So pretty much every major publisher except Sony has signed up for this now, seems like its gonna be a full on e3. Sony will also no doubt put on their own show around the same time.

Time to start the speculation and hype I think!

Starfield should be shown

Rumour time!

Extremely reliable Era insiders says Square have another new FF game to announce this E3 and it is a PS5 exclusive.

Original source (Navtra) says they know its coming, it's an RPG and judging by expected release date they think announcement next month but don't know any inside info on that.

They said it's not a new mainline, not FF7R related, not a warriors or tactics game. It's being done by an external studio.

A semi-reliable leaker on Reddit has said it's a game being made by Team Ninja (Nioh guys) and there was already some whispering as Era insiders denied some genres but not Soulslike.

Rumor: Square Enix Set to Announce a New Action-RPG Final Fantasy Spinoff (https://www.fanbyte.com/news/rumor-square-enix-set-to-announce-a-new-action-rpg-final-fantasy-spinoff/)

Quote
The game, which appears to be exclusive to PlayStation 5 with a PC release further down the road, will be one of Square Enix's tentpoles at their upcoming E3 show. For whatever reason, several large chunks of the undated June show have leaked out, including the Final Fantasy Origin's logo and demo plans.

Yeah its a souls-like but it has 4 difficulty settings, so its often considered the most accessible souls-like game (for some other reasons too). There's a native next-gen version with free-upgrade soon to release for it, perfect time to play it.

I love it, its my GOTY 2019. I'm considering playing it again with the next-gen patch actually.

Seems to be a list of a lot of the games that will be shown at Ubi and xbox shows & perhaps other shows too. (This person is apparently extremely reliable, 100% track record).

They were asked in the comments about Nintendo Direct and said they might have a list later.

Will click after the shows. Don't trust groupthink with records but I'd assume it's legit. So many randos need to be in the loop in the last few days before a show.


I hope beyond good and evil 2 isn't stuck in dev hell. Ready for a showing of what the final game plays like.

I hope bethesda goes deep with starfield and talks about elder scrolls 6 again. It has been 3 years for each.

For sure, it might still have been even with Avatar. Its certainly low tier.

We'll see, I fully believe Xbox and Nintendo will be their usual selves this year. Doesn't mean they can't have a down year, that possibility is always there, but it won't be unusually bad at least.

My metric for how bad this year has been: I have yet to watch any easy allies reactions.

Elden Ring looked great but wasn't shocking (my fault maybe for watching the leak).

The indie shows had great games but I mostly just want to play them.

Rabbids Mario looks cool but with Nintendo posting it early it just felt safe. Biggest change was removing the grid yet they didn't go into details.

I'll probably watch them react to Avatar.

I think the pandemic really cleaned this year out. Every game will either be near release just waiting to show off or a cgi trailer. Nintendo hopefully has a lot of the former and Xbox is happy with a lot of the later.

Microsoft announced games that were really far off last year like Avowed, Fable, State of Decay 3, Everwild? that all seem to be late 2022+.  


This conference wasn't terribly different, but it seemed like it focused more on the next ~18 months than last years show.

Grubb has just said Everwild was rebooted after the creative director left, now aiming 2023-2024.

Obsidian just announced The Outer Worlds 2 and are still working on Grounded, so Avowed seems way off. Forza Horizon 5 was just announced, so clearly Playground still have most of their efforts going there.

These games they announced last year were 2 or maybe even 3 years too early. The ones this year could be as well.

Every single one of the publisher's showcases outside of xbox and devolver has been so, so bad. Why do they even bother. There being only 3-4 bigger shows was definitely the best e3 format.

The indie shows like day of the devs, wholesome direct etc. were all good though.

I really don't understand why Capcom thought they needed a "show".  

No one is going to be upset if they didn't. People are going to be a lot more upset expecting a show and getting...  that.

It makes no sense. Everyone wants to jump on the bandwagon for some reason.

These games they announced last year were 2 or maybe even 3 years too early. The ones this year could be as well.
But they didn't really announce that much. A huge chunk of the show was updates to older games, and third party stuff that was expected this year.
I think the actual announcements were Forza, Redfall, The Outer Worlds 2. And only one of them is seemingly announced way ahead of schedule.

Last year's conference had like 5 games announced or present that aren't likely to be released until after pretty much everything at this conference with the exception of The Outer Worlds 2.

So in the end we had Nintendo and Xbox both with good but not amazing shows. Devolver was amazing but its kind of a comedy show more than a game show. Ubi was okay at best, rest were bad.

I feel like if there was a Sony show at the level of Nintendo and Xbox's it'd have been a decent e3, not the worst but not the best. Without Sony though and that being it its probably the worst e3 I've experienced (since I started properly watching in 2013).

Ubi:
Rainbow 6 Extraction looked better than I expected, but still just ok.
Mario+Rabbids was nice.
Avatar was amazing.

Xbox:
Starfield was short but left me excited.
Forza Horizon 5 looks great.
The Outer Wilds 2 had a great trailer.
Stalker 2 looked interesting.
Atomic Heart looked interesting.
Contraband looked interesting.
Plague Tale 2 is great.
Redfall was extremely disappointing.

Nintendo:
Metroid Dredd looks great.
BOTW2 was extremely exciting but has left me feeling nervous.



Xbox had the best show imo. They felt like a non pandemic year which is disappointing because of the Xbox+Bethesda potential, but a solid 6 or 7 out of 10.

Ubisoft had the best reveal with Avatar imo. I'm biased but when comparing it to Starfield, The Outer Worlds 2, and BOTW2, it actually showed a lot. Don't think it makes up for the rest of the show. Solid 5 or 6 out of 10.

Nintendo had what will end up being the best game, but I don't think it was a good showing. Solid 5 or 6 out of 10.



TLDR: yeah very bad year but I'm glad the companies still put these shows together.

That was a joke about the Game and Watch hardware being released.

I was thinking dude how on earth was Avatar the best reveal for you, it was just an okay teaser trailer. But then I was thinking, well what was a better reveal? So yeah, maybe.

Forza Horizon 5 was far and away the best reveal for me, but if you're not into racing games and super into Avatar maybe Avatar was the best. Here's how I'd rank the new game reveals that I can remember:

Forza Horizon 5
Avatar
Guardians of the Galaxy
Metroid Dread
Advance Wars 1+2 Remake
Mario + Rabbids 2
Redfall
The Outer Worlds 2
Warioware
Tiny Tina's Wonderlands
Jurassic World Evolution 2
CHAOS

Oh, oh man. What a bad e3.

Elden Ring had the best trailer. Forza Horizon 5 game of the show. Only really those two games that got me super excited (plus BOTW2, but that was more because I'm incredibly hyped for it anyway rather than on merit on what was shown).

The best thing about Avatar is its immersive world building. The game's teaser is so great imo because it is nailing that world. Showing gameplay or the plot would have probably made it look worse haha.

I don't care too much about Forza horizon trailers because the games are such a known quantity. They're incredible, but not that interesting to think about pre-release.

The FH5 reveal showed of the insane visuals and the new setting really well, also went over some cool new features.

On the brightside, maybe this E3 sucks and next E3 will kick our socks off.

I think this will just be the off year. Covid took out tons of productivity and we felt most of that this week.

Next E3 will at least be in person. (if it happens at all)
