Oh, I'm happy to eat them, the more the merrier.
Don't go anywhere Wapplew, I'd miss the entertainment. Who else is going to claim a mid-cycle upgrade will lead to the death of PlayStation, and then when Microsoft announces theirs claim it will be the saviour of Xbox?
 
Well, In February i asked if we would see anything this year and I was pretty much told not to hold my breath. It's possible things couldve changed since then, but i'd still but it firmly in the very unlikely camp.

But FWIW: That Aztec/Mayan rumor people keep spreading is at odds with what I've been told about the new IP. So I'd put that in the BS camp.

I have a hard time believe the Atzec rumor.. What type of setting have you been told?

Can't tell you guys, but i can gaurentee that it's not that. I guess i can drop a hint and say that it would be a different continent entirely. Where that might be is up to you guys to speculate.
 
Will spike reveal himself!!
Or the better protagonist Kei and yumi
Not you jimmy you stay home

Actually, before i get myself into trouble, i should be more specific and say it's major inspirations would come from a different continent entirely. These games, Dark Souls especially have a tendency to incorporate influences from many cultures or influences.

And the way i was told about it was "the setting for that is probably closer to (put setting here)"

Aztec? heh
 
I think people that arent invested already with Xbox One will not care much about scorpio by itself. It would need to have new, exclusive games and personally for me since Microsoft is all in on GaaS the scorpio is already DOA for me.
Yeah if it's just the usual suspects for their first party games I doubt I"ll care about Scorpio. Having the most powerful console is neat and all but it's about the games for me. PlayStation's getting stuff like Spider-Man and Death Stranding and new hardware for MS doesn't change that.

Diehard Xbox fans are sprinting towards the Scorpio.

Still doesn't change the lack of a Japanese presence and exclusive games I'm interested in.

I'm not ignoring the Scorpio though. Hopefully MS can impress me still.
 
I mean, it's still not that, but in the off chance that there is an Aztec inspired level or something like that I don't want people to come after me. Im not aware of any such level in the game, but i know for sure that what I've been told isn't that.
Watch it be a time travel game or something :p
One more thing, will we be able to play this on PC or is it being developed with SIEJ again?

Anthem was supposed to be the chosen one...
And before that Fortnite (both confirmed Multiplat, obviously).

Next, they'll probably pin for MS to sign up Cyberpunk as exclusive, and some are quite excited by that PC/ XB1 Square Amazon Italy listing.

Fun times :)

Now, if beside hype you look objectively at what's been announced/ leaked (I don't consider the SotC remake a leak, it seems silly, but who knows?)

- Anthem not exclusive, even temporary
- Battlefront 2 looks amazing
- MH World leaked, most likely at the very least on PS4
- KH 3 trailer shown with a PS4 logo (temp exclusive? #shrug,)
- Fifa 18 big PS come back

I'd say at least so far it's all good on Playstation, though comparatively the hype has been reigned in by Sony marketing it seems.

Man I miss Sunhi.. where is he with his awesome gifs?

Hey, Spencer visited Japan months ago, just watch MH World debut timed exclusive on Scorpio and Deep Down timed exclusive on Scorpio with 4k 120fps because why not.

Trying to think like Miyazaki... Middle Ages and Black Death could work.
 
A lot will change in 24 hrs. Wait till tomorrow and come back.

Exactly.

I'm ready for one camp to have over-hyped themselves for a conference that won't deliver to their insane and wishful expectations and the other camp to have managed their expectations for a conference that will over-deliver.

I think the conversation will be opposite of what it is now come monday night.

Wasn't given any information on:
-platform
-story
-specific gameplay details
.
I guess what i was told was more akin to a pitch for a game if it was told by a Souls game NPC lol. I only know the broadest of strokes.

Don't worry, being vague and noncommittal on everything you're sharing will already be enough for folks to burn you at the stake.

Lol.

Xbox has virtually no Japanese presence and as a guy who loves Japanese games and his western 3rd party games.... PS4 offers both. Best of both worlds.

But even ignoring the Japanese aspect, Xbox gotta up their 1st party like crazy.

Don't want to beat the dead horse, but Scalebound reveal was pretty crazy to see, a Japanese game exclusively on Xbox.

He posts a bunch of gifs on Twitter all the time. They're great.

Like i said, I can't confirm any details like that to you guys as I've been asked not to and im not going to deny any guesses beyond saying its not aztec as eventually you guys will get it out of me eventually. Ill just say that I've been told its very much what you'd expect from Fromsoft at least from an artistic standpoint. That should be enough to satiate your hunger.

Well we have nothing better to do, so let's do this.

So confirmed to be take inspiration from Berserk manga.

I think even if the Scorpio turns out to be 599$, no new games are announced and the ones shown don't surprise, the MS thread will explode with hype.
 
Show opens with:

4 minutes of orchestra, blank screen
5 minute God of War gameplay. Isn't downgraded but people start saying it anyway because why not.
3 minutes of Shawn Layden talking about inclusive cinematic holistic experiences.
3 minutes of sales numbers. They're good but not really.
10 minutes CoD
10 minutes Destiny 2 (Activision block, so now the biggest games of the year are covered but people are unhappy about that)
30 minute live gameplay demo of Days Gone. Features include custom neck tattoo generator and M14A gun color tool.
10 minutes Wonderbook 2
20 minute indie showcase. By far the best game on display is an action RPG called "Wonderwall" and it wins Game of the Show from everyone. Posters now shitting furiously about how indie games are not really games.
5 minute speech from Shu about Monster Hunter, but no footage shown
20 minutes more of Days Gone
1 minutes of Fumito Ueda walking across the stage but not doing or saying anything

that's it

Lol we won't let Sony ever live down that Wonderbook moment huh?
 
I'll always hate the Sony conferences for the obligatory big Destiny chunk...

I wouldn't mind it but Destiny is always presented pretty poorly. I love me a good trailer/demo presentation and Sony's Destiny stuff in past years has been anything but.

Hopefully it's good this year, sorta like last years CoD demo.
