Our next contestant is The Division 2.
Julian Gerighty, the creative director is on stage.
7 months after the events of game one, the virus has mostly burnt itself out, but the nation is tearing itself apart. Under threat from dangerous factions, civilians are trying to rebuild.
Showing a new trailer separate from the one shown at the MS conference. A community of people living in a barricaded shelter is shown, along with a horse walking through the desolate streets. An injured person is crawling on the sidewalk, before being kicked into the street and his water bottle stolen. Two other people with guns are walking by while a woman and her child hide inside a destroyed restaurant.
Back outside into a back alley, dead dogs, bodies, stagnant water, flies and insects. Another civilian with her arms tied behind her back seemingly being dragged off to be executed while someone talks on a megaphone about rules and examples being made.
A gunshot happens off screen as the woman is executed, while a paper airplane flies off into the distance.
Next screen, it's picked up by a group of 3 people, who open it up and see the words Help written on it, while looking at the Washington monument and DC in the distance.
Back on stage, you're the last line of defense for the innocent. If you fail, history will be written by tyrants.
Your actions will have a clear impact on the lives of civilians. You will need to bring your equipment and tactical abilities to the next level.
You will unlock specializations, weapons and skills and you complete the game.
Speaking of teamwork, for the first time, 8 players will be able to partner up in the game to face the ultimate endgame challenge. Raids are coming to The Division 2.
They're launching with plans for years of frequent content updates.
Year One - They will be launching 3 DLCs in the form of episodes, bringing new story, activities and new areas to explore.
All 3 episodes will be completely FREE.
The post-show after the conference will have a 30 minute deep dive into The Division 2.
Closing out with another new video trailer of The Division 2.
The Division 2 will release March 15, 2019.
Register for the beta at thedivisiongame.com/beta
Next up is Mario Rabbids.
Also celebrating the upcoming release of Donkey Kong Adventure. And now another live music performance. :fp:
God I wish they would get rid of VR and live music crap from E3.
That's MAJOR that the DLC is free going forward.

I just signed up for beta access on PS4. If it'll let me sign up for beta on both consoles without overwriting one, I'll also throw in a sign up for Xbox One.
I was soooooo into it! 🤣 I thought it was great!Quote:

Yeah, that surprised me. They had to have made some good money with what the DLC cost in the first game. Maybe they too are gunshy after the whole Battlefront 2 loot box fiasco.Quote:

Moving on, next up is an Ubisoft Singapore production.
PIRACY IS DEAD flashes on the screen.
LONG LIVE PIRACY flashes next as a voice speaks and video of pirates plays.
Say hello to Skull & Bones!
Goddamn this game looks amazing.
Justin Farren, creative director at Ubi Singapore is on stage now.
Piracy is dead in the Caribbean. So now off to pirate and plunder in the Indian Ocean.
We're going to steal "every last fucking coin".
Reactive and evolving world. There will be changes in factions, the weather and the trade routes themselves.
The essence of Skull & Bones, a shared world where every interaction matters.
Now onto a new video trailer.
I'm getting a very strong Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag vibe as far as controlling your ship, the ocean warfare with cannons, and the overall on the seas controls. It looks very similar, if not the same as it was in Black Flag.
I'm not sure if these other ships in this video are AI or human controlled.
Skull and Bones comes out 2019.
You can sign up for a chance to play early, but I can't see what the website is.
Is this what Sea of Thieves tried to do?

Moving onto the next game, Transference.
Sounds like it's a narrative game. Frodo is on stage!
I still have no clue what the hell this game is about despite them talking about it.
Sounds like it'll be on regular consoles and VR.
This seems like another movie narrative type game similar to Late Shift and others.
It'll be available Fall 2018.
I was interested in Skull and Bones. PvP kills it. Oh well.

Next up, we're watching a video preview of the game Starlink: Battle for Atlas.
I got almost a cross of between a No Man's Sky and Destiny type feel from that video.
It'll be available October 16th.
Our next contestant is For Honor.
Roman Campos-Oriola, the creative director at Ubi Montreal is on stage.
In celebration of E3, they're inviting new players to join.
If you haven't played yet, starting today through next Monday, they're giving away the PC Starter Edition on UPLay for free.
Building on everything that they've learned, they're ready to expand their world.
Now launching into a video trailer.
For Honor Marching Fire DLC is coming.
A new faction, four new fighters, and more coming to For Honor. They biggest and most ambitious addition so far.
Answering a huge request from the community, a new 4 v 4 player mode. It's called Breach, a castle siege mode.
I didn't see a release date for it.
Next we move onto The Crew 2.
In just a few days, freedom will be ours. Vehicles include car, bike, boat and plane.
Releases on June 29th.
The open beta will be available on PS4, XB1 and PC on June 21st, you can preload it now.
Seems a little odd to release a beta literally 8 days before the game itself releases.
Next game takes us to Greece. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is up now.
Just finished a video preview. Now Jonathan Dumont, creative director is on stage.
It's more than an adventure, it's an RPG journey. Both on land and on sea.
The Pelopennesian War will be taking place during Odyssey.
You will choose your characters, Alexios or Kassandra to play as. You share the blood line of the Spartan hero Leonidas and will be able to use his broken spear as a weapon.
They have changed the way they tell stories. You have multiple choices for answers and dialogue and can even lie, as shown in response to a question by Socrates.
And Assassin's Creed Odyssey is coming to your XBox, Playstation and/or PC on October 5th, 2018.
Greece. Brotherhood was in Rome, I believe.Quote:

And music is playing again, everyone who came out during the show is on stage. This appears to be the closing segment of the conference.
No Splinter Cell announced. :(
Also no Watch Dogs 3, though I wasn't realistically expecting it this year, maybe next E3.
:fp:Quote:

Yes, it takes place in Greece, not Rome.
Alright, that just leaves Sony's conference in 3 hours and that will put a wrap on another E3!
You left out the #2 company in gaming today Nintendo is up tomorrowQuote:

Meh, I don't own any Nintendo consoles or game playing systems, so I'm completely skipping and ignoring their conference tomorrow. For me personally, as soon as Sony's conference ends tonight, that'll be the end of E3.Quote:

I give Sony's upcoming Conference an E for effort. Would have given them a gold participation star but that felt more like a Nintendo thing.
The biggest thing for me would be a Sony Pro console that does not sound like someone is starting a jet engine in your house. Still plan to get one for TLOU2, Days Gone, etc, but only with a major drop in price and a fan solution.
Thanks for the running commentary Scoop and all the individual game threads. Saved me a ton of time, you are the MVP of E3. Honorary mention to CDJ for numerous game threads.
Trials Rising will be mine and unlike you chumps, I dominate in Trials. ;) Even made a couple 5 star Enviorocross tracks that got some acclaim in Fusion. That is one game better played with the Xbox One controller. I played it mostly on the PS4 and tore the rubber off the analog sticks of three controllers. Plus the Xbox One has trigger rumble/feedback which makes it great for playing racing games on a controller.
Happy to help! :)Quote:

I was hoping they would announce a Pro Slim. Almost everyone complains about the noise.Quote:

Todd Howard speaks about things.

Todd Howard is currently giving an interview with Geoff Keighly on YouTube and gave us a few tidbits about the things that Bethesda Game Studios is working on. Some of the highlights include
- Starfield has been in production for a long time and is a playable state.
- Starfield may have some sort of social connection to it, but make no mistake this is Bethesda's next big Single Player experience. Not an online focused game
- ESVI is in a pre production state. It is not currently in a playable capacity. The technology for the game still "doesn't exist yet but is getting closer" aka next generation consoles are approaching soon.
- Fallout 76 has the largest team that a BGS project has ever had.
Edit - there is some confusion if Todd was specifically commenting on the tech not existing yet was in regards to Starfield or Elder Scrolls VI. Either way he reiterated again that Starfield is a "next gen project" so it works either way.

Mods and private worlds for Fallout 76. I am getting more excited about this one with each new detail.Quote:
Game designer Todd Howard revealed some new details about Fallout 76 today during an interview with host Geoff Keighley on YouTube Live at E3. "We love mods, so we are 100 percent committed to doing that in 76 as well. We will not be able to do that at launch though," Howard says. He goes on to note that at launch, Bethesda's goal is just to have a "well running, robust" service, and consideration for implementing mods will come sometime in the future. "You'll be able to have your own private world and be able to mod it and do all of that.
I posted the full interview in the Fallout 76 thread if you missed it. It's about 13 minutes long.Quote:

Even though I think most of us are watching this live, I'll still throw up some notes as stuff happens here in case anyone's not able to watch live.
Got some banjo music going right now. I'm thinking this is a lead in to The Last of Us 2, but not positive. Yep, The Last of Us 2 it indeed is.
Game trailer now, got some banjo music going, people dancing in a room that looks rather like the set up Sony has for their conference right now, lol.
Now we got some girl on girl kissing going on. Lesbians confirmed! :D
And it transitions to one of them out in the woods stabbing a guy in the neck from behind. Now we're onto gameplay as she crouches down and sneaks behind cover in a swampy woods area, hiding from two other people up ahead.
There are a couple bodies hanging from trees, a destroyed car, nature appears to have taken over as there is broken up pavement and barely recognizable remains of a road. She approaches a group up ahead, watching someone hanging from a pole be stabbed in the heart and killed.
Whistles in the distance alert the group to trouble. They spread out to look, while the protagonist climbs into a decrepit parking garage to hide, before killing a guy from behind with a bow and arrow. She hides behind a van then sneaks up behind another guy. Before she can kill him, she gets spotted from the side by someone else, with a two on one melee royale breaking out. She kills both of them, but the noise draws attention and gunshots from others.
She hauls ass outside into tall grass and hides, but more people are closing in. She crawls under a truck to take cover as they search for her nearby. Someone crouches down and looks under the truck, and she shoots them, but then is pulled out by another. She managed to shoot and kill him, before taking cover behind a car and killing another person. Her gun is empty and she get shot by yet another person nearby. She picks up a body and uses it as a shield against an arrow, before dodging bullets and diving behind a counter inside a building.
Still hiding from three more people hunting her, she sneaks behind various objects and tries to evade them. A fourth person enters. She gets out her bow and arrow and fires an explosive arrow, killing one person before melee killing another. Despite getting tossed around and her ass kicked, she manages to kill a third person before finally taking the last one down to his knees with three arrows, before driving her blade into the side of his neck and finishing him off with a second melee strike.
And we transition back into the lesbian kiss.
And title screen. The Last of Us Part 2. No release date was given.
And apparently the Showcase is taking an intermission now.
Yes it's the same guy who composed TLOU 1 soundtrack
Banjo Kazooie now cross platform? :D
Lol setup in Hall same as TLOU 2 trailer
I know it is Gustavo.
HAWT!
