The purple looks great, but not $55 great.

Too late for me. I'll catch up on the announcements the next morning whilst skipping past the awards. Hopefully there'll be some good surprises to wake up to.

I'll wait for official confirmation before getting excited. Before the PS5 release, there were a lot of strong rumours saying that it would be backwards compatible with PS1 and PS2 games. Disappointing that it never happened.

@lolwhatno This game was hugely popular at launch. It was inevitable that the excitement for this game would quieten down to a more reasonable level. There's still plenty of players though, and it's nice to see the developers continue to support the game.

I kind of lost interest at Season 5. The jungle theme and its content didn't really click with me. Party Spectacular could be great, depending on the new games of course. So I'll give it a try once it's out.

That was unexpected. I thinking they would wind down on the new content once the last season of sin ends.

New maps and story is great to have. And hopefully the Elusive Target Arcade will let us replay the targets as many times as we want.

Still playing Persona 3 Portable, and I was planning on getting started with Yakuza Kiwami 1. Might find another game to get started on as well.

Soundtrack is my biggest concern. The licensing issues are a complex area, and it would be a surprise if they managed to keep every original track. But as of now, there's no clue as to how many songs will be cut.

I like the art style. It keeps the original style whilst improving them. And £55 isn't really unreasonable for 3 great games.

I'll give Squid Game a try once all the hype dies down. When it's this popular, my expectations will be set too high for it.

Bloodshore looks fun, and I do enjoy the FMV style games.

The Lives system was the big reason why I stopped playing the Vita game. Being expected to clear all those levels in one sitting with very limited lives just wasn't fun to me. Glad to hear this one doesn't use lives.

Good to see them resolve this issue.

Deltarune Chapter 2 now that's been released. Also continuing on with Zanki Zero: Last Beginning, Persona 3 Portable, and Professor Layton and Pandora's Box.

That lame. I only put up with this for Hitman as I'm super fond of that series, but I don't care about GT enough to support this practice with GT7.

All the DLC seems a bit much, and is kind of putting me off getting the game at launch. I might wait for a sale before getting the base game.

Weird, but I like the style of it.

After Geoff's promise of a character you "won't believe" coming to Super Monkey Ball, getting a perfectly believable character like Morgana is a bit disappointing.

Oh wow, that is brilliant.

That is brilliant. That is making the game all the more tempting.

Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth. I'm finishing off the final case. It's a good Ace Attorney game, better than I was expecting.

GTA: Chinatown Wars. Once I got used to the 2D top-down perspective, it's been fun. I've just completed the main story, though I'm not sure yet whether to go for 100% completion or not.

Earthbound. Playing through it for my very first time. It's a good RPG so far.

Jungle is a good idea for a theme. I'll give the new stuff a try.

Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise (aka Rhythm Heaven Fever). I've cleared all the main games and final remix, so there's just a few side games left for me to check out.

I'm also in the latter parts of Okami, and in the middle of Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth.

Not a lot really interested me tbh. That Lost Judgement trailer is looking great, and Moss is looking fine for the VR players, but that's about it.

Vice City was such a great setting in the original game. Very colourful and vibrant. As long as Rockstar nails the single player campaign, then I'll be excited for this. Not sure I like the idea of a Fortnite-style map though.

That's quite a neat thing to do actually. It's only another month until the Director's Cut releases, so I may as well wait for that and then play it.

Awesome. I was always eager to get the original, but never got around to it. The Director's Cut is the perfect place for me to jump into this game.

Ghost of Tsushima does look great. I haven't gotten around to buying it yet, so a Director's Cut would be the perfect place for me to jump into it.

Finishing off Subnautica. Also starting playing the Wii games Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise and Okami.

Looks cheesy, but I'd probably quite enjoy this.

That limited movement thing is quite a cool twist for the Sloth update, though I still don't think the Season of Sin DLCs are worth the price. I'll have a go at the two elusive targets once they're available.

Despite all the complaining about E3 from this site, there's actually quite a few games here that I'd be interested in playing.

@get2sammyb I did read the article, that doesn't mean I agree with it. Nintendo had a great show, and Microsoft's was fairly average. The third party shows were disappointing, but I'll put it down partially due to the global pandemic over the last year.

I played it at launch, but it was sure in a bad state back then. If the patches have made things significantly better, then it's fair enough that it should be relisted in the store.

Eh, I feel like there might be a bit of bias here since Sony wasn't there. If they were there with an average show instead of Microsoft, I think this place would be singing E3's praises.

I played this just a few months ago on Wii U. It was pretty decent overall.

Lovely, the Monkey Ball games do look so much fun.

It still surprises me whenever I remember that the original game was on Game Boy Color. It can't have been easy to get it running on that system, they went all out with it.

That previous trailer was so good. That had fluid and intense combat, and seemed like it would be a lot of fun. In contrast, the battling in today's trailer just seems so bland.

Looks alright I guess. For a Platinum game, the combat does look a bit underwhelming here.

Could be great, obviously depends on how good the writing is in the game.

Mostly just doing some Monster Hunter Rise and Subnautica. Might play some rounds of Fall Guys as well.

It's been on my radar for a long while now, so this seems like a good place for me to try it out.

There was also that 2B costume heading to Fall Guys. Nier Automata is one of my favourite games, and I do love to play some Fall Guys, so I'm excited for that.

Elden Ring also looks excellent.

It was alright. Elden Ring was great to see, and I'm eager to unlock that 2B costume in Fall Guys.

Okay, I'm starting to see why people were hyped for this. It's looking pretty sweet.

This could be great, I'm cautiously optimistic about this one. The Ego system with the combat sounds like a fun twist.

I'll give it a watch or at least have it on in the background if I'm not too busy. There could be some interesting announcements, but I'm not expecting too much from this one.

Nice review. I'd likely have a lot of fun with this, though the price seems a bit high for a short game. Glad to know there's various side content, such as collectables and an arena.

I'm excited for it. Nintendo is bound to have some new games that appeal to me, and it'll be good to see what Microsoft's studios have been working on. And Devolver's streams are super entertaining.

As Sony is remaining quiet, it's looking less likely they'll have some announcements during this period. Hopefully we'll get a State of Play not too long afterwards.

Hoping to get a bit more Subnautica played. Also doing some more Monster Hunter Rise, and should be able to get to the end of Man of Medan.
