Can't believe Sony had FF7 Remake, TLG and Shenmue 3. I said damn.

All those great 2nd half 2015 Sony games!
They covered it up pretty well with amazing announcements, but that is a very serious problem.

I have zero nostalgia for ff and shenmue, but in general I'm just super jaded these days. Half the time I see new games and my reaction is "gee I wonder how this one is going to disappoint us". Despite all the "megatons" nothing I've seen thus far has gotten more excited really and I doubt the Nintendo conference will change that.
There's a HoI4 shaped hole in my heart and no amount of AAA cinematic shootbang can fill it.

Horizon looked alright those Mutes? That was essentially the only real new game announcement we got from Sony.

Which of the Sony first party games is coming out this year?
Adjusted.
Although Square will like bugger it all up and forget the W-Item glitch.
Nothing?
Which year? 2016? A few of them I think.

Do you mean Indie type games or AAA? Until Dawn is their big release that's known. Super quiet E3 for a few of their internal studios so I expect SSM stuff will come out at PSX again (also Gamescom/TGS).
July: God of War 3 remaster
August: Everybody's Gone to the Rapture & Until Dawn
Sept: Tearaway Unfolded
Oct: Uncharted NDC

Umm Uncharted Remaster, Tearaway... yeah... that's about it I think!
I don't really care personally. I like the idea of spreading stuff throughout the year, and Bloodborne already slayed me hard for 2015. I still need to pick up Witcher 3 at some stage, keep playing Splatoon, maybe Batman, almost certainly MGS, maybe Star Wars in November. Xenoblade X? No Mans Sky? Yeah I've got plenty of shit to play for the rest of the year.

I expect I'll still be trying to find enough time to finish TW3 through to the double in August >_<
Yeah, I noticed that once I caught my breath... there's basically nothing announced for this year. I guess if we're lucky we'll get No Man's Sky, but I would really struggle to see *anything* interesting come out of PS4 (or Vita) again this year.
At least Tearaway PS4 is coming soon I think.
Well, this just happened:

oh jesus.
I've got a bunch of dead Asus laptops here, various probs. Loving the new Dell XPS though, I'd get another of those in a second.
Also Asus trackpads and keyboards feel cheap.

I bought a couple of these a few weeks back. They're quite big and weighty - not suitable for pockets but OK for bags. They'll charge a 2A device (e.g. iPad) just fine, though I wish they were a bit faster with my Nexus 5, don't seem to provide a full 2A to those. Also beware of fakes, there's plenty of images around to compare legit to fake ones, and also a website to verify they're authentic.

My current laptop is a Dell XPS 17 (a model from 2011, bought in 2012), but I've had so many troubles with it - faulty chargers, broken hinges and now a wobbly charge port. It's the big reason why I'm looking for a laptop away from the Dell line.
Bummer to hear about Asus laptops having lots of problems too!
That's the 10500 one you're talking about? Yeah, the form factor of it is a bit of a pain, but I don't think it's easy at all to get something high capacity, good for the pocket that isn't at least a little cumbersome. Besides, I already have (I think) a 2400mAh battery anyway if I need a pocket one in a clutch... but it's a bitch to charge (can't do it over USB) so I rarely use it.

Yeah these are great, been using one for about a year now to charge the Vita if I forget an AC or car charger.
Good to see some people with a bit of enthusiasm for the hobby! Holy shit were Giant Bomb a downer. Brad was like "FF7? Meh. Expected. Who cares". Cheer up sunshine! Life isn't all that bad! Have some fun while also acknowledging negative aspects of something.

Yeah I'd agree with that, my old Dell XPS 17 was a real clunker, but the new 13 is really nice, aaaaalmost comparable to my MacBook in terms of build quality.

Yeah, I'm talking about the 10400mAh one. If you'll keep it in a pocket mostly, I wouldn't recommend it. Perhaps in a jacket pocket, but it will sag.
reptilescorpio
Member
Oh yeah wouldn't pocket it. Bottom of a bag or in a glove box is perfect.
Well...its clear I'm a grumpy old man. Pretty unimpressed by E3 so far. All the reliance on shooters and nostalgia for stuff I don't give a fuck about.
Though there's a few bright spots, like that yarn cat game, whatever dreams is, and I at least like the look of Horizon. And I was kind of surprised how little effort Sony went to with VR.

They rushed through a hell of a lot of games. Half their E3 booth is dedicated to Morpheus demo units apparently.
Still got Gamescom, PSX & TGS before launch next year so I expect they'll push it more, mainly at their dedicated PSX conference I bet.
Its not so much what they showed but their words. It didn't sound as they were as dedicated as I thought they would be. But yeah..I guess by the time of PSX we'll see more and have a clearer picture of where Sony sees VR in relation to everything.

In terms of resources they are on the Morpheus train hardcore! Their lineup this year is pretty spotty due to so many studios doing VR stuff. They got a lot of shit last year for doing non-games stuff during the E3 conf so they made sure to focus almost entirely on GAMES GAMES GAEMS to appease the internet peoples. Worked well enough.
I just want Unravel right meowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Ah cool, that's great to know.
Thanks!Checked it on the Dell website but it seems the 13 only has integrated graphics, which is a shame - the XPS 15 is the one with the discrete Nvidia GPU.
Holy shit, this guy:
Bolded the accurate ones from E3. Also, that Indian one mentioned could pass for Horizon?
Yeah, it'll mostly be for a bag. Anywhere I'm using my phone (or iPad) for extended periods will warrant bringing a bag with me.

I have to share this. ignore the fact the audio comes from 2006, the animation is new.

It feels as though the FFVII remake announcement came about a decade too late. How many people who played the original are even still playing console games anymore? Between having to deal with their mortgages, wives and children, when are they ever going to find the time to put 70+ hours into a console game?
Isn't that Gazunta?
Sounds accurate. I'm still excited about it but I can see this being the only bigass RPG I play for a while when it does come out.
I know I can!
I think, Just because it's 70+ hours, you don't have to play it all in 2 sittings. There's zero reason these days to take weeks, months to finish a game. Especially when you fit into the above stereotype.

will gently cradle you as time slowly ticks away.
I just had this conversation, only swapping "FFVII remake" with "Shenmue 3".
The funny thing about FFVII is that it took me around 4 months to complete it in 1998.
At least FFVII is standalone, I played Shenmue 1 and 2 and apart from driving a forklift I can't remember sweet FA about either of them and there's no easy way to replay them to hype myself up before 3 comes out.

Wait people PLAY video games? I thought we just buy them and store them in our backlogs
Nah this thing will sell fucking tons. It will be a current gen style game that also picks up the nostalgic people who hated FF13. Gangbusters. It blew up on Twitter massive today.
Shenmue 3 kickstarter is fucking flying along too. Much more interest than any other video game kickstarter so far. It'll do more than fine.
Game of E3 for me so far is Unravel. Super keen for it!
Cuts to direct feed during conf then goes back out to Geoff et al. I'll probably watch this rather than Giant Bomb this time, should be some good megatons!
This is EA published? Holy shit, I might have to hold my nose and buy an EA game at launch.
