What happened?
The Agents of Mayhem trailer didn't do much for me, except for the boss lady at the end. I'd like to know more about her.
I'm kinda hoping you're wrong so that Emcee has a reason to rename the thread again.

I'm not trying to troll here, but did anyone even want another Watch Dogs? It seemed like one of the most flat new IPs I've seen in a while.

So today we got a new trailer for Horizon and Yooka-Laylee, a Watch-Dogs Teaser with a full reveal in 2 days and the announcement of Saint Battlerows.
Is everybody just going to show all their games a week before E3 now? Is this right now the actual E3?
The game sold at least 10 million copies.

It sold really well, so they`re gonna make another one.
And I think the IP has potential.

I guess I'm just getting tired of the Ubisoft open world formula. At least they're taking a break with AC.
Probably a lot of people.

I'd take a new Dead Rising.

I'd like a game with watch dog's concepts, just not made by ubisoft.
Yeah, Watch Dogs still has potential. I enjoyed most of the on-foot parts of it as well as doing some of the side activities. Put a bullet in Aidan Pearce's head or at least acknowledge that he is basically The Punisher with a cell phone and they'd be off to a good start.
Though if we had get another stealth-shooter out of Ubisoft I would 100% prefer that they iterate on Splinter Cell Blacklist.

If it were any other company I'd agree with you, but we know it's just going to be another iterative, samey open world game out of UbiSoft.

I really enjoyed the combat in Watch Dogs but everything around that was terrible.
It could be really cool if they nail it because I could dick around being a hack ghost forever.

Watch Dogs wasn't great but there's at least a kernel of a reasonably fun idea there. I had fun jumping between cameras and detonating/electrifying dudes before a firefight.

They should make a game out of that, that was the only part about W_D I enjoyed.

Having a hack button is cool in Syndicate. Watch_dogs should go wild with its hack button. Literally hack the world.
I was about to say, unironically, to use it as a streaming box for your Neo games. But that doesn't make any sense.

I constantly forget DR3 exists.

Like I didn't think it was possible, but I think ubisoft alone has killed all of my enthusiasm for open world games.

Because everybody now does what Ubisoft does. Seriously, look at the new Mirror's Edge and tell me they didn't copy Ubisoft's model.

Every open world game pulls from Ubi designs, so even if you avoid their games you're still looking at their ideas.
I think I might be more excited for this than FFXV or FFVIIR pt. 1/?. 2017 though...
By some strange chance, I started replaying DR3 last week after previously hating it, and I've come around on it. It's a different beast than the previous games, and the story is garbage, but the city has a nice design to it that's fun to go from mission to mission through from combo car to on foot. I'd be happy with another in a similar style with a story that's not as throwaway.

I've played a lot of games this year, but I've yet to play one that came out in 2016. There just isn't anything that feels like a must-play to me.

I'm crestfallen over Mirror's Edge 2 and how it's told to be what if Ubisoft made Mirror's Edge.
Yes, I did. I enjoyed the first Watch Dogs and Watch Dogs 2 could be fantastic if it addresses the issues of the first game.

At least the original still exists.
me too, loved the first game. the gunplay was exceptional and hacking to make traps was fun. if they do a better story, it would be amazing.

One of the funnest and funniest co-op experiences for sure. Me and my cousin straight demolished that game in 5-6 hours excluding side missions. Really can't wait for a new one.

This is the real important news.

It's sad to see each passing Volition game move further and further away from the things that made Saints Row 2 one of my favorite games ever made.
Them being in on the joke is maybe the worst thing to happen to the series.

I typically don't buy remasters of games I already have, but I might actually get this since it is based on the international edition which I haven't played. And it would be nice to have audio that doesn't sound like it has been recorded through a tin can. Emulators can only fix so much.

I mean, I'm as surprised no indie dev tried to recreate it's gameplay...at least not well. The world and Faith I can take or leave. There's something quite like the parkour play forming of it.
DOOM happened. Hope again.

I hear dying light was good? Been waiting for a sale to dip in.
Beyond Good & Evil 2 still doesn't really exist. I have no hope left.

Saints Row is the Evil Dead of video games.
Not until there's a time traveling entry.
