Have just been watching. New IP everywhere!!!

 

RE7, about bloody time it went back to horror. Can't wait for it in VR.

 

Also can't believe Kojima got Reedus onto his new project. Legit shock!

 

Anyway time for sleep. Thanks Sony for trimming so much corporate crap. Shortest E3 ever from them.

Sony nailed it. For the first time since Playstation 2 I might have to consider getting a console.

 

God of War

Resident Evil

Horizon: Zero Dawn

Days Gone

Death Stranding, Hideo Kojima's new IP

Final Fantasy XV

Spiderman

 

And one that actually surprised was the footage of the new Call of Duty game. A bunch of amazing looking games.

I did not plan to buy a console this gen but if the new God of War is good along with Horizon added to that the new Uncharted i'll surely buy the new more powerful model­.

That's what I was thinking too. I also don't care about VR. Just putting that out there. I think it's a gimmick just like motion controls and so far nothing has convinced me otherwise.

I must admit first time i'm excited for a Call of Duty game since a looonnngggg time. it legitimately looks good. The concept on paper looked like a bad idea but it looks like they nailed it. I hope there's a lot of flying mission. If 20-25% of the game is flying and if the flying part is well done i'm sold.

Yeah, and the combat in space looked pretty solid, with the grappling hook and melee kills.

For me the biggest new reveal was God of War.  It looks AMAZING though it's going to be odd if they're going to call him Kratos still and on screen the "Spartan rage" thing seemed out of place... why not just rename him a Nordic name call it "Berserker rage" or something.  Still looks great though.

 

Horizon Zero Dawn is still my overall favorite from the show but it's big reveal was last year.

 

Days Gone looked good in the initial tease as a post apocalyptic bike riding bounty hunter game... but then lost me with the whole zombie thing.  I'm done with zombie games but if zombies are still your thing it looks like a good game.

 

Crash Bandicoot and Spiderman I'll keep an eye on.  The rest wasn't of much interest to me but that's just reflective of my personal taste in games not anything Sony did wrong.

 

Oh, Call of Duty Infinite Warfare almost made me want to pick up a Call of Duty game... ALMOST.

I didn't even realize that's what it was and thought it was an open-world single player sci-fi shooter/rpg at first...

RDR rumours (probably BS)
 

Quote

 

First thing first, please take this with a grain of salt, I am not promising anything. There are many rumors spreading around that Rockstar wanted Sony to delay their conference by 5+ hours, but Sony could not accommodate Rrequest. According to a post on the GTA forum, the reason behind the possible delay is that R trailer for RDR involved an outlaw entering a saloon and shooting many innocent people, this would be a PR nightmare (and in bad taste) due to the recent events that occurred this past weekend in Orlando, FL (link to forum page account name: jedijosh920 )


This cause Sony to reveal the Days Gone gameplay reveal as the finale rather than after the trailer (which seemed out of place). My speculation is that Sony needed a filler to replace what would have been a controversial ending (again due to the tragic events that occurred this past weekend). Again this is all speculation, but we may have a reveal of RDR tomorrow.

I'm on vacation so for the first time in a long time I did not get to watch the press conferences live. I did go back and watch them both and my personal tastes leaned towards what Sony showed.

First off I have read all the Last Of Us comparisons, especially for GoW and that biker game Days Gone and while I agree I also say great. If other developers can match the quality and weigh5 of TLOU I'm all for it.

I also thought that David  Cage Detroit whatever it is called "game" looked very cool. My type of story all the way.

Finally easily my favorite reveal, and I mean easily, is Spider-Man. My two favorite hobbies meeting once again and having the potential it does with Insomniac behind the development. So count me in.

I am still really impressed by Horizon. One of the most non-talked about games coming out of E3.  Days Gone is like The Last of Us with a little bit of TWD and World War Z. GOW was surprising. Really knocked it out of the park with that introduction.  As for Detriot, I'll have to see some actual gameplay to see how it pans out. Spider-man..well if it IS an Open World Spider-man and if we can do all of that that is in the trailer, should be on hell of a ride. I'm definitely looking forward to it. Still bummed about no Red Dead 2.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

      With how far Tim Apple's head has been up Trump's ass, there's no way this was done reluctantly.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
