If I recall, David Jaffe said he wanted GOW II (which Barlog directed) to end with a portal opening up revealing other gods. Then in three, after he kills them all (Egyptian, Norse, etc.), it ends on a cutscene of the three wise men riding towards Bethlehem to visit a baby Jesus.

The game Christians have all been waiting for - a AAA Jesus game.

I don't know if I'd call it teasing so much as them just paying homage to their roots. Desperation from gamers is what drives the conspiracy more than anything Sony has said or done.

Is that so? The only that's missing from those ads is well, Crash.

That was all for GoW3. He said that the opening of GoW3 would be Kratos killing Zeus, which would leave the player thinking "Holy shit, what am I supposed to do next", then a portal would open that would have all of the other mythologies pouring out of it. He gave an example of one boss fight that would involve Kratos using Medusa's head to freeze the creature and that would go on to be the Sphinx. He also wanted all three games to just be called "God of War" and have marketing figure out how to get people to understand that 2 was 2 and 3 was 3 without the numbers being there.
 
Has Level 5 commented again on their E3 announcement recently as in this year? I hope they stick to their word and show up, it's one of the things I'm looking forward to.

Also, 2 weeks left and no leaks, that means we're off to either an extremely dull or extremely epic E3 this year, hopefully the latter. Please no leaks!! xD

Also, SE France has been commenting on KH stuff lately....can we call that a subtle tease for E3? =P

SE will probably stop by Sony's event with one game (or two), I hope they go with a XV teaser for that event and the rest for their own.
 
Hmmm, pitting Kratos against Jesus Christ - that's one way to commit commercial suicide.

It probably wouldn't sell worse than Ascension though.

I don't mind the idea of switching mythology, however I think they should completely ditch Kratos and the greek mythology then. The idea that Greek Gods and Egyptian, Norse etc. exist alongside never really worked for me.
Like, how can multiple gods be responsible for the afterlife? Or responsible for the rising, setting sun?

Well, someone needs to take control of those things now that everyone is dead.

No. It would have ended there. Kratos' story would've been completed. But as someone pointed out, that would've been the story of GOWIII. It would have started with Kratos killing Zeus. There would be no Kratos vs. Jesus. Jaffe's vision would essentially have Kratos wiping out most of the polytheistic gods.

Well, this is Sony. They leak like a saturated adult diaper. If there are no leaks, it's likely that's because there's nothing to leak.

To be fair, Street Fighter V's leak was just a mess up on the part of the uploader for the trailer. Without that happening it wasn't going to leak.

Well right, but how many leaks are intentional? It just seems that Sony can't win when it comes to keeping secrets. I'd love to be wrong. Show me The Last Guardian PS4, Crash Bandicoot PS4, TLoU 2, and both Elder Scrolls VI and Fallout 4 as PS4 exclusives.

But somehow I get the feeling we'll all be underwhelmed with what Sony has on tap.*

What is going on with The Witness? The creator is taking really long to complete this game, at this point I'm half expecting it to be $30 or more. :/
Click to expand...

It's a 2015 game as of now. But it's also completely independent, which means that it'll release whenever Blow is ready to release it. So that date could move to 2016. They did release some new screens earlier this month

Imagine being stuck at the first boss, no matter how many times you pressed circle because the game glitched..

Phil Spencer has refers to first party as games he publishes including partner games they don't own (Sunset Overdrive, Alan Wake, Ryse) so when he says "1st party" - and I've seen this mentioned in a few threads, he is referring to anything they have published directly with the developer, as the best definition I've got.
When MS say they have big 1st party presence at E3, I don't think he is specifically referring to internal studios (although they will be showing stuff) and people should probably set their expectations accordingly for that.

2nd party is stuff like Dead Rising 3 (and possibly Tomb Raider) which he published from a third party. Not sure where Titanfall stands in all this, EA published it so I guess its just a briefcase of money exclusive.

My personal definition is who owns it. Microsoft own Ori and State of Decay, its on the platforms they allow because they own it and won't be on competitors platforms, so its 1st party even though Moon and Undead Labs aren't owned by MS.

2nd party, Insomniac/SO, Crytek/Ryse, MS published it but don't own the game or studio.

3rd party, where they paid a publisher for exclusivity whether its full or timed, whatever.
Click to expand...

I'd consider any game that's funded, overseen and published by a first party publisher to be first party. So Sunset Overdrive, Ryse, Mass Effect 1, etc. are/were all first party games.

Second party is just a made up term to differentiate between internally and externally developed first party games.

Dead Rising 3 and Tomb Raider, on the other hand, are third party. Capcom and Square Enix, respectively, still own and oversaw those games, Microsoft just helped provide some funding. They're the third wheel, or a kickstarter backer who gets their name in the credits.

Right, so they can only be focused if the title is pure 1st party. Doesn't matter if they release solid IP that they own like State of Decay and Ori. Who wants those games
Click to expand...

And somehow those two games show more focus than MLB, Bloodborne, Helldivers, The Order, and LBP3 in the same amount of time? This narrative is getting boring. If you feel as if Sony has failed on the first party front, then talk about that. But you can't believe it and then turn around and say Microsoft is knocking it out of the park if they've quantifable and qualitatively done worse.

Truth be told, it doesn't even really bother me the 1st/2nd distinction but a lot of people like to make a point of IP ownership (although the only game I can think of that went to PS3 in the 360 era was Mass Effect because EA bought Bioware) so that was my thinking plus Phil has his own ideas and descriptors, which will directly impact how he sees announcements at E3

Yeah, I really don't see the point of differentiating games based on IP ownership. Mass Effect 1's a rare anomaly in that EA seemed to come to an agreement with Microsoft over the publishing rights to that game, so that they could do whatever they wanted with it. Most other times, you might see a former first party franchise go third party (Crash and Spyro are two infamous ones) but the first party still retains the publishing rights to the old games, so they stay exclusive (just like Crash 1-3, CTR and Spyro 1-3).
 
I think this is the first time I'm not excited about a Sony conference, which feels weird. All I'm hoping for are these things to happen at E3:

Sony
  • Guerilla Games announces Horizon
  • Sony re-reveals The Last Guardian
  • Release date for No Man's Sky
  • New glimpses of Rime and The Witness

Nintendo
  • Animal Crossing for Wii U
  • More Nintendo 3DS games

Square Enix
  • New Hitman announcement
  • Final Fantasy XII HD Remastered announced

Bethesda
  • Doom demonstration
  • Announcement of Fallout 4

Other things
  • Gameplay look at FIFA 16 and PES 2016
  • Gameplay and release date for Persona 5
  • Rare project

I think all of these are likely to happen. And this is basically what I want the most

Not excited, but predicting Last Guardian...

WHAT KIND OF MADNESS HAS TAKEN YOU, GAF?!
 
It's weird to be excited about a reveal of The Last Guardian, when I haven't even progressed further than the 2nd colossus in Shadows of the Colossus. I loved Ico.

Besides TLG, I like this list. I hope we might even get a No Man's Sky beta too. Give me a Galak-Z release date and I'll be a happy man.
 
My biggest fear this year is that Microsoft and Sony will spend too much time talking about Hololens and Morpheus respectively. Yes, I know VR is probably going to be the next big frontier for gaming, but I am more interested in learning about what is next for the console gaming space.

If Sony show full VR games, it will be megatonage, but MS can't do the same with Hololens so should probably minimise it - but ofc won't.

I think Sony will leave the Morpheus talk until PSX.

HoloLens is its completely own thing and something different than VR. They might announce VR glasses, but I doubt we'll see HoloLens.

The majority of the time both will talk about stuff you can do with the hardware you already own.
 
I wonder when the crate images will start popping up. Probably starting as early as June 12 (Friday). I wonder... will the bear return?

Really excited to be washed over with a tidal wave of Halo and Starwars.

Sony conference should be really interesting, as I expect ALOT of new things, ip's and such to be unveiled. The market share is so far in their favor I'm betting they are getting aaa deals left and right, allowing them to drop a few megaton bombs.

MS has massive hype with what they've unveiled already. Great year for E3 lovin
