I also need more pictures of Cadabra.

Not the best start Microsoft could have had. Nothing new, and not a Microsoft all-stars game as one could get the feeling of near the end of the trailer.

I can't be the only one to think that most Halo games look identical. But plus points for having a continuous story, in contrast to CoD and Assassin's Creed.

Native X360 support on XB-O? Could be awesome, but has Mass Effect 1 always run at 15Hz?

Also, this is three shooting games in a row. Jim Sterling was right.

So, Microsoft is making an elite-tier controller, presumably with elite-tier prices. I expect a price tag of 900 kroner (£85).

4 in a row with guns. Also, Fallout: Ghosts, with no-scope 360 quick-scopes! And the same dog.

It stopped at 5 in a row with guns. But apparently they're banking on that no one remember the 2003 Ford GT.

I remember.

I can't watch this Microsoft conference anymore. It's nothing but shooting games and one lone game of any other genre. Not only is this the worst conference I have ever seen, beating out Ubisoft's 2014 conference by a large margin, but my dad stated that he would pull the electricity in my PC room if I kept shouting angrily at all the bad games they featured.

Hmm I have the impression that this year, the game front will be poor of really new stuff, beside the sequeals of established franchisings (waiting deserved, but isn't new). Also if I recall correctly, Bethesda isn't at E3 with Fallout 4 this year.
I have the impression that the hardware side will give more.

Can you warn me if there are some news around X-COM 2 of Firaxis? Is the only game that I'm interesting.

(unedited first impressions)

One of the problems I have with modern game industry is that I do not care about individual games. I care about individual game details, gameplay innovations, and these conferences virtually never show them.

This looks like a generic first person game. I can't even call it a shooter at this point.

Intense chase scene! Does it have any chance to kill you? That is the true question.

The fact that they keep cutting back to the stage makes it seem like they're unsure of their own product.

Why is this level so dark? Is it normal for Halo to be this dark? I've only played the first game, and it was pretty bright, even indoors.

This looks like that generic Call of Duty cinematic video game experience everyone was making fun of a few years ago.

Let's move on to another game.

Oh noes, a dog died.
Oh yays, it's instantly resolved. I didn't even get a chance to feel anything, especially because it was a robot.
Is this Recore thing a game or a movie?

Hooray, backward compatibility!
So wait, is it for selected titles only, or for all of them? Wii U works with literally all Wii games, how about this one?
Can I have an Xbox One Elite wired controller instead, please?

Fallout 4 allows to do "anything I want"? Can I start a My Little Pony fandom in Fallout 4?
Dialogues where you select phrases from pre-determined lines does not corelate with "anything you want". Need I remind you, in some old games you had to input your character's speech via keyboard, letter by letter.
Holy hell, it's a Patzerklein! I am now reminded that I'm the only person in the world who's played Silent Storm.
"Morrowind on Xbox" sounds painful. And not in a good sense, in literally painful sense.

"Let's push release dates forward for no reason unless they pay 5 dollars a month", says EA.

Stop bringing goddamn cars to the stage, Microsoft, you make your conference look like Satan's party from South Park.
It's a racing game, woo. Makes me want to play Hot Pursuit II. Or Most Wanted, if I'd like N2O to be involved.

Blood Souls?
Tough luck, it's Dark Souls' Creed. That is all.

You see, with Division I see that it's a video game. Not because they're showing video gamey stuff, no; because of subpar (in terms of CGi movies) graphics.

A public beta test of a multi-platform game on one console?
Wait, a Beta test on a console period? What???

And here comes my reminder that I don't automatically like everything that looks cartoony. Gigantic.

And here comes my reminder that I don't automatically like games that are indie!

Tacoma, winner of the worst teaser of the conference.

Beyond Eyes, an excuse to render as little scenery as possible.

If only I didn't abslutely hate old Disney animation style. Only then would Cuphead look interesting to me.

I feel completely emotionless after this Tomb Raider trailer. "Incredible. This is it" my ass.

"You'll never forget your first game" I actually don't remember my first game.

Sea of Thieves is so far the only game that seems alright.

Another Fable game. k

I hear Notch sob every time Mojang uses the "our" word when talking about Minecraft.

"You can see things underground without digging, because screw playing"

THIS IS NOT A STRONGHOLD

Another completely dark shooter game. Let's bet if this game has a gamma slider.
I can't see anything.
I still can't see anything.
Help
I've been blinded

They did run a gameplay-ish video of Fallout 4 in the Microsoft conference.

As usual, the company with the biggest chance of announcing new hardware is Nintendo, but there are zero signs of a new system unveiling at their Nintendo Digital Event (if they'll run an explicitly named Digital Event this year, which I don't even know if they'll do).

A reply to >>466 coming up.

>>466
>Fallout 4 allows to do "anything I want"? Can I start a My Little Pony fandom in Fallout 4?

You came later, there is already Fallout:Equestria... :p

From a recent article, I had understanded that Bethesta would skipped this E3: I was misleaded then.

> "You'll never forget your first game" I actually don't remember my first game.

He has an idea how much old is my fist game? :D

>>466
I was hoping I could do a step-by-step highlight reply, but dammit, almost every one of your posts can't be separated from each story. They tell an entire wholesome story of the worst conference ever held©©©. Like a story from the 1800's story collectors of Germany, of Norway, and of Russia. A moralistic story. Of the fall of a man through eternal repetition.

In an hour and half (give or take) EA will be on the scene. Will video gaming live, or will video gaming die?

Some noteworthy notes in spite of the poetry:
>Wait, a Beta test on a console period? What???
It's been done since the Halo 3 beta in 2006-ish.

>Another Fable game. k
*sobbing*

>Tacoma, winner of the worst teaser of the conference.
Do I even want to know what that teaser was even about, if it managed to be the worst of a pile of outback misfits?

I liked the Mass Effect Andromeda trailer better while it sticked to a "space travels and Johnny Cash country music" theme.

Well that's one thing on the "What we'll actually get" list crossed off, in regards to Need for Speed.

Wait a damn minute here, they've ripped off earlier titles before, but calling it only "Need for Speed"? Now you're heading into pretty deep depths.

Those camera angles while drifting will probably cause mass nausea among gamers, with busy hospitals as a result.

"Emotional" "small-producer" game with a "woolen theme". That's three E3 clichés checked off.

Umeå isn't a very big town (~20 000 citizens?), so residents there very clearly aren't used to standing on the big stage at E3.

Most rigged slot machine ever. (PvZ:GW2)

"TIMES UP" — You couldn't even find the apostrophe button?

One friend in local splitscreen. Seriously. By the time of PS4, I expected that increased power and mandatory widescreen would have made six-player splitscreen a thing by 2015.

I can't say I expected that NBA Live 16 would get the longest coverage of all at EA's conference.

FIFA 15. Ultimate Team. On a smartwrist. That's like a frying pan that can receive WWE Network pirate streams.

A Despicable Me mobile game. This E3 officially sucks.

Isn't this the 15th year in a row that they promised unbelievable innovation? It's hard to believe when the actual amount of times that the innovation has been pronounced is perhaps two times out of those fifteen claims.

I don't like Messi when he's off the pitch.

I don't see Norway among the "fifteen" womens' teams...

A now, the stream is broken too. Perfect.

Battlefront 3: like Battlefront 1, just with bigger stuff to break.
Not bad, probably one of the few games that I like see remain the same with time.

(unedited first impressions)

I can't believe it is even possible, but they somehow managed to ruin Plants vs. Zombies lore. How do you even do that
I hear Cell sounds from Spore. I wonder if EA reused them.
My gaming persona tries to commit suicide every time you try to show scripted footage and claim it's legit gameplay.
Oh boy, single player mode with AI! Good job, EA. You remembered that Battlefield 1942 exists.

Sports, sports, sports.
Again with the face technologies.
Thousands of new animations, can't wait for even more glitch videos about your sports games, EA. Those are always fun to watch.

Hooray, EA and Mobile, nothing can go wrong with when they come togetDungeon Keeper.
Oh look, two types of currency in the top right corner, I wonder if this is a mobile game from EA.
These yellow morons are the worst. They're worse than Rayman bunnies. Those at least can dance.

Thankfully the appearance of Pele does not make EA's conference look like Satan's party from South Park.
How the hell do you innovate in games that are literally copies of sports that have set-in-stone rules that do not allow innovation beyond strategies?
You mean you haven't perfected the simulation of sports by 2015? You lazy trucks.

I hope they remember that Mirror's Edge 1 was not about Faith, but about the liberty-seeking organization Faith was working for.
I also hope they don't forget that you could equip guns in Mirror's Edge 1.

Wait, was Mirror's Edge Catalyst just shoehorned inbetween two sports blocks? What just happened? What is this random American football section?

I don't care about sports all that much, but this is ever worse, it's a sport that is exclusive to a country I don't live in, so my care-o-meter isn't even in negatives right now, it's in imaginaries.

And the stream just dies.
The stream crash was staged by EA as an excuse to generate hype around Star Wars Battlefront without showing it.
Nevermind, it's back online. Star Wars, yay?

I personally am down for multiplayer game that shows you "EA presents a DICE game" every time you start a match.
Wow, all of this captured from just one Playstation 4, I'm impressed.
Unless "a" doesn't mean "one" anymore.
There's an unusual lack of stars in this Star Wars game. And don't give me this "you can't make a multiplayer game in open space", Unreal Tournament 2004 exists.
Yeah, "actual" doesn't mean what you think it means, EA. It's okay, I'm used to you being a bunch of liars.

>>479
>There's an unusual lack of stars in this Star Wars game. And don't give me this "you can't make a multiplayer game in open space", Unreal Tournament 2004 exists.

Don't worry, for the multiplay in space there already Elite:Dangerous that will be showed wednesdey for XBox.

>>497
I cannot even, and I refuse to remember how to again. I accidentally my whole will to stay up much longer tonight.

I refuse to watch any more pathetic streams tonight. The gaming of tomorrow is dead. And if Nintendo and Square Enix doesn't create heaven on earth, this E3 is hereby the worst I have caught in my life.

>>481
>I refuse to watch any more pathetic streams tonight. The gaming of tomorrow is dead. And if Nintendo and Square Enix doesn't create heaven on earth, this E3 is hereby the worst I have caught in my life.

I think I will endure until Xcom2. The 1st was a good turn-based game, the second promise some different features worth of check, like the mobile HQ.

>>482

And that is what I wanted to see. The gameplay is very close to the 1st one, with the improvement that the first haven't, like the procedural maps and ambushes (impossible to do with the 1st Enemy Unknow).
XCom 2 will be my next (and probably, the only) buying when out.

(unedited first impressions: Ubisoft)

South Park continues to be one of the richest things in the media.
Ubisoft goes full verbal right from the start.

Ubisoft promises "new genre"? What is it?
This trailer goes on forever, and makes me want to replay Spellforce 1. I remember having good memories of that game, even though I couldn't handle its difficulty as a kid.
It's called For Honor, what is the genre?
"Art of battle"? Is it the genre?
I'm seeing generic over-the-shoulder game, what is the new genre?
This looks like Dynasty Warriors.
And now it looks like Dark Souls.
I fail to see this "new genre". Probably because you failed to show "new genre".
Hey, Ubi, it's called "Chivalry: Medieval Warfare". Google it.

What is this cat riding a unicorn thing
I can feel this game dying all around me.

Time for Division game.
Online Open World Cooperative Action RPG.
Look at all this scripted action that they're trying to convey as gameplay example.
This mix of gameplay and cinema shows just how distant from cinema legit games are.
lulz ninja looter and ganker gtfo

"Extraterrestrial" does not equal "in space". I would love a building game which takes place in open space, with no planet in sight. Just empty space everywhere and you get to build stuff there. Gives more value to the moments when you reach distant space objects.
Anno 2205 looks nice.

What the hell was that intermission with some random guy in the audience.

Just Skip 2016.

Splinter Cell!?
Oh, nevermind, it's Rainbow Six.
Stop swearing, please.
Good thing your enemies don't have rapid fire weaponry and you do.
This gameplay actually looked legit. Unfortunately I'm not interested.

Holy holy holy, Trackmania!
This looks like Trackmania United so far.
Give me one reason to play this instead of Trackmania United.
Those are terrible medal ghosts.
Why would I need a random map generator in Trackmania? Isn't it supposed to allow me to make my own maps?
"Completely new enviroment" looks exactly like what I saw in Trackmania Sunrise. Multi-language "Thank You" won't save you.

Oh hey, it's Assassin's Creed <Noun>. In the immortal words of every guard in Oblivion ever, "why won't you die!?"
I'm waiting for Assassin's Creed Space. I won't play it because I dislike the whole franchise, but I want it to exist.
You could skip Assassin's Creed and show Trackmania map editor instead.
This guy's said a bunch of nonsense and everyone's clapping? What?

So is Ghost Recon what you get when you take Division, Rainbow Six, and mash them together?

This was slightly better than the first two conferences.

>>484
>Holy holy holy, Trackmania!
There is a new TrackMania?! Wow, let's see if this trailer can fix things somewhat!

*watches trailer at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3piye62BYf4 *

It didn't fix things all that much. The first 1:06 of the video is a re-skin of the Nations environment as it was in TM United and TM Nations Forever. It's not even a joke, it's a re-skin of the same type you would expect in TM Nations Forever's online servers. No plus points there.

I have a bad feeling for the Pacific-ish setting. While the steeps, trees and surroundings invoke a TM Sunrise feel, the corners and camera angles shout "TM2 Canyon", which was an experience I would not try to play through twice, due to very tight drifting requirements and the ferocious difficulty that was behind building your own tracks and find it playable at the validation drive.

Also, "first time on consoles", as per Ubisoft's European YouTube trailer? I know that most people would like to forget about the Wii and DS games, but this is a low stoop of the same kind as Forza Motorsport 6's Ford GT40 revival.

If I am to buy TrackMania Turbo, my list of requirements would be long. A third environment, the Pacific environment would have to exhibit a United feel, and more than one race mode. Ubisoft, if you pull the TM2 garbage talk about the creation of your own game mode, as an excuse to only include one single-player race mode in a TrackMania, there will to me be no such thing anymore as a "racing genre" to me.
