E3 this year was pretty underwhelming IMHO, as a lot of it could be characterized as "The old stuff, but better!" Between Bethesda trying to sell us Skyrim for the umpteenth time and Microsoft seeming to have a repeat of its '13 performance ("All new system that's really just our old one but a bit better and a LOT MORE EXPENSIVE!"), I had trouble really looking for things to get excited about. In fact, besides the Wolfenstein announcement, Bethesda was a wash for me this year. Ditto with Bioware, Anthem looks cool to somebody who was already tuning in for the announcement of Destiny 2's beta launch date, but the total absence of Mass Effect pretty much confirmed the stories that EA is putting the franchise in cryo next to Dead Space. Beyond those, there were a few games that caught my interest. Detroit: Become Human looks appealing to me because I like the idea of being able to play the classic "robot uprising" story from the viewpoint of the robots rather than the hapless humans. And Metro Exodus looks very sweet if you're one of those gamers who sometimes likes a storyline bleaker than a Siberian winter (which I am). And a coworker pointed out Ashen to me, which has a sort of Dark Souls-vibe to it, so I might pick that up as well. Overall, I think it was all a bit of a wash. Some interesting new IP, a few hoped for sequels and DLCs, but nothing that really stole the show this year. Unless you're a Microsoft fanboy who bought the XBox One S and are being tempted by the XBox One X (apparently the naming department was recently sacked) because this time it offers "true" 4K capability. -------------------------- CdrMike, Overwatch Reject "You know, the world could always use more heroes." - Tracer, Overwatch |
