This trailer killed any excitement I had. Walking around and sneaking past shadow monsters? Wow. Totally breathtaking gameplay right there.
People can defend the lack of story explanation all they want, but "it's a Kojima game" isn't a good enough excuse for me. At some point they need to give us some idea about what's going on if they want people who aren't already die-hard Kojima fanboys to care.
Ghost of Tsushima and TLoU2 look beautiful and are day ones for me. Spiderman looks really good too. That Death Stranding trailer told me nothing other than that you can walk around in the game and there are creepy monsters.
@ShogunRok Looks a bit like High Rock? Hammerfell is supposed to be mostly desert, so I doubt it's that. Apparently it has mountain ranges and grasslands as well though, so who knows.
It was good. Some solid announcements here. A DOOM sequel, confirmation of The Elder Scrolls 6 being a PS5 game, a Starfield announcement, and Fallout 76 could actually be fun if it's done right. I'm gonna wait for reviews on 76, but it looks pretty good.
I'm a massive Elder Scrolls fan, so I'm very excited for this game. Would have liked to see more, obviously, but oh well. At least we know that it's probably a PS5 game.
Not impressed. Surely there's more to it, but this trailer just looks like a kid playing make-believe in his backyard. Not exactly a thrilling concept.
It's certainly a lot prettier than other Fallout games, which are major eyesores. (I get that it makes sense considering the setting, but still, pretty games they are not)
Rest in peace. Relegated to (IMO) the worst of The Big 3 consoles. It's probably a good thing in the long run, because a strong Xbox is better for the industry as a whole, but it's still a shame for non-Xbox owners.
Gotta be a tie between The Last of Us: Part II and Cyberpunk 2077. They both have so much potential.
Also excited to see Ghost of Tsushima and Death Stranding, but I'm not as excited for those games, considering we know basically nothing about them. I'm more excited for GoT out of those 2, though.
@Octane I'm still holding out hope for more than that on the first party front, especially with the Gamestop SKU's that popped up recently, but we'll see. Maybe Sony blows it out of the water and Nintendo's is extremely low-key. Who knows.
Looks intriguing. I'm interested in seeing more. Life is Strange could be a little cringy at times, but it was a solid game, so I'm expecting this to at least be pretty good.
Sweet. I've enjoyed watching this for the past couple years, so I'm looking forward to this one as well. Fingers crossed for more moments like the interview with the A Way Out guy.
Don't care to see TLoU or Spider-Man. I've seen enough of the latter, and the former is just gonna be more Last of Us. Death Stranding and Ghost of Tsushima are the games I care about seeing. Death Stranding needs to do a lot to sell me though, because the more cinematic trailers showing nothing that they give us, the less I care about the game. My hype is basically non-existent at this point.
All the weirdness and showing things while simultaneously showing nothing is getting tiresome for me. I get that they're going for a whole mysterious vibe, and it's cool, but I just want to know what the game actually is.
If it's just another cinematic trailer that shows weird things like pregnant men or figures floating over a crater and doesn't give us any idea of how the game plays or anything, I'll be disappointed.
If we don't see gameplay at this E3, any hype I had for this game will have basically gone down the drain. I already don't have much hype for it to begin with, since right now it's just a vague concept and I've never played a Kojima game or know much about his games in general, so I don't know exactly what to expect.
@Juvenlast That much is true. Their stories are definitely very good. I'm confident that I'll like it, especially since vampires done well are much more interesting than something like yet another zombie apocalypse story IMO, but I still want to wait for reviews just to be safe.
I'm pretty much done with Call of Duty at this point. Most modern shooters have gotten stale for me. If I'm gonna play an online game, it's gonna be something like Smash Bros, not this.
I found last years conference kind of annoying and hard to watch, but I'll watch this one again if I have the time. Maybe I'll enjoy it more than I did the last one.
I'm not sure if they made it quite clear enough that it's a game. I think a decent number of people driving by will overlook the PS4 logo in the corner and just think "Oh, Spider-man." Most people will probably see it, though.

Looks great. Day one.

Re: Talking Point: Did Sony PlayStation's E3 2018 Press Conference Deliver?
Ghost of Tsushima and TLoU2 look beautiful and are day ones for me. Spiderman looks really good too. That Death Stranding trailer told me nothing other than that you can walk around in the game and there are creepy monsters.
Re: Talking Point: Was Ubisoft's E3 2018 Press Conference on Form?
It was okay. Not good, not awful.
Re: E3 2018: The Quiet Man Makes Some Noise on PS4
Looks intriguing. Need to see more obviously, since they showed us extremely little.

Re: E3 2018: Starfield Is Real, Sci-Fi Title Likely to Launch on PS5
I'm excited. If it's anything like The Elder Scrolls, I'm in.
Re: Talking Point: Was Bethesda's Press Conference Brilliant or a Bust?
It was good. Some solid announcements here. A DOOM sequel, confirmation of The Elder Scrolls 6 being a PS5 game, a Starfield announcement, and Fallout 76 could actually be fun if it's done right. I'm gonna wait for reviews on 76, but it looks pretty good.
Re: E3 2018: Doom Eternal Announced With Hellishly Good Teaser
Fingers crossed for a Switch port. If the 2016 Doom can run on it, there's a chance that this one can.

I'm a massive Elder Scrolls fan, so I'm very excited for this game. Would have liked to see more, obviously, but oh well. At least we know that it's probably a PS5 game.

Re: E3 2018: Fallout 76 Is Four Times the Size of Fallout 4
It's certainly a lot prettier than other Fallout games, which are major eyesores. (I get that it makes sense considering the setting, but still, pretty games they are not)
I'm excited to see more tonight.
Re: E3 2018: Ninja Theory Will No Longer Make PS4 Games
Rest in peace. Relegated to (IMO) the worst of The Big 3 consoles. It's probably a good thing in the long run, because a strong Xbox is better for the industry as a whole, but it's still a shame for non-Xbox owners.
Re: E3 2018: From Software's New Game Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Announced
Not interested in this genre. I wish From would make something else for a change.
Re: E3 2018: Cyberpunk 2077 Kicks Back with An Incredible Trailer
It looks really neat. I'm interested.
Re: E3 2018: Beat Saber Brings Brilliant Rhythm Violence to PSVR
That actually looks pretty darn cool.
Re: Guide: What Time Is EA's E3 2018 Press Conference?
I don't really care all that much, but I'll watch just because I'm excited for E3 and I want to see how EA will ruin their own games this time.
Re: Poll: What's Your Most Anticipated PS4 Game of E3 2018?
Gotta be a tie between The Last of Us: Part II and Cyberpunk 2077. They both have so much potential.
Also excited to see Ghost of Tsushima and Death Stranding, but I'm not as excited for those games, considering we know basically nothing about them. I'm more excited for GoT out of those 2, though.

Re: E3 2018: Twin Mirror Is a Dark Psychological Thriller from Life Is Strange's Dev
Looks intriguing. I'm interested in seeing more. Life is Strange could be a little cringy at times, but it was a solid game, so I'm expecting this to at least be pretty good.
Re: Talking Point: How Can Sony Win E3 2018?
I think Nintendo's gonna win this for me. I'm not expecting much from Sony. Pretty sure this will be a pretty chill E3 for them.
Re: The Game Awards Will Return on 6th December
Sweet. I've enjoyed watching this for the past couple years, so I'm looking forward to this one as well. Fingers crossed for more moments like the interview with the A Way Out guy.
Re: Soapbox: Spider-Man's E3 2018 Showing Needs to Come Out Swingin'
I don't feel like seeing more is very necessary. I've seen more than enough at this point.
Re: Review: Vampyr (PS4)
That's really too bad. This game could have been great. I'll probably just wait for a sale or get it on PS+ if it ever comes there.
Re: Poll: Which PS4 Exclusive Has You Most Hyped at Sony's E3 2018 Showcase?
Don't care to see TLoU or Spider-Man. I've seen enough of the latter, and the former is just gonna be more Last of Us. Death Stranding and Ghost of Tsushima are the games I care about seeing. Death Stranding needs to do a lot to sell me though, because the more cinematic trailers showing nothing that they give us, the less I care about the game.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 222
Been playing the Beta for Mario Tennis Aces. Very fun game.
Re: God of War PS4 is On Track to Amass 1 Billion YouTube Views in Record Time
But that's not possible! People don't care about single player games anymore!
Re: Talking Point: Do We Really Need E3?
The gaming industry would get by without it, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't exist. I get more excited about E3 than I do for any holiday.
Re: Assassin's Creed Odyssey Leaked Via Collectible Keychain
The ultimate goal will be assassinating the evil mayor Pauline in New Donk City.
Re: Report: Fallout 76 Is Not a Traditional Single Player Role-Playing Game
I've had my fill of these games long ago. I'll keep an eye on it, but I very much doubt it'll be something I'll buy.
Re: June PlayStation Plus Games Announced
Not a big fan of XCOM. Probably won't bother with it.
Re: Bethesda Is Teasing Something Fallout Related
Please give us a remaster of New Vegas. I've heard so many good things about that game, and I'd love to play a better version of it.
Re: Feature: The Promising PS4 Games of June 2018
Vampyr all the way. I just hope it's good.
Re: Soapbox: Death Stranding Is an E3 2018 Enigma, and That's Exciting
@DLB3 We mustn't speak of that occasion. I still wake up at night screaming because of it.

Re: H1Z1: Battle Royale Is Blowing Up Big Time on PS4
I'm pretty much burned out on this genre at this point.
Re: Review: Dark Souls Remastered (PS4)
No thanks. I had some fun with Bloodborne, but ultimately I don't think these games are for me. They're still really well-made, though.
Re: H1Z1: Battle Royale Open Beta Is Available to Download Now on PS4
Next thing you know, Animal Crossing: Battle Royale will be announced at E3.
Re: Bethesda's Probably Gunning for Another Short and Sweet E3 Press Conference
@Ackbar7 I'd be down with that, especially if they do something about the NPC faces in Oblivion. Those are just hard to look at.
Re: Bethesda's Probably Gunning for Another Short and Sweet E3 Press Conference
Good. Conferences that are much longer than an hour usually have quite a bit of filler.
@Ackbar7 Not happening IMO.
Re: Hideo Kojima Has Been Cutting Death Stranding's E3 2018 Trailer
If we don't see gameplay at this E3, any hype I had for this game will have basically gone down the drain. I already don't have much hype for it to begin with, since right now it's just a vague concept and I've never played a Kojima game or know much about his games in general, so I don't know exactly what to expect.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 220
God of War, and maybe some Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on the Switch. Splatoon 2 is also an option.
Re: Moody Action RPG Vampyr Goes Gold Ahead of Release Next Month
@Juvenlast That much is true. Their stories are definitely very good. I'm confident that I'll like it, especially since vampires done well are much more interesting than something like yet another zombie apocalypse story IMO, but I still want to wait for reviews just to be safe.
Re: God of War's First Boss Fight Was Originally Two to Three Times Longer
One of the most memorable boss fights I've had in recent years. The way the landscape gets torn apart as you fight really makes it feel epic.
Re: Moody Action RPG Vampyr Goes Gold Ahead of Release Next Month
I'll wait for reviews. The premise sounds great, but I'm not entirely convinced on the execution yet. I need to see more first.
Re: Poll: What Do You Think of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4?
I'm pretty much done with Call of Duty at this point. Most modern shooters have gotten stale for me. If I'm gonna play an online game, it's gonna be something like Smash Bros, not this.
Re: Oh God, Devolver Digital's Doing Another E3 Press Conference
I found last years conference kind of annoying and hard to watch, but I'll watch this one again if I have the time. Maybe I'll enjoy it more than I did the last one.
Re: Spider-Man is Set to Swing Across the LA Skyline with Huge E3 2018 Ad
@get2sammyb Ahh, somehow I missed the fact that it was a WIP. My bad.

Re: RAGE 2 Is Open World, Being Made by Just Cause and Mad Max Developer
@Undead21 Apparently saying a game doesn't look like my kind of thing is whining now? Okay then.
