E3 2019

[Rare White Ape]

Heya folks, it’s on now. Here’s a handy timetable with conversions to your timezone.

First out of the gate was Google with information today on Stadia’s release date and pricing. Others to watch for are Microsoft, EA, Devolver, Limited Run and Nintendo. All the rest can largely get fuuuuucked.

Tomorrow we will know more about the new Star Wars game that EA hasn’t cancelled yet. Exciting!

I think it looks great.

[Rare White Ape]

Yeah, really nice. Sweet, sweet lightsaber action!

I think the stormtroopers could be a little more dynamic but it’s alpha gameplay so they’ve got time to tweak things.

And it’s awesome to see Saw Gerrera there played by Forrest Whittaker.

Ok.

Xbox Game Pass for PC costs USD$5 a month and it’s available right now.

That’s a deal. Though it does have half the games as it’s console counterpart.

And Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is a new thing, and it costs $15 a month.

What you get with that is Game Pass for both platforms as well as XB Live Gold.

That’s also a deal. Whew!

Cyberpunk is out next April. Watch to the end of this trailer. It’s just… beautiful!

Halo Infinite will be a Project Scarlett launch game, late 2020.

FromSoftware and George RR Martin have been in cahoots and dun made a new game. It has a trailer but not much info.

It will probably have a rich atmosphere and be very hard.

Video looks pretty bad, quite 90s vibe and design. But we can't extrapolate anything about the game from it.

[Rare White Ape]

Here's more about it. It's open world, apparently.

Technically, the previous Souls games were open-world, if you think about them in terms of labyrinthine complexes having interconnected pathways. But this will be more like an open area that you can travel around in, like typical open-world games.

Introductory price for Game Pass ultimate is a dollah.

One. Dollar.

I'm now downloading Hellblade, FH4 and Metro Exodus to my PC. Time to see what this RTX malarkey is all about. I've got a month of gaming to do before I get bored of it again! But this time its on a decent computer and not a cheapo Xbox One S...

Cyberpunk definitely appears to be pretty awesome. I need some gameplay though.

48 minutes is enough?

Did anyone catch Devolver's show from yesterday? It managed to top last year's show by a stretch. Fucking amazing.

And yeah, all the game announcements in the show are legit. Including the Devolver Bootleg compilation.

Indeed!

Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Breath of the Wild sequel, and Gods & Monsters ended up being the “winners” for me.

Plenty of other games on my ‘buy’ list, but those were the three that got me kinda excited when I saw them in video.

[Blerpa]

I'm in for Cyberpunk 2077 (even if it would happen to "just" be The Witcher 3 in cyberpunk guise) and G&M.
Very happy for the Halo Collection coming to PC (They will cost 10$ each, beside Halo 3 ODST that will cost 5$) for a grand total of 55$.
Also intrigued by Watchdogs Legion.

[Jason]

Cyberpunk looks amazing, and it makes me wish video games had a “cinema mode” where I could just watch the game play out in full quality, since it’s likely a game I don’t want to actively play myself, but I want to appreciate the art that it is.

[Rare White Ape]

Here’s what I’ve been waiting for!

Pretty cool stuff. New Smash fighters, Astral Chain, Luigi’s Mansion 3, Daemon X Machina is looking better, and BotW sequel. People will be deeply over-examining that snippet of footage for a long time. Confirmation of a Witcher III port too.

Interestingly, no mention (yet) of updated Switch hardware. Rumours have been very strong, so it might be a talking point closer to Christmas. Also no mention of Bayonetta 3, which I thought would be a holiday tentpole alongside Pokémon.

And I think every Resident Evil game, save for RE7, is available to play on Switch this year!

Edit to add: I’m dying to play Cadence of Hyrule and Links Awakening!

[MR2 Fan]

TIFA looks amazing....that is all

[Rare White Ape]

Indeed!

There’s a new behind-closed-doors demo at E3 this year.

Here’s a lengthy report on it. I’ve only read the first 1/4.

https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2019-06-12-weve-seen-another-50-minutes-of-cyberpunk-2077-gameplay-is-it-cyberpunk-yet

Hopefully they’ll do the same as last year and release the full video of it online in a few weeks.

[Kchrpm]

The game I'm most excited about? Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3. And it's out in a month!

Just saw LA Department of Water & Power provide an update on a downtown LA outage that includes the convention center. That's gotta make E3 get real boring real quick. EDIT: Looks like they got power back at 4:20pm. Woooooo, smoke weed erry day!

[Freude am Fahren]

I'm stoked for Flight Simulator, though it looks like I need to drop about $5k to run it :lol: Hopefully it's more Flight Simulator and less Microsoft Flight.
