E3 2017 thread

[The Rogue Wolf]

Guys, guys, guys. There's one thing we need to keep in mind: E3 is a carnival of lies. 70% of this stuff you're getting hyped up for will be vaporware, and 25% will see "graphical downgrades" or removed gameplay mechanics.

I haven't played RE4 in quite a few years, but what I remember was it being much clunkier than TEW, even though it was certainly better than RE1-3.

Without even playing it's clear TEW has more fluid animations, more character weight, and smoother controls. Was RE4 more polished for its time? Possibly, but that generation was also quite a bit simpler.

I don't think we're going to agree on this, friend.

The bad guys in Far Cry 5 are part of a sinister, homicidal cult.

Why on earth do you consider that the counterpart to "a leftist group"?

Must EVERYTHING be politicized? Holy fuckballs.

It was politicised the moment somebody started fantasying their enjoyment of killing "Red necks" and not "A sinister homicidal cult".

If you wanna be happy about killing crazed cultists, sure, go ahead. If you wanna be happy about killing poor white people from southern states of America, that's getting pretty political.

Dangit! I should've known by your first badge.

So I just want to say to all those who may have actually gotten hyped about BGAE2...

They said it's been 15 years since the first one.
Remember the LAST time there was a 15 year gap between games?

And how THAT turned out?

Difference is all we saw of Beyond Good and Evil 2 the last time was a cinematic, no gameplay trailer in 2008:


We saw how Duke Nukem Forever was being developed on, including gameplay footage, over the years.

We don't talk about Duke Nukem Forever.

Who cares what someone is killing in a video game, as long as they're well written/realized antagonists? Film and literature have brought us everything from crazed housewives to urbane terrorists to demonic children as enemies, why should games be any different? Are "rednecks" an oppressed group that we need to be culturally sensitive to?

It's not like Ubisoft is killing ACTUAL poor white people in Montana. It's a fucking video game.

Funny, when Hatred tried to do the same thing, people kept trying to get it banned.

So like did Sony have their conference yet or what? I thought it was supposed to be at 2am where I live and now it's almost 9.

Yeah. Easily ruffled, pearl clutching sensitives doing the exact same thing you appear to be unironically doing right now.

Hatred also had the double whammy of looking like a complete piece of controversy baiting trash, so everyone was lining up to take runs at it.

 

[Godzillarich(aka tf2godz)]

What is up with the surprising amount of bears we have been seeing this conference?

What about Hatred had a "well written/realized antagonist?"

Also, Hatred's plot had you playing as a psychopath killing innocent people. Far Cry tends to have you playing as psychopaths as well, but still killing other psychopaths. It's not a 1:1 comparison.

i miss Jack Tretton.

Shawn Laydon is such a dork.

 

[Tanakh]

Wow... Sony!

 

[Casual Shinji]

So... Shadow of the Colossus remake is a thing. Don't know how to feel about that. It looks nice and fancy, but it's not done by Team Ico. I like Blue Point, they do a great job at remasters, but a remake..?

 

[Godzillarich(aka tf2godz)]

Well That was anti-climactic, It wasn't bad it just seemmed kind of abrupt, I expected one more game at least.

The lineup for me right now is Bethesda<EA<Ubsoft<Sony<Microsoft. I guess we'll see what Nintendo does

 

[kilenem]

Besides Spider man seeming a little bit murderous and Shadow Colossus getting another update, Sony's games line up seems pretty Bitchen. They probably won E3, because Nintendo hasn't tried to hard at E3's since the announcement of the 3ds. Maybe Nintendo will bring it tomorrow but I think Sony has the best press conference of the hardware manufactures.
