Topic: All-Encompassing E3 2018 Thread

Huge news from Square-Enix! Octopath has 8 main characters - and the Tomb Raider, Kingdom Hears and Just Cause games are all exactly as you remember them from yesterday! WORTHHHHH IT!

@Aozz101x
I lost my hype about KH 3.
Still same mysterious guys that knew secrets and everything about Sora.
Looks like an Arrogant people suddenly appear to tell you that know nothing but they knew everything and you were very pathetic to be naive.
I'm tired with that KH Plot storyline.
Maybe KH 1.5 & 2.5 were my LAST KH games to play.

@Anti-Matter EA Sports being EA sports (chasing dat money), Star War Jedi thingy gets announced by a dude sitting at the crowd with not even a logo, Command and Conquer gets revived...as a mobile game and gets an extended demo with a shoutcast, and anthem is looking more depressing as time goes on. Oh and EA donates to charity saying that we value the mone (ahem)players and restict (sorry my throat) value player experience.

@Captain_Toad
So, basically No More cutesy games from EA such as My Sims / Littlest Pet Shop ?
Ah, well....
I can moving on from EA if they keep ruining The Sims 4.

This should be the wikipedia entry for the plot of the series so far

Hmm, I'm curious about the new Pstar game but honestly after scalebound...if Nintendo doesnt fund it I'm only 60% certain the game will come out.

Tomb raider looks great. I really wish squenix had at least said something about DQXI for switch...at this rate im importing the 3ds version.

Square happened. Not sure why, but it was a thing. No Avengers and no Final Fantasy, I expected at least one of them. They ended on the same Kingdom Hearts trailer... Babylon's Fall looked interesting though, and they had another new IP. I completely forgot about the Tomb Raider demo, that looked pretty good too!

@GrailUK @Grumblevolcano They had 15 minute demos on stage before. So if it's four of them, like a 3-minute story trailer followed by a 10/15 minute demo, plus a bit of developer babble, that should fill an hour easily. But I've heard they're also announcing other stuff. Not getting my hopes up though!

@ThanosReXXX All those third party games shown at Microsoft will also be on PS4, and they just got another two console exclusives from Square Enix. I guess they can take a year off? It's definitely weird. I mean, they even shafted Dreams, Days Gone, Concrete Genie for their four big games. It seems they have a lot of faith in those four games. We shall see!

@Ryu_Niiyama Nier Automata happened under Square, Babylon will be fine I think. As long as Square is funding it and Platinum is developing it, it shouldn't be an issue

This year’s E3 is less about ‘A game you didn’t expect- surprise!’ it’s more ‘The game you expected isn’t here. Surprise.’

And that’s pretty much how the Information Age is these days. :/

Shadow of the Tomb Raider was the highlight for me of the Square Enix conference.

@Dezzy
I swear if after KH 3, Tetsuya Nomura is still plans for KH 4 or whatever it called, I'm DONE with Kingdom Hearts.
I mean, Come On...!
Until when they will keep the Real Secret about Organization XIII and about Heartless existence ?
The storyline for me looks like Soap Opera with Nonsense plot & twist.

@Anti-Matter i'm more interested in those two than KHIII tbh, but thanks for the info!

@Octane Yeah... true. Really the only option. Just wait and see. But for now, I'm gearing up for Ubisoft. They will probably not disappoint (too much). Can't be worse than EA, though, so it's probably going to be good either way...

@Aozz101x
I saw a Mysterioys guy suddenly appear in front of Sora (When he was in Monster Inc city) by pointing his Keyblade.
Looks like same Blah Blah Blah you lost your memories, you know nothing, everything about Organization XIII was still Unclear.
Why the heck some of them Revived after being beaten on KH 2 ??

@ThanosReXXX For sure the X is worth it to a lot of people, especially after that conference. I'm not someone who cares enough about graphics and performance to put that above games like God of War and The Last of Us, but for those who don't care that much about those games, then the X is undoubtedly the better option.

I wouldn't say Sony really has to bring it as of right now, because they've basically won this entire generation and can just cruise on to the next one, especially since the lineup they have is plenty strong, but they do need to make sure they have a strong start with the PS5 for sure.

Hmmm what are the odds FF7 will have been saved for Sony?

It seems weird they're not showing it. They showed FF15 trailers when it was still like 2 years away from release.

@KirbyTheVampire MS has done a good job positioning themselves though. Sony is all about selling a box to play that catalog of exclusives on. You can't not have one if you're a Real Gamer(TM) (well Thanos can but that's Thanos ) . Too many great games you'd miss. And yet, virtually every single other non-exclusive game is better on the X. Which makes up most of the library on either console. there's a huge audience that can easily get in the boat with MS for most of their play.

I still say the S is a hard sell though. If you want a PC like experience for $450 (this week's price) there's the X. If you want that yummy Sony library, you can get a PS and play the X's games a little less pretty. And if you care about neither...there's the S? I mean if you don't need it to be pretty why not get the PS? (However, I'll point out that compared to the PS basic, the 1X makes the same games look quite astonishingly different...though I haven't compared the same games on the Pro.)

@Dezzy I get this feeling FF7 is spiraling out of control. It was a "fans want this" project Square didn't want to do. Then they did it, and what they showed then fans were afraid they were breaking it. Then they said it's an episodic game. By the time it comes out they'll just rename it FF8.

@MrGawain It's like watching The Last Jedi again! (ducks to avoid the backlash.)
