Ubisoft's greatest strength was and will always be that they aren't afraid to be weird. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't but I 100% prefer it to EA's boring presentations.
Edit: DAYUM Alex got OWNED HARD on Twitter, son!

Sony will announce it at their conference. They'll also announce Prey 2. The original Prey 2. It'll be released before the new Prey 2, Prey. And inexplicably announce Thrill Kill will be available as a PS Classic.

I'm just worried it will go the route of Ryse and all the combat will just feel empty. Which isn't terrible, if there's a good story to go along with it, I suppose.

I know we were getting shit on for saying anything in the livestream chat, but I disagree about the last season of South Park being great. I think it was maybe even a top 5 season.
Prey 2 Kickstarter
Everytime someone uses "triggered" in reference to someone who doesn't like the thing they like I know they're a really cool person with good arguments.
For a new peripheral they're dropping during the holiday shopping season? I bet half the show is gonna be VR. If not then they're going to have a separate, dedicated VR event.
Didn't they all like Stick of Truth? Why the turn?

You can also throw in PC culture and SJW for words/phrases that make me instantly ignore your argument.
We're all judging one another. For Honor reminds me too much of UC4's final encounter mixed with Dynasty Warriors.

Did that PC gaming extravaganza thing happen already?

I don't think I've laughed as hard in the last while as the southern guy on multiplayer Jeff was doing during Cocaine: The Game.

It was a bad demonstration. There was like, thirty seconds of actual gameplay and the rest of the clip was Matt and Trey doing bad jokes (followed by explaining the bad jokes) and scenes out of the start of the game.

They all liked the FFXV demo too before being bummed about the one today. Just some bad demos happening at E3.

Yeah, this press conference actually made me gain more respect for Ubi as a company.

I'm way late to the party, and just watching the Xbox conference. I find it kind of fuinny that Vinny is wondering what HDR means when the reason is right behind them:
(clamped highlighted for emphasis)
HDR basically means that the video can have a far wider colour gamut. This doesn't just mean "you can have whites that are really bright", it mostly means that the colours just look more vivid. In this example, the bright light behind Jeff actually gets clamped twice across the gradient: there's a band where Blue has maxed out to 1.0f (255), and there's another band where Green also maxes out to 1.0f. On HDR video, and on an HDR display, the blue light wouldn't devolve into a bright teal: it would stay as a very deep, but very bright, blue. I don't think HDR video and displays are exactly the best thing since sliced bread; I think higher framerates and higher video are more valuable and meaningful, but it makes a pretty nice difference in a lot of cases. The way that GB lights their sets would actually look pretty great with that setup.
(re ""you can have whites that are really bright", in some rare cases of shoddy balancing, it does; the Zach Snyder approved re-grading of this scene from Man of Steel was set up so that those flashes were practically blinding, which gave me just one more reason to never give his movies the time of day anymore)

Thanks for the explanation, I didn't know what that was!

I look forward to Austin's impression about Phantom Dust coming to XBox Play Anywhere.

I think we happy few was the most impressive thing I saw in todays conferences. Unfortunately none of the gameplay I've seen of it appeals to me.

Okay so I was at work all day and here are my thoughts on the announcements I managed to catch:
-Customizable xbox controllers are cool!
-MS commitment to PC gaming moving forward actually seems like it's going to be real now. They made it seem like every first party game moving forward will be on both platforms. Now give the PC gamers the options they want and don't screw it up!
-The division DLC seems...whatever.
-Scorpio sounds ridiculously powerful, but you have to think that by the time it launches, PC 4k gaming will be more accessible for around whatever price they launch at. I can't imagine the economics working out any other way.
-I have to watch trailers and stuff, what's worth checking out?

I saw a "rider meet horse, horse meet rider" already, but not this one!
Yikes. SoT was surprisingly great. But I did wonder if the change of studios was going to hurt.
Another fine CBS property has an excellent article explaining HDR for TVs and why you should care - http://www.cnet.com/news/what-is-hdr-for-tvs-and-why-should-you-care/

The E3 and other demonstrations for Stick of Truth weren't great either.
I have had some eerie auto-completes and search results that lead to the exact obscure thing I was looking for before.
