June & E3 incoming

Rate this Entry

May has been a very sucky month. Won't go over details but there's been a bunch of bad news and developments all over. At least none of them have been life-threatening, so we go on, looking forward to the most exciting month of the year, every year: June! Sure, it's my birthday on the 17th* ** *** but the real star is E3!

*I accept game codes or PSN fund codes as gifts
** I am kidding
*** Or am I?

With announcements from the big three two, and something about Zelda, it's always a fun time to be a gamer! What am I looking forward to? Ok, let's see...

Final Fantasy XV - I wanna know more of the former ghost-of-a-game! For the longest time all we had of XV was Duscae: a hundred of screenshots of only Duscae. Then we had Uncovered and we suddenly got a lot more, but there's so much still under wraps! What other areas are in the world? How is the lore shaping up? A new story trailer could bring hype levels to the highest they've been in a decade.

The Last Guardian - With magazine coverage releasing recently and a 2016 date being confirmed, we'll surely get a new trailer and a concrete date. Looking forward to it... not looking forward to the tears.

Final Fantasy XII - A MAN CAN DREAM, RIGHT? With so much on Square-Enix's hands it'll be a bona fide miracle if this is made in this decade, but one can hope. I'm not expecting a full remake... just a remaster, something that will allow me to replay this gem without having to buy a component-to-hdmi converter.

Kingdom Hearts 3 - HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA. No, seriously, there's a better chance of seeing Crash Bandicoot back than to have info on this game. We'll surely get a trailer or something for the 2.8 thingy, though. Speaking of impossibles, I feel the same way about the Final Fantasy VII Remake.

God of War 4 - Another of those long-shot hopes. It'd be nice to see it being announced, though it'll be a 2017 at earliest. If the rumored Norse setting ends up being true it may just be a chance to take a second look at the franchise.

Bloodborne 2 - I would love a sequel to the lovecraftian horror masterpiece that was Bloodborne. Now that Dark Souls 3 is out, maybe there's a part of FROM's team that can work on this?

Destiny's expansion - Rise of Iron or whatever it's called. I need more Destiny. I love Destiny. Bonus: Can we get another go at the Sparrow Racing League? It was a fun event.

Whatever Naughty Dog is working on next - The Last of US 2? Something-something Starlight? A completely fresh experience? After Uncharted 4, ND could do a Superman 64 remake and I'd still buy it.

"Hold on, Saga. Your 'expectation' list is pretty pedestrian"

Yeah, I am a simple man. I may be part of what's wrong with the gaming industry but I do enjoy playing familiar experiences. Maybe it's why I'm so "meh" on the VR thing. Call me old fashioned... or just old.

So that's what I am looking forward to. What are you looking forward to?

Game on.

    The head of From Software has gone on record saying there won't be more Souls or Bloodborne games or spinoffs, but hey, Bungie briefly said Halo 2 was the last one so who knows?

    Oh, really? I missed that one. Well, as you say, there's always hope. Bloodborne was sooooo good.
