@jdv95 I completely agree with you. I haven't even bought an AC for years. Unity really left a bad sting in my mouth. It's just too crowded this Winter now for Splinter Cell, especially after Blacklist, the last one, was commercially disappointing. Mind you, it would appeal lots to single player gamers. There's not much else coming out for single player either. We'll have to wait and see.
@BearsEatBeets It will be interesting to see how the release dates fit in, but I think we're getting AC Odyssey in Winter 2018, Splinter Cell in February 2019 and The Division 2 in March 2019. Christmas is too early for Splinter Cell, as it's not even been officially confirmed yet. The first Division did very well in it's release date, so I think Ubisoft will use the same marketing strategy. AC is a safe bet for Ubisoft at Christmas as it's their flagship series. It makes a lot of sense for them.
Personally, I'd really like to see Watch Dogs 3 get announced on Monday. I'm a huge fan of the series and I'm very excited for The Crew 2, it looks so fun, even though I hated the first.
I had DOA 4 back on the Xbox 360 (I know xd) but I missed DOA 5: Last Round due to its business model. I loved it though! A really nice, slick fighting game, full of eye candy, which does something very different with the genre.
I really enjoyed the first one. This looked good, but I'd prefer it as a more story-driven single player experience like the first one. The story was very charming and powerful in the first game.
Disappointing. I was expecting something fresh and ground-breaking from the reveal, as it really impressed me at E3 2017. But, it just looked extremely by-the-numbers. Good production values, but you would expect that anyways. Days Gone looks better than this.
Disappointing.... and it was going so well before. It just looked like a free-to-play game to me with some production values. It was my favourite game of E3 2017 as well. Oh well, onwards and upwards with a different title instead.
Yeah that was pretty crap. I was really disappointed by Anthem. I was very intrigued by it last year but it looked rubbish here. Presentation was terrible. Unravel 2 was okay, but I think it would work better as a single player narrative game like the first one. Sea Of Solitude looked rough around the edges and I couldn't care less about Battlefield V as a non-shooter fan. Even worse than last year, but at least we got a few reveals, unlike the event in past years.
This looks great and as there's nothing coming out this Xmas that excites me, apart from the rumoured Splinter Cell if that comes out at Christmas, I may buy this. I loved LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, I haven't played the sequel yet.
I've been wanting to play Homefront: The Revolution but I've never bought it due to the negative reviews. It's been a long while since it came out so that would be a good shout!
Leaked script: "Coming in 2019: Microtransactions, loot boxes and you guessed it, even more microtransactions. You all hate them but we don't care. Have a great time at E3. Goodnight. Oh, we almost forgot, here's Battlefield V..."
Meredith Molinari. And her legs. Enough said. She is gorgeous. Ohhh how my 19 year old self dreams and fantasises in the annual E3 period about having an actual chance with her one day 😟
From a games perspective, Watch Dogs are my favourites. So, I'd naturally like to see Watch Dogs 3 get revealed. A DOOM sequel too, as I loved the first one, but it might not happen yet as they're doing RAGE 2 with Avalanche. The rumoured Splinter Cell game would be awesome too. I've never played Splinter Cell. I've always wanted to but stuff has got in the way each time. Ohhh, and it's ridiculously unlikely, but a Simpsons Hit and Run Remaster (Or even a sequel?) Would easily be a dream confirmation for me too.
@jdv95 Yeah man, I loved the first two. I hope EW2 sold enough copies to warrant a third instalment being made although it will be hard to approach it from a story standpoint due to the conclusive ending of the second game.
I'd love for DOOM 2 to be announced. The first was brilliant but I'm not too sure yet because they are co-developing RAGE 2 with Avalanche Studios right now.
This looks good, but the first one was very mediocre. With this one, it's quite clear they got the idea from STEEP, although, don't forget how Ubisoft are very good with doing sequels.
Thanks guys. Yeah, I think this could be a fun game but the visuals and physics still aren't great. The first one was pretty bad. Horrific story and dialogue. It looks suspiciously like Steep to me. I think they've obviously taken the idea from that.
1. Spider-Man 2. ANTHEM 3. Need For Speed Payback 4. Star Wars Battlefront II 5. Knack 2
Honourable mentions go to The Evil Within 2, Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, Shadow Of War, South Park TFBW, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2, Agents Of Mayhem and the Dishonored story expansion.
@BAMozzy Hi there, yeah i completely agree with your comment. I still think Crew 2 has potential, but i'm still not sure if there will be any soul to it and if it will feel very mechanical. NFS Payback has a story and context around the gameplay with it's F&F vibes. The one before was really good imo so i'm fairly excited for the new one!
@BAMozzy Sorry for the slow reply. I've been working on exams and assessments at sixth form. Anyways, I completely agree with you. The first Crew was pretty mediocre, the story and dialogue were horrific and it didn't do anything at all memorable for me. The idea of multiple vehicles kind of gives me Steep vibes, which is a great game by the way. I wonder if you can switch them off the fly. I really enjoyed the 2015 version of Need For Speed because it's live-action cutscenes were actually pretty decent and the underground, urban vibe was a great landscape. Payback looks a bit different, but I definitely agree with you that it has more oompth and ambition. Mind you, you never know about Crew 2, it might end up being a really good sequel like AC2 or TF2. I'd still advise you to give it an open mind until previews start coming out.
I liked getting to see my dream gf, the lovely Meredith Molinari, the most. Ohhhh how i dream. But, since that's not an option on the list, i would have to go with either ANTHEM, Knack 2 or Spider-Man PS4
I think it's a shame they seem to have cancelled the series due to the latest entry being a flop as it was once a great series. However, it was not necessary to make more and I feel Andromeda was very poor quality. Not a suprise due to a lack of footage and marketing. I'm in two ways about this, but I'm slightly more leaning towards the negative.
@PapaShuffler Cheers, i did check GameStop but it only works in the US... but i live in the UK! Much appreciated for the thought though! I would probably get it next time it's reduced in a sale.
Sorry it may be a little off-topic, but does anyone know how De-Formers is doing review-wise, as i'm struggling to find them. I'm quite interested in that little game... This looks great too though!
@JoeBlogs Oh ok, nevermind. It's just a game. They are remastering everything nowadays though, so there might be a remastered edition come to PS4 one day. Don't hold your breath though.
@get2sammyb I wouldn't hold my breath though and it will probably be a new IP. The developers are keen on making it but there not sure if it would be financially viable and many years have passed since the last game, not to mention nobody really knows who holds the rights to the franchise. Mind you, with so much Kickstarters and Crowdfunding going around today, you never know. They could end up making AW2 one day, or maybe a spiritual successor to the game.
@JoeBlogs I remember playing it a few years ago and i really enjoyed it. It's an atmospheric, story-driven third person action game and it has a very offbeat, interesting psychological thriller storyline and the core gameplay experience is a little bit similar to Until Dawn. It's got a cult following and many people have said it deserves to get a sequel for years. The new Prey that's coming out reminds me of that game. Well worth a look. It's probably only a few quid now if you're interested and you own a 360. I enjoyed it, my sister got obsessed with it, and i'm sure you would if my description appeals to you.
A little disappointed then. I was thinking of getting it, but i think i'm going to get Prey instead, at least for now. I'm not suprised though due to the lacklustre build to launch over the last few years, such as the lack of footage, poor marketing and lack of promotion. Perhaps EA and Bioware didn't feel they had enough confidence in their product? It's a shame!

If I'm honest, I was too busy looking at Meredith ❤️ the game looks good, I guess....
Re: E3 2017: The Crew 2 Looks Like an Automotive Playground on PS4
