Seriously, wth with these leaks? After seeing EA's presentation I felt they gave up. It was uninspiring, as if they were presenting a PPT at college. All the delight they wanted to save for us was killed by the uncontrolled amount of leaks! 

 

This sucks. There is no reason to watch E3 if there are no special surprises coming up.  Where is the delight?! Even if I try to refrain myself from spoilers all the news site, including Gamespot have the leaked version of the new Microsoft console. 

 

/rant.

Maybe the companies should do a better job at controlling their "secrets".

 

Heard from a friend that Microsoft, Apple and Elon Musk are partnering up and will announce a revolutionary product..."game changer" doesn't even describe it accurately.  Believe that will be on the 16th.  :shiftyninja:

There is no point E3 anymore it better for companies to announce there product when they are ready to ship rather then years before hand.  Also retailers who are the show was originally designed for are that important.  I think long run E3 will die.  Better to do seperate events for individual companies.

Quake Champions features a roster of unique characters, each with their own distinctive abilities, allowing you to fight the way you want.

Way to ###### on a franchise Bethesda.

All in all a fairly underwhelming showing.

 

Maybe I just missed it but did they say anything about the Skyrim remaster on pc? Are we getting the upgraded engine too? And if so are they going force us to buy it again? Because to me this should be a free upgrade for anyone who already owns the game.

I think PC was/is listed as well, so it's not console only.  As far as buying it again, I'd say odds are you probably have to, I don't know.  I'm not interested in the game though so I haven't been keeping up with it too much, my info could be off.

I loved to see all the emotion and every game that was going to come up so I could start building some hype. It was about expecting the next cool game. 

last time I remember being impressed with an event was all the reveals at the Video Game Awards.  And I'm not even sure if I watched it, heh.

 

E3 used to be the thing, but now it's between E3, PAX, TGS, VGA, Gamescom, and some dev specific events.

I agree, not sure if this has been happening more and more recently but this year I've at least noticed that there seems to be videos and articles about whats happening at E3 to the point there seems to be very little reason to actually follow it.

Ha with you there, I made the same comment in one of the E3 topics. 

 

Yes it may not hold the same excitement it did years back, but there's not denying that there are still a large number of announcements made and footage released. I started watching the EA one last night and after seeing they didn't really show anything new on Titanfall besides that leaked trailer I switched off.  

This topic is now closed to further replies.

      Nvidia is your issue more so than linux itself. I did used it for a while with an old 1060 3gb, but using propietary drivers was kind of messy.

    • What browser do you prefer to use, and why?

      By +Edouard · Posted

      The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
