RE: OT: The Official Video Game Discussion Thread (E3 Is Here!)
So, what does everybody think about the gameplay/trailers/game designs they've seen from E3?
I'm very much looking forward to Horizon: Zero Dawn, looks like a futuristic version of Tomb Raider with the stealth combat mechanics, open world, and looting/crafting, plus it's just gorgeous...but I figure it won't be out for a while.
If No Man's Sky doesn't come out in the next 6 months, I'm going to start to sour to the idea, the more I think about the lack or presented core gameplay dynamics, it seems like it's just a lot of driving around and find things with no conceit or story, the more wary I become especially given that we've been seeing it for the last year and a half with no end in sight.
Re:Core piqued my interest, but I'd need to see actually gameplay and not an individually redendered trailer before I get too excited about it even with the pedigree of the design and production team.
Uncharted 4 looks absolutely incredible, and I'm perfectly fine with them delaying a bit now after seeing gameplay and just how massive it looks...I do think the PS4 may chug along a bit in some of the larger render zones and what not.
That Rare Pirates game (Sea of Thieves I believe) looks like it could be a lot of fun, as it seems like a Pirate based MMO almost.
Adr1ft looks like a game I'll really enjoy and Mirrors Edge will be fun as all get out, just like the first. They both look like games tailor made for the Rift/Morpheus set up.
The Last Gaurdian will FINALLY be out, so now people can stop going crazy about it. Looks like a fun little puzzle platformer if that small gameplay snippet is core. And I don't care what you say, Shenmue 2 was not entertaining to play, and Shenmue 3 will be the same way, but FF7 Full Remake is AWESOME, cannot wait for that nostalgia overload.
Star Wars BattleFIELD looks like a Star Wars mod skin on a Battlefield game, which is disappointing even though I expected it.
Fallout 4 or Horizon are probably the top two picks for Game of the Show, I'm actually really excited about Fallout, and I hadn't liked the last two that much.
Last but not least, I'm in love with the super nostalgia and throwbacks that all of the big companies seem to be focusing on now, moving away from huge cookie cutters and focusing more on taking chances with smaller studios or developing story and character rather than JUST producing games that look good but have no heart in them.
Phew...
