@IceClimbers Who the hell mentioned Team Sonic Racing? I sure didn't. :/ And sure, NBA was technically leaked first, but okay. Back down to 4 then.

@Mrtoad Should we bump the predictive number up to 10 games? I think that's one or two too high personally.

Technically FIFA wasn't. It was mentioned but the actual announcement came at E3.

@JaxonH We'll have to wait and see for sure. I really doubt it, but it's possible. Doom 2 definitely has a fair shot, but I don't really have my hopes up. They didn't officially confirm the platforms yet as far as I know though, so who knows.

@KirbyTheVampire It looks like it's basically reusing all of Doom's models, physics, etc, so it probably has a pretty good chance of coming over. Shouldn't be much if any more difficult than getting the first one over, and now the groundwork is laid.

@KirbyTheVampire
After playing DOOM with motion, it's hard to get excited about going back to analog sticks. So I really hope it does come, because it will probably mean the difference between buying the game or not.

Suppose I could always set up my STEAM controller and map gyro but, that would only work for PC play on the TV. Would still be out of luck on the GPD Win 2 (unless it has gyro? No I don't think it does)

Just finished watching Bethesda's show and I think it was a little lackluster and cringey. Bethesda always has trouble finding things to bring to E3. This was a pretty decent year for them but most of what they showed was updates or betas "AVAILABLE NOW" which is pretty hype but not beefy. Then there was the two second teases for Starfield and Elder Scrolls VI which were both a little silly. But as a West Virginian I liked the look into Fallout 76. Sadly I don't think that one's coming to Switch. But a lot of this stuff was! Including Fallout Shelter which I used to play on my phone and that's available tonight. I like how Bethesda is really supporting the Switch and they made that obvious during their conference, sometimes even mentioning Nintendo first. Overall, B-, 81/100.

OK, and then Devolver Digital came on while I was typing that up and they. Won. E. 3. Seriously. That was the funniest thing ever. If you didn't watch it I urge you to go look it up but I warn you it has a strong adult content rating. The best part was when they announced the Devolver Digital Classic Edition Console and it was just a Sega Dreamcast with a bootleg Xbox game inside. If you're wondering, that's the kind of humor they're going for. Anyway they DID announce a Switch game (I think they only announced three games) so hurray for that as well. A++++++, 1000/10.

@link3710 I really hope so. That would be a very strong third party title, and give us a better indication of how much Bethesda plans to support the Switch moving forward. I wonder if that new Wolfenstein title will come as well?

@JaxonH Yeah, aiming with analog sticks feels so archaic. A mouse or motion controls is so much easier. I don't know why games on other systems don't at least give us the option. I guess a lot of people are just set in their ways.

Btw the switch game announced at Devolver Digital was My Friend Pedro and it's a 2D shooter, since nobody seems to have watched that but me. (I read back in the thread.)

Here's that new game from Devolver Digital TheLobster was referring to. Aren't these the guys bringing The Mercenary Messenger to Switch? Because that game looked crazy good.

I feel like I'm the only one that doesn't find the Devolver Digital conferences funny. It's just obnoxious and they try way too hard.

@KirbyTheVampire
Well, Microsoft didn't even include gyro so, it's not even an option on the Xbox. As for PS4... Idk. Probably because like you said, people are set in their ways. There was a lot of resistance to motion controls on Wii U and Switch. Mostly because of bad impressions from the Wii era. It took years for people to finally warm up to them and accept them as a legit control method. Even now it's still a battle getting people to adopt motion. But I do at least feel like the wheels are turning now. Enough people have woken up to its potential that it's kind of created this word of mouth effect, and each game with proper motion helps strengthen its position.

Wolfenstein 2 is gonna be great. I can only hope we see a Fallout New Vegas port, and Doom Eternal, both with motion. I think I would be well and truly satisfied from Bethesda after that

@JaxonH Ah, didn't know that about Xbox. That makes sense, at least.

And yeah, I think a lot of people still have PTSD from the Wii era, and rightfully so. The waggle could be pretty ridiculous at times.

@DarthNocturnal If you can't stand the Ubisoft ones, just be glad that you aren't watching the Devolver ones. They make Ubisofts conferences feel like heaven itself.

I've just downloaded Fallout Shelter and the icon is annoying me already. I hope they fix it. If I could choose to change it at the expense of the Snake Pass icon returning I would.

@OorWullie Ok so I'm glad I'm not the only one that the icon is bugging.

I think people are ridiculous some times, motion controls in for example splatoon is a completely different beast to having to shake a controller because the controller lacks buttons (i.e DKCr).

As I have said before, motion controls in splatoon is the nearest you can come to a mouse and keyboard setup. It takes some time to get used to it, but not that long. And it far beats auto aiming.

@Therad Thankfully no, that's even worse than the Switch one...... I think.

Aww, I was hoping we'd get a Ruiner port. Oh well.

The first conference was funny because it was unexpected and lampooned the entire event. I'm not sure it's the sort of think you can really repeat to the same effect. though.

Madden isnt coming to Switch because its best for the game.

Sure EA. Its best your America centric game doesnt go to the fastest selling system in the US.

Add onto this Unravel team not having the funds or resources for a Switch port theyd like to do and I think EA isn't sticking around.
