Topic: E3 2021 Discussion Thread

I speak abit of Portuguese and this is saying "Wake up, Link! You have an epic week ahead of you!". Clearly building up hype for Tri-Force Heroes HD at E3!

But only in Portugal, @jump ....

@BruceCM I'd definitely say they're pretty user friendly these days, but at the same time, I do feel like there's a nice simplicity to just turning on a console, starting a game up, and not having to mess around with any potential control settings or drivers or anything like that. Not that it's a complete hassle on PC, but there is the occasional game that can be a bit of a pain to set up properly or that doesn't like to cooperate. PC absolutely has its advantages though; I personally think all platforms have their strengths, which is why I've always been spread across Nintendo, PlayStation, and PC (Not that I think Xbox is bad, it just kind of feels redundant to me when PC gets all of the few major Xbox releases I'd be interested in anyway).

@BruceCM True Link must love the Portuguese lifestyle where they breed superior athletes like Ronaldo, has it's famous port wine and glorious weather all year round. I'm not shocked he'd want to avoid the UK and America! ;p

Oh, yeah, @VIIIAxel .... But particularly now some previously PS exclusives have started coming to PC, there's less reason for me to get one! Problem is I had to 1st choose the overall best, so once I got a reasonable PC setup, that covers the vast majority of stuff
So, it'd be the fully PS exclusive stuff I'd look at & there's some games there but nowhere near enough to justify getting a PS5 to play them! & obviously XBox don't mind if you play their games on Windows PCs, so all the 1st party stuff comes to both, usually simultaneously

@BruceCM @VIIIAxel
I'm definitely more of a Nintendo gamer than anything else. With very rare and occasional exceptions I've been either on some Nintendo console or PC my whole life.

But even then... I have more games unplayed on Steam than I've brought on all of those Nintendo consoles. That's including Virtual Console, WiiWare etc. And between games like Civilisation, Overwatch, Cities Skylines, Age of Empires, C&C I've possibly spent more time playing games on PC.

Nothing beats Zelda or Mario but, and I'll always gravitate towards a portable console if it's an option

Jack from FF Origin and Chaos from Sonic Adventure as the final 2 Smash characters

@BruceCM
I still choose PS4 / PS5 over than PC for easy way to play.
Just insert the disc then play, without getting frustrated by installation and hardware compatibility.

@Grumblevolcano Pretty counterproductive don't you think? They'd just kill each other before there's any chance for Sakurai to show them off...

Well I hope you have a blast with Skyward Sword HD because on paper the motion controls should be improved for the Joy-Cons. I'm reminded of the "can it run Crysis" BS that shook the PC world back then, that the console ecosystem's never had this problem speaks about compatibility and user-friendliness. Nailed it with performance over portability, but games with simpler graphics like... most indie games out there, Switch is the home for them. For me at least!

@jump SO they were doomed all along! They will be missed.

@GrailUK or just until Link saves the day/direct ;p

@jump Erm...yes...yes...that's what I meant...

LRG and Capcom today.

If LRG doesn't close out their show with Doom Eternal physical I fear my mind might go someplace dark.

The Take Two showcase is up in 45 minutes, I'd love to see some classic GTA games!

@Magician I am actually afraid of LRG show. Are those 25 games by the end of the year or ? I might consider selling some of my organs

There's also Verizon but it's just them talking about their 5G network, not even a cloud gaming service.

Just to be pedantic Take Two's thing isn't a showcase, it's a panel so they may shows games or they may just be talking.

@Slowdive yeah, there were rumours about a GTA 3D trilogy a while back, GTA 3 + Vice City + San Andreas...all three remastered on the switch wpuld be great!
