[BananaKing]

Im still holding out hope that the rumors surrounding RDR2 not being shown because of the shooting are true,  and we get it as a surprise this week

yeah i would love that. because if RDR2 isnt being shown, i will officially declare it (to my self) that its in development hell.

Horizon has gotten some hands on impressions btw. all positive by the looks of it.

Guardian: 'E3 diversity report - so was it a white guy-fest again?' - NeoGAF

Ask five people who follow the video games industry what to expect from an E3 press conference and they'll all paint you a similar picture. Bright lights on a big stage, lengthy cinematic trailers for shooters starring gravelly-voiced stubble-faced white men, interspersed with awkward patter from white men in suits (or, depending on the publisher, suit jackets and T-shirts and trainers), cheered and whooped at by a largely white male audience. This industry is often unwelcoming to women and underrepresented minorities, and these widely watched events do little to counter that. Of course, some conferences do better than others. This year, we've judged EA, Bethesda, Microsoft, Ubisoft, and Sony for the diversity of their speakers and of the games and characters on show. How do they compare?EA: (...)Conclusion: While even one woman on stage is more than some others manage, a company as large as EA has no excuse for being so limited. The Play to Give programme suggests an interest in diversity, but it would have been nice to see that represented on stage. Still, with a game as hotly anticipated as Mass Effect: Andromeda it was nice to meet the female Ryder first.Diversity rating: 2/5Bethesda: (...)Conclusion: The only identifiable woman in Bethesda's press conference was Emily Kaldwin, and while she made a strong showing it's unfortunate she has to share the limelight with her ageing father.Diversity rating: 1/5Microsoft (...)Conclusion: Microsoft gets points for featuring a game that you can only play as a female character (and her robot dog). As far as diversity on stage, it was the first conference to feature more than one female speaker, and there was an effort to include female players in demonstrations of multiplayer games, though only ever one per group.Diversity rating: 3/5Ubisoft (...)Conclusion: Only one of the games Ubisoft showed this year has a named protagonist, and it's a black guy. Most of the speakers on stage were white men, but for the fifth year in a row the best person for the job of holding it all together was a black woman.Diversity rating: 3/5Sony (...)Conclusion: With few speakers at all, the diversity of Sony's conference has to be judged on the games, two of which focused on female protagonists.Diversity rating: 3/5

Am I the only one laughing when a report about diversity gives "bonus points to a game that only lets you play as a female"? Conclusion: Microsoft gets points for featuring a game that you can only play as a female character

Different subject, seems David Cage is also a Ueda "fanboy", according to the Livecast interview. So the club has Miyazaki, Bruce Straley and Cage. Now i'm curious if Corey is in there too

Really weird report. I'm not a fan.

Pushing diversity for the sake of diversity isn't a good thing imo

The Guardian is an SJW rag. If you're more concerned about a character's gender and skin tone, then you have a problem. I'm more concerned about the character's background, motives, and personality because those aspects actually play an important role to a game's overall quality.

Social Media Reacts to E3 2016

I'm sure it still would've won otherwise, but I wonder if it got a boost for being pretty much the only Nintendo thing there.

When your entire fanbase really only has one game worth talking about.

That source doesn't seem like that good of an analysis, but it's still interesting.

SO apprently there is a surprise game to be showed at 420 pst.

all it says is "surprise"

Looks like it was Gwent, and God of War for the other.

I agree with this gentlemen.  The highest rated PSX game is Tony Hawk 2.
