E3 15

[Antwan]

Hype, speculation, talk, what you guys got?
So far I've heard about four things that may be revealed.
Red Dead Redemption 2, Digital game trading, call of duty signing a contract with Sony
and a gaming only channel for YouTube including live streams.

[Pifachu]

SKATE 4...

not going to happen

[oKwiider]

kinda hype. hopefully triple a's will make come out swinging this year and i'll have a good reason to buy a console(or maybe even build a pc.) i'll probably miss the initial streams though. bethesdas tomorrow and i'll be on my way to work by then but i should be able to rewatch them in their entirety on twitch right?

[momadaddy]

fallout, darksouls 3, and hopefully a new metroid

[DaaGooN]

1tb Ps4 slim,RDR2,UC4,
Price cuts....

And a lot of don't cares.

[Antwan]

Skate 4.. Hahah..
Part of me hopes tony hawk makes a comeback so ea shuts them down with skate years later.

Feel Ya on that, haven't seen a real reason to get into current gen either.
Games plz.

Dark souls was an interesting series, I found them highly entertaining but haven't finished them yet.
Pretty difficult!

The higher storage consoles idea interests me.
Almost didn't seem needed with last gen though.
I had several usb flash drives collecting dust that did the job fine.
I've also heard you'll be able to just plug in any standard hard drive soon?
That's kinda cool.

[NotedDerk]

It bugs me that people say Red Dead Redemption 2, if they do announce another title to the series, it won't be Redemption, it will have a new title. /endbitching

All I want to see from E3 is more Fallout 4 goodies, everything else is just background noise.

[Antwan]

You don't think it will be a sequel to red dead?
Hey, that's possible. It might not even be at E3.
I was just thinking about Undead Nightmare and how it could be considered a step in another direction before the sequel.
It reminds me of how Alan Wakes American Nightmare became an arcade release.

Did you play through bioshock infinite?
I'm new to the bioshock series and played through because I had it downloaded for free a previous month.
It reminds me of the fallout 4 theme from the trailer.
Colorful, but turns dark pretty quickly.
This is an interesting thing.. Atleast with bioshock infinite the darker environments were game changing moments that made it kind of tough to keep looking for supplies.
The previous fallout games seemed to have a lack of color but you knew what to expect.

[NotedDerk]

The first game was called Red Dead Revolver, then Red Dead Redemption, so if a new one comes, it will be Red Dead ___________. Assuming it starts with a R to continue the alliteration, but not Redemption 2. The only way I can see them continuing the Redemption story is if you got to play as John Marston when he was in the gang before he got shot and left to die. Otherwise, the story is pretty much fully laid out in the game, some say Jack's story afterwards would be interesting, but he was just a brat to me. Not a memorable character at all, much less interested if an entire game revolved around him. Rockstar has started from scratch both times, Revolver and Redemption have nothing in common besides the old west era, so I'm assuming the trend would continue. I would love to see the next game be announced at E3, just bugs me when people assume it'll be RDR2, especially when it's just a rumor to begin with.

[EmmitBrown]

The first game was called Red Dead Revolver...

i got DOWN with that game.

[Antwan]

Good stuff, didn't know there was a previous game.
all we can really do is speculate though man.
There isn't much inside information these days.
I wouldn't say I trust these unofficially blog gaming websites but I still like to talk about it.
Especially with a series that never really died.
Spoiler warnings? Meh, probably right about the characters.
Grand theft auto as an example had new characters every sequel but they kept it a series.
Sharing those ideas and technology could be cool.
Red dead with everything they learn from GTA online?

[NotedDerk]

I didn't spoil anything, if you're referring to the 'got shot and left to die' part, that is what John says when he refers to his past during the game, that's why he was done with the gang. Plus, if you haven't played Read Dead Redemption by now, what the fuck is wrong with you? Rumors should never be taken seriously though, I would be ecstatic for a new Read Dead, but I just refuse to believe anything until Rockstar says otherwise. Just as I refused to believe anyone until Bethesda announced Fallout 4. Discussing the idea of it is fine, just don't get hyped over something that could possibly never happen. It's really disappointing to feel like your game is in the making, when in reality, it never comes to be, that shit is depressing. With how popular Red Dead Redemption was, that almost guarantees a new game, they are a business after all and the people demand it. Loads of people are still upset over RDR not being on pc though, maybe they'll finally announce that? haha. You seen the video of the voice actor for John? His name is Rob Wiethoff and doing John Marston's voice was the only thing he ever really did for his career, because that's all he wanted from the industry. A few little commercials, but that's it besides RDR. Just a regular joe who got the amazing opportunity to voice the main character of a glorious game.

[EmmitBrown]

^^ right? maybe they'll finally announce Agent as in production, lol. rockstar doesn't really do e3 tho do they? aren't they on their own schedule, like, "we'll show you when we want to?"

[EmmitBrown]

Red dead with everything they learn from GTA online?

red dead redemption had better online than gta v. imo.

[Antwan]

I see hype and speculation as two completely different things.
Red Dead was a hit, rockstar has some money, we speculate that a sequel could come out.
I don't know that hearing it didn't come out after talking about it would be depressing haha.
It's just talk until it's official, then it's hype.
Didn't see that video either. Pretty rad. "Enjoy the Journey" hell yeah.

When I said red dead with gta online I meant doing the jobs.
Imagine them in a western setting? I thought it sounded cool anyway.

[DaaGooN]

Well it has a name..

Red Dead Redemption 2: Legends of the West

Some say it will be teased at E3, some say Gamerscon..

I say, i don't care.. just give me the game!!

http://www.thegamescabin.com/whoops-ubisoft-may-have-leaked-red-dead-redemeption-2s-existance/

[Antwan]

Hype versus speculation is an interesting subject though.
Once another game is made public everything becomes hype.
What are the developers going to do this time? The grey area is where the mind wonders and ultimately lets a couple of people down when they have these high expectations from word of someone who isn't on the inside.
These days it almost seems as if that hope is what drives part of the fanbase for a series.
While there are still people who are just happy to see that they are making something new.

[oKwiider]

checked my youtube feed. saw dishonored 2 trailer. i am a very happy boy today.

[momadaddy]

red dead redemption had better online than gta v. imo.

getting a posse was cool and all but you're wrong. gta5 had way more. i see your reality and substitute my own

[momadaddy]

YES NOV 10!!

[Felly]

HYPED!

If I can play Skate 1, 2 or 3 on Xbox One, I will be super happy.
But they probably won't be chosen for this since they're not Xbox exclusive games.

[EmmitBrown]

true there's more to do...a lot more to do. GTAO broke some of the best features tho. in RDR you wouldn't show up on radar unless you were sprinting or firing your weapon. plus hunting, poker, etc. i love GTA V so much i bought it four times but online is nothing but a circle jerk.

[Antwan]

Yeah.. Sounds like they're still limiting backwards compatibility What gives?!
I guess some is better than none, but meh.. been out a while and I'm not all that interested in the Xbox one lineup just yet. E3 entices me more, but still feels like a leap especially if they cant do something simple like backwards compatibility on all 360 games.
I would say buy a capture card versus having the Xbox one features for some 360 games.
More about the cross generation line up...
I think I'll find myself more likely to buy the 360 version of a game, even if I do buy an Xbox one when it comes to those games that are on both generations. If the game isnt current gen exclusive I'm not really enticed to have one version with "dynamic shadows/lighting" personally.

IGN has all the videos if you guys missed it, I'm watching now.
https://youtube.com/channel/UCKy1dAqELo0zrOtPkf0eTMw

[EmmitBrown]

^^ cool. i was watching on p3/p4 (switching between for various reasons) but was getting spotty connection during EA so i stopped (didn't really care about what they were showing anyway). i gotta catch up on shit i missed.

[Antwan]

Cool, feel free to conversate on the stuff.
I actually have to duck out.

Last words
There's really only been two exceptions for cross generation games I would buy on current gen.
NBA 2K and GTA V.
NBA 2K games are very sad on the last gen side.
GTA V on current gen has new console exclusive shit coming.
Fallout 4 Mods to be cross platform and avalible on xbox one.
What the actual fuck?

[oKwiider]

gotta start practicing my controller throw.
and this does it. this e3 was pretty fantastic so far so its safe to say a new pc will be built. i'll miss out on exclusives(pretty much all microsoft indies, hopefully theyll get a windows release and tomb raider:mad: ) but im positive about the choice.

[Antwan]

Let us know the PC build when you get there.
I haven't rage damaged a controller since PS2 Days haha.
It was a Mortal Kombat game.. Deadly alliance I think.
First controller I ever broke, never did it again.
Ive watched two controllers fall apart playing the skate series though.
I can't lie about the wireless Xbox one controller having some dope ideas.
I just hate buying them over and over.

What did you guys think of the hololens thing?
I don't play minecraft but it still looked pretty wild as a concept.

[heshfield]

Skate 4.. Hahah..
Part of me hopes tony hawk makes a comeback so ea shuts them down with skate years later.



Be careful what you wish for..

[Seanne1986]

Oh man.. best E3 ever!! way too many games that will hurt my wallet.. seriously.. I mean just look at my list!

Uncharted 4
Uncharted Nathan Drake Collection
Final Fantasy VII Remake (I hyped like a fucking girl!)
Ghost recon the division and wildlands (fuuuuuuuck give me them now!)
Dark Souls 3
Starwars Battlefront
Firewatch
Just Cause 3
Hitman
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
Mad Max
Batman Arkham Knight
Metal Gear Solid V
Until Dawn
Rainbow Six Siege
Mass Effect: Andromeda
Horizon: Zero Dawn
For Honor
The Last Guardian
No Man's Sky
Mirrors Edge Catalyst
Sea of Thieves
Rare Collection

That's all I can think of at the moment. I mean fuck! My wallet will be thin as fuck as well as my fridge the next couple of years :(

[oKwiider]

holo lens looks awesome. would be fun for casual stuff like the sims and city builders. same for like strategy games and dungeon crawlers and most top down games. imagine a game like dungeon keeper in 3d working multiple levels of a dungeon at the same time with multiple players. would be sick. so much possibility.

[saunders420]

GTA V on current gen has new console exclusive shit coming.


only on xbone and ps4 not the older generation.



My E3 games Im looking forward to playing in the future

Hololens and Minecraft with my nephew and niece. apparently they have a halo 5 demo, nothing playable just walking through a level er something. wonder whats gonna happen the hololens for fps and other games. seems restrictive until your imagination lets loose. We will have to wait and see I guess.
Ghost Recon
Rainbox Six
For Honor
Battlefront
Sea of Thieves
Arkham Knight
Mad Max and JC3
Hitman
many more

The Division im still a bit skeptical about but does look promising.


Still wishing for skate 4. haha that tony hawk article is pretty interesting hesh. we got control again with the pushing, I wonder if it's an option like it has always been. until robomodo started wrecking the game, guess they are slowly realizing they're mistakes.

The Last Guardian and Final Fantasy was a really nice surprise too. 10 years in the making they both should be quite the spectacle.

[Antwan]

Yeah I'm trying to refer to next gen as current gen these days.
I got that note Saunders, considered.

I did read the article too..
Really made me think about the Skate VS. Tony Hawk Comparison.
I'm all for the hype and spread of that franchise, it was fun back in the day.
I don't know that I can agree with that writer though.
They were saying that tony hawk somehow felt more forgiving.
For me that arcade style took many more years to learn.
I would even say the tony hawk games were for the hardcore gamers after seeing skate.
I still don't fully understand how to do everything in the tony hawk games.
It's a funny story but Project 8 on Xbox 360 had me and my friends attempting to play realistic games of SKATE.
We would skate in real life then go to my friends house.
A majority of the time we couldn't figure out how to replicate eachothers fliptricks.
The game had always been about shredding.
We got into the first skate game immediately.
My friends were soon showing me up there after.

womb raider is a timed exclusive so sony will have it

[oKwiider]

^aahh. havent read much about the game since the initial exclusivity fallout. good to know.

[Seanne1986]

GTA V on current gen has new console exclusive shit coming.
?

Where did you hear that? Got source?

[Antwan]

Where did you hear that? Got source?
Might've confused some people..
Next gen is current gen now.
As far as I know last gen can't handle the new features.
Pretty sure I read it on the Rockstar website too.
Got quite a bit going through my head lately so definitely confirm that.
Info in the GTA V replay editor thread.

Did E3 sell anyone who doesn't have them on buying current gen console(s)?
Still not entirely convinced on a purchase yet.
If I had the money I'd say fuck it and buy them, probably a Wii aswell.
Always been a console gamer but almost seems like graphics are a fallback for some developers.
Meh..

I think you confused him because "console exclusive" refers to stuff that isn't coming to PC, or is specifically for one console over the other. You're thinking "Current-gen exclusive"

[saunders420]

the only stuff that's been said by Rockstar about new things for consoles is the replay editor. that's all. PS4 and Xbone.
im sure in the future though updates will be different for each iteration of the game. restrictions from older hardware basically.

[Antwan]

Right on.
Read the rockstar page again..
They confirmed releasing the updates for current gen and are "planning" to release everything on every platform.
They did talk about the memory on last gen and its potential to hurt the overall experience.
I wouldn't get too hyped about last gen on the off chance it doesn't happen.
Seems odd to say at some point they knew they would reach a limit if it was a definite thing.
Skate 3 knocked the editor out of the park though, so, might be possible but just saying.

I was thinking it might've been the editor Antwan was talking about. It just sounded like it could've been something else aswell. Console exclusive sounds so flashy lol.
