@MightyDemon82 Slower, less action-based and more slanted towards the 'adventure' genre. Honestly, Shenmue is kinda hard to pigeonhole, but if you want to truly find out how the games are, then all I can say is play them and find out for yourself. If you like Yakuza then there's already a good chance you'll dig Shenmue, and the HD collection can be purchased for very cheap now.
Sabi represents the absolute worst of attention-whore insiders and insider culture. It's a shame Nintendo didn't go further than just that cease and desist order.
If Sony skips E3 next year and does their own thing, then I'll see that as an unequivocal sign that E3 is on the decline. Otherwise, yeah, I think it's still relevant.
The only sore point is that Double Fine aren't on PS platforms anymore, beyond Psychonauts 2 and Knights & Bikes. Otherwise, there was nothing in that conference that'll make Sony sweat. Looks like they made a wise decision in skipping E3 after all.
@johncalmc Nah, I think the Microsoft conference is going to be a winner. Especially since they have their pick of the litter concerning third-party game announcements.
When DayZ was announced for the PS4, we hadn't even heard of Days Gone yet, and Days Gone feels like it was announced an aeon ago. Yet Days Gone still managed to come out before DayZ, which makes one question why exactly it took so long for DayZ to be ported over when the far more ambitious Days Gone supposedly spent less days in development. This is something I'll be mulling over for the dayz to come.
I know Days Gone is already deemed commercially successful and all that, but I'm agreed with Sammy in that the world doesn't really feel like it needs a sequel. Days Gone just doesn't stand out enough to warrant it. But imagine what a current-gen Syphon Filter with big production values and lots of in-depth stealth mechanics could do, and how much of a breath of fresh air it would be. It gets my blood pumping just thinking about it.
If Devolver's conference is a reason to stay excited then I'm giving E3 a wide berth this year. Their schtick is basically a Tim & Eric sketch without the laughs.
I'd have had Detroit at the top spot personally. Can't believe how good that game looks on current-gen hardware. It really is like having an early glimpse into the PS5.

So if there were no grammatical errors, the game would be a 10 out of 10?
Re: PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale 2 Will Be a Capcom-Made PS5 Launch Title, Says Totally Bogus Sounding Rumour

Re: Reaction: Gamescom 2019 Reminds Us That Studios Are Focused on PS5 Right Now
Considering how well Kojima has aged, you'd think he would be a bit more eager to get his hair cut by someone who isn't his mother.

Damn, you guys work fast. Game isn't even two days old and you've got a review out already.
Re: Sony Buys Spider-Man PS4, Ratchet & Clank Developer Insomniac Games
Kudos for announcing it via a random Twitter post and not in front of an audience full of Sony fans as part of the E3 hype machine.

Slooooooow month. Nothing of interest there for me.
Re: New Shenmue III Screenshots Show Chai, Fully Playable Arcade
These screenshots and the new trailer reflect far better on the game than what we saw at E3.

That's... really not much cop is it. Goes to show how hard it is to predict these things unless you have insider knowledge.
Re: Talking Point: Is E3 Still Relevant?
If Sony skips E3 next year and does their own thing, then I'll see that as an unequivocal sign that E3 is on the decline. Otherwise, yeah, I think it's still relevant.

Poor Push Square. Sony's giving you guys next-to-nothing to do during E3 this year.
