E3 2016 thread

never played a battlefield but bf1 trench warfare could change that. they showed snoop playing it using blunted reality tech

this zelda game looks unusually ambitious for nintendo

I watched the Sony conference. My notes.

Training stage for God of War. Kratos gets a new son to kill and feel angsty about.
Promo video for Days Gone a.k.a. Bikers vs. Zombies
Promo for The Last Guardian which looks the same as it did 7 years ago. Releasing Q4 this year.
Long gameplay video for Horizon: Zero Dawn, a complicated 3rd person shooter set in a future-fantasy world. I seek da true true.
Promo for a David Cage sci-fi game, Detroit: Become Human. They seriously couldn’t just show gameplay?
Promo for a Resident Evil game designed for youtube screamers. Overdue.
PS VR sales pitch. Q4, $400. Some videos including FF XV, a game announced 10 years ago.
Promo for COD:IF which looks super boring (people playing with their phones in the audience)
Crash Bandicoot PS1 games remade for PS4. No images. Promo for another Skylanders.
Promo gameplay for Lego Star Wars VII. What you’d expect.
Promo teaser for a Kojima-Reedus game which is likely Silent Hills without the name.
Another Spider-Man game.
Days Gone gameplay that I skipped

Nintendo treehouse:
Zelda: looks like the same old same old
half an hour of pokemon that i skipped
Zelda again: OK this looks pretty good! finally going back to its exploration roots.

that HZD trailer looked the best but i can't blame anyone for calling it "that robot dinosaur game", i tried searching for it this morning and ended up guessing about 5000 different combinations of "horizon" "zero" and "dawn" before i got it

wtf is "horizon zero dawn" and why would you name your cool robot dinosaur game that

it sounds like literally any generic modern military fps ever

also lol apparently kid of kratos is there for the entire game, probably because a lead writer had a child and thought the general public would want that

this zelda game looks unusually ambitious for nintendo

The fuck does this even mean?

had no real interest in Horizon until this latest demo - but damn the combat and sense of movement looks SO FUN.

im actually on board w/ the new god of war solely for how its pissing its fans off (warning: edgy usernames ahead)

Too bad SONY turned Kratos into a spiritual pansy! Another reason they couldn't call it God of War 4..........because it doesn't even feel like a God of War game at all.

I totally agree. I bought my PS4 because I love God of War. This looks like generic crap.

Totally down with God Of War: Farmers Market Hemp Soap Vendor Edition.

Shitty Dad of War seems okay; probably not a game I'll ever play but not even close to the visceral revulsion I got from Scalebound:

PROTIP: When attacking innocent giant water spiders from the back of your dragon mount, don't forget your BEATS BY DRE (tm) headphones. They're the TOTALLY TUBULAR to appreciate the amazing soundtrack from THE PRODIGY.

Every several months I get nostalgic for big action games and take a look at the new releases, see trailers with their excruciating dialogue, voice acting and "games aren't just for kids, this is serious stuff" emotional drama.

Resident Evil looks pretty different.

picture this: the walking dead meets sons of anarchy

Every several months I get nostalgic for big action games and take a look at the new releases, see trailers with their excruciating dialogue, voice acting and "games aren't just for kids, this is serious stuff" emotional drama.

I always get bemused when gamers get really angry that a longstanding voice actor gets replaced, like now a different terrible wooden VA is going to woodenly read the shitty dialogue for your favourite 1-dimensional killbot video game character, oh no

Does that happen that often? The people who did the Metal Gear Solid series is the only game I'm aware of having a cast fans are attached to.
There was the voice recasting in the Silent Hill 2 remaster but that was a shitty thing to do to a classic game. Very different case.

This terrible style of drama in games has been common since the late 90s but now it's in so much more. I'm not even sure the voice actors are at fault most of the time.

The Batman series lost Kevin Conroy for a while, right?

how abt the obv scripted gamer dialogue during multiplayer e3 demos

The Batman series lost Kevin Conroy for a while

Not really, he didn't do Arkham Origins but that was separate dev team, he's in all the Rocksteady games.

I thought they lost Mark Hamill because he just quit being the Joker in toto, but that's him in Arkham Knight (and lots since).

is this about that pirate game? they seemed pretty genuine imo. thought that was a v good demo

xp yeah that turned out to be a lie since he's doing the The Killing Joke adaptation as well

Hamill must be a genuinely daunting act to follow. I'm not into many voice actors but his Joker is incredible. Would be funny if the next Joker was more like the really old Batman cartoons.
Maybe Hamill's Joker will be one of these voices that everyone after does their best copy of.

That's basically what Troy Baker did for Arkham Origins, he did a decent job. But yeah, most of them just can't compare.
There was one really bad one I remember, that Rasta Joker from a short-lived animated series about ten years ago.

no i didnt see that but i heard that one featured real ppl not paid extras

Yeah, that scripted dialog in the otherwise cool-looking Ghost Recon game had me rmde hard.

I remember the same shit with the Division's scripted stage demo.

both of those are prime examples

“There are a lot of different spices that you can put in rice,” he said.

the answer, i'm coming to realize, is recognizing that you are needy and it's gonna be hard sledding for everyone so apply for everything.
