E3 Thread - June 14-16, 2016

I thought the Sony presser was good, but at least in theater I felt there was no clear definition of when they quit showing VR games (didn't know for sure until COD popped up) and the ending seemed quick/forced. Did some original plan/trailer fall through?

The VR stuff didn't drag on too long (thank goodness) and seemed cooler than I expected - but it just screams 'watered down experience' and not worth full price. Maybe I am wrong on that.

Without watching the Ubisoft presser yet, I think I would say Sony, Microsoft, and Bethesda all had good/great conferences. EA didn't have bad games, but just didn't deliver much in excitement or pacing IMO. They were OK/good, nothing more.

Overall, a very solid year but I don't think anything blew me away or leaves me clamoring for a new title - unless something emerges this week during the show.

Days Gone = TLOU 2. I got a very similar and cool vibe. The Detroit game looked cool. I hate the opening of the God of War video. He acted like a jackass to his kid. Was never a huge GOW fan.

Games can perform better on Xbox One S
Better frame rates and higher resolution are possible on Microsoft's slimmer console


According to Fergusson, the Xbox One S has additional raw GPU and CPU power compared to the Xbox One, and The Coalition's engineers have been able to take advantage of that to reduce the frequency of frame rate or resolution penalties in more demanding sections of the game.

Apparently there's a Bulletstorm Remaster in the works.

Someone at E3 tweeted that they got a thumb drive full of folders and stuff with various ID@Xbox games. One of those folders was titled Bulletstorm Remaster with a couple images inside.

That game was fun!

Yes it was! I think I got it either for free via Games with Gold or took a gamble on it while on sale for a very low prices a couple years back. I had a blast from start to finish in that game. Not many games got me to laugh so much playing it that my body started hurting. The lines in that game were pure gold! I still have a bunch of the lines memorized because of how funny they were.

It was also a unique way to play a shooter.

Yeah, it was definitely different from the run of the mill shooters. First time playing it, I wasn't sure I was going to like the controls and the way the combat was set up, but it very quickly grew on me. I may have to fire up my 360 sometime over the next couple weeks and go through that game again.

Well just read some of this 30+ page thread on how there will be no female playable character in Zelda and that they did not make link a girl. (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1233515)

Nothing verified, but rumors Red Dead Redemption 2 was pulled from the Sony presser following the Orlando shooting. (Red Dead Redemption 2 Pulled From Sony’s E3 Presser Read more at http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2016/06/15/report-red-dead-redemption-2-pulled-from-e3/#SlhQWPFEJuyqRHmQ.99)

I wish I had the time or inclination to be able to get worked up over such trivial matters. I had no clue there were people who cared so much about the gender of a fictional character.

Neogaf has turned into a portal for SJW's. Honestly I try not to read stuff over there anymore, outside of getting gaming news. This was just too funny because the first reply and of course the subject at hand.


Wow, first Alison Rapp and now this. Nintendo really hates women.

If you have no idea who Alison Rapp is she worked for Nintendo as a PR rep. Tossing aside her misguided view on pedophiles, she worked part time as an escort along with her husband who served as her cuckold. She also flaunted lingerie shots on her twitter, some with Nintendo products in the image. Neogaf wanted to hide these things that would dare make a female look bad (instead of victim) so they stopped allowing threads on Nintendo firing her. Because a family oriented game company should look away at things like this.

That would make zero sense. If people are that sensitive, then we wouldn't have a Battlefield 1, Call of Duty, Detroit, Days Gone promo.

The supposed rumor is that the scene in the RDR trailer took place in a brothel/bar and a bunch of innocent people were running around scared. I typically wouldn't give much credence to the rumor but (while I haven't watched it) everyone says that the way the presser ended was awkward and disconnected. That said, they had well over 24 hours to create a new clip to replace it and produce a new trailer; they could have gotten it done if they wanted to.

Some game developers and game journalists tweets and a long article crying about it. Trust me these are just a few of the special snowflakes in the industry that are just that sensitive.

Who would think that guys named "Jonathan Blow" and "Mike Diver" would be sensitive fellas?

[Rudy]

The shooting in Orlando was one of 43 shootings that day. I think over 35 people are shot and killed in the US every day. After Sandy Hook and everything else, nothing ever changes so why should the video game industry change? They aren't causing the problems imo.

The $300 Version of the Xbox One S Won't Launch Until December, Apparently
The system that Microsoft touted the most at E3 reportedly won't launch until months after the 2 TB model comes out in August


I was going to go 500GB and use an external HD. This is not the news I was looking for.

The 500gb fills up quick. Pay extra and get the 2tb model.

Still have 250GB free on my PS4. I don't keep games that I am finished with on the HD. Plus with the XB1 I can get a 2TB external Drive for $85 or 1TB for $45. So why pay extra, considering those prices are going to fall by the time I get an XB1 and have any possibility of needing more space?

[Rudy]

Ive got a little over 800 GB on my ps4. I can clear some things out but I don't have to. 500 GB is too tight. 1 TB is enough but more is even better if you are willing to pay.

I didn't seem impressed on the video that was posted last week, but hearing those two's enthusiasm for the game and how things are randomly generated makes me feel a little better about the game.

Best Jason is always Kane Hodder playing Jason. Not the best Ft13th movies for me but nobody played the role better. It was one of the things that excited me most about the game, that Kane did all the motion capture for Jason and the death scenes.,

I like that the counselors have the ability to "kill" Jason but to pull it off is something that will be rare and extremely difficult. Gives you a reason to actually want to play as a counselor.
