Sony/MS crossover game

Dads of War

Dads of VR

huh? HUH?

 

[jmood88]

I guess I'll just never understand what these guys want from a conference.

Are you ignoring the in-depth discussion they're having on why they aren't weeping and jumping up and down like people at other sites?

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Detroit GBeast stream is gonna happen I can feel it!

 

[therealminime]

Really liking their takes on things. Agree with it thoroughly.

Same here.

I'm with Alex. I was just kind of sitting there going "ok" the whole time. Solid stuff but... eh. Horizon looks fucking awesome though and God of War looks potentially very exciting.

 

[Twin Tails]

Until Dawn the best David Cage game.

 

[broncobuster]

Every conference topped the previous, sans the PC thing.

Sony's was almost the inverse of Microsoft's, you know. Microsoft's key points were about the Xbox platform, but was seriously lacking in games. Sony went strong on software. Nothing really about the Playstation platform. Even PS1 games on PS4 could've been interesting. Or folders. It's been three years. Give me folders.

No, I'm listening to them right now and I don't know what they want from a conference.

 

[Doop]

I don't think Giant Bomb are downers, and I honestly don't get the sentiment. I like the way that they can separate themselves from the usual hype cycle and look at things from a critical eye. I don't always agree with them, but I always understand what they have to say, and I almost never think they're unreasonable.

 

[No_Style]

Jeff's explanation of MGS.... lol

 

[Curufinwe]

I thought it was a really good conference; they seemed to as well, until it ended. They're kind of bumming me out.

Especially saying there should have been more PR talk. What is even happening?

They've finally disappeared up their own assholes.

 

[Salarians]

Yeah, I thought Sony's conference was lacking. Horizon and Kojima were the only things to excite me.

I'm ambivalent to most of the games but I thought Microsoft's conference was structured and presented much better.

 

[BurgerDicks]

Giant Bomb is such a downer, geez

Realistic expectations are better than hype trash. Please Preorder today.

 

[doby]

Giant Bomb is such a downer, geez

Yep, came off the back off the conference pretty hyped but now I'm reaching for the anti depressants.

 

[The Dear Leader]

A WEED3 full of bangers, it's been good, except EA that one was mostly boring.

 

[Kaizer]

Loving Jeff's explanation of Metal Gear Solid LMAO

 

[Glass Shark]

oh my god we need Brad gifs stat

 

[nubbe]

Giant Bomb is such a downer, geez

old people arguing from experience and not falling for hype shit

 

[Paches]

Best conference because a new season of Powers wasn't featured.

 

[Xeteh]

They've finally disappeared up their own assholes.

Yeah, fuck people who want information on things!

 

[Robaperas]

Giant Bomb is such a downer, geez

Not really, they always provide the best value.

 

[SeanR1221]

No, I'm listening to them right now and I don't know what they want from a conference.

They're having a level headed discussion. It's appreciated when most websites just say OHMMMMMMMGGGG hype train!

 

[Laurentius]

[V-Faction]

That side shot of Vinny, Alex, and Brad omg

 

[No_Style]

Brad is always the only one who can't keep it together during these bits.

Bless Austin for starting this whole "let's write on the chalkboard" thing

 

[Intheflorsh]

No, I'm listening to them right now and I don't know what they want from a conference.

It's very simple. Conferences are ultimately just a glorified way of releasing a few trailers and announcing new games.

They wanted to see games that interested them more.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

No, I'm listening to them right now and I don't know what they want from a conference.

Are you being dense on purpose then? It's easy to explain - when your conference is just a bunch of highlight reels, you have no time to explain anything about RE7 or Spider-Man or Batman Akrham VR or the Kojima thing

 

[Johndoey]

Jeff, please keep going. I want to listen to Jeff explain Metal Gear for the next 5 hours.

That should be a premium feature.

 

[VeryGooster]

Alex with dem tickets to the gun show

 

[LifEndz]

There really is no compelling way to show VR without putting on the headset and trying it out. The Giantbomb guys know that, which makes this criticism of the VR portion kinda weird.

Isn't that what the E3 meetings are for?

 

[LurkerPrime]

Forgot about Detroit, which I thought looked great. I'd love to play it. I'm a bit of a sucker for narrative adventure games, so I imagine David Cage's games are right up my alley.

So did I.

I learned more. It's not the game that trailer is selling.

Aww, that's not inspiring.

 

[M_A_C]

Are they gonna do the "HAve people over and drink" thing again?

EDIT: GUESS NOT

 

[lowhighkang_LHK]

Tbh nothing that Sony showed looked amazing.

Ummm...Wut?

Days End
Re7
Horizon
FF15
The Last Guardian
God of War
Spider Man by insomniac

 

[Salarians]

"What other things do dads have?"

"Axes"

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Someone stop Dan.

 

[Intheflorsh]

Detroit GBeast stream is gonna happen I can feel it!

Can't wait! Their Until Dawn stream was fantastic, as is that game.

 

[kingocfs]

God of War and RE look totally rebooted. How do those games belong on the list?

Did they, though? Guys on the stream knew it was RE before the logo, it looks like a RE game. God of War looked cool but it's still fuckin' Kratos kicking ass.

 

[DeadManWalking]

Listening to Austin and Alex in the whole VR talk bit was painful.

 

[loki 16]

Kojima pitch meeting lol

 

[Trail Guide]

This thread is amazing. In 24 hours we go from the joys of

to "Giant Bomb is so jaded and hates everything!". I think this thread has bipolar disorder.

 

[PaulCRose]

Isn't that what the E3 meetings are for?

What are they for?

 

[LucidMomentum]

What a time to pause...

 

[Drunkensamurai]

Giant Bomb is such a downer, geez

They should get some weed and lighten up a bit. Or maybe thats tomorrow night.

 

[Brinbe]

great visual breakdown

 

[Navid]

My rankings of the press conferences:

Sony stand out titles: God of War 4, Horizon Zero Dawn, Resident Evil 7, Detroit.
Microsoft stand out titles: Forza Horizon, Sea of Thieves, Indie Stuff (Cuphead/Inside/We Happy Few).
Bethesda stand out titles: Dishonored, Quake, Prey.
Ubisoft stand out titles: Ghost Recon Wildlands, For Honor, Steep.
Electronic Arts stand out titles: Titanfall 2, Battlefield 1.

 

[Death Metalist]

Ubisoft's show was better than this one.

I find that really hard to believe. Hell, Bethesda's was better then that snooze fest. The pace was fucked, using so much of the time to talk, talk and talk.

 

[Curufinwe]

Ubisoft's show was stupidly long, and none of the information or the jokes were particularly worth hearing.

There really is no compelling way to show VR without putting on the headset and trying it out. The Giantbomb guys know that, which makes this criticism of the VR portion kinda weird.

Not just weird, dishonest.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

What a time to pause...

Mine lagged right there too

 

[Kard8p3]

so wait is giant bomb not doing the late night shit where they hang out with other people anymore?

 

[TraBuch]

What are they for?

Getting in-depth looks at new games?
