E3 2018 Thread: Nintendo, You're My Only Hope

At least there wasn't a Jesse Moment.

They had gameplay for Anthem, or at least a self contained scripted thing being sold as gameplay. It was after they spent 15 minutes talking over a concept art loop with 2 or 3 short "gameplay" sequences though.I've h

All the gameplay shown was already shown months ago. The only new footage was the cinematic trailer that did nothing to serve as a hook. The audience didn't even react to it at all, and that's teling.

ANd it looks incredibly boring.

Like, you're playing Iron Man flying around the world shooting giant monster things. Why does it look so so slow and dull?

I remember when the first Horizon gameplay trailer came out I didn't believe it was *actual* gameplay, I assumed it was just an opening quicktime event thing. But nope, 100% legit mecha dinosaur roping.

This is just... I dunno.

But like I said, I got Warframe. Which is fast, fluid, had dozens of suits, and constant expansion

I've seen many EA E3 conferences in my time and that seriously may have been the worst.

Special shoutout to the immediate chorus of boos about ten minutes in when they announced a battle royale mode.

The reason why it's all we got is it's clearly nowhere near being finished. Did you notice the constant cuts during gameplay with framerate dips during shooting? Those cuts were to cover up the game glitching and dropping to single digit framerate. Sure the bits we saw look good but how can anyone get excited by a game that's clearly broken and glitchy af.

Do we know that for sure? The edits seemed to be to just parse things down. They said that exact scenario was playable on the floor. I imagine if it was significantly different from what was shown in the presentation it wouldn't be a secret for very long.

I wonder if Anthem tanking will be the last nail in the coffin for Bioware.

I don't want Anthem's failure to affect dragon Age 4. Sadly, I know that's not gonna happen.

If they can get excited for an Elder Scrolls or Fallout game they can get excited for this.

I'd get excited for a Fallout game by Obsidian.

First thought was to travel back in time, to show some C&C fans what the only C&C port in 2018 looks like.

If Anthem tanks, Bioware tanks with it.


EA won't hesitate, they won't show mercy.

Kinda sucks that Dragon Age 4 is being held hostage to a game I don't care about that has nothing to do with it.

[Noqanky]

Watched the EA conference out of curiosity. I don't get how a company can exist that makes games look so aggressively boring.

EA will keep on existing since so many of their consumers are not well informed. Just look at FIFA and Battlefront II. Even after the fuckery they pulled with Battlefront II, it still sold generally well.

I hope BioWare does not make Dragon Age 4 as some online MMO. That is the nail in the coffin for me. Already the trend looks to be going in that direction.

Easy, the FIFA licence will keep them afloat until the end of times.

Can we please agree EA is a godamn shithole.

Kind of hard to do that when Konami is still around.

[Demon Rin]

There's an exclusivity afforded to the title of Shithole?

there are tiers, bimonthly award ceremony, a crown of gold covered in shit, seasonal challenges, a ladder system, two tournaments and no less than 20 categories where they are evaluated.

There must allways be a shithole king.
