I just got home and SE is talking about F1 of all things *sigh* I feel trolled.

It even looks like a shitty game, doesn't seem to belong in current gen.

SE is showcasing a number of titles that they aren't involved with this year. It's weird, usually this type of thing is done for overseas conferences.

The more I think about it, the more I realize how shitty e3 has to be for nothing but music and two words to consider nintendo having probably the best showing this year.

Should go without saying, but everyone should have GB on in their backgrounds. Currently on break, but had devs from Playerunknown, Tacoma, Crackdown 3, and ... i forget who during the last segment.

^Seriously. If anyone ever doubts the power of Nintendo.

Overall this an alright E3. I'm happy Nintendo showcase some game I'm interested in with Mario Odyssey, Fire Emblem Warriors, Mario+rabbids and Xenoblade Chronicles 2. I'll see how these games review and general impressions after release before deciding if I'll get Switch this year. Metroid Prime 4 is nice but lets be real it's a 2019 or 2020 game with Nintendo's track record of delays.

Here is what I'm getting in no particular order this year:

Ni no Kuni II
Destiny 2(PS4)
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds
Yakuza Kiwami
Far Cry 5
Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus
South Park: The Fractured But Whole
Sonic Forces
Sonic Mania
Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA
Cuphead(for PC).

Nothing really good on the SE stream today either. The XV universe stream just showed more footage of Prompto and basically confirmed stuff that was already announced. They actually broke the gameplay demo and couldn't show everything they wanted, it was cringy.

Its funny that Sony gets shit for showing trailers and/or gameplay for games that might be 2-3 years out yet these same people lose their shit when Nintendo just shows a Logo for a game with no trailer/gameplay that is likely to be 2 or more years out.

It's a testament to Nintendo's reputation and the quality of games they produce.

Couldn't the same be said for Sony over the last few years?

[Serra]

No, not really. I'd say there were three games I'm excited about from Sony's press conference (God of War, Destiny 2, and Spider-Man) versus Nintendo, which used half the time, to get me excited about Xenoblade, Kirby, a console Pokemon, Metroid Prime 4, DLC for Breath of the Wild, and Mario Odyssey (probably going to be my and many others' game of E3).

Personally, I think there is a quality and care that goes into many core Nintendo games that many other developers just don't have.

[Obsidian]

It's also one game versus an entire conference of games with no release timeline.

[Krandor]

Sony's first party games overall haven't exactly been stellar on the PS4. Yeah we've gotten Uncharted 4, Horizon Zero, and Bloodborne, but for every killer game there's been major clunkers like Driveclub, Knack, Order 1886, or the decent but not remotely worth the wait Last Guardian
