man this was one slow E3 for me, i'm looking at that list and none of those titles have me excited at all. that's fine though, especially considering how good the past ~6 months have been for releases. I'm wondering if they're holding back any big announcements for PSX, but i guess time will tell
i wasn't expecting a dragon age 4 teaser but i'm still a little bit disappointed it didn't happen. bioware's new ip doesn't really interest me at all at first glance but maybe once we learn more i'll change my mind on it.
Ubi have notoriously let themselves settle into a really dull formula for their games these days, but they've always had unique concepts. this sure looks like something to keep an eye out for!
as a media student in my final year I can confirm I have a dynamite position as a shelf stocker lined up for next july, can't wait to put that degree to work as a spare tea towel when the rest are in the wash.
(for real though this is very well done, I just hope they payed the guys for the work they put in. wouldn't have guessed it wasn't professionally done.)
I got my 20th anniversary copy today, it's so cute. I was expecting the artbook to be a flimsy booklet tucked inside, but instead they made it a proper hardback book with the game kept in the back. my only qualm is that the bit that holds the game in place is hard plastic like you'd find in old cd cases, and I have terrible memories of snapping discs in half trying to get them out. other than that, I was pleasantly surprised, an awesome thing to have to commemorate a series I've loved and a character I've idolised since I was very young.
@hi-drnick oh yea, I don't speak japanese at all but I can agree with that. it's an issue anime in particular has, it lives and dies on cliches. Still, I can't imagine a better fit for a magnificent bastard mc than the guy who voiced lelouch, the original magnificent bastard.
it's so weird but the more I think about it the more I really dig it. maybe it's the dead ocean and the floating people in the sky and also the total lack of any meaning or explanation but there's a real evangelion vibe going on which I love.
this still looks so promising. Only thing i have an issue with is the dialogue between characters, the bit we saw seemed really stiff and unnatural. The music for this game sound amazing too, very haunting.
looks pretty cool, actually. i didn't get far into the first game precisely because of the lack of personality, everything seemed so dull and lifeless. I do think it had a lot of potential though, and I'll be interested to see if 2 makes use of that potential in any meaningful way.
it's a little jarring to see such a contrast in mood to the last one. I can't say it's a bad trailer, though, there's certainly a lot of personality and energy in there but it's just a question of if that's reflected in the game itself or if they repeat the same mistakes. We'll see!
I'd love love love to see more of it, some actual gameplay or even another CG trailer to build the world some more. This game looks 100% my kind of thing so I'm very excited to see more. An actual release next year seems, yeah, really improbable. it'd be nice, and stranger things have happened, but if you want a game as well crafted and vibrant as the witcher's then expect to wait another couple years at least.

other than that, a very boring presser.

oh, and the game isn't too bad, either!

Re: E3 2016: Persona 5 Won't Have a Japanese Voice Option in the West
It's a shame since the japanese voice cast has some real talent. Not a deal breaker though, persona's dubs have so far been solid.

Re: E3 2016: Looks Like We Won't Be Seeing A New Elder Scrolls for Eons
I figured we'd be in for a long wait on the next ES. I don't mind, we'll see it eventually.
