Lamp, broken circa 1988 Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 WARNING: I AM ABOUT TO BE STRIDENT IN A FASHION THAT AMUSES MYSELF. YOU ARE NOT ON TRIAL. WE COOL. The two options I will accept for the game of the year 2017 as of June 5th 2017 are Zelda and Nier Automata. Zelda is mechanically and structurally aspirational. I've not heard two identical play session stories and it's been three months of mania. That's amazing. Nier Automata is a Video Game That's About Something*. I bought a PS4 copy just so I can hand it to my other friends and go "YOU NEED TO SEE THIS." It's just that they both have a pretty high barrier to entry (own a wii u, find a switch, or justify buying a wii u in 2017; ability to stomach Excessive Japan Design). Therefore, I see every answer that's neither Zelda or Nier as "I don't want to cross that entry barrier," which is totally reasonable considering those barriers. *if a quick pitch about what I think it's about would help sell anyone, my abbreviated interpretation is "the modern empathy gap." EDIT: fucking shit of course this started a new page. uhh, my E3 predictions are I'm gonna have fun yet still not be moved to buy anything but Destiny 2, Fire Pro World and Eitr for the rest of 2017. That is, if Eitr actually ever comes out. Click here for a video of Eitr it looks like VGA Souls give it to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Here's the Vampyr trailer. It looks fine, but one of my peeves is period piece games/movies/TV that go out of their way to use the least period piece music possible in their trailers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 16 hours ago, RIPPA said: Some of the E3 trailers are starting to get released early Project Cars 2 I don't know why racing game - and sports game in general - makers insist on using no (or hardly any, as in this one) gameplay footage in their trailers. ESPECIALLY on a game like this one where the incredibly-brief snippets of gameplay action look freaking SPECTACULAR. WTF. Don't show me "Replay Angle #37" that has looked good in every game since 1996. Show me the awesome gameplay stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 None of this is surprising but Activision announced that they will show COD WWII multiplayer and lots of Destiny 2 footage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I would not be surprised if the Sony conference featured the old "and it's available for download....now" bit regarding the Destiny 2 beta (for preorders, of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoBaltimore Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 So by Nintendo Spotlight does that mean they're doing a conference like others or is it their Treehouse deal? I'm assuming the former but knowing them worry it might be the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of all years to do one and they go with business as usual? What a missed opportunity. Oh, well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Man Known as Dan Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 So apparently Anthem will not be an RPG at all. Which probably means I'm already out on Anthem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 That came from EA's CEO on an investor's call, and they're prone to talking out of their ass on gameplay subjects at those things, so I wouldn't take that was gospel. On that same call, he said it would have all the same character progression and narrative people expect from BioWare, so...who knows. He certainly doesn't.
