One thing I'm sick of is companies showing these cinematic trailers to showcase their games instead of the actual gameplay. When we all know these CG trailers and the actual game look nothing alike in terms of graphics, and you don't get a good grasp of the gameplay in-game with these CG commercials. I'm sure others have noticed this throughout the years.

Also was the Dishonored II trailer the same exact one they showed last year? Because it sure seemed familiar.

Without Nintendo I'm just not hyped for E3. Funnily enough it's them who would get me excited and go on black-out mode until I watched every press conference but since they wont have any I don't care to watch any of the other conferences so I'll just read the announcements instead of waiting to see the conferences.

quick predictions:

Sony: They'll have the worst conference since they blew their load last year and they'll mostly talk about the same things again, they don't have the PS4K Neo whatever to show either and people's expectations are super high after last eyar.

Microsoft: This will help Microsoft as their conference will be nothing special but will likely end up having more stuff than Sony.

Nintendo: I'm sure during their treehouse they'll show off other stuff besides Zelda even if it's the titles we already know are coming for later this year. Zelda will probably get people very excited as well. Everyone is being such a downer about no Direct and because of that if nintendo shows any signs of life people will get extremely excited.

Consoles becoming phones and zero first-party announcements made the Microsoft conference disappointing as hell. Sea of Thieves looks great at least.

I worry Sony's E3 conference will just be a repeat of the games from last year, since literally everything from 2015 hasn't come out yet. We'll see Horizon, Shemnue 3, FF7 remake, The Last Guardian again, as well as Project Dreams, etc.

I think the only game Sony showcased from E3 2015 that came out was Uncharted 4, and that was just a month ago. Half the games I just mentioned aren't even coming out till 2017, which was 2 years later.

This entire E3 in general almost feels like leftovers from last year.

Can't wait for Gears of War 4. ReCore and Scalebound look pretty interesting. Definitely gonna keep an eye on those games. Dead Rising 4 looks cool though nothing new. Really wish they would have showed a brand new Battletoads for the Xbox Arcade or something from Rare's past make a comeback. Especially since we got Rare Replay last year. Also, I feel like the Xbox Scorpio completely stepped all over the Xbox S. It's like, what's the point of getting a slimmer model if you're just gonna upgrade again in a year?

The Call of Cthulhu game sounds interesting but with the lack of game play shown I think it could have been cooler as a animated movie.

The main games I am interested in are Persona 5, Dragon Quest XI, and the South Park game.

Microsoft really needs some new stuff. Halo, Gears of War, Forza, Dead Rising for the millionth time? All these franchises have long since lost their luster due to the sheer mass of sequels.

You mean...like nearly everything in the industry? I've seen this parroted all over the place today, but we're buried in remasters, people just got done celebrating another TPS from Naughty Dog and the 5th Souls game in 6 years, but Microsoft needs new stuff? Video games are stale as F*CK across the board.

Halo needs a rest, I agree, but Gears hasn't had a proper sequel in 5 years and hasn't had a new entry PERIOD in 3. Forza is safe and boring and for a specific crowd. Dead Rising has had 3 real entries in 10 years. DR3 came out 3 years ago. Meanwhile, Sea of Thieves, ReCore and Scalebound apparently don't exist at all?

This industry f*cking sucks right now for people who don't buy into hype.

1. Kojima's new game...nothing to say about it. Another example of a CG trailer with no gameplay.

2. Resident Evil 7 looks ridiculous, nothing like Resident Evil. I wouldn't mind if it was another spinoff like all the other RE spinoffs, but this being a mainline numbered game is odd. I don't even know what to make of it.

3. The new Spiderman game looks cool. It would be great if we had a well done modern Spiderman similar to the PS3 Batman Arkham games at least.

4. God of War reboot looks like it can be interesting.


Other than that, not much to say. Horizon looks a bit too much like a Ubisoft open world game for my tastes but I'm still hyped for it. Everything else was expected, not interested in another zombie game.

Hm, also interesting The Last Guardian come out this year. The game was announced in 2009, I really hope waiting 7 years for it was worth it.

I feel like Sony is trying to make every one of their franchises look like Uncharted and The Last of Us:

- Horizon
- God of War
- Days Gone

Literally all gave me the same exact vibe with the open wilderness and the slow cinematic movements until the action scenes came.
