Game streaming is the new hotness. THE THING at this E3.

[Malankazooie]

DOOOOOOM! Was that a BFG welded to another BFG!

[Malankazooie]

That was destruction and mayhem porn. Those melee kills were out of control.

[Malankazooie]

Wrapping up. Nothing special.

[Mentalist]

okay, home, watching Bethesda almost live. Will review Microsoft later

Naturally, we start with a music number.

Talking about "coomunity"... I have a bad feeling about this.

whoa, they did bring Todd Howard. Huh.

Okay, that went about as I thought- "rocky start, mistakes were made, criticism is deserved. Community was amazing, here's more content coming up from us"

Human NPCs and a .... battle Royale mode? lol

Ooh, Tango. Something new?

New game- Ghostwire Tokyo
-Action-Adventure where you rid the city of "supernatural evil"

-huh, interesting trailer. NOT survival horror, , but dealing with survivors in a city where people keep disappearing. I'll have to see actual gameplay, but it's interesting.

MOre mobile games stuff, Commander Keen is a new thing. meh

Yep, they're really doubling down on the mobile stuff.

Rage 2 DLC. Predictable

Wolvenstein; Youngblood- a standalone that's "bigger than ever before" hmmmmmm
-release date- July 26th. But I think we knew that already

New Arkane game- 1st person Action game
-this has a distinct Bioshock vibe... but it's like.... asymmetric MP? ugh.
Anyway, Deathloop. A new Arcane game. We'll see how that pans out. If it's single-player, i'm totally down. thinking more on it, they could do it liek Dishonored 2 where you pick your character, and then play the story.-- might even do some AI learning so that once you play the second char, your enemy will use same tactics that you used to. Meh, I'm just bouncing ideas now cuz I want it to be a single-player game.

ookay, new streaming tech unexpected.

And now, let's do some DOOM!

hmmm, Doom Eternal doesn't really translate that well into video.
-oooh, release date. Did NOT expect this- figured they'd save that for QuakeCon
Nov 22nd.

Alll right, Devolver apparently started. and I missed it.
So, Nina Struthers makes the jump from RoboCop to the Terminator
-

Sigh Just caught the credits. Will have to watch that hilarity tomorrow.
-

Ok, let's watch Microsoft then.


Starting with the Outer Worlds. Strong.
Oct 25 release date, available on GamePass. That might be a way to bypass Epic.

Ninja theory new game- Bleeding Edge Yeah, this was leaked, and it's multiplayer so... meh

well, they're making 2 other games, so that's cool

Okay, Ori- and SPIDER. And other large beasties. I have a feeling killing them will be a requirement to power up the cocoon thing.

Okay, release date next year? huh, unexpected

Now, Minecraft Dungeons. I mean it's Diablo in Minecraft. Cool, if you're into that. Spring 2020

oh, that's a lot of PCs beside Spencer.

60 games? how many will be in showreel?

Okay Fallen Order again. Story trailer

Whoa, is that Alan Wake?

Okay, no Blair Witch

Cyberpunk time? CYBERPUNK TIME!

Shit, no... not Jackie!

Oh, but now we're going Matrix on this. Complete with a Rage song.

I mean, he also did Johny Mnemonic, so it's not like this is new for him.

aightt, so April 2020. Good thing I've been savign up cash, cuz this holiday it's upgrade time.

Spiritfarer looks like a cute artsy game.

No release date on Battletoads.

What the hell is this Legend of Mr Wright? that feels like a VR/kinekt game.

Okay, here comes the Indies reel
DeadStatic Drive
Pathologic 2
Star renegades
Afterparty
Totally Accurate Battle Simulator
Swery's game "The Good Life"
CrossCode
Creature in the Well
Killer Queen Black
RiverBond (that was that State of Play reveal, no?)
Unto the End
Blazing Chrome feels like an old game name.. hmm
Felix the Reaper
Undermine
Supermarket Shriek- I remember this ridiculous-looking game
Secret Neighbour
Ikenfell
LOTR card game
Nigth Call- this was @ the PC gaming show last year
Totem Teller

19 games. So, a third of the 60 games were in the reel.

oooh, PC stuff. let's hear it.

hmm, wait, does this mean Gears5 releases in August?

Ohh, new Flight Simulator? It's been a while.


AOE 2 DE- GIVE IT TO ME!!!1
-the last Khans- are they.... doing a Timurid civ?

hmkay, the Wasteland 3... I was a backer for Wasteland 2, but STILL haven't played it.. I need to rectify that.
-still this looks like more of that, but crazier

Hmm, let's hear about new acquisitions now

Double-Fine.. whoa.
-okay, I'm not THAT surprised, since they lost the publisher for Psychonauts 2.
-But still...

So psychonauts 2 is Microsoft game now. Release date?
-nope, still no release date

wait, more Star Wars stuff? Oh, it'sjust Lego
-wait, 2020? so no game releases for WB after MK11? weird....

DBZ RPG. eeeehhh I like the show, but that was a long time ago.

Annapurna is making a game that's not Epic exclusive? shocker

-time loops are getting really popular: Outer Wilds, Deathloop, now this..... (Also, Blair Witch)


I remember seeing this deer game before.

Gears time. I'm still meh on the series, cuz I know i can't play the 2nd and 3rd game. So it' s difficult to summon enthusiasm for part 5.
-release date Sept 10th

new co-op mode. Escape
and a Terminator pre-order bonus

New controlers. oookay


hmm, Dyding Light 2 made an appearance? I guess there'll be gameplay @ Squeeenix's thing.

Horizon update- and of course, a car on stage. Is the car on stage made of lego? IT IS! That's pretty impressive.

I do not understand the concept behind Gears Pop. But it's a mobile game so that's okay.

State of Decay 2? really?
-this is same style of storytelling as DeathLoop. interesting...

wow, Xboc got Phantasy Star Online? It's an MMO, so I won't play it, but that's still a huge get. And Free to Play?

this must be the Japanese portion of the show. I have no idea what CrossFireX is

And now somethign very Anime.- Tales of Arise. Looks fancy.

so, Borderlands 3 showed up here after all.

Sooo... Elden Ring. GRRM helped to write it.
And we're dealing with a fancy artifact that was "shattered". And presumably things have gone bad from there. FromSoft gonna FromSoft, of course. I'm on board.

no WB games me sad, though.

bundling streaming with an existing console's a good move.

And what's this about next-gen?
Holiday 2020, no surprise there.
-new SSD tech, huh

And a Halo cinematic. Not bad, but I understandably feel lost. Oh well, the MCC is coming.


I mean, this was...not bad.
To the point, games first, and Xcloud has good chances of killing Stadia, because instead of buying all the games, all you need is a base Xbone and a Gamepass sub with streaming beeing a free thing.

Bleeding edge failed to impress, and I'm 100% there for AoE 2 DE. Flight Sim is an acquired taste. and Gears remain not my thing. (Too bad we didn't see any Gears Tactics)


Bethesda got 2 new curious IPs. Good for them.

[Serenity]

So does the fact that Cyberpunk 2077 was part of the Xbox presentation mean that Microsoft have bought up a limited time exclusivity deal with CDPR? I know it's coming to PS4 as well but can see it being six months later or something. Anyway, not sure about KR's involvement. I don't mind Hollywood actors doing voices in games but seeing their faces in game is meh for me.


Really, really want The Outer Worlds.

i highly doubt it. Probably just a marketing deal.

[Aptorian]

Watched the Devolver conference earlier. I think Devolvers story driven show is my favorite thing about E3.

That and the annual Dave Lang, John Vignochi and Adam Boeys segment.

[Mentalist]

Devolver Cinematic Universe is the best part of E3.

And the games they showed were alright, too.

[Mentalist]

PC Gaming show (sponsored by Epic) about to start.

I'm guessing 40% of titles will be EGS exclusive

Mostly hyped to see Bloodlines 2 gameplay.

[Aptorian]

I haven't paid attention to the PC show. I wonder if there's gonna be something big mainstream that wasn't shown at Microsoft's show?

Warner Brothers? 2K? Activision?

It just occurred to me. Where was COD and Destiny during the Microsoft show?

[Malankazooie]

In the intro, they said they will have more Baldur's Gate 3 and Borderlands 3 gameplay.

[Malankazooie]

*StrokeACatMenacingly.

Lets get that trending.

[Aptorian]

Are your feeds cutting out as well or is it IGN's stream?

[Aptorian]

Why is that guy wearing fingerless gloves?

[Malankazooie]

he's a smooth criminal

[Malankazooie]

Oh snap! Game of Thrones diss!

Damn, Is it universally accepted that everyone hated the final season? I thought it was okay myself, but then I don't get all emotional over stuff like that. I enjoy the books more.

PC gamers really are snooty, though aren't they? They really think they are superior to use console pleebs.

[Mentalist]

Okay, so:

Evil Genius 2. Featuring the Heavy from TF2

And now... BLOODLINES 2!!!

That's a dirty tease. I'm guessing the highlight hearts vision was Auspex.

Starmancer is dwarf fortress in space. It's outside my capacity of understanding, but looks cool.

Tripwire- so this must be ManEater, the SharkPG
-no way, it's Chivalry 2! I mean, it's an MP game, so outside my interest, but yeah. Nice.
-also, EGS exclusive.

Mosaic looks a bit confusing.

Another MP game- ghost hunt. By Coffee stain.
And NOT EGS exclusive? Interesting...

Unexplored 2... I have never heard of the original. Or maybe I did and "procedurally generated" turned me off
-the art style looks nice

Funcom? They've got the Conan license, but they"re mostly into MMOs... let's see

Conan conquered wasn't my kind of RTS. Gimme something with more story

Moons of Madness looks nice, but that's not newwhat is Conan chop chop? Sounds mobile.

Okay, so a Rogelio that looks like a Klei game, huh? Might be cool, if it has an actual story.


Lost Oasis looks super-impressive, but it's just not my kind of game. Same as ARK, and Atlas, etc.

Ooh, Age of Wonders Planetary got a release date: Aug 6th. That game looks cool AF.
-and some insane shit you can do in it.

Rebellion's mystery game is a co-op Nazi zombie shooter a la Strange Brigade. Sigh, I wanted a 2000 AD game.

Ooh, and it's EGS only. Well, then.
