E3 2015

[Bradandez]

That's why I'm going to buy it digitally. Can't find it anywhere.

[OCG]

European version is less rare I think.

[Snagglebee]

Agreed. I've seen it multiple times at our local shops. Never buy video games from local shops though because (at least in Germany) 99% they are always more expensive than getting video games from online shops (eg. Amazon).

[NyaNyaLily]

Yeah, but don't buy zappers and stuff on Amazon.
I ended up getting a third party one. :c
And I'm still waiting for the refund xD

[Snagglebee]

Then order from Amazon themselves or read the describtion of the 3rd. Party sellers there.

[NyaNyaLily]

Yeah, I've learned from that xD

[Master]

So, Xbox One has backwards compatibility? MS might have just hit a weakspot on Sony.

@Master
Too bad so far the conference is very boring, literally Third Party the conference.

Is anyone here going to be watching the new MGS V trailer in 50 minutes? I'm so hyped.

[Master]

I'm agreed there, the only things that have really caught my interest was the above, and their Pro controller. That thing looks rather intriguing, to say the least.

Ohh, a Rare classics collection? Wonder how well that'll turn out.
And a new IP. Wonder if it'll live up to the reputation of Rare's oldbies? Or will Yooka-Laylee win out?

Minecraft on HoloLens, bit gimmicky, but neat.

[Rayfist]

Honestly that was a massive trolling to their fans, very disgraceful. And the new IP looks like a very meh-ish MMORPG. Not interested
MGS V in 9 minutes. LETS GO.

[Bradandez]

Wait, I saw nothing from Rare. What the hell?

[OCG]

Wait, I saw nothing from Rare. What the hell?

Just a collection of RareWare games on Xbox One.

[Rayfist]

MGS V trailer released. This will be the last MGS trailer ever made by Kojima.

It honestly has me asking a lot of questions.

[Cairnie]

I can imagine I know a few peeps who would have loved to have a Rare collection, not for me though. So far the only game that stands out for me is Cuphead (the 1930's toon looking shmup game, if no one here has heard of it).

[Droolie]

My god, apparently a proper FF7 remake will get announced either at Sony's or at Square's conference. Various verified game industry people at NeoGAF as well as websites like Siliconera are reporting it. It's exciting to see all of NeoGAF go crazy over it, and I guess that kind of hype can be contagious.

And that combined with Yu Suzuki teasing something Shenmue-related over twitter after years of radio silence and with it being practically confirmed that The Last Guardian will be shown again... Well, if two of those three things happen this E3, I think E3 2015 might become one of the best E3s in years!

Did someone watch the EA conference? I don't remember if BioWare has its own one or if it's bound with their (devilish) owner.

EDIT:
Ubi conference would have been great if they hadn't chosen to bring up so many Tom Clancy games.
The idea of inviting Jason Derulo singing live for Just Dance was also good, provided he would have sung right. He's clearly not a good singer. His performance was awful.

Good stuff overall (in my opinion):
- ANNO
- TrackMania
- The Division
- For Honor

Also the new South Park game and the weird new Trials Fusion seemed pretty funny.

Rest was either meh (Tom Clancy AGAIN?) or so much expected there was 0 hype (AC Syndicate. But the cosplay...).

I don't want to talk about Rayman because of the amount of saltiness the lack of the aforementioned character that is going to arrive soon enough right there .

[OCG]

I disliked Ubisoft's E3 press conference. No Rayman, no BG&E2. I am sadly slowly losing hope in something good for anniversary. Although, I hope I am wrong.

[saerleiya]

Still hope for a Rayman on Smash, but it's all what's left. XD

[Haruka]

I knew we wouldn't have anything for our side this year so I am not affected by the lack of news. But seriously, Ubisoft! Did you really have to spoil the Tom Clancy fans? 3 game reveals in the same conference?!

So, a summary of this conference:

90% - Guns, war, kill, kill, explode.

5% - Cars

4% - Dance

1% - Cat riding a fire-breathing unicorn

That's it.

[Master]

You forgot to factor in the 15% of absolute cringe. (Memes. Seriously?)

In all seriousness though, I didn't find myself all too impressed with Ubi's offerings. I did find some interest in the Trackmania thing, but for the most part, I'm feeling rather underwhelmed.

So far, from the conferences, I think Bethesda have probably had it best. MS's was a bit dull for me, but I think they really stepped up from last year, focusing on the games. And well played in dropping the backwards compatibility bombshell, finally giving them something to edge over the PS4 with, given that neither next-gen console has really obtained a wholesome library yet. I didn't watch EA's, but from what I'm hearing, theirs wasn't all too inspiring.

Next up is Sony, in about an hour and a quarter, I don't know if I'll bother staying up for it, but I do wonder how they'll do. I'm still very excited over Ratchet and Clank, and I've got no doubt that it'll be a star offering during their conference.
