E3 2015

That time of year is almost here again. Was wondering if anyone wanted to do a chat room like we did a few years back for the conferences as that was quite a laugh. If people are interested I'll set one up.

Since cdpr said cyberpunk 2077 won't get any coverage at this year's E3 I'm not even sure if I care to watch it. Are there any exceptionally interesting games expected to be revealed?

Once again I'll tune in for the Sony conference and be done with it. I may watch Microsoft for the Tomb Raider portions, too..

Nowadays, I don't see the need to get excited for game reveals. There are so many out there I haven't even played yet, a lot of which I own n haven't even considered startin (thank you GWG!) So the idea of seeing a CG trailer or gameplay footage that I won't be able to experience for at least a year (no next gen for me) is pointless. It's almost like flicking through the Argos catalogue at 8 years old looking at all the cool shit my parents would never be able to afford (didn't stop me cutting out the pictures and pretending I actually had them though... 'twas a sad childhood)

Bethesda: Most people seem to be expecting the likes of a new Doom, Fallout and Dishonoured.
Microsoft: Obviously some CoD and Halo maybe a little Quantum Break thrown in., don't think much has been rumoured but they've said there will be a new Rare game.
EA: Mirror's Edge, Sports, Star Wars
Ubisoft: Assassins Creed and maybe a new Watch Dogs. Last few years they've always shown a big game for the first time to finish like Watch Dogs, Division and Rainbow Six.
Sony: Guess some more Uncharted 4. Don't think Sony have much else announced so that could be exciting as they need to announce stuff eventually.
Nintendo: They'll probably just show a video of Iwata in a banana outfit and show Star Fox.
Square Enix: FFXV, Kingdom Hearts 3, Tomb Raider, Deus Ex. Maybe something like a new Hitman.

I'll probably check out the new deux ex then. Hopefully they will be allowed to finish this one before releasing it.

As bizarre as it may sound, games all look the same to me these days. All polished, with no flaws etc. I loved imperfections, and down right shitty games. Dragons Blood on the Dreamcast comes to mind. Total pants across all aspects, but it had a charm. Many other examples come to mind too. All these pompous presentations get me less excited than my yearly prostate exam. Sign of age I guess.

Feels like this is the less exciting E3 event to anticipate for the last 2-3 years.

You're not the only one. These "big" revelations don't do much personally. Mostly because a trailer often doesn't reflect the actual gameplay. And some of the "charm" seemed to disappear during the previous generation when things got even more mainstream and streamlined in general. When games got increasingly more focus tested etc. That way most quirks get ironed out so you get a generic result that appeals to the biggest audience. Which in a few cases also means pandering to the lowest common denominator.

Yeah, this is probably the first time for me where I'm like "meh" about it. It's just the same old every year now aside from the odd cool announcement. It's pretty predictable nowadays.

As far as what I want to see basically just Star Fox, Deus Ex and whatever From Software is making next (Armored Core, new IP, DLC for Bloodborne, new Souls game, IP revival; whatever) aside from that? Meeeeeeeeeeh. I'm of the same mindset as Mittens nowadays, already got tons of games to play now anyway.

I'm looking forward to some Star Fox this year.

Mirror's Edge 2 would be a plus too if they have something to show for. But what i'm looking forward to the most are the indie games, they had some great ones last year and I need to jot down some names this time so I can purchase them later on the PSN for $2.

Same with Kenny, I'd like to see something of the new Mirror's Edge. I'm trying to keep expectations low, because the original has such a fond place in my memory (don't want to let nostalgia cloud my view of what might be a good game), but I still can't help being eager to see something of it anyway.

Also hoping something is actually shown of Space Hulk: Deathwing. There have been a couple trailers already, but so far nothing showing gameplay. Kind of a nut for the Warhammer 40k universe, but the games are usually strategy (usually not my genre, unless it's the Japanese kind), so I'm always interested in seeing action games based on it. And the trailers that have been shown had a pretty nice sense of style and flair to them, so I'm really eager to see the game itself.

Looking forward to the Mad Max game of course, so I hope some sort of extended walkthrough footage is shown, displaying how the game actually flows between hand-to-hand fighting, little bits of shooting, car customization, and wasteland vehicle combat.

And even though I'm not keen on the idea of it right now, I would actually like to see how the Phantom Dust remake is shaping up. Out of curiosity, more than anything. I'm not expecting much, being that it's free-to-play, likely with a million microtransactions to be made. But I'm curious to see it, either to be impressed at how much they're getting right, or to feel like I was right about how much the devs probably don't understand what made the original great. Either way, I'm just interested in seeing how it's going.

So uh... yeah.
In years past, I've personally always been a bit more eager for TGS rather than E3. I always saw E3 as the place where they show off the bloated mainstream western garbage, while TGS actually shows off the more interesting (to me personally) Japanese selection of upcoming titles.
Thing is, in recent years Japanese gaming (especially the stuff that actually gets localized and comes west) has started to turn pretty sour. Some argue that it happened long ago, but it's really only this past year or two that I'm noticing how almost everything Japanese has this ugly, uncomfortable, giant-eyed, pedo/otaku-bait sense of art design, and that doesn't appeal to me at all.
I won't try to say that Japanese gaming is dying off or anything (such a dramatic thing to say, especially since art styles and inventiveness of gameplay tends to run in cycles, just like everything else), but at the moment it appeals to me a lot less than usual.

I thought Microsoft pulled the plug on that Phantom Dust reboot? I remembering reading articles about the devs not meeting Microsoft's expectations with the budget they were given.

I doubt it will happen but I hope now is the time for the next Armored Core entry. It would be nice to see an new IP from Square Enix as well, a more traditional RPG hopefully. Level-5 was supposed to be working on something too for home consoles.

Oh yeah thought of something, I'd like a date for Persona 5's release and Gravity Rush 2 to be finally announced.
