Guerilla Collective will be a bunch of indie games from lower-tier pubs like TinyBuild, RawFury, Team17, etc. Not to say there can't be anything cool there, but you'll probably need to sift through a lot of really indie-looking games. Normally, I'd probably watch it all anyway, but now the Euros are on, soo....

Inkulinati is a turn-based strategy, possibly deck-builder? Don't remember, but it's been doing the presser rounds since last year's not-E3, at least.

Bramble looked... interesting. I liked the witch game better, though.
SteelRising trailer was pretty sick, their publisher (Nacon) is doing an event in July.

That new expansion to Death's Gambit looks really nice, and it's gonna be free for existing owners, so i'm gonna wait for that before playing. Supposedly it's gonna overhaul the game to make it more Metroidvania and less pure souls-like, which sounds awesome.

Checked in briefly with the Guerilla games stream. Are they the outfit that did the Killzone games?

Also tried that Wholesome Direct stream. Nice to see a philosophy of uplifting, positive games. It can't hurt to have more of that.

Which Ubi you be? Guess I'll try Ubisoft Forward next.

Guerilla Collective is a collection of indy developers. No connection to Guerilla studios.

I was pretty confused as well.

[Aptorian]

I'm impressed I think Ubisoft has created the most boring pre-show ever.

[Malankazooie]

Guess they are trying to tap into the popularity of watching someone stream playing a video game, in this case Ghost Recon Breakpoint. I don't understand the popularity of watching a live stream of someone playing a video game, but then again I'm not a 16 yr old kid.

[Aptorian]

Hey, hey, hey. Us 40 year olds also enjoy watching live streams too. It's important who is playing and what they're playing though. I'll recommend you the Scary Game Squad plauthrough of Resident Evil as a fun example.

Still, Twitch, still doesn't grab me. The whole business of interacting with the streamer is just weird.

Two things I'm hoping to hear off from Ubisoft.

A real Splinter Cell game and a sequel to the Grow UP/Grow Home games.

[Aptorian]

Rainbow: Extraction is looking really good. Love that they're continung to use the ability to shoot through walls. Shame I ain't got no friends. I'll probably never play the game.

[Aptorian]

Heh, this Rocksmith trailer. I love how gamers in these kinds of videos always live in these ridiculously big, well designed apartments and houses. Like, everyone who plays games is a millionaire.

[Aptorian]

40 minutes so far and nothing new or interesting.

Gay dance dude was cool though.

Damn, I fudged the time and thought it was starting later, so was out running errands. Glad I didn't miss much. Mario + Rabbids game showing now.

Cool that they're making Mario+Rabbids 2. I liked the first one well enough, though it didn't have a lot of depth. I hope they evolve the X-com combat and make more out of exploring the world.

[Aptorian]

Oh shit, Avatar. Can't wait to climb some weird fauna and unlock the map. It probably says something bad about me that I'd prefer to play the humans hunting those annoying cat people.

huh, an Avatar game. Movie game tie-ins usually aren't that good, if history is any indicator.

Is this access to every Farcry on any device, anywhere?

[Malankazooie]

Damn, wish I could have seen that AC Vahalla DLC announcement.

[Aptorian]

That was it? meh. MEH I SAY!

So far a really underwhelming E3.

Really hope Microsoft hits a homerun tomorrow. They need to go hard if they want to win hearts and minds. Rumor is that they've bought another 3-5 game developers, including IO (Hitman), Avalanche (Just Cause) and maaaybe Rocksteady (Batman Arkham) which would be an incredible scoop for them.

The Devolver stream starts at the bottom of the hour, right?

[Aptorian]

I'd forgotten about Devolver. I AM BACK IN.

[Aptorian]

The Devolver Maxpass show is off to a great start. Less bizarre body horro and just more industry satire.
