Solid if unsurprising conference from EA, as expected. Tomorrow (Xbox and Bethesda) should be far more exciting for those of us craving those big dumb reveals and MEGATONS

Lol. Man they always had that in their designs. Unless they been teasing their space game since the start of the gen!I think this specific design started last year at Paris Games Week.
Hot dang! Ya'll been bamboozled!

Apparently there were 7 world premieres last year. So more than double. Counts as a new game announcement. Maybe they expanded it this year to include first proper showings of games, so AC Odyssey, Cyberpunk and Shadows Die Twice might count.We will see cyberpunk in 6 hours. Get hype!!!

Xbox will have a lot of third party content on stage - and some surprising partners. There will be a few meaningful first party announcements too. Should be a strong showing for the industry.

I'm going to miss the MS show. I'll watch it later tonight, I hope. But I got tomorrow off. Gonna be a packed day.If you can only get one day off, Monday is definitely the best day.
oh shame I forgot Bethesda's is in like 3 and a half hours.Shoot.
oh shame I forgot Bethesda's is in like 3 and a half hours.Yeah, I've got an exam in 11 hours so its no for me.
:o they stole DMC5 confirmedNow timed exclusives are good again!
Now timed exclusives are good again!Don't think it has any exclusivity.
Don't think it has any exclusivity.Oh thought someone said it was timed
Oh thought someone said it was timedThey were misinformed.
Oh thought someone said it was timedYou saw only lies
i'm watching westworld so I'll be late to bethesda.Westworld can wait!
Westworld can wait!Nah never!
Time to get some sleep. And prepare for the next show!!I'm now having to watch the Easy Allies stream!
So far I'm thinkingI hear it's the best one!
EA: 2/10
MS: 7.5/10
Devolver: 8/10
Squeenix: 3/10
Probably not going to bother watching Bethesda
Who wants ubisoft? They're one of the best but I have to miss them.I might take Ubi and leave Sony to someone else
EA: 2.5Limited Run: 4.5
MS: 8
Devolver: 7
Squeenix: 4
Bethesda: 8.75
Up to Sony to save e3 as usual. Their backs must be very sore.e3 this year doesn't need saving, its been good. And last year they didn't save it :P
What a save!
What a save!
What a save!
Up to Sony to save e3 as usual. Their backs must be very sore.I mean MS and Bethesda had strong shows along with Ubisoft being decent
What a save!
What a save!
What a save!
E3 this year is being really a boring announcements to be announced with no real surprise game to be release soon.Let's wait for Sony!
It is even sad the games announced today are expect to hit in next-gen.
Seems like publishers have little to show so they needed to show early these prototype of games years to release.
Sadly I won't get to see Sony save e3. Have to go bed. Will watch the highlights tomorrow!Same but I'll probably watch the whole conference
Limited Run: 4.5I'm gonna say PC: 5.5
Kind of fun similar to Devolver, but I didn't think it was as fun. Some interesting looking games getting ported over.
Ubi: 6
Feels about right.
So who's doing the Sony conference?Seems like all of us will be asleep. Stupid Sony
I'll make it in a few minutes if no one else does.I will be here!
Seems like all of us will be asleep. Stupid Sonynah only 9pm here!
nah only 9pm here!Merica represent!
nah only 9pm here!Surely you mean 8pm?
Surely you mean 8pm?it's 8:30 now, but 9 when its starts.
it's 8:30 now, but 9 when its starts.Well okay future man.
That is why I didn't put hopes on Sony...Same, Sony was exactly what I expected. If I got too hyped up I would have been disappointed like last year, but I felt quite good at the end. Still amazed at TLOU2 honestly.
Ohhhhhh that E3 with no games... sad.
Same, Sony was exactly what I expected. If I got too hyped up I would have been disappointed like last year, but I felt quite good at the end. Still amazed at TLOU2 honestly.Yeap the gameplay parts were the best but hey these games are games already announced that I know how it will plays.
I watched Ghost again and I liked it a lot more second time, seems very AC which I love, with the stealth attacks and stuff. Also the graphics look a lot better in the video too, must have been the stream.
Yeap the gameplay parts were the best but hey these games are games already announced that I know how it will plays.Yeah most announcements have been safe sequels. I think its because announcements are spreading out more and more nowadays though.
This E3 lack of new concrete games/announces is really sad... the most great announces are just concepts of games that will start development yet :(
Cyberpunk 2077 is going to be first person... looks like that's it for me for that game.Why would they do that? Yuck
Cyberpunk 2077 is going to be first person... looks like that's it for me for that game.So like TES, Fallout, Deus Ex and lots of other great games? Seems the right choice imo for something like this
Why would they do that? Yuck"He then went on to explain more of the philosophy of how you present perspective in games, saying, "Third-person works well in games like the Witcher when you have a lot of motion and movement around you. But when all the things happen to you, from you, within you, first person point of view is the right decision to take, especially because of the augmentations.""
On the other hand, maybe they'll usher in an age of good non fps first person games.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice has no classes from which to choose, no character stats to level up, no option to create your own character, no multiplayer of any kind, no armour or weapons to find or equip, and no souls (or equivalent) to collect - or lose after dying. Just to reconfirm: Sekiro is the next big game by FromSoftware, the maker of Dark Souls and Bloodborne.Interesting, sounds more like a Naughty Dog style of game then
Indeed, Sekiro can scarcely be called an action-RPG. FromSoftware's Yasuhiro Kitao rather describes it as an action adventure game. One of the few elements that might seem familiar is your character's prosthetic limb - it's capable of hosting a number of gadgets, which you can find scattered around the world. That sounds pretty reminiscent of the trick weapons found in Bloodborne, if you had a temporary flirtation with a PlayStation 4 to enjoy that.
Hard to the core - Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is a hard-core game worthy of the name From Software. Miyazaki designed Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice this way! Fans of From Software will find the gameplay challenging, yet fun and rewarding. The quality of combat, level of challenge, and creative enemies and bosses are something that can only be found in a From Software title.
dang, Sekiro sounds like it could be insanely difficult. Still hardcore, but now its all skill... no levelling up or stat increases or anything.i like this. more games should go this route.
Sekrio newsHonestly sounds more like a Doom style game. Where you can find hidden upgrades and weapons. Sounds interesting, I didn't like the art style much, buy the gameplay sure as hell looked great. It's definitely on my radar but not a day one purchase
Interesting, sounds more like a Naughty Dog style of game then
i like this. more games should go this route.It's one of the biggest unsolved problems in video games imo.
my only thing i don't like about GoW is because i want to do all the side quests i'm constantly over leveled making the game too easy.
It's one of the biggest unsolved problems in video games imo.it really isn't that hard of a problem.
The reward for playing is increased power, but 99% of the time this is functionally equivalent to just lowering the difficulty. Zelda Botw took this bad game design to the next level!Spoiler for summary of botw end fight structure:
it really isn't that hard of a problem.Left 4 dead did something like that with AI. Also I'm pretty sure there was another game I've read about that worked that way.
the player only need to feel more powerful. that can be achieved by rewarding the player with gameplay mechanics not power levels. attack power/defence/health bars are archaic game design form an era where computers were limited in how difficulty could be managed.
modern data science has solution to solve this. i work with lstm in my work and i can see how easily it could be applied to game ai that learns player behaviours and adjusts difficulty through intelligence not power. the cool part with this approach is you could monitor how long it has been since the player had a deadly encounter and ramp difficulty up when they have been winning and down when they are dyiung.
game devs don't seem to interested in innovating ai though. its all about graphics.
So like TES, Fallout, Deus Ex and lots of other great games? Seems the right choice imo for something like thisAnd I hope people enjoy the game for it but I simply don't like first person games.
And I hope people enjoy the game for it but I simply don't like first person games.For shame
Left 4 dead did something like that with AI. Also I'm pretty sure there was another game I've read about that worked that way.it's not gibberish but we're not talking to quite the same point either.
It's cool but it's too "fake" for me. Same with just making the player feel powerful. I'm specifically talking about it from a game theory perspective where the player has full knowledge of the situation and is thinking rationally.
Bars are the best! You seem to like games as an "experience" for lack of a better word. It's about casually enjoying your time. I mostly ignore stats and optimizing in games, but I still tend to prefer games structured with clear cause and effect. As the player I can decide to play it casually but I know the game isn't cheating me. Like how Naughty Dog is moving towards having more systems and dynamics visible to their players. I wouldn't want Uncharted to have a health bar but I love having one in TLOU. TLOU2 is taking this further with a stealth gauge. The HUD doesn't just show if you're hidden; it shows how well you're hidden.
*I'm tired and rambling. Sorry in advance if this is gibberish
HOLY shame. This sounds incredible.Assassins Creed and incredible will never fit the same place for me :(
Assassins Creed and incredible will never fit the same place for me :(GTFO
Boring.
GTFOI can't stand this boring gameplay.
I can't stand this boring gameplay.Each to their own I guess. I find AC to be nowhere near boring.
AC is not for me... I even forced me to Platinum's two games after give up on AC1 and AC2 just to make sure I was not wrong about it.
AC origins changed some things.I wish ubi would just make a new RPG. They clearly want to add some fantasy elements, so why not just make a full new fantasy RPG? That would be great.
This however sounds like a fully new game that's playing dress up as AC. I love all those details you posted.
AC origins changed some things.Yeah it sounds like a great game with great changes, but its not an Assassin's Creed game anymore. They should be making traditional assassin's creed games as well as this. This should just be a different RPG series.
This however sounds like a fully new game that's playing dress up as AC. I love all those details you posted.
Especially watch this interview on Mixer is longer and more gameplay. Looks really good. Love the world with the big beasts in the sky. Awesome enemies to. Game looks really good. Is done really and is coming in 2018. Just no date yet.
Starts at 6:25:09
