Very excited about this and glad I waited, I was so close to getting it on Xbox. VR BABY!!!!

@get2sammyb Nah, it's a Switch exclusive. Remember that chat?

@Bad-MuthaAdebisi Spot on man. Learn to ignore all the noise. Destiny had a lot of issues, and still has a few, but the constant claim of the "lack of story" just amuses me at this point

To be fair, he said they had no idea what it was, using past tense, I'm taking it he's talking around the launch of vanilla. TTK had quite a bit more on the darkness (or the deep, same thing).

@Rudy_Manchego I'm with you. I liked rise, but didn't think it was as good as the last one.

1. Destiny 2
2. Metro Exodus
3. Wolfenstein 2
4. Assassin's Creed Origins
5. A Way Out

I think I'll pass, thanks

Doom VR, Wolfenstein 2 and Evil Within 2 make Bethesda a clear winner imo, dunno why most people are so down on it. Yes, we suspected Wolf2 and EW2 were in development, but the same can be said for Bloodborne 2 and the Sucker Punch game, which weren't even mentioned from Sony. Also, I like short and snappy, and the whole theme park theme felt like they were having a bit of fun with it.

No Metro Exodus there?! Anyway, from this list it's Destiny 2 cause it's more Destiny, AC Origins cause it's the Black Flag team and that's one of my favourite games of all time, and Wolfenstein 2 cause the first one was awesome and I love me some mecha Nazis

Yeah, it increasingly feels like E3 is the mainstream face of Sony, where PSX is where they talk to the PlayStation fanbase. I'm okay with that, but I do wish they stopped doing them in america for pete's sake. PlayStation has a strong international audience (and we were the ones keeping them relevant when everyone in the US was loving their 360s) and it sucks that year after year it's always over there. I wish they could do them alternatively, one year in the US, one in Europe, one in Japan. I really want to attend a PSX but I ain't gonna fly over for a show, as good as it might be.

I apologise if I sound repetitive, but a couple of exciting new announcements would have elevated this from alright to awesome. Don't get me wrong, it was still a decent showing, and I get that some people care about MH and SotC (again!), but I don't think these have nearly the amount of impact, say, a Bloodborne 2 would have. I just want Bloodborne 2, alright

@RedMageLanakyn I'm with you, I don't get the big hoorah about SotC being released yet again. Is this really newsworthy for a conference?

What they showed was cool, but mostly stuff we knew about. Pretty gutted there were no significant new announcements, I was so ready for Bloodborne 2 and the Sucker Punch game. Overall, mildly disappointed, but a decent showing.

_{My warnings apply to you as well. -Tasuki-}

@banacheck Not at all, I would just like some consistency. Don't make a claim like that when it's clearly not enforced. Personally, I think each platform should be used to their full potential, it's not any different from PC really, the better your rig is, the better you'll run the game, whether it's pvp or pve.

@RedMageLanakyn yeah, pretty sure that was the difference, you should look it up just to be sure, Digital Foundry did a comparison video close to the game's launch.

@RedMageLanakyn Nice one, totally missed that! I'm sure they've said in the past they don't do it, but that's just classic Sony for you. Just like no competitive game will have higher framerate on the pro and Battlefield 1 runs at about 10-15 fps higher

The only reason this is going to Xbox first is because Xbox does early access and Sony doesn't imo. I always assumed it would come to Xbox first for that reason. As soon as it's done, I think you'll see it everywhere.

Hmmmm, I find it hard to believe that Sony would say no to this, they've had cross play in the past. Minecraft being a Microsoft property tells me it's probably Microsoft wanting to get one up on Sony. Who knows though.

100% behind everything you just said. And that guy man, doubt anyone will be as entertaining on stage for the rest of this E3!

Borefest. Men in jackets?! that's worse than Pele. A Way Out was the only interesting thing there. Interested in Battlefront 2, looks cool as hell, but even that got boring when they decided to have an entire multiplayer game that went on forever. 3/10

EDIT: NFS as well actually, I liked the look of it.

I like the look of it, but unfortunately I'll probably only have time for one Destiny like game, and that's D2. Let's wait and see.

Yup, agree with the above, Nier Automata has one of the best game soundtracks of all time. Also Doom. Doom's soundtrack is in the background when I play any shooter these days. 10/10

Hoping to see Sucker Punch's and FromSoft's next games and confirm Nightstalkers in Destiny 2. I don't want to see much about tech (VR or Pro chat), sales stats, firmware updates etc, keep it about the games.

What's next? Time Commando?

@xMEADx I always used to play bumper jumper for that exact reason, jumping with X always felt off. Sometimes it wouldn't be supported from the game though, or the remapping of L1 to X wouldn't feel great (such as having the ability mapped to X in TF2). Since I got the Raiju, I've never had to worry about that though, I've permanently mapped x to my left middle finger and I can still use L1 as it was meant to in all games.

I completely agree, these two seem like a safe bet. Fairly certain Dreams will be there, with a release window, but that's just a guess.

@joey302 Fair enough, wasn't around that far back. From my experience, growing up in the 90s, I cannot for the life of me remember anyone expecting backwards compatibility with new generations of consoles, until after the PS2's launch. Could be just different circles, but even press didn't seem to make any mention of it back then ¯(ツ)/¯

@BLP_Software There's nothing Pro about the Switch Pro controller. No programmable paddles, adjustable sticks, trigger locks or hair trigger functionality.

@Cassetticons that's right, thanks! I still don't remember it being that big a deal, maybe because barely anyone had a master system at least compared to the PS1 player base.

@Brasilkilla It was never a big deal until, ironically, Sony made it a big deal with the PS2. Before that I don't remember a single person expecting the snes to play all the nes games or the Saturn to play all the mega drive games. Not sure if PS2 was they very first instant of that, but it was the first time it was such a big deal, every PS1 game can be played on the ps2. Since then, with every generation, everyone expects it. I couldn't care less, I generally keep my consoles.

@gingerfrog it's not just you, changing discs feels like such a chore nowadays, especially with "live" games that you keep going back to. I'll still get a single player single playthrough game if I get a good deal on physical, but I'd never consider it for games like Destiny, Rocket League, Titanfall etc

I like digital, especially since the wife got her own PS4, means I only need to buy one copy if we're planning to play something together. Even if it's a bit more expensive, it's still cheaper than two different copies. Add to the fact that Sony is absolutely killing it with sales the last couple of years, I'll very rarely get physical these days. Probably a 90-10 split as it is.

The split does not surprise me that much, I doubt there's many fighting game fans on other consoles after Sony nabbed both Street Fighter and KOF.

I've had the Raiju since January and it's really hard to go back to the regular DS4, I get some people here have had issues, but it's been flawless for me. The resistance on the sticks is lower and the deadzone smaller, which is tricky to get used to initially, but once you do, it's great.

Don't care that much about football, but I would have liked to have a shot at it. Germany exclusive though

@BLP_Software "Naughty Dog is probably sat wondering what the hell their predecessors were doing."

Well, they were building the company it is today, and if you think they don't have the utmost respect for the people who made a tiny independent company one of the flagship playstation brands, you are sorely mistaken.

CTR! CTR! CTR!

Butcher for me, that game is exceptional, more people should talk about it. Surprised to see Farpoint didn't crack the list, heard a lot of good things.

@B-I-G-DEVIL I just saw that as well and would like to know For everyone else, here it is:

I think you should cover every stupid rumour that comes along. It's far more pleasing reading those with the signature dryness of the Push Square staff than every other site that takes them seriously

@BLP_Software Oh I completely agree on that front, if you just take a look at the numbers, it's clear that the CPUs didn't get much of an upgrade from base to Pro, or even from One to Scorpio. Some people are saying that the Scorpio version will run at 60, but they're about to be very disappointed. I think what you're gonna see is a checkerboarded 4K on Pro and a native 4K on Scorpio. But sorry, I digress..

Spot on on the dedicated servers on PC as well, although if their netcode is THAT good, it's an easier pill to swallow than a 30fps framerate.

@BLP_Software Keep in mind that the cost of dedicated servers increases significantly with an increased player base. Yes, they might have made 500 million in a day, and have millions of active players, but precisely for that reason the investment for dedicated servers would be far greater than a game with, say, a few thousand active players per month.

Also, no matter how much they could have wanted it, releasing a game on PC with a capped 30fps is financial suicide, you're better off not doing it at all.

@get2sammyb Do you happen to know how strict that mandate is? I'm only asking cause in the video, Battlefield 1 is clearly running at a higher framerate on the Pro.

I've heard people say that San Diego started working on this as soon as they were done with Undead Nightmare, which would put the development of this game at 7-8 years when it's all said and done (and if it's not delayed again). If that's true, I am so intrigued by it, like, what the hell is in this game?!?! I hope I don't get overhyped/disappointed. But seriously though, what are they doing?

Shocking

That's great news! Although I do hope it's not exclusively in game, I'd like to still have access to it when I'm away.

@get2sammyb that's a good point. I still feel like they could run PvP at 60 on both (especially now that it's 4v4) and PvE 60 on Pro and 30 on base. But yeah, it's not a deal breaker anyway.

@RedMageLanakyn I know, I'm not really that salty, I'll stick with the Pro. I can't play shooters on M+K and if I stick a controller on PC to play Crucible, well... might as well jump off a cliff Plus I agree, Destiny feels great anyway, but personally I don't care that much about resolution. Every game that has had a performance vs resolution option, I always choose framerate. That's the option I wish was there. Still excited for it though, pre ordered and cannot wait!

It is a bit disappointing, not gonna lie. It's now the only console shooter (of significance) running at 30, in 2017 that's not good enough. However, if someone can make a 30fps shooter feel as good as possible, it's Bungie. Still though, I would've like the option on Pro/Scorpio to be able to choose between 1080/60 and 2160/30 (which they are supporting).

EDIT: I meant they are supporting the latter (4K), not the element of choice. I can see it could be interpreted otherwise
