E3 2015

We usually do have a topic about this don't we?


So since it's starting on Monday, I figured I'd go ahead and make one and link some places where you can watch all the conferences. I usually pick the Gametrailers one, since they always have a complete day planned with interviews and demos in between the conferences, so it's a bit more fun to watch.

I'll update whenever I find some other pages. But obviously, the sony one will also be viewable on your PS3 or PS4 or on playstation.com or twitch.tv/playstation and I'm assuming Microsoft will have the same sort of stuff going on.

Thanks Psycho, this is an annual tradition we should uphold.

PLEASE BE EXCITED

It's not a good E3 if it doesn't involve me bitching about everything.

That Frog's Theme remix doe. I doubt it means anything, but if they decided to remake Chrono Trigger in PS3/PS4 graphics that would be sick. Since they'll never remake FFVII, they might as well go for Chrono Trigger.

I could go for a more fruitier looking Crono and Magus, an emo Frog, a dumber Ayla, a submissive and weaker Marle, a sluttier looking Lucca, and a charmless Robo.

Might end up missing everything this year, you guys are welcome to use that old mumble though.

I might be on for Bethesda and Sony, as neither will fuck with my sleeping habits at all. How many other people are keen?

Hmm, I could give Sony a crack maybe, not sure if I can be bothered watching a whole presentation on Fallout 4 though.

Doom will be there as well I imagine. But I guess that's not were your interests are..?


I probably will be staying up for the Bethesda one.

If it's entirely about Fallout, I will probably nope-out of there. Fallout is very cool, but I don't know if I'm interested enough in it for that. I would quite like to see if anything Elder Scrolls-y is happening though. It's not like I have quite enough open world RPGs to play...

also, to kind of cut into another topic, does anyone have particular stuff they'd love to see?

for me it's:

- Guerilla's new IP: it's said to be an RPG this time, and I'm really curious what they can do with it. It'll be a nice change from all the Killzone stuff, which I loved, but they needed to do something different.

- The Last Guardian: yeah, this is still on my list, they need to show it, show some good gameplay and give a release date

- Uncharted 4: we've already seen it, but it's going to be at the conference, and it's going to probably be some sort of a major set piece that'll blow everyone away.

- Crash Bandicoot revival: yep, I've been hoping for it for quite a while now, and I really, really want it. preferably made by a developer who isn't shit.

- Elder Scrolls 6: not gonna happen, but I want a follow-up to Skyrim already, don't give a shit about Online, but seeing as that just released, I highly doubt it'll be announced or talked about.

- cool games for Morpheus: yeah, I'm really interested in VR, and I would love for them to show off some cool games for it, or announce that games that are already out might be compatible with it. (not necessarily with all functionality, but being able to play them on the headset instead of on your tv would be nice and more immersive I guess)


probably some other stuff I'm forgetting, but this is what I wanna see most.

As always, I want to see another Sly Cooper game announced. I was pretty happy with the newer one and they set up for another one.

Maybe some Victory Vs. J-Stars+ exclusive characters announced, because I think they said they would add some characters for the Western release.

I'm looking forward to seeing more of Street Fighter V and Uncharted 4.

anyone waiting for Bethesda, you might wanna check out the Nintendo World Championships 2015. Going on right now, right here:

Reggie still sucks at smash.

I want Mario Maker so bad

Those levels were pretty interesting to watch. The winner completely destroyed that last level, and it didn't look easy at all.

The bethesda one starts soon doesn't it? Are we using mumble again? This is the first E3 in a couple years I can watch.

sorry Moose, I think not a lot of us were on, and tbh, it was too late at night for me to bother with a mumble. I might be on today for all the other stuff though.


Anyways, that Fallout presentation was pretty much perfect. They totally convinced me, I didn't really have much interest in the game beforehand, but it's on my preorder list now, what they showed was just too good not to give it a shot.

okay, looks like Gametrailers isn't actually "hosting" the press conferences this year, so I updated the first post with Microsoft, EA and Sony links. Couldn't find one for Ubisoft so you'll have to go to IGN for that I suppose.

Doom 4 looks extraordinarily bland and the room full of people cheering for every scripted melee kill only made it worse.

E: I'll probably play Dishonored 2 because I like the art design and the powers in the first game made it pretty fun, if easy. Fallout 4 seems to be Fallout 3/NV with mods, which isn't a bad thing but also isn't particularly exciting.

yeah, I wasn't too impressed with Doom either. I expected more, it just looked weird to me, I can't put my finger on what it was, but something was just off or not right.



Anyways, in other news:

http://www.siliconera.com/2015/06/15/final-fantasy-vii-remake-is-coming-to-playstation-4/#5x5b7dHtrm0dgZCP.99



I don't know, I didn't know siliconera but I'm hearing it's a credible source. I'm afraid we'll just be trolled by Square again like they did at the PS Experience event, but then again... maybe that event was just to throw us off, it seemed so weird he'd just come out to announce a FFVII port to PS4...

Go home, Siliconera. You're drunk.

I edited the OP to include the schedule and mumble details, in case anyone wants to use it.

I'd be curious to see how well a FFVII remake would actually sell, if I had to guess I seriously doubt it'd recoup the costs of CGI and remaking all the assets for new systems just through the reputation of the original.

Looks like I'll miss the MS one since I'm seeing Jurassic World.
