E3 2018 Thread: THIS PARTY'S GETTING CRAZY...LETS ROCK! Day 3, Last Day of E3! Streams, Interviews, and Gameplay!

It depends upon the deals behind 3rd party exclusives on whether they still make money or not. Often times the first party company will give the 3rd party company money for the exclusivity to offset the possibility of the money that they lose in keeping it on one console and depending on the game it can be often better to just focus a game down and format it for one platform than multiple. If this wasn’t the case then company’s wouldn’t say stuff like what the Unravel Dev said about not having the resources to port their game to switch despite it being a good fit for the platform.

Exclusivity is always going to be a case by case unless you’re a first party dev.

Good look on Microsoft for showing a bunch of games.

The problem isn’t realism(although I don’t like the realism style either), the problem is the renders on their faces just look like shit.

Hell ask any Sony or Nintendo fan/loyalist/zealot whatever you want to call them on why they chose that console over the other console. 9/10 they’ll say “exclusives”.

Microsoft exceeds in multiplayer games because that’s what they’ve geared their gaming company into becoming. A social gaming machine. Which is fine. But they have next to no exclusive content that makes them appealing to someone who wants to feel special or validated when buying their system. Almost every Xbox console owner I know when I’ve asked why they chose Xbox they usually say “because all my friends have it” or “the games I like to play online have better net code on Xbox so it easier to play with friends” and you know what? With games like fornite, overwatch and pubg In the forefront of gaming right now that’s a perfectly reasonable response. But that’s not enough for me.

In fact net code or how ever many of my friends have x system doesn’t even matter to me.
What matters to me is what content are you providing for me? What games are you releasing that are exclusive to me and in a way reward me for choosing you over x brand. That’s what I care about.

Like I said, I’ll take the L on this. Or to make sure I don’t sound pretentious…

Cuphead DLC, Jump Force, and CYBERPUNK 2077 caught my attention!!

Of course, they’re either end up on PS4 or/and PC, both of which I have.

I’ll play new cuphead and gears on my Xbone. For multiplatform, I will buy KH3 and CoD BO4. I never bought it for exclusives. I bought it out of convenience. Most of my set up is Microsoft heavy and it was an easier transition for me. Sony I always bought last when deals are sonicabid tier good. The exclusives were just a bonus.

Also out of all those studios that Microsoft announced on acquiring Ive only heard of ninja theory but can’t for the life of me think of any games they made and I’m too lazy to googs. What have they made?

DmC, Hellblade, Heavenly Sword and Enslaved

So nothing worth mentioning

Enslaved is a decent game and Heavenly Sword was a fine God of War clone. Haven’t played Hellblade personally.

Ninja theory has made the poorly received DmC reboot, the recent Hellblade, A futuristic Journey to the West inspired game called Enslaved and I believe Heavenly Blade an early PS3 title.

The other guys, I think one branch is specifically the developers of Forza Horizon series.

But I feel for MS, their biggest issues this generation have been Japanese developers for the most part don’t fuck with them on exclusives because Japan for three console generations haven’t given the Xbox line love or respect. They have paid for Western ones both timed and full exclusives but a big issue with them has been the rise of PC gaming and their own support of it.

It is a sad situation for them but at least they moved more units then the Wii U. Hopefully they will have a strong lineup ready next system instead of firing at Sony with just multi platform games.

CD Projekt Red talks about the Cyberpunk in a hidden message, game still coming ‘when it’s ready’

Halo Infinite will have a new style and mostly focus on the Chief after dealing with the Guardians

Bethesda conference is now

If you can’t watch the conference I’ll update this post.

Right now they’re just showing a video about them. Just doing a montage of the games that they’ve made. Pete Hines is coming out. Theme of the conference is create. Lol Pete Hines making jokes about Walmart leaking Rage 2 and now we’re moving just into it…orrr…not? some due named Andrew K and a band has now taken over the stage? Oh ok so they’re doing that Party Party Song that was in that Rage 2 trailer (mostly know it personally from Helsing Abridged). Ok…wtf…are they actually doing a concert right now? God dammit… I thought we learned from this lmao. They’re not even playing gameplay while they’re playing the music. They’re just straight up doing a concert right now. The crowd is mostly unamused. OK uh…well…that was…something. so now we got some guys onstage to talk about rage 2 again.

…wtf is going on right now? Are they buying time right now? I thought we were going to go into gameplay. Ok we’re finally going into an extended look of Rage 2 finally. Lots of guns, cars, in the wasteland with a narrator. Now they’re going into the walkthrough, name of the Protagonist is Walker and now they have him running through an open wasteland and following a dirt path. Very Mad Max ish with the vehicular combat. Seamless open word comes up on the screen, wow…that guy got sucked into that grenade then tossed through the air and the guy through a glave that took the body for a ride before he exploded. Aaaand now they went to a commercial with a talking head. k…BACK TO THE ACTION. EXPLOSIONS BULLETS PANDEMONIUM. Guy just look like he popped something like X factor and went crazy. now he’s going into a place full of computers in the dark and he activates a panel opening the shutters of the building. Some uh…ship seems to have just landed right outside the building. ok looks like some mutants have showed up. and now there’s a big ugly looking mofo with a football helmet? Cutting to a montage completely with more bullets, explosions and vehicles. Game is getting released Spring 2019.

Moving into the next game…They’re moving into Elder Scrolls Legends…zzzzzzzzzzz…Legends is coming to PS4, Switch and Xbone later this year. And now we’re going to look into the future of Elder Scrolls Legends. Uh showing the game being played on the phone and tablet. Pretty sure I saw a guy…yeah he was playing on a pro controller and they showed it on the Switch.

now they’re going to talk about ESO Summerset. They’re making this awkward with the pauses and trying to force the audience to clap for stuff that they want them to clap for. Guy is making a joke…1 guy found it really funny aand nobody else…really did. Oh god…and this conference going to be a meme? It feels like it’s heading that way. Guy is still talking about it being a great chance to jump into ESO. Anounced a new dungeon DLC called Wolf Hunter, and they have a story dlc coming out called Mark Meyer. So now they’re just going to do a trailer about what you can encounter in ESO. Some guy being carried in chains, Guy who looks like an elf stabs a dude on a slab, and looks like he stabs you. various clips of surrounding locales around ESO. Summerset is available now.

Looks like we might be moving into…Doom 2 maybe? This looks like a hellscape. Yeah I’m pretty sure this has to be Doom 2 there’s no way it isn’t. Yeah and there’s Mick Gordon’s guitar and Doom guy. Game is called Doom Eternal. 2 devs are now talking about the game. Game is infact a sequel. Twice as many demons in this game, team will be debuting Doom Eternal at Quakecon later this year. So that’s all you get for Doom Eternal I guess.

Moving on to what looks like we are moving on to Quake Champions. Guy coming out to talk about all the stuff they’re doing with Quake con. Talking about Quake Champions still being in early access. There’s a Trial version of the game that they’re going to make available and if you dl you can still play it even after the trial is done. Showing fast gameplay of of Quake with the various different characters you can play. A lizard guy, a uh…lady on lazer blades zipping about, guy with shoulder missles.

Now we’re moving into Prey. Just a video right now. Apparently they’re sending out a free update to the prey, New Game+, story mode, and Survival mode, and now they are working on Prey DLC. Looks like we’re going into footage of the Prey DLC. looks like this guy is living through groundhog day. Prey Mooncrash seems to be what it’s called. It says Available now.

They have Tiphon Hunter? coming out for Prey later this year. People can play the mimics against the player and pretend to be various objects in the environment.

Ok now we’re moving into Wolfenstein II. Devs talking about the game and the game coming to the Switch. Looks like a new game called Wolfensteing Young Blood will be coming out that will focus on BJ’s twin daughters, and it will also be co-op. Showing gameplay footage of the game now. BJ is talking over the trailer, I’m guessnig he’s talking to his daughters. Girl hunting a deer, Nazi’s marching in the streets, game is coming 2019.

Pete Hines is now back out. Talking about VR now. Prey Typhon Hunter will be able to be experienced through VR. Wolfenstein Cyberpilot announced for VR. Play as a hacker against the nazis, Both will be playable at E3.

Todd Howard coming out to talk about Fallout 76. Todd is now talking about his experience at Bethesda. Or…not? What in the fuck is going on right now? They’re playing Elder Scrolls Skyrim on Amazon Alexa? WTF…This can’t be real right now. oh by the way this trailer is being done by Key from Key and Peele. lol. This is just a joke trailer…has to be.

Ok we’re really gonna talk about Fallout 76. This looks to be the same trailer that was shown at M$'s conference…yyyeah…this is the exact same trailer from M$'s conference. Ok now actual new gameplay of the game. Guy opens up a glass for his Pip boy and he walks out and there’s a voice talking about it being Reclamation day, Looks like this guy over slept and everyone else already left. He walks out to a beautifule country side in the fall. Very hilly area. Can see far in the distance. Todd talking about the game while they’re showing the different locales of West Virginia, now they’re showing some of the creatures you’re run into at Fallout. He just said each of those characters is a real person, Pete just confirmed that the game is online. Game can be played solo. Open World, Survival, every person is real (this is crazy if they are really gonna try for this). You will never see a server when you play. You can join your friends whenever you want and progression will go with you. World’s will be populated by a few dozen people. You decide the villian and you decide the heroes. Now showing a video of someone’s encounter with someone, Guy took a bullet in the chest, and he had to oldschool pack the gun and then blew his head clean off. Footage of people going out together, playing instruments together, forging together and exploring the wide open game together. You can build where you want and move it to wherever you want. Now showing a person building building and setting up a turrets. Guy is being attacked by a Dragon bat? Looks like they killed it. WTF another nuke occured and they all got vaped. There are multiple nuclear missle sites on the the map. Todd said ‘they thought to put them there and let you guys do whatever you want’ that’s insane lmao. Now they’re showing how you can go about getting a nuke. if you can’t find a code you may be able to team with someone else. If there’s someone you don’t like you can essentially wipe them off the face of the earth lol. You can get rare stuff from the fallout, They are planning on having dedicated servers for the games. They are planning on having a beta. Todd poking fun at themselves about their buggy games. Glad they can poke fun at themselves. They announcing some collectibles you get with some of the special edition of the game, including the hazmat helmet and a glow in the dark map with some figures. Game is coming out Nov. 24 of this year. Wow…that’s nice.

Announcing Fallout Shelter is coming to PS4 and Switch. Releases tonight. This feels like it’s closing now. No Fallout 3 remaster announcement so far? Elder Scrolls Blades announced for phones. First person experience. Game can be played in portrait mode. I have to say Todd has got some swag, he’s a good speaker. Blades has a few modes of play, Abyss, Arena and Town, Abyss is seeing how far you can go in an endless dungeon, Arena is mostly for fight, and Town is story based and you build the town. Blades is going to be coming to every platform they can, PC, consoles, VR, Phones. They’re going to try to have it so that the game is crossplay with everything (good luck with that for Sony). Game will be free.

Apparently they’re working on a next generation new game. They’re making their first new IP in 25 years. Showing trailer for their new IP. Looks like this game is taking place in space. Seeing a planet with the sun emerging from behing the planet, there’s a Satelite hanging on the outskirts. Game is called Starfield. A game they’ve been spending years thinking about. They are also building towards the game after that.

Sounds like we’re talking about Elder Scrolls VI. Just a short teaser to announce Elder Scrolls VI, just a wide shot looking over a hilly side.

and Pete Hines is back out. OK now everything is done. Not bad…was stumbling hard in the beginning and then they brought it back. not bad not bad.

andrew wk? what is this?

I’m . . . not familiar with the type of thing I’m seeing.

Enslaved is not a decent game. Some of the worst feeling combat ever, ugh.
