there been any AAA NEW IPs announced so far or are we seeing nothing but sequels, spin-offs, DLCs, and reboots from big companies?
Bioware's new IP Anthem

and some new games I can't remember the name of (fortnight? and The last night?) there were some sprinkled in there
I dunno if I'd call Fortnite AAA. Epic certainly has the resources for AAA, but seems to have mostly dropped down to smaller style projects since the days of Gears and mainstream Unreal (There is new Unreal Tournament, but its not nearly as marketed).

I really think Anthem was probably Mass Effect : Online, and ate a hasty name change after Andromeda half-flopped.

Hipsters everywhere!

Everything makes sense now!
You do know you're being a hipster yourself by going against that "90%" with this comment, right?

Actually it's worse. Anthem is what the main Bioware team was working on and why they shuttled mass effect off to a new team.

Anthem wasn't mass effect, but they did sacrifice mass effect to make it.

Which makes it all the more painful seeing that it's an even more bland destiny clone
honestly i think you might be onto something there.. sad to see thats where the team went.

i would of loved to of been in that meeting "as our premier RPG team we have a special surprise for you guys, you will be working not on the new mass effect game but instead on a destiny clone.. i know.. i know.. from the silence i can tell you are speechless in excitement"

Wolfenstein II?

Isnt it like, the third or fourth? Cause though its not obvious, one of the older ones the 2009 one I think, is canon to The New Order. Thats where that woman in a wheelchair came from anyways.

All the Wolfenstein series is congruent (at least according to this retrospective).

Life Is Strange 2: Origin of Chloe

cause that's what we really needed
Needed? Probably not, no. Chloe and Rachel's story was told efficiently enough in LiS, without needing to go into extra detail.

Wanted though? Oh hell yeah. Chloe's character has a massive fan-base (among fans of the game itself of course), and there is certainly room to explore everything that happened with Rachel since we really don't know a whole lot about her. Then there are people like me, who are just ecstatic about the idea of jumping back into the world of LiS in general. I'm already psyched for it!

I can't tell if this is a joke or not. Are you being Ironic? Are you being a hipster and just deflecting by calling others hipsters?

Good lord. These people know we've been shooting Nazis in Wolfenstein since before Doom existed, right? Why get all offended these days?

If I'm honest, over the first three shows (EA, Xbox, Bethesda), I am complete underwhelmed.

I mean Bioware's new IP might be cool, but I haven't seen enough of it to get all that hyped about. The new Madden might be interesting to play with the story mode, as I do like the story-modes in the past few NBA games. Otherwise EA bores me.

The new Xbox looks fucking worthless and expensive for nothing. It isn't going to be powerful enough to compete with PC and it isn't a big enough upgrade over the Xbone to warrant spending 500 bucks for. Hell at least playstation understood that people aren't going to pay big bucks for a slight upgrade, and I feel like the Pro is at least a better value for a similar experience. Then again, I don't have a 4K TV, so maybe I just don't understand true gaming yet. Then they came out with 42 games, which to me feels like they saw how Sony beat them up last year by having a ton of amazing games, and MS just responds this year with quantity over quality. Sure a few of those seem like stand out titles, but only two or three and none of them interest me enough to want to buy a new Sex box XXX.

Bethesda, good lord, okay so...At least they announced a new Wolfenstien, considering the NEw Order was awesome, I have high hopes for this one. Everything else, is a bag of dicks. A big ol' bag of dicks. People didn't like the paid mod idea on Steam, I don't see how they'll like it now. Skyrim on Switch, we new about it already, do people still care? I'm frankly sick of seeing Skyrim everywhere. Skyrim and Minecraft need to go away now. The Evil Within wasn't a good game, and the sequel means less than nothing to me. I dunno, i really just don't enjoy most of Bethesda's games, so I have a hard time giving a shit.

Hopefully Sony comes out with a better show.

Crackdown 3 - Guys, this is just a hunch, but I think they hired Terry Crews. I can't be sure though, they're being real subtle about it. But where did the destruction physics go? Wasn't that the game's big selling point?

Dishonored: Death of the Outsider - Oh hey it's her! And him! Wait... did he just call her... oh. Oh. Ohhhhhhhh. Right. (I haven't finished Dishonored 2 yet, so this probably wasn't a surprise to other people. Neat trailer by the way.)

Ori and the Will of the Wisps - Fucking gorgeous trailer. No joke. Lovely music too. Probably not for me though. The first one completely failed to grab me. Bit of a shame cause it seemed like a nice game. Oh, and it's Windows 10 only. Fuck you very much Microsoft.

Life is Strange: Before the Storm - Uh... really? I have a soft spot for LiS, but this seems ill advised on multiple levels.

Code Vein - My God. It's as if every single thing in this trailer, literally every single thing, was specifically designed to look utterly fucking hideous. It's like looking into the aesthetic equivalent of a black hole.

Wolfenstein The New Colossus - Colour me mildly intrigued. I hope I like it more than the first one.

Shadow of War - Looks like decent fun. Also looks completely at odds with the LotR brand. Would have been better as a Warhammer game.

The Last Night and Ashen look interesting, but not enough to go on. Hopefully they're available on sensible platforms for sensible people at some point.

Who knows, maybe Shinji Mikami finally remembered he's the guy who brought us Resident Evil 4, and this sequel will actually be good instead of the pool of rancid piss that was The Evil Within 1. One can hope.

Fair enough.

For the most part I feel like games have forgotten what makes a horror game good. However, Resident Evil 7 was really really good. So Evil Within 2 COULD work, but they aren't exactly coming from a good original game, so I don't have that same hope.
