I'm hoping we get a whole scoop on Quake Champions (with a possible release date). And I'd put money on both of those teased announcements being Wolfenstein and The Evil Within 2.

I really like that design. If it was in a Pro console I'd snap it up in a flash.

Not sure I'd put money on it being released next year, but I'd expect an announcement of sorts next year at least.

C'mon Zack and Wiki 2... okay then... Monster Hunter.

But if for some reason this turned out to be a new Mega Man Battle Network with online play, I'd be stoked! Well, I'm guessing we'll know in just over a month!

I'd definitely love a new Bloodborne, but I have a feeling this might be a new IP, which I'd also welcome with open arms.

I'm potentially interested, but I'll need to see more. Namely, I want to see standard gameplay running and details on what the mechanics of multi-player are going to be. Is this the same game with a different skin? Or are they going to change quite a lot? Or possibly strip it down a bit?

Anytime a company claims they can't release an older title I can now say: "If they re-released Night Trap, you can re-release anything".

Why not through in D just for the hell of it?

I think Capcom are changing their act up and paying a lot more attention to how people perceive them, at least with Resident Evil VII. I think it's quite a classy move.

In all honesty, I'd dig a wearable Aku Aku mask.

Giggidy.

Yeah, that's a pretty weird conclusion to come to. Also, from whispers I've heard they hadn't really started recording/filming the other sections of the game properly until late last year, so I highly doubt that an future projects would have much focus anyway.

@Quintumply That reply makes you a class act man. That's awesome. And also thanks for the review.

I see there's no "rush" to post more puns in the comments.

But seriously, thanks for the chuckles on the puns.

I think thats's the thing, because it's EA everyone is wondering if they're going to replace it with something even worse. But here's hoping it works out for the best.

The trailer for this story mode feels a bit generic, but here's hoping the game looks good. Plus, for story stuff we still have the game Amy Hennig is working on.

This looks ridiculously up my street. I've heard the name in passing but didn't know much about it. I shall certainly pick this up!

Maybe I'm an old stickler, but I do prefer the bigger press conferences. But I actually think Sony has started doing something of their own by introducing PSX. They've started a precedent for E3 and PSX both bringing exciting announcements so I think they're already doing their own take on spreading things out.

I do like Nintendo Directs for some things. They can put a lot of personality into the videos and put it out there instantly. But it also has its drawbacks. You can risk spreading yourself too thin when detailing announcements, and sometimes the comedy aspect can override the announcements. With the E3 Direct in 2015, the comedy stuff surrounding it was better than the actual announcements.

To be honest I hope they keep the E3 and PSX conferences. Maybe one in the Spring would be good, but I can't help but always look forward to the big build up to larger conferences. And with last year's PSX, and the last two E3 conferences, Sony have knocked it out the park.

@get2sammyb It's good to see that justice shall prevail. Although the response of no one else wanting to did give me a good chuckle!

I think the most random addition to this is Opoona, even though I do like the obscurity of it.

Will Robert Ramsey get to review Robert Ramsey: The Video Game?

It's a gallery of Kaz Hirai wearing nothing but tight swimming trunks.

I see this as quite an interesting shift considering their last games released first on Microsoft platforms. I would say more recent games but with Remedy that doesn't exactly apply, as much as I love them.

I'll also back @BAMozzy up on Alan Wake. Its strongest aspect was its narrative for sure, and there are some moments of genius near the end of it.

Well, it can't be harder to hold than that Resident Evil 4 chainsaw controller!

It's a strange one for sure. Microsoft got off to a bad start with the Xbox One initially so it makes sense for them to go all in on Scorpio. Whereas Sony has done really well with the PS4 so far, so I think they may have been afraid of upsetting some of their audience.

I think things will become a lot more clear when Microsoft show their full hand with Scorpio. Hardware is nice but if it doesn't have titles that are either exclusive, or obviously best on Scorpio (or possibly an extension of their game subscription service), I find it hard to believe there will be a huge early adoption of it.

But with all of these hardware upgrades I can't help but think we're in a sort of space race Cold War situation.

@FullbringIchigo Yeah, the world was more open in the first one. It's a shame why they dropped it afterwards. However, I love the soundtrack in the Ninja Storm series, especially number two.

Yeah, it is a bit hard to tell what they're going for as they're talking about freedom of movement in the trailer. If I were to hazard a guess, I'd say it's going to be more of an arena fighter but I'm not entirely sure. Only time will tell!

Hmm, in that case this might still be a ways off, unless they've had access to a lot of what's going on in the manga and/or anime.

It's going to be fun to find out!

@FullbringIchigo I definitely agree that The Broken Bond is the better of the two, and it's hard to go back to Rise of a Ninja after that; they improved a lot about it. I think for me it's more about the direction and feel of the game. I liked having Naruto as a more open-world game, as it felt more like I was in that world, and I enjoyed the fighting system; it felt like you had more agency as a player in the fights, whereas the Ninja Storm series felt a bit more closed in that way. Ninja Storm feels a bit more straightforward and is about the spectacle, which is fine, it just depends on what you prefer in terms of the approach to fighting and exploration.

I didn't know that about the series licenses, and I wondered why that was the case, so thank you for the explanation; it fills it on why everything was so messy then!

Either way, we can both agree on our excitement on this upcoming game. Who knows, we might get in a game or two if it turns out to be good!

Wow, this is something I didn't realise I wanted but I'm already super excited for this!

@FullbringIchigo Funnily enough I actually really liked the Ubisoft games for Xbox 360. Horses for course and that.

To be honest I think they'll find their own niche with a lot of Steam or GOG users, regardless of a possible Call of Duty return.

I think there's a swathe of people who would like to return to the period but without all of the added mechanics.

Either way, I'm so glad I backed this!

Glad this is getting another go this generation as it seemed to fly past everyone the first time around.

F*ck yes. I'm seriously pleased for this. Whilst I don't think Jak 2 or 3 are bad by any stretch, I will always prefer the more colourful platforming-focused approach of the first game.

It's okay 2017, you can calm down now.

And yet another case for why 2017 is insanely brilliant for video games.

Am I the only one who finds it weird that they're releasing a demo now? Also, it sold surprisingly well as I recall.

This was always my favourite of the series so I'm glad to see it come back, even if Stardew Valley might've overtaken the series!

It goes to show my level of engagement with popular culture when I had to research the phenomenon known as, "the Dab".

But anyway, I think I'll get in on this. Possibly in a video submission.

I reckon this will be coming out at the end of the year. And unless they've got a big megaton announcement, I'd wager it'll be their closer at E3 with a specific release date.

In Japan they almost did it with the main series games for GameCube and the PS3.

C'mon Capcom, go the whole hog and release 'em all with a limited run of a boxset with every bloody game in it. You know you want to!

...but you can leave out 6. No one will notice.

The one on the left looks like it could be a reboot for the movie Critters.

I don't want to come across as a Debbie Downer, but I'd love it if they just did a game full of the modern Sonic levels from Generations. Or Sonic Adventure 3! Still I have a feeling this will still be great.

As someone who never really got into Mass Effect, I'm glad for once to just lean back and let the sparks fly. This should be fun!

Yes! I always loved the daytime levels in Unleashed and Sonic Generations so I'm all for this!

I actually thought the writing was quite good in Sonic Generations with some of the humour, so hopefully they'll maintain some of that if they choose to keep a sense of narrative.

Rock Band? The Dane Cook of music video games?

Bloody hell 2017, slow down already!

I'd actually put money on this being out before the end of the year. And I chose a month I'd say early December. I think all will be revealed at E3!

Yeah, I haven't known a year be this good in quite some time. It's getting to the point where one will be able to take a bath in all the game cases, Scrooge McDuck style.

Every piece of footage we get for this fills my heart with joy.

I actually prefer this attitude a lot more to the cut-throat approach in the 90s. I remember the journalist Kyle Bosman recalling that Shuhei Yoshida was really excited about Zelda at the last E3, so expect more of this friendly approach in the future. I'm all for it!

Hurray! I've been intrigued by this one for a while. I have a feeling it'll be Horizon's darker sister.

If it was in Norwich, the place would be filled with greenery and overgrown landscapes... so not much different.

Sunset Overdrive is fantastic. I bought an Xbox One for it (which I later sold) and it is amazing. I'd happily buy it again and it's a shame it didn't get the fanfare it rightfully deserves.

Two words sum up the experience for me: "PIGEON COMBO!"

I've been meaning to listen to Sir Mix-a-Lot recently.

I think it's always going to sell well in the UK. PlayStation always seemed to be in sync with the British public. Of course, they marketed it well but for some reason the UK often is a PlayStation place if you will. And naturally, Crash Bandicoot is seen is one of THE games for the system.
