S4E23 - E3 2019 - “Something About Keanu”

In This Episode: EA - June 8 Jedi Fallen Order Metroidvania-ish (Metroid Prime) Not hack and slash combat.  More measured. Looks like an approachable dark souls combat style (minus the frustration?) After order 66 and before Rogue One Microsoft - June 9, 3pm CST The Outer worlds The interesting parts of fallout in a sci-fi setting On game pass October 2019 Bleeding Edge 4v4 Online melee combat Game pass Minecraft Dungeons Minecraft Diablo My kids want this Spiritfarer Way to the Woods Cyberpunk 2077 Keanu Reeves Spring 2020 Battletoads Microsoft bought Doublefine Psychonauts 2 LEGO Star Wars Skywalker Saga Gears of War 5 Phantasy Star Online 2 Tales of Arise Elden Ring Next Xbox “Project Scarlett” - Holiday 2020 4 generations of content Connect across devices Launching project Scarlett with Halo Infinite Xbox Game Pass on PC ($5/month) Xbox ($10/month) and Ultimate on Xbox/PC ($15/month including Xbox live gold) Basically, if you’re going to buy 2+ games during the year that are exclusive to Microsoft game studios then this is a good deal Phil spencer seems like an executive that actually gets video games. It feels like he wants all games on all platforms. Cross play Play wherever you want Game pass seems like a better and better deal all the time 34 games premiering on game pass from the press conference alone Xcloud streaming From the cloud or from your own Xbox I hope PS5 does something similar Xbox Game Pass is the only thing getting me to actually consider Xbox for the next gen system.  I still wouldn’t get it as my primary console. I think I’m pretty set on PS ecosystem at the moment for my main console. Bethesda - June 9, 7:30pm CST Boring updates on Fallout 76 and Elder Scrolls Blades Battle Royale, bleh Ghostwire Tokyo ESO more season of the dragon content Commander Keen Mobile game Boring updates on elder scrolls legends, rage 2, wolfenstein Deathloop Arkane game with time loop No actual gameplay though, but an interesting premise Orion game streaming Doom Eternal Devolver Digital - June 9, 9pm CST Direct ripping off Nintendo… I love it Stole the whole graphics package.  Wow, well done. Fall Guys was the only real game worth mentioning https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=2OAVHWmeV0c PC Gaming - June 10, Noon CST Vampire the Masquerade 2 Ubisoft - June 10, 3pm CST Watchdogs Legion London, lots of playable characters and the ability to recruit everyone No main character, you gather a ton of characters.  Individual characters can die but you can recruit more. Lots of interesting systemic things going on I’m more interested in this than any of the past Watchdogs games I want to see a systemic game without a central hero Mythic Quest TV show Rainbow six siege new season Ghost Recon Elite Squad (Mobile) Uplay+ $14.99 for all their games Stadia too Roller Champions Free alpha e3 demo now Free to play Gods and monsters Mythology game AC team Trailer hints at mix of assassin's creed and breath of the wild Square Enix - June 10, 8pm CST FFVII Remake March 2020 First game is midgar but an expanded Midgar 2 BluRay discs Real time action RPG ATB bars that fill up when you land standard attack Use them for tactical mode (slow mo almost turn based abilities) Spells and special abilities They must be stretching out the story.  This first game is only Midgar. Midgar in FFVII is only like 5-6 hours if you’re going slow and taking your time.  This game is 2 Blu Rays worth of game. They have to flesh it out. Sephiroth is here and talking to Cloud in Midgar, so there are definitely changes. FFVII isn’t actually that deep of a story.  It was for the time for a video game… but it’s really not overall. What if they never make part 2?  Or 3? Or however many parts it will be.  Most of the main characters aren’t even in Midgar.  Cloud, Tifa, Barret, Aeris, and (barely) Red XIII. Life is strange 2 Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remaster PS4, Switch, Mobile Last remnant Remaster Available immediately Dragon Quest Builders 2 DQXI on Switch - Fall Circuit superstars KH3 DLC FFXIV Shadowbringers new trailer Romancing Saga 3 Saga Scarlett Grace War of the visions FFBE Looks like a FF Tactics game Outriders Oninaki FFVIII Remaster 2019 Out on everything including Switch Avengers Looks like it could be good, but it was hard to tell gameplay from cutscenes Hawkeye gets left out Single player and co op Separate from all existing Avengers stuff Multiple year content release schedule? New super heroes and regions at no extra cost. No loot boxes or P2W I come out of this more skeptical than I was going in Out on everything except Switch May 2020 Nintendo - June 11, 11am CST Early E3 - Pokemon Sword/Shield Legendaries and release date (Nov 15) Dynamax Wild Areas! Raids E3: Pokeball+ lets you take it away from the game, but you can’t use it as a controller. Floor demo has Water gym, Nessa as trainer, and uses dynamax Treehouse has live gameplay, so go watch archives ALL the DQ heroes in Smash. Not just Erdrick, but from all the other games, too. DQXI S Looks like we get the Spirits of Lost Time village? Maybe? Last week of September (thanks Data_Error for pointing it out) Luigi’s Mansion 3 Gooigi, lolz Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactical RPG Tie-in to new Netflix show Link’s Awakening Create your own dungeon by placing rooms and tiles you gather.
