Topic: All-Encompassing E3 2018 Thread

So Fox is playable for the entire campaign and has exclusive missions.

Why do I get the sense they've done ancient Greece because it just had the same lighting engine and textures as ancient Egypt?

@Octane Chances increased. The rumor was way too specific for this to be related.

no Splinter Cell :/

That battle fighting in Assassin's Creed looks pretty awesome. That's new to the series isn't it?

@IceClimbers Two SF (spin-off) games in one year is a bit much for that franchise, isn't it?

Ubisoft killed. Excited about just about everything they showed.

Ubisoft's conference was pretty good, my new rankings are:
Microsoft
Ubisoft
Bethesda
Square Enix
EA

Maybe, just maybe we'll see Rayman in Smash tomorrow...
Ubisoft and Nintendo are literally best friends right now, so Rayman in Smash is a huge possibility.

So what franchise will Nintendo let Ubisoft run wild with next E3?

Same as mine. Ubisoft did great. I expect Sony and Nintendo will usurp that position though.

@Vee_Flames Dependent on how recent Smash goes this time, Rabbid Peach may be more likely for Smash. Like lots of people are expecting Rex & Pyra and XC2 is a really recent game, I'm undecided since Inklings are a Wii U era character so maybe Elma from XCX will come instead.

A bit disappointed that Child of Light 2 or a new Rayman weren't announced, but I'm still happy with what Ubi showed. Trials will be a ton of fun on Switch, and Starlink is looking way better than I initially gave it credit for. And that Starfox crossover tho

For me right now it's

Ubisoft
Microsoft
Bethesda
Limited Run
EA

I think Ubi did much better than all the others just in terms of games I personally want. Looking forward to the last 2! No Splinter Cell was a bit of a shocker, thought that was a lock

@redd214 True, but I also remembered that, since I already stated that Nintendo was the anomaly, and Sony isn't Nintendo, so they simply won't be able to achieve that. They have never done so, and they never will. Neither does Microsoft, by the way...

@NEStalgia Ah, okay. My bad, then. Sorry for misunderstanding. Boy, that Ubisoft show was pretty decent, wasn't it? Except for the obligatory Just Dance part, they certainly showed some interesting stuff.

AC Odyssey was beautiful, and the setting is probably one of my most favorite ones ever.

And if the next Xbox is going to be called the XBox Threeie, then it's probably going to come bundled with a Banjo controller...

@Octane Neither of them are spinoffs from what I've heard. This one is just an inclusion/collaboration with a different game, the other is supposedly Retro's interpretation of what Star Fox should be.

@Grumblevolcano Well, I hate repeating myself, but once again, completely agreed with your ranking.
Ubisoft had a great show. Lots of good stuff. I really hope that the rest of E3 isn't going to be all downhill from here...

@Grumblevolcano I think when it comes to who gets to be playable in Smash, Sakurai has all the say. Regardless of whether the character is recent or old, if Sakurai can't get the character a good moveset, then the character isn't happening.

With that said, I still think Rayman might have a good chance, more-so now than ever due to Ubisoft and Nintendo's healthy relationship. Rabbid Peach may indeed (or not) get into the roster, but I see her as an assist trophy of sorts rather than an actual playable character.

Regardless of what happens, I'm just going to hope and pray that Professor Layton gets into Smash. If he did, that would make my whole year!

So pumped to see Last of Us 2 gameplay.

Ghost of Tsushima might be pretty cool too.

So Yakuza 0, Yakuza Kiwami, and VC4 are coming to PC!
