Guessing we're not getting a food runner bit with Dan but we do get the incredible sinking Dan bit.
Exactly what I was thinking.
I could do with Demon Souls remastered.

That story about Abby seeing Brad out in the wild and being too scared to say hello is p. great. Abby is p. great.
You had one job Abby.
They could avoid all this if they just put the fucking group shot camera at eye level.

Asura's Wrath "but actually a Character Action game this time--no really trust us" would do fine in 2017
I play Demons Soul on a regular basis trying to farm Pure Bladestone which is fucking impossible.
Even if the character action stuff is really good, half the game could still be QTEs and there's been such a whiplash against overuse of them that I really can't agree.

Eh is it? I mean david cage still gets center stage.

You could just take the QTEs out and put the absurd moments into cutscenes if you still needed to have that. Or just do it like Yakuza does and lightly sprinkle it into transitions between parts of the boss fights.
It'd be cool to do that Street Fighter crossover stuff again too.
You're not wrong, but I don't think they are really going for the same thing. Cage stuff is more akin to Telltale than it is to AW.
But maybe I'm overestimating the public dislike of QTEs, then. I wouldn't mind being wrong here.
It's criminal that Asura never made it to USFIV after the crossover stuff.
They better get Pope as a guest.

Asura's Wrath also included the "shut up the monologuing bad guy" button which was pretty great.

At this stage of the competition they better bring some surprises. They need to go ALL OUT.
Ah, thank god they already did.

Where can one partake in this story?

Mmhmmm
I get it!
The Telltale comparison to David Cage games is spot on and is totally the reason why he still gets play. The interesting implementation of QTEs also goes a few steps beyond what is used is every other game with them in it. I remember how radically different most of the QTEs in Heavy Rain were because they supposedly mimicked the action on screen as opposed to just hitting 'X' at the right time.
Abby can do no wrong.
I wonder if the size of their room this year limits that? Idk, the space feels smaller than last year to me. for some reason.

The split shots seem to be closer to eye level: https://youtu.be/lBswiou9c68?t=10m18s
It's just the wide that is higher; probably due to the mess they have to endure in the setup. It still presents that problem of them looking down and away, though, which probably contributed to how bored they looked a couple years ago.
Edit: And yeah, for what it's worth occasionally Cage stuff does make fun use of QTEs, like the electric fence maze thing. But needing it for menial tasks like opening drawers and drinking OJ is funny at first, but stops feeling special really quickly.
Until Dawn is probably more modern and acceptable in that way; all of the QTEs were either explicit choices or making you hold completely still (which is a fantastic element that serves the horror genre).

I love David Cage.
The day I got one, I immediately duped that shit. Fuck grinding for multiples of those.
You should probably skip every press conference except Nintendo's.
Sony should have some Japanese games at the very least.
Sony too

I mean I'll watch them because I find the GB streams fun, but not "hyped".

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
If I don't see another Souls games for 4-5 years I'd be okay with that.
All Souls'd out. The games simply don't change enough to remain entertaining for me, I quit Bloodborne after maybe 10-15 hours

That's pretty much where I'm at ever since they announced the Scorpio. Anything lower then that and it's going to be a surprise.
Didn't Layden say there was gonna be a big Japanese announcement or something?
Let's say it is announced at $499, if Sony announces a price cut on the Pro at their conference, would the Scorpio be DOA?

I think anything higher then 399 is suicide and feel like most of the "its gonna be expensive" talk from MS executives has been a smoke screen.
399 is the price they have to hit.
I see no reason they cant hit 399 with the hardware they have already announced.
I think its gonna be 399. Also 450 and 499 skus with better HDD's or bundled pro controllers or something tho.

Either Geoff is preparing people or he's saying that so that people get a bigger reaction when the price is indeed lower than 499$

It already is regardless. They don't have the software.
