Topic: E3 2016 -OT-

@seanobi: Tabletennis was a brilliant game.

This! Do it Rockstar.

I cant believe Bethesda and EA had pants presentations. We need a new crash, wipeout and bioshock to get over the crap games reviewed so far.

@themcnoisy: A new WipEout would be so good! I didn't play that much of the PS1 originals but I absolutely loved WipEout HD, and 2048 on the Vita

@Kidfried: I'm honestly not expecting WipEout to show up, but it would be so great if it did.

Hope to see you in the chat later!

Guv@Quintumply: no wipeout

My top 6 games from the show;

1) Steep
2) Watchdogs 2
3) Southpark TFBH
4) Gravity Rush 2
5) Titanfall 2
6) Crash remastered

Great job Ubisoft after years of junk.

@themcnoisy No new WipEout

Still, Sony had a great show, and there's been plenty across the board to be excited about.

I haven't been able to catch the Gravity Rush 2 trailer yet! How's it looking?

@Quintumply: Boss, I never played the first one - but GR2 looks bloody brilliant!

I haven't seen Sony's show yet, so the only interesting game I've seen is South Park

@themcnoisy: The first game is good, I think you should maybe give it a go before you play GR2. I get the feeling it's going to be a huge jump in quality.

Is there still a chance of some FF7 at Squares show? :S

@kyleforrester87: You know you want watchdogs 2 lol.

@Quintumply: I may do, I should have more free time to play games later in the year. I'm also going to delete RL as its taken over my life.

@kyleforrester87: Unsure, its all Deus Ex and Final Fantasy 15 so far pre show. Fingers crossed.

@themcnoisy: Haha it was like that mission on GTA5 where you blow up the Life Invader CEO on stage, but stretched out into an entire game that thinks it has a legit point to make. Maybe I'm being too hard on it, could be fun.

I can live without some FF7 but to be fair I wanted to see Wolfenstein 2, Evil Within 2 and FF7 at this years E3 and so far I've had nada

@themcnoisy: "I'm also going to delete RL as its taken over my life."

...While I do not agree that your choice is the right one, I'm sure you know what you're doing.

Godspeed, noisy.

@Quintumply: You're talking to the guy who traded in Diablo 3 because he was "finished" with it - theirs no helping him.

My top 6 in reverse order:-

Honorable mentions first - Crash trilogy (no gameplay, just a mention so can't be higher), Dead Rising 4, Halo Wars 2, Battlefield 1 (just a reskinned BF4 with added dynamic weather), God of War (don't like GoW but the trailer almost had me wanting it), ME:A (could easily have been in my top 3 but so little shown - teased a lot of info in between the behind the scenes but wanted much more - especially with all the developer departures and expected release date)

6:- Scalebound/Spider-Man/Gears 4 - a joint 6th because each deserved to be mentioned and couldn't separate them
5:- Forza Horizon 3 - looked incredible and love the Australian setting just edged out those in 6th
4:- Titanfall 2 - enjoyed the first, second looks to address all the issues I had with that
3:- CoD:Infinite Warfare/CoD4:r - great looking campaign - I want this more than TF2 so really had to be on the list
2:- Days Gone - Biggest surprise and had the same 'wow' that Horizon had last year - best 'new' reveal/IP
1:- Horizon: Zero Dawn - Just made me want the game now! Most anticipated game in the next year!

Although I'm not interested in VR, one the big surprises for me was Batman: Arkham VR. Never thought Rocksteady would be working on another Batman game and for VR to boot.

@BAMozzy: Sad thing is after seeing that IW trailer it made me want the game even less, while I will say it's a nice looking game that would be a game I would enjoy watching more. Now Modern Warfare remaster that's the one I really want, a shame I can't just buy that game, but I understand the reasoning.

@Tasuki: Of course each to their own - I liked the central hub that allowed mission selection rather than end chapter 1, go to chapter 2, reach checkpoint and move directly to next, if you pass go 'collect £200'... The flight deck (or whatever that's called) reminded me of Aliens with the giant mech walking along - paint it yellow and wait for Ripley to step out. The Jackal is supposedly customisable too but its take-off reminded me a bit of the old Battlestar Galactica. The dog fighting looked great fun. The Zero G combat with the grapple hook gave combat a unique and interesting twist. A few different perspectives, cover opportunities, flanking manoeuvres etc. Certainly something that only this setting can provide. I quite enjoyed the few different kills this led to as well- like sticking a grenade to someone and pushing them off into space to explode. All in all it looked a lot of fun and varied with more option to decide what to undertake next - instead of run here, kill this, run there, kill that - rinse and repeat. Yes I know there are stealth sections and vehicle combat but generally its quite on rails or very linear and 'flat' (for want of a better word) because of gravity. With no gravity, that can change the combat without changing the combat - its gone from 360 to spherical essentially. Objects floating give different perspective to attack or for cover. The story is more grounded in realism and plausibility too so looking forward to playing through it. At least we know its traditional ballistic weaponry and the MP movement should be familiar after BO3 - something that should help newcomers to Titanfall 2.

My tastes are normally a bit different from a lot of Pushsquare gamers, but I can definitely say Playstation killed it with their E3 Conference. A number of games caught my eye, and those include Spiderman, Detroit: Become Human, and Days Gone. Steep isn't an exclusive, but it looks really fun and interesting as well.

I probably won't be able to afford a VR, but it's going to be tough to pass with games like Until Dawn: Rush of Blood and Arkham VR coming. Both of those sound really good, and Resident Evil 7 also looks interesting. I'm going to have to find some way to get some money for a VR or at least a handful of upcoming Playstation games! Haha

Call of Duty: Captain McGrappling Space Shooty looked quite good - will they be able to tell a coherent story though?!
