E-Free 2018

[Cure]

Yoooooo, let's discuss that Microsoft conference. Pretty densely packed with stuff and probably XBox's best in years. Lots of cool stuff was shown. Let's also discuss the other conferences!

I agree with the latter but its not really "Xbox's best" when pretty much most of the games are multi platform. Really looking forward to Sekiro and Cyberpunk 2077, might get Jump Force though

I didn't watch the conferences just some videos I was linked to that piqued my interest:

Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Still not a fan of nuLara but at the very least this looked more Tomb Raider than the past two games

CyberPunk 2077: Looks ok so far but it didn't wow me.

Jump Force: I wish the graphics were cel shaded

Dead Or Alive 6: This trailer did not seem like a DOA game

Devil May Cry 5: looks ok

I'm not big on current gaming trends so nothing else really interested me to check out trailers but not crapping on that, just not for me.

I'm more excited about new Battletoads then any of the other games. Battletoads holds a special place in our hearts. It came out in a time when TMNT was huge. And the game was no doubt capitalizing on the success of TMNT. The game was super challenging.

Would have honestly preferred we got a sequel to DmC over DMC5.

Me, too, actually! That game is great.

Does it really? I always thought that while somewhat recognizable back then was still pretty niche. Almost as much as Startropics.

They do in mine, certainly.
Though, I've learned about them only at the end of the 90s.

Wouldn't that completely defeat the purpose?

Oh my God, Sony's thing is garbaaaaaaaaaaage. What are they thinking?!

[sdp]

I'll give them props for trying something new but it didn't work out. Maybe it's more interesting if you're actually there but we'll have to wait and hear from those who were there.

As far as games I got some interest in:

Sonic Team Racing: The team aspect is kinda neat, I wonder how it'll do.

Starlink: I didn't know about this game, could be interesting. Don't like the Star Fox crossover as it sticks out like a sore thumb next to the other characters. I'd love an open world SF game though.

Resident Evil 2: Unsure I would've preferred a straight up remake like REmake was to 1. Doesn't seem my cup of tea but it was only a short trailer.

SMASH BROTHERS AAAAAAAAAAAAAhhhh!

[sdp]

Smash is an enhanced port basically but that's no problem for me, I expected that and the whole "complete smash" roster was something I wanted since the Wii U version was only like 4 fighters away from doing it anyway so at least there's that. I never got the DLC for Smash 4 so there's enough new characters for me here already. I'm almost sure we'll get other new fighters to keep the hype going to Nintendo, at least 2 more.

Not much else from Nintendo but that's also fine by me, they had been doing a lot of announcements and they said this E3 would only be for 2018 titles. No Star Fox Racing, no Animal Crossing, no Yoshi but I'm guessing those will happen earlyish next year.
