well now i feel stupid lol xD

@AdamNovice Yeah i guess expectations for E3 do go through the roof lol

This is why i think it'd be good for Sony to revive some of their dormant I.P like Sly, Ape Escape etc with smaller dev studios, games like Days Gone take a long time to develop whereas they could use these mid-tier style games to fill the gaps in these times when they're announced but not quite ready to release, but then would people even be happy with that level of announcement ? people always want more haha

Yeah i'm not buying this either, besides, hasn't Sony already confirmed that it has more unannounced PS4 games in the works before the PS5 rolls around ?

Even without those there's still games like Dreams and the Medievil remake that could be shown off alongside the already big titles announced plus third party games, E3 is a great marketing tool that i doubt they'd just let go of.

@nhSnork It's Arkedo, same as you i couldn't find it on google but the typo is why lol it's a retro 2D platformer.

I've yet to try a Yakuza game, this will finally be my chance, i've also never played Bulletstorm so a decent month for me

Looks lovely to me, maybe not as polished as Crash/Spyro but there's still time for improvements, even if this is the final build, the original was so much fun i don't think it matters too much, i'm looking forward to it all the same

I second the comments about the PS2 Maximo games being given a new lease of life, those games were fantastic !

Fantastic news ! so excited for this one

Nope, i don't like Rockstar's games at all.

I'm about five hours in and enjoying it, it really is a very pretty game. I can see how repetition will become a problem though, the lack of variety in mission structure and enemy designs is already apparent, the combat and traversal is fun though and i'm finding the game quite addictive at the minute.

I will say though that the Starfox gang add a lot to the game, all the original characters are bland beyond belief and one in particular, is insanely annoying, he makes Slippy Toad bearable lol i'd recommend the Switch version over the others simply for Fox and crew being included, the way they've been incorporated even into the cut-scenes is great.

Thanks for the heads up, just set both my messages and friend requests to 'no-one' for the time being, just in case.

@Jriibz It's at the top of my list ! Farpoint and Moss are the two others i will likely get first too

@Jriibz Haha yeah i guess you are. It's been a bit of an odd year i think, not as chock full with big games as last year but with them more sparsely spread across the whole of the year, it's given me a chance to get through some of my backlog at least, and i'm getting the PSVR for xmas which i cannot wait to try out

Wow that is impressive, i used to really enjoy making my own maps on Halo's Forge mode last gen, i almost got one of my maps into rotation at one point, so i'd definitely like to try and make my own FPS in Dreams along with a 3D platformer

Meh, i'm not interested in either of them, more excited for Darksiders 3 and Starlink, which makes me part of an extremely small minority i know lol

@adf86 Yeah true, i wouldn't be surprised if it became a joint PS4/PS5 release in the end, it still feels odd that the PS4 seems to be coming to the end, this gen has flown by, can't believe it's been five years since it came out ! launch day still feels like it was just a couple of years ago to me haha

@oatmealwarrior92 I've been wondering the same thing, i hope it hasn't been cancelled

@ShogunRok Why would there be a "meltdown" ???

I'm planning on getting it for Switch but if it comes to PS+ first then great, saved me a bit of money, anyone who's already determined to get it on Switch likely still would anyway.

I absolutely would love Sony (and Microsoft) to adopt the Nintendo Direct approach throughout the year, but not for E3, i like the live conferences for E3, they have a level of excitement that cannot be replicated with a pre-recorded show.

I'd like Nintendo to go back to live conferences for E3 with Directs throughout the year, we'd get the best out of both worlds then.

Always knew it would be something special. great to have it confirmed though, great review Glen !

My only little nit pick would be to say that there have been some great Spiderman games since 2, Shattered Dimensions in particular is much better than 2 imo but this sounds like it beats both of them now anyway

I felt bad for having not gotten around to getting Shovel Knight yet but i'm so glad i haven't now, i will be getting the complete collection for sure next april

@adf86 Well said, that certainly puts all this into perspective

@jdv95 haha yeah i guess, i don't understand the mentality myself, but then i regularly jump from console to console, i'm currently playing Doom on Switch, Sly 2 on PS3 and Secret Agent Clank on the PSP lol

I find it funny that for some that would be impossible to do, probably the same people who immediately ditch a console the second a next gen machine launches haha

God things like this annoy me so much, always makes me wonder just how many games/consoles these type of people miss out on over their obsession to only buy/play the most graphically impressive titles, god forbid they put gameplay before graphics lol

I actually don't mind the 'wheel' that much, i find it quite easy to use, though it takes a while to use admittedly lol

Why the hell is it not coming to Europe ? lol it makes no sense xD

Makes my decision easier though i guess, i will get Remastered on Switch, if i'd have gone for the bundle, i'd have only played one and then taken a long break before starting the second one anyway so i might as well just buy them individually haha

I only got into this style of game after becoming hooked on Bloodborne when it came out on PS+ earlier in the year, my god i couldn't believe how hooked i got on it, amazing game !!

Cannot wait, i haven't been so hyped for a game for a long time, i'm getting the edition with the lush steelbook

I'm really interested to see how Shenmue does, i really don't know which way it'll go, i don't think there'll be any middle ground with it, it'll either be a surprise hit or flop unbelievably hard.

I quite like the Berry Blue one too, if i needed a new DS 4 i'd probably get it.

The more i see of this game the more i want it, Bethesda are on a roll with their FPS franchises for sure

Looks amazing, day one buy for me !

Sly is probably my fave Playstation I.P it's an awesome series, i'm desperate for a new game, hopefully this series will lead into one

Spiderman, Megaman 11, Darksiders III, Tomb Raider, Spyro and Dragon Quest for me, i went with Spiderman as my vote, looking forward to all of these so much though

Really hope we get a new R&C soon, i guess it's more likely to happen on PS5 now though

That's a good comparison, i hadn't thought about it but yeah it does resemble the Acti Transformers games, i absolutely loved them, Anthem is like a mix of them and Dark Void, which on paper sounds awesome but something just isn't grabbing people's attention about it like you'd expect, it just all looks a bit....mundane.

Hopefully the full game will be good, it's really hard to tell at this point.

I feel like right now, and if Sony continue to be a one console company, they have enough studios, but if they do ever decide to create a new portable, they would absolutely need at least two more studios as back when the Vita co-existed with the PS4 it suffered for having to compete with it to gain games as most of the exclusive studios wanted to make PS4 games instead. So if the PS5 was to co-exist with another portable i feel like a few more studios would be needed, if not, then things are fine as they are

@David187 You obviously haven't seen the comments that were deleted, i don't want to rake them up as Tasuki has clearly said he doesn't want it to continue but i'm fine with people defending what they like actually, don't know where in my comment i've implied that i don't ??? lol

I personally really like Uncharted by the way

Looking forward to seeing what she comes up with, i think EA made a huge mistake interfering with her linear game, should have just let her get on with it and i'm sure it would have been a success, but EA are EA at the end of the day -_-

Jeez, people being ripped to shreds because they have the audacity to not like Uncharted, god forbid people are allowed to have their own opinions. Also love how the people calling others trolls are the ones doing the trolling, the same group as per usual.

Woah this looks amazing !

I don't care how long it takes personally, the original was amazing, take as long as you need to make the sequel worthy of the wait Ancel. One thing i appreciate is he's trying to enrich the giant world with interesting things, one thing i am totally bored of is huge open worlds that are just barren and unworthy of actually exploring so the idea of community input in filling it is quite innovative i feel.

My god Spiderman looks incredible !!

It was a great conference, the best they've had in years, the best thing to come from it was of course the news of five 'new' (ahem) studios which should improve their line-up going forward.

I liked the look of Horizon 4, Ori 2, Gears 5 and Crackdown 3 and great to have more Cuphead content, a new Halo and a new Battletoads announced and whilst it's true that the majority of games were multi-platform, i tend to get more third party games on Xbox than PS4 so lots for me to look forward to personally.

That doesn't say anything about attracting new people to the X1, i'm not sure the announcements today will do much of that but overall, as an X1 owner, i am happy.

Absolutely awful, as expected.

Games that would have excited me -

Titanfall 3
P VS Z:Garden Warfare 3
Alice 3 (i know but i can dream lol)
a single-player Star Wars game
a console C&C game......

...and nope, none of those appeared -_-

even Unravel 2 didn't impress me as it looks more like DLC then a true sequel, i hate co-op, so doubt i'll be buying that.

At least EA had the courtesy of being first, it can only get better from here ! lol

@Toast-rider I couldn't quite take to the Arkham Knight version, but then again, he didn't really appear that much so that might be why.

I would actually love to see a cgi Batman film based on the Arkham universe, it has the potential to be even better than the live action films i feel

Is it just me or is it really weird to see Shadow smile ? lol

Xcom 2, very nice !

I much prefer the asymmetrical design of the Xbox controllers, i have always found it much more comfortable, up until the PS4. I would automatically buy all third party games on Xbox purely because i found the dual-shocks so uncomfortable to use, but to their credit Sony improved the DS4 massively from the PS3 controller so it doesn't bother me as much any more,.

It's all about preference at the end of the day, i really think all three console manufacturers should offer both styles as official releases from the very start of a consoles life going forward, that's the easiest way of keeping everyone happy no matter which style they prefer, and more choice can never be a bad thing.

Great news, especially hearing they want to go back to some older franchises, there's still so much potential with I.P's like Ape Escape and Syphon Filter, i'd love for them to return, i really hope the Medievil remake is shown at E3, can't wait for that

@Toast-rider haha thanks, always nice to make a new friend

I totally agree about Scarecrow, he is one of my fave villains so i was sad that his time in the spotlight wasn't as focused on him as it should have been, i also didn't really like his total change from the Asylum version of the character, who was more scary i thought.

It's fantastic to see GOW do so well in the UK, along with the Switch re-releases, it's nice to see the 'UK has horrible tastes in games' trend break every now and then lol

I loved the Detroit demo so i hope that does well this week as well.

@YummyHappyPills Any right to ??? Tropical Freeze is incredible
