Topic: E3 2021 Discussion Thread

Capcom & Bandai Namco are on at bad times for me, so it looks like Nintendo will be the last one I watch live.

I'd rank them:

• Microsoft - 5/10 - Some good games, good pacing except FH5 (too long) and a few trailers with no meaningful info (e.g. Starfield, Outer Worlds 2), was good that it focused more on the near future (2021/2022)
• Square Enix - 4/10 - CHAOS, didn't like that the Nintendo era FF games were not coming to Switch though
• Ubisoft - 2/10 - Mario + Rabbids was the only redeeming announcement

I feel as though Capcom is probably going to overtake Microsoft just with MH Rise and MH Stories 2.

@Anti-Matter Yeah, pretty crummy thing to do.

@HotGoomba hahaha cause I typoed. I was trying to choose between a 6 and a 7 and I hit 1 somehow.

@link3710 oh ok lol

Ok so FF Origin is a prequel to FF1 but the protagonists look like they all shopped at JCPenney's or Gap

sure Nomura

@TheFrenchiestFry One of the protagonists is just Cor from FFXV but recolored..

The S-E presentation triggered me badly. FF1-FF6 Pixel Remaster for PC and mobile, no mention of a Switch port? If they aren't announced for Switch during Nintendo's presentation on Tuesday, I'll be triggered even worse. And MS just flat out won E3, 9/10, game after game after game after game...for nearly 90 minutes straight. I doubt Nintendo's presentation will be half as good (because it's half as long, lulz.)

If you're platform-agnostic and that presentation didn't sell you on Game Pass, you're either jaded or you've got an axe to grind.

@Magician doesn’t sell me on gamepass, since I don’t have an xbox, and I don’t really care for the games shown.

@Magician Guess I'm jaded then lol. I reaaaally just don't care about pretty much anything that was added to GamePass today. Either I already own the games (my BF is a huge Yakuza fan, and I've destroyed Hades so many times, and I've played or don't want to play most of Bethesda's back catalog), or... were there even any others announced?

I mean, I miiiiight consider getting it if it was on Switch, but quite frankly I don't spend enough time gaming at the TV or PC any longer to warrant it.

As for the presentation itself? Yeah, I'm more agreeing with you now. I just skimmed it again and found out that there were two fantastic looking games annoucned while I was having stream issues (Released and Shredders), and Atomic Heart could be interesting as well. Diablo II Remastered (despite me wanting to play it), Far Cry 6 (we literally spent too long on this just yesterday), Halo Infinite, Battlefield, Back4Blood, STALKER 2 (oof this game had a horrific trailer), Forza Horizons 2, Fallout 76 and the BS Starlink trailer were all things that held back an otherwise decent presentation.

Though, I guess that shows how much I dislike most of Microsofts big IPs lol. I do want to play Flight Simulator though, so there was at least one in-house game I liked!

NL should be streaming the pc game show, It has a good amount of switch games.

@Snatcher I'm just tuning in now, but Dodgeball Academia looks fantastic. Chivalry 2 has my interest. Rawmen looks like a riot, I wanna try that one (surprised it's skipping Switch). They Always Run also looks good. Orcs Must Die is an actually decent tower defense, so 3 might be good. GigaBash will probably be meh, but I really want it to be good.

Wonder if any of these are coming to Switch

EDIT: Silt looks intriguing. Tinyking looks fantastic, like Pikmin meets Katamari. Sacrifire looks really good visually, hope the gameplay matches up. The Wandering VIllage could be good.

@VoidofLight Well IF you ever get one, get Game Pass. It's an excellent deal, and even if you're a PC gamer, Game Pass is still worth a look.

@link3710
Any kiddie PC / Steam games so far ?

@Magician
I don't even like Game Pass no matter how cheap and convenient they are.
I buy the games to play and own it forever, not by renting.

I already knew these games. Definitely will get the physical release on either PS4 or Switch. 😀

Dodgeball Academia
This one looks interesting. 🙂
Dodge ball with RPG element.
The game also will be released on Switch and PS4. Hopefully physical release in the future. 🤟

@HotGoomba Eh, my PC can't run anything that a console could run, aside from like FFXIV.

@Anti-Matter Yup! Dodgeball Academia, Tinykin, Rawmen, Lumberhill, and the Wandering Village all might be up your alley. They all look really good and very E rated / non-violent.

Also on my watch list, Lakeburg Legacies and Citizen Sleeper might both be very interesting.

@link3710
Rawmen
Yo, what is this game ?
I saw some nakey nakey dudes with food themed armors and weapons. 😆

Lumberhill
Well... I need to see more gameplay first.
Still not really convinced.
I saw that game will be on Switch from the trailer I watched.

Tinykin looks like Pikmin games with better character design.
