Resident evil looks great and what it needed to do. Only downside is that it's still related to that convoluted mess of a storyline instead of being a reboot. It started great but quickly went off the wall.

Capcom confirmed all of Resident Evil 7 is in first person. And you play as a regular person and not any one of the major characters. Sounds like a spinoff similar to those old PS2 Dead Aim series or the rail-shooters on the Wii like Umbrella Chronicles.

No idea why this is a numbered mainline sequel. Its basically nothing of what the series is known for. Might as well call it a different franchise altogether.

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.

All we got was shots of Norman Reedus's ass. lol

I’m glad Crash Bandicoot is back, but I’m a bit disappointed that it’s just remasters of the original games. I was hoping for a completely new game inspired by the classics, but I’m looking forward to seeing what they can do to improve the originals besides better graphics. I hope the trilogy gets a physical release.

So Crash is in Skylanders now...which is what nearly every Crash Bandicoot fan has feared since 2011. But on the plus side they absolutely nailed his look in the game. He looks nearly exactly like he did in the original concept art by Charles Zembillas. I’ll definelty be getting the Crash figure, but I don’t know anything about the Skylanders games so I’m unsure about getting the new one. If I don’t have to buy any other characters and I can play the whole game as Crash then I might consider it.

Hoping things sell well enough to justify a Crash Team Racing remaster. Maybe even a brand new Crash game…hopefully.

Fixed that for ya.

As a Crash Bandicoot lover, hellllll naaaaah.

The recent explosion in Crash nostalgia makes absolutely zero sense to me.

Every Sony game looks exactly the same. Competently written, gorgeously rendered, mechanically neutered third-person action shooter.

Their conference was pretty good though. Nothing mind-blowing, like their hot-air bullsh*t that blew the roof off of the easily hyped last year, but they killed it by showing game after game, as uninteresting as most of them were.

Ha, irony.

*CyberCubed* · 06-13-2016, 11:45 PM

So the big games of 2017 are already looking packed:

- Mass Effect Andromeda
- Horizon: Zero Dawn
- God of War
- Spiderman PS4
- Shemnue 3
- Resident Evil 7
- FF7 remake (maybe)
- RE2 remake (maybe)

Also rumors of a Red Dead 2 next year, which makes sense as Rockstar always keeps their games quiet till they announce a date.

*Allio* · 06-14-2016, 12:51 AM

Looking forward to:
-Gravity Rush 2 (almost finished playing the game for the first time on the PS4)
-Resident Evil - I'm personally so tired of what Resident Evil has become, this looks refreshing...not exactly what I wanted, but I'll take it over 5 and 6 anyday

This Sony conference is going down as one of the best E3 shows ever. The hype is so huge, and I want so many of these games. I got to watch it in a theater, and it was like watching The Force Awakens on opening night.

*drgon78* · 06-14-2016, 05:40 AM

At least the new South Park game got a new preview.

*MrTMNT2012* · 06-14-2016, 05:43 AM

Zelda. Today.

Literally all I give a sh!t about in terms of video games. NINTENDO BLESS US!

Same!

South park was interesting. Resident Evil 7 is a big no at this point. Fingers crossed for Red dead redemption 2.

*Krutch* · 06-14-2016, 09:35 AM

Loved all that sweet VR goodness they showed

I hate where video games are going. Let me off this ride.

I agree, I found it boring. Shooter after shooter. Yawn

Peanut · 06-14-2016, 10:12 AM

More than that, it's the fact that people are going to theatres to be marketed to, lapping it down like good little kids, then taking to the Internet to spread the gospel and put down everything that they haven't been told to have interest in.

I've seen some really poignant discussions about the pluses/minuses of both the Sony and MS stuff yesterday, but most of it has been drowned out by people screaming loudly that Sony has no equal. Maybe it's because I really really don't care for games where you slow walk between scripted action set-pieces, but I really don't know how to handle the industry moving further and further towards these "experience" games and away from gameplay first philosophies. The fact that people are loudest for the least interesting form of video games is a huge bummer.

Maybe I'm getting old.

Getting old is what is appealing about these new "experience" games, personally. I'm done to death with shooters and fighting games so much so that I simply don't have the attention span to finish anymore. I'm still only about halfway done Uncharted 3 and Last of Us is still in shrink wrap.

So, I'm all for "experiences" so long as they're engaging. If it's something new or different, I'll check it out. I enjoyed Firewatch. I enjoyed Oxenfree. I enjoyed Gone Home. I bought The Division since it's all my friends play and after playing it for about 2-3 weeks, I'm just bored.

That's just kinda it. I'm bored of games.

Maybe thats why VR is appealing to me. The few times I've played it I actually felt like I was doing something different than what I've been doing for the past 20 years.

Apparently RE7 is gonna be an actual game but the VR aspect is just Sony.
