Really Late E3 Thread

[Miniike]

So for some reason I decided to watch E3 this year, despite burns on previous years.

Bethesda
For a first conference, pretty awesome. Dishonored 2, Fallout 4, and a remake of Doom are awesome announcements. Actually looking forward to their stuff.

Microsoft
Meh. I mean, it's not horrible like previous years, but they just didn't really show that many interesting games. Although to be fair, they did actually show them, and not just talk about DRM, DLC and pre-orders, so that's a huge improvement. Halo 5 looks fine, Dark Souls III looks awesome.

Electronic Arts
*snore*
Wait, they showed games? Sorry, I must have blinked and missed them.

Ubisoft
Dear Lord the host was horrible. Also, Jason Derulo . Glorious.
Cringiness aside, there was actually some interesting games shown. Of course, the best announcement wasthe first one, but how are you gonna top that?

Sony
Sony won so hard. The Last Gaurdian. Shenmue III. A Final Fantasy 7 remake. Batman: Arkham Night. Sony KILLED it this year.

Nintendo
Starting with Star Fox? Great stuff. The new four-swords, three-player Zelda 3DS-thing looks okay too. And of course, Nintendo always has fun at their conferences, with the Muppets and all. Yeah, that happened.
Other then that, it was kind of underwhelming unfortunately. There wasn't a lot of new stuff, it was just updates. It felt more like a Nintendo direct then an E3 presentation, and that was disappointing.

I didn't watch Square Enix's conference because ew.


PC Gaming

Oh my gosh this was the longest two-and-a-half-hours of my life. Nothing happened here. NOTHING.

Well okay, the Microsoft guy coming out to announce the Windows 10 thing and Killer Instinct being released on PC was cool. That was it.

All in all though, this was a good E3. Sony won.

OK, so E3 2015 has come and gone now, so what did you all think of it?

My thoughts:

Dishonored 2!
Fallout 4!

and then what
you got nintendo having to suddenly pull shit out of their asses cus they show all of their new stuff anyway
you got EA being EA
you got ubisoft being ubisoft and forcing memes, and even though everything they had LOOKED great, you cant trust ubisoft anymore sadly
sonys shit dude who cares about anime stuff (final fantasy is absolute dog poop so's batman arkham x)
pc gaming? did that happen?
michaelsoft?

shit man the only good game that was announced at E3 was dishonored 2
otherwise the only shit to look forward to is like fallout 4 and just cause 3 and maybe some of those nintendo things

Fury X Hype

Also Xbone backwards compatibility makes a 360 emulator pretty much certain. + Xbone fallout 4 mods. Can't wait for some kid to download a 4k texture pack and fry his xbox.

Also god damn if tom clancey's The division gets downgraded anymore it'll be a twin stick pixel shooter by next e3.

gotta say tho, mario maker looks fun i hope its not full price

[ElectroYoshi]

This year's E3 just put me to sleep. Even Nintendo's presentation didn't do a whole lot for me. Most of the interesting stuff to come out of them was just updates on games they announced last year.

As far as new games go, Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, Star Fox Zero, Dark Souls 3, and Shenmue III were the only ones to really interest me. I just found the whole thing so dull. Nothing less, but certainly nothing more.

[ThatOneFox]

The new model for star fox is the ugliest thing ever.


It is 2015 you do not need to keep catering to nostalgia.

EDIT: What am I talking about, its Nintendo. That's their primary audience.

[papaya]

whats important about the above post is that street jacks it almost exclusively to foxes so if he's calling that ugly you KNOW you'vve gone wrong

More like:
Get a load of those limited dialogue options because we had to cater for the potato boxes too.

Halo 5 and Arkham Knight were the only games I really cared for out of E3.
Assassins Creed Syndicate doesn't seem like it will be my kind of game and I have no prior connections to the other games displayed.

Quite dissapointed theres nothing new in regards to the next Legend Of Zelda game for Wii U. E3 2014 had a rather short and shitty trailer, and this year, no new trailer.

Xbox one backwards compatibility is amazing /s

Not surprised the Xbox 360 emulator is slower. The fact they managed to convert the IBM Power PC chipset instructions to x86 instructions is bizarre enough. In any event, they have a full 6 months to optimize their emulator before this feature is released to public.

[ThatOneFox]

Optimisation won't fix horrible hardware.

[Sebastian Lawe]

Optimisation won't fix horrible hardware.

Said hardware still surpasses that of an Xbox 360. Theres room for software optimization.

[ThatOneFox]

Good emulation requires an insane hardware increase. My laptop surpasses the hardware of a ps2 but emulation still screws up.

EDIT: Also backwards compatibility is a bit too late. Most people who still want to play xbox 360 games will still own a 360 because of the lack of backwards compatibility until now.
