My goodness! Microsoft has set a high standard for the rest of the week as they unveil their competitor to the PlayStation 4 Pro, and a never ending trailer reel of new games to loose ourselves in, along with surprising announcements and so much more.
The Plus
+ Metro Exodus
I haven't played any of the Metro games and I have one ready for me to complete but I was still hype for this game. Surely the trailer they played here would convince any player who hasn't hopped on to the series to get on it with this new game. I could see if someone would say it looks too much like a Fallout game but I still wanna experience this game.
+ Player Uknown's Battlegrounds for Xbox
I'm not an Xbox owner, I'm on the PS4 side, but I do think this is a great game and a really cool thing to put on console, Especially with the pairing of Player Uknown himself. A+ stuff.
+ State Of Decay 2
It's been a couple of years since the first game came out on the Xbox 360 Arcade and blew everyone away out of nowhere. Now we're here and seeing a really cool in-depth cinematic gameplay trailer and it looks like the game has built on the previous hugely, I can't wait to get my mittens on this game.
+ The Last Night
A game I didn't know of and now, purely by visual appearance, is now very high on my E3 list of games to play. I'm very excited for the depth of field mixed with airy coloured fog effects and the retro pixel graphics, it looks like and adventure side-scroller which isn't something that has been in the main stream for a while.
+ Sea Of Thieves
We were given a very long gameplay trailer which showed this pirate game, the mixture between the graphic style, the pirate aspect, all the things it looks like you can do and the fact that you and your friends can be a team together and meet other players as well, makes this game one to watch and want to pick up when it is released. It looks like it's filled with character.
+ Cuphead
EYYY CUPHEAD! Finally Cuphead has a release date, this game is beautiful early disney animation styled side scrolling shoot 'em up that has been on my watchlist for a hot second, and I'm so happy there is finally a release date.
+ Crackdown 3
I haven't played any Crackdown games, but Terry Crews can sell me on anything. The game looks like a lot of fun and I'll keep my eye on this to see if it's worth my money.
+ Life Is Strange: Before The Storm
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!! I'm a huge fan of Life Is Strange, and when there was announcement on a new LIS game I was praying they would show some of it at E3, well my dream has come true and it looks like it is a 3 Episode prequel to the original game, I think this spin-off is supposed to tide us over until they have a full blown sequel. I AM OK WITH THIS! We finally get to meet the elusive Rachel Amber and what happened leading to her disappearance, we play as pre-blue hair Chloe. My friend told me that if this game ends with Chloe dying her hair blue and walking into the girls bathroom like the start of the original game he may cry, and to be honest I'm right there with him.
+ Middle-earth: Shadow Of War
Wow, so last game they had a really fun enemy system, this time around they had a new army system, taking orc enemies and turning them into your allies. The gameplay demo that they showed here literally sold me on this game.
+ Original Xbox Backwards Compatibility
GOD DAMMIT, I want a damn Xbox One now, that is the coolest thing, I have original Xbox games that I wanna play and I can't because my 360 only does some of them and usually really laggy, as long as they can get these games to run really smoothly then I am all for this.
+ Anthem
We saw a small tease at EA's conference, but here we got to see the big reveal and I'm looking forward to Anthem. Regardless of fake headset chatter that can always cringe me out, this game looks stellar.
The Minus
- Xbox One X
Maybe I should clarify here, I don't hate this console but the reason why it is in the minus section is because I still don't see why I would want to buy one, I like updated graphics but I don't feel like it is necessary, maybe I have an old mentality of wanting to buy a console and have it for the whole console cycle, I still have my original PS2, and I still have my original white 360 and my PS4, I don't want to keep updating. Also the $499 price tag seems like way too much to me.
- Forza Motorsport 7
I don't mind racing games, I actually enjoy a couple but opening up with Forza was kinda boring to be honest, the game was gorgeous but I don't really care enough, sorry fans.
- Assassin's Creed Origins
I was hoping that this Creed soft reboot was gonna pull me back into the series, the first 4 games are some of my favourites especially AC2 and Brotherhood, sadly ever since then minus Black Flag each game has felt like the same game with not much new and innovative in each installation. Origins is no different here. Yes, the Egypt environment looks cool and I'm sure the story is interesting but there was nothing their that convinced me to get back into the series.
Now I know I haven't talked about everything here but stuff I haven't talked about here means I haven't got a definitive opinion or I'm indifferent too, I think this was a very good conference and Sony are gonna have to pull out all the stops to out do that. (they have to show me Bully 2 to beat Life Is Strange), I'll be posting my Bethesda conference post soon! See you in a bit.
