E3 2017 (1,231 views)

Whoops daisy, since E3 started earlier this year (thanks EA!), someone forgot to make a thread.

As such, this opening post will be a bit different. In order to help for the future, all interesting game announcements will be edited into this post.

EA:
Literally the only interesting announcement was a game from the developers of Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. The idea of co-op escape prison is neat, but probably won't be a heart wrenching as Brothers.

Microsoft:
hurr hurr what are exclusives?

Devolver Madness:

Ubisoft:
hurr hurr at least we got Miyamoto instead of Aisha Taylor


Most interesting videos:

Ori and the Will of the Wisps
The Last Night
The Evil Within 2
Beyond Good and Evil 2
Kingdom Hearts 3
Gran Turismo Sport
Shadow of the Colossus
Miyamoto and a Frenchman try to communicate in English

Unless something actually surprising happens, this will probably end up being the E3 with no games. Or 2017 will be known as the year without an E3

Sad times are these.

You didn't forget to make a thread so much as Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft forgot that it was E3, just like everyone else.

I heard there was a chance Nvidia and AMD might announce stuff about Volta and Vega at some point during E3. That'd be cool I guess.

That picture just makes me sad for the raccoon...

Microsoft has T-shirts at thier booth with the words "I witnessed the most powerful console ever" on them.

I wasn't planning on being entertained by Microsoft's conference, but it looks like it'll be a shitshow. I can't wait.

Don't worry, after a few times he figures out how to eat cotton candy I've seen the full video, he gets his treat in the end.

It's a quite fascinating that Sony announced the Pro with a simple, professional conference and watched the Pro get good sales. It was a pretty quiet release all things considered.

Meanwhile Microsoft thinks that this is a dick waving contest, and are overhyping Scorpio to the point that it is a joke. I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes E3 1998 with the X-games and WWF-style commentating with explosions and text on fire and people screaming at how FUCKING GNARLY their console is.

Ah, old E3... It was a wild time.

It'll probably just be boring and everyone will complain about its price and that it has no games.

[Mario the black knight]

It's like Microsoft and Sony have stolen each other's worst strategies

Now Sony has the paid internet service, first dibs on CoD DLC, and no reverse compatability, and Microsoft is selling the giant overpriced rig with no games.

[pichubro]

We all know who sold more units using those strategies.

[Mario the black knight]

They both should lose, because they are both terrible strategies

Too bad theres no competition

[pichubro]

I double checked the schedule, and Sony isn't until tomorrow night. I won't be able to watch it live, unfortunately.

[Mario the black knight]

Jeez, must be hiding it, thats not a good sign.

Well, if no new trailers come out tomorrow night, we'll know nothing happened.

[pichubro]

Hiding what? They are always on Mondays and E3 starting yesterday threw me off.

[Mario the black knight]

I thought it was usually on saturday or sunday

[pichubro]

Nah, always Monday.

[Mario the black knight]

I guess we didn't used to have stuff to do on Mondays

[pichubro]

Scorpio renamed to Xbox One X.

It's so stupid hahahs

[pichubro]

Might as well call it X Box One X (Box One X (Box One X (Box One X)))

[pichubro]

"The smallest Xbox ever" as if that's hard to do. The crowd's fake reaction to liquid cooling though, hahaha

[Mario the black knight]

I'm pretty convinced at this point that Microsoft is trying to make it's hardware hard to buy so they have an excuse to get out of the hardware business, since they suck at it.

[pichubro]

Look at our Porche!

[Mario the black knight]

Do hardware developers not get the point of consoles valuing stability over power?

If we wanted super overkill high powered machines that cost a bajillion dollars, we'd just buy ridiculous "gaming" PCs.

The whole point of a good console is the fact that it's bang for buck, cheap and accessable, being powerful, while also being convenient. The absolute best performance you can get for the lowest amount of money possible.

[pichubro]

They are selling this car more than the game. Is the Porsche a pre-order bonus?

[Mario the black knight]

At this point it would have to be to get anyone to buy one of these things.
