By s y Go To Postfrom the moment TLOU sold well they knew there would be a second one
and a third. I
They knew ND was on UC4 and the earliest TLOU2 would come out would be 2019. That's enough gap for a game like Days Gone to fill the niche
By reilo Go To PostI didn't even realize it was open world from the trailer they showed today. What little of the gameplay I saw from the latest trail didn't look much new or different in the genre.The E3 2016 trailer started off with the MC driving around and there was a mini map and everything.
gameplay looks pretty boring though.
i think im too old to get hyped over any games now, i'll just wait for them to get released and if they have great reviews/word of mouth then i'll check them out.
Days Gone has Detective-vision/Witcher-sense
Fuck that then. Encounters with humans seem extremely TLOU

E3 been a complete disastrous trainwreck this year. A way out looked cool, Anthem looks pretty, Wolfenstein II lloks like more of the solid same. The rest looked piss poor.
E3 was never going to live up to the hype of the past two years, sony literally delivered 8/9 out of 10 conference past two years. Pretty much got what I expected, hope the next 6 months will just be more footage of games we already know about, they've announced a TON of games past 12 months.
Have a feeling TLOU 2 wont be 2018

Pretty good interview
EG:It's fine. I think eventually we'll just forget about the name and it'll roll off the tongue. Onto the price. At $499, who is Xbox One X for?
Phil Spencer: When we look at our line of consoles it's incredibly important we have value with Xbox One S - HDR gaming, 4K Blu-ray drive, upsampling to 4K for people who want that - and power. Xbox One X is for the customer who's looking for the most powerful console that's going to run every game they're going to play better than any other console.
If you have a 4K television, the fidelity of the experience you're going to get on this console on that television is unrivalled by any other console. If you're a PC gamer who's been playing games in 4K and you're thinking, hey, maybe I'll find a reason now to buy a console, something that's going to play games similar to the way I've seen them on my monitor, here's a great console for you. If you have an Xbox One today, if you've got a PS4 today, you've had them for a couple of years, you're a person who plays games a lot, you've invested in a new TV, or even have a 1080p TV - that's why we added the technology to make supersampling to make this play games better even on your 1080p TV - this is for the person who's looking for a premium experience.
I reflect back to when we did the Elite controller and I got some questions at E3 about, hey, you can't sell a $150 Elite controller. Who's that for? And then we couldn't make enough to satisfy the demand. So there is a customer out there who's looking for the premium experience.
But I will say price is critical. The majority of our consoles that are sold next year will be S. That has always been the plan.
Are you not worried about being $100 more expensive than the PS4 Pro?
Phil Spencer: I look at Pro as more of a competitor to S than I do to Xbox One X. This is a true 4K console. If you just look at the specs of what this box is, it's in a different league than any other console that's out there. When I think about techniques to somehow manufacture a 4K screen like what some other consoles try to do, this is different than that. This is 40 per cent more GPU. The amount of RAM we have in this, the speed of the RAM, the speed of the harddrive, the reaction we're getting from developers… having Patrick [Soderlund, EA executive] show Anthem at the end of our show, which looked fantastic, opening with Forza, but having the third-party validation - when I stood there and went through Final Fantasy and Resident Evil and Ghost Recon and Rocket League, those assets that were running behind me were all in 4K because those developers were already up in 4K on this kit, because that's the box we built. There's not a tonne of work developers are having to do to get to 4K, and then they can spend the extra headroom they have and time to perfect the game they want to build. That's why we're able to say, over 30 games will have 4K updates for Xbox One X when we launch it. That's going to be fantastic. Third-party support's been great.
Yeah, but that had been announced. I'm talking about big first-party triple-A announcements to get us all really excited for Xbox One X.
Phil Spencer: The focus I had on this show was games you're going to get to play in the next year. We're focusing on Xbox One S and Xbox One X and the games you're going to play. We showed Crackdown, which looks fantastic. It's going to be there at launch day for Xbox One X, which will be a great showcase for the box. Obviously Sea of Thieves. I thought State of Decay showed up really well. Some people played State of Decay 1, but a lot of people missed it. Now we're giving that game time to really hit what we want State of Decay to do, because that will be an important franchise for us. We showed Forza.
Frankly, I loved the fact I didn't have to bring out Gears and Halo just to say, hey. People know we have Gears and Halo in our portfolio, and we're working on other things that aren't on this list…
Pretty good interview
I didn't think the Sony E3 presentation was good but just watched back most of the trailers since I was half asleep during the conference and well...
I'm really interested in Monster Hunter World, God of War, Shadow of Colossus and Matterfall now.

In terms of sales, he is probably right.
Edit :
I don’t know what deals get written. I’ve been pretty open about, I’m not a fan of doing deals that hold back specific pieces of content from other platforms. You don’t see that in the deals we’ve done with Assassin’s and Shadow. We’ll have a marketing deal on those, but I don’t say, hey, I need some kind of Strike or skin somebody else can’t play.
So about that Rise Of Tomb Raider deal and all those console launch exclusives...
He's probably talking about stuff like Destiny raids, weapons, accessories etc being walled off for a year, which is pretty shit when you know it's all on the disc ready for some unlock key from Bungie. They did do the COD stuff last gen which was 30 days iirc.

By LFMartins86 Go To PostAnd the FIFA stuff that never came out anywhere else.
What was that? I don't play FIFA.
Don't get it twisted, he's definitely whining about sour grapes. Still doesn't change that things like the Destiny content is bs.
By diehard Go To Posti think im too old to get hyped over any games now, i'll just wait for them to get released and if they have great reviews/word of mouth then i'll check them out.This is me now. I'm often surprised when a new game I want to play is released because I haven't been constantly checking my calendar for months in advance.
By Smokey Go To PostWhat was that? I don't play FIFA.Legends in the Ultimate Team. If you don't know what Ultimate Team is, it is a mode where you open up packs of players with in game currency that can be gathered either by winning games and competitions, selling players on the market or using real life money.

Legends are the all time greats and it was exclusive to Xbox for the past 4 years.

Familiar with it in Madden. Play the mode heavy. Didn't know they were doing that in FIFA. Equally trashy.
He is only saying that cause he can't get any now. Similar to how Sony didn't "believe" in them last gen. These companies are against a lot of stuff when they have no negotiating power.
It's the same thing with cross-play. Back in the PS3/Xbox 360 days, Sony was all up for it but Microsoft didn't want it. Now it's the reverse, Microsoft is pushing for it while Sony doesn't want anything to do with it.

Sad!
Cant say I'm mad at Sony at the moment due to the conference.
There's shitload of games that will be launched this year anyway. Far what Xbox and Switch has scheduled for 2017.
I probably will only buy 1 or 2 of them :p

Sony's conference was the same as it's always been, only they didn't announce some game that's never going to come out (FF7 remake, Shenmue 3, etc) so people aren't overrating it. In terms of the structure of the conference I enjoyed it, Shawn Layden spoke for like 5 minutes total and it was just trailer after trailer.
The most disappointing part of the conference is that Spider-Man is just a re-skinned Arkham game. Even the combo finishers are the same (at one point during the gameplay you see in the bottom right it says press triangle and circle for a takedown, pretty sure that's the exact button combo to do a takedown in Arkham games)

By FlutterPuffs Go To PostCant say I'm mad at Sony at the moment due to the conference.2017 already got more than my wallet can afford, especially since there are still a shitload of titles I still have to pick up from 2016 or early 2017.

2018 also got a good amount of games I wanna play.
Still so many announcements missing.
Squeenix is the obvious one, Sucker Punch, Sony Japan, From Software, Atlus, Sega, Bethesdas new IP, Ubisoft with Splinter Cell, CDPR with Cyberpunk, Retro, Nintendo EAD, possibly new first party studios by MS, Capcom Vancouver, Crystal Dynamics and so many more.
After Sony and Bethesda basically had conferences where some dude talked for like five mins and then they showed 1 hour of trailers maybe Nintendo was right and renting out conference space is a waste of money. Those shows could have easily been "nintendo direct" like events
By jjasper Go To PostAfter Sony and Bethesda basically had conferences where some dude talked for like five mins and then they showed 1 hour of trailers maybe Nintendo was right and renting out conference space is a waste of money. Those shows could have easily been "nintendo direct" like eventsYou lose the reactions from the crowd but Nintendo's directs are a great way to just announce everything fast and without much talk. Interested to see how they do today, the 25 min spotlight + 1h of new announcements on the Treehouse stream could be good.
By reilo Go To PostWatching some more Days Gone… is this TLOU2? I don't know why Sony made another zombie game that doesn't do anything different? It looks nice and all but where does it fit in within the portfolio? It feels so me-too.
It feels like a shitty budget version of it. Already feeling like there's enough Zombie games, I have really zero interest in it.
Don't know if it has been mentioned but that VR game, The Impatient, is a prequel to Until Dawn. It's the same sanitarium from UD but in the 50's.
I don't like what I've seen from Odessey so far. I'm pretty sure Nintendos gonna change my mind with the new trailer I just don't know to what extent.
Also I thought Days gone looked good. I don't really see the last Tlou comparisons. Open world with vehicles, hordes, actual zombies, it seems quite different from a game play stand point. Thematically it's more walking dead than Tlou as well. I'm a sucker for post apocalyptic shit though...

Hype deflating. It will probably be Splatoon 2, weak ass Pokémon fighter, Fire Emblem Warriors, Mario Odyssey, Xenoblade and Mario x Rabbids.
They'll be one or two extra titles I think. Nothing big budget though. It's all about getting more Odessey info for me.
By masud Go To PostThey'll be one or two extra titles I think. Nothing big budget though. It's all about getting more Odessey info for me.There will be plenty of that and footage of the game being played. Nintendo's E3 booth is a replication of the city in Odyssey's trailer, it's their main title for E3 and the one they will spend more time on it.
I just something new and surprising.
By KingGondo Go To PostThis is me now. I'm often surprised when a new game I want to play is released because I haven't been constantly checking my calendar for months in advance.There are a few games that I get hyped for. But it's more "I can't wait until this is out! *ignores nearly everything about it until two weeks before launch*".
So Spencer said that those are all the games that they're focusing on the next 12 months and he thinks the PS4Pro is a competitor to the S? "Crackdown looked great." "State of Decay showed well." Get outta here lol.
On comparing the Pro to the S, he's either really delusional or that's the weakest market spin they could come up with. Like he didn't even fucking hint at new games reveal towards EOY, what the shit. They just don't get it.

They just don't get it.I really think they're overstating and exaggerating where 4k currently stands in the market. It's a great soundbite for the psychos online who will feel empowered by the number, but breaking it down none of it adds up. Plus, developers are already saying that not every game is going to be in full 4k.
Spencer talking about the Elite controller and equating that at $150 to a premium customer who is ready to drop $500 on a console they already own seems way, way off to me too. And if that's where their heads are currently at then this image I threw together last night is more on the nose than I was intending to imply.
By reilo Go To Post"Crackdown looked great." "State of Decay showed well." Get outta here lol.
Yeah, those were the lines that jumped out at me too. I know it's his job to sell this stuff so he's gotta say it, but neither of those were good showcases. You've got competitors throwing out flashy Hollywood blockbusters all over the place and you come back with games that are behind the current gen curve in terms of assets and animation? Maybe they'll play well, but I thought the only thing they've shown that appeared to justify the console was Forza.
Maybe that won't matter, if it's really EA/Activision/Ubi games that their audience wants anyway, and if 4k TVs do well over the next 12-18 months then it might find an audience. The type of person who's buying 4k TVs at this point might have enough disposable income that their market research shows $499 won't make them sweat.
