Oh man that VR thing is so lame. They should have their own conf for people who cares.

 

[Hasney]

supermassive is putting in the work for VR. Inpatient looked pretty good

Yeah, digging that one. Not Bravo Team so much.

 

[Uno Venova]

I just want this block of VR to be over.

 

[Elfforkusu]

This SotC announcement has bummed me out entirely. I can't approve of this shit without Ueda's involvement.

If they change a single goddamn note of the soundtrack...

 

[Hasney]

Digging most of these VR games though. Glad to see these. That's a cute mouse!

 

[Fat4all]

Block over

Moss was good

 

[Aikidoka]

these crowd shots suuuuuuuccccckkkkkk

 

[Fat4all]

Those flying axe combos are nice

 

[munchie64]

It's a journey!

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

GoW looks amazing. The refresh it needed

 

[Joqu]

I've never been this much into a God of War game

 

[Uno Venova]

I love that they expanded on the combat compared to last years demo and it looks fantastic

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Detroit seems bigger in scope than I originally expected

I always like what Cage's games try to achieve. Still need to stick the landing on one

 

[brawly]

Huber is right, that's Minka Kelly from Saturday Night Lights.

 

[Fat4all]

blah, Destiny

 

[Rockk]

Pretty mediocre conference so far. This year's E3 reminds me a lot of 2014

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Pretty mediocre conference so far. This year's E3 reminds me a lot of 2014

8.5 for me. Pretty solid

 

[Uno Venova]

Wow only an hour?

 

[Fat4all]

common spoder

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Spiderman: Arkham City

 

[munchie64]

Heavy Arkham vibes (this is a good thing for me)

 

[Rockk]

8.5 for me. Pretty solid

I think Ubisoft's was better and I give that an 8.5. I'd rate Sony's like a 7.5 or so. About on par with Microsoft. Again, really similar to E3 2014. Where Microsoft and Sony were both meh but Nintendo's was really good except now it's Ubisoft too.

 

[Aikidoka]

That demo was pretty fantastic I think. Shame about 2018 though

 

[Tankard]

disappointed.gif

 

[sora87]

...that's it? 😕

 

[Joqu]

So uh, this was good but not nearly as good as the previous two years. I think I liked Ubisoft's more. Huh.

 

[Uno Venova]

Spiderman demo was fantastic. Great fluid fighting, and swinging traversal looked amazing.

Too many quicktime events, but I imagine that only happens in certain story missions.

 

[Hasney]

That was alright, in terms of what I actually want to play it probably had the most games and the presentation was the best, but down compared to the last 2 years on both fronts.

 

[Brainfreeze]

Spiderman is Batman Arkham plus quick-time events. Hopefully the game opens up and feels free and fluid outside of missions like that.

 

[brawly]

God of War and Spider-Man looked sick. SotC and MHW were cool. Overall alright, but no comparison to last year.

 

[The Hermit]

...that's it? 😕

I was expecting something else too

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

It's what I kind of expected. They'd show more of all the games they have in they pipeline.

Spidey looked really fun. An arkham/uncharted like showcase. That city swinging was pretty nuts.

I'm sure gaf will hate it. Hahaha

 

[EdibleExplosives]

What was shown was great, but that felt way too short.

 

[Fat4all]

It was good counting the Pre Show, but the main show was a tad flaccid.

 

[WarRock]

All my interest in Spiderman: gone

 

[TC McQueen]

Yeah, I'd say Sony was a 7/10 this year, about on par with the rest of the major players. For whatever reason, everybody's just meh this year, aside from Bethesda, who had a press conference about literally nothing, without even the crazy of Devolver Digital to bring to the table.

PC Gaming Show literally had the only stuff relevant to me, unless OG Xbox backwards compatibility comes to PC.

Not too much cringe or fuck ups though, which is a massive improvement over past years.

 

[ToonLink]

My heart stopped for a moment when SotC remake came up. That alone made it worth staying up.

 

[Ragona]

Mainly showing games that are far out has to catch up to you some day.
Next year will have more new stuff again.

 

[Auctopus]

It feels like lots of developers have either kept their head down or kept their cards close to their chest this E3. Everything is 2018.

 

[Umibozu]

6.9/10

 

[ToonLink]

And yeah GoW was the other main highlight for me. It looks fantastic.

 

[Wagram]

7/10 from me. Even Sony couldn't salvage this E3.

Positives:

God of War looks awesome.
Day's Gone showed much more, and i'm excited for it.
Horizon DLC
Continues the Games, Games, Games tradition.

Negatives:

Almost zero release dates.
Very few new announcements.
Stream issues.

So ultimately:

Ubisoft - 8.0
Microsoft - 7.5
Sony 7.0
Bethesda 4.0
EA 3.0

Disappointing E3.

 

[Joqu]

Mainly showing games that are far out has to catch up to you some day.
Next year will have more new stuff again.

Yeah, they've done it to themselves really. I'm surprised they weren't able to snag another early announcement though.

 

[Tregard]

Woof, Sony boned it. Felt shorter than usual, almost everything was a known quantity, and the stage theatrics were completely unnecessary. I don't think Days Gone needed the demo if I'm being perfectly honest.

Microsoft definitely had a better showing. I don't think Nintendo will top it tomorrow, honestly, which is quite an underwhelming place to be.

 

[Fat4all]

I have high hopes for a fast pace Nintendo Direct tomorrow.

 

[HeavenlyE]

Polygon ruined E3

 

[WarRock]

No indie reel? Or was that pre-show?

 

[IdreamofHIME]

So disappointing. 7/10
One of the worst E3s in recent memory.

Nintendo...take me to Valhalla.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

No indie reel? Or was that pre-show?

They haven't done that since changing formats last year. Which is also why a lot of their smaller games were in the one hour pre-show

 

[mishakoz]

What Sony showed was great, but I think it was lacking announcements and Indies.

8.5
