E3 2018 • Page 59

No I've been waiting for the Switch version. I'm so excited, haha.

 

Have fun! Definitely one of the best games I've played in the last five years!

 

someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed today

 

It's funny you say that because I literally did. I woke up on the left side of the bed when I normally sleep on the right because it's a lot cooler near the window and stuff.

 

reading lots of new info/impressions of Sekiro and it all sounds so exciting. From Software are wizards who not only create incredible games but do it without taking 5+ years.

 

I wish we had release dates for Sekiro and Ghost of Tsushima. Two games I’m adding to my PS4 list.

 

Ghosts surprised me. It looks incredible.

 

I’m just getting out of work so I haven’t seen anything other than a write up of what Nintendo showed, but sounds pretty disappointing lol. Hard to believe Mario Party and Fortnite are the only surprises honestly, especially when they no showed Yoshi and Retro. Overall pretty weak year 2 is confirmed I suppose.

That said, I’d be singing a different tune if they’d held the Let’s Go announcement for today I guess, but I’m pretty skeptical about that game so idk.

 

I'm on the other side of the fence. I think it was perfect for Nintendo. While everyone else was looking to the future Nintendo focused on the now. All the games the announced and showed will be available within the next 12 months and some of them were even available today.

They had Mario Party, Fire Emblem, Captain Toad, Fortnite, Overcooked 2, Octopath Traveler, Splatoon 2 expansion, Smash, Daemon X Machina, and a console Pokemon game. I think that's really great considering Nintendo is known to do multiple Nintendo Directs throughout the year. We will definitely see more on Yoshi and such soon.

 

i imagine one more direct towards the end of summer, then a smash direct in november.

 

RE2 gameplay going on rn

 

Does it have Zombies?

 

Only seen one but yeah.

Looks great. New engine looks unreal.

They added survival aspects ie you can pick up wood and board up windows now. And the story is a bit different to give other characters a better backstory.

 

Nioh 2 gameplay coming up in a little bit.

 

Not sure if this was posted yet

 

Cyberpunk being 1st person immediately diminished any and all hype I had

 

More news from IGN about it

• Gunplay is faster than Deus Ex but slower than Borderlands
• Mantis arm blades melee weapon (seen in teaser image with the lady)
• Wall Run traversal ability
• Stealth mechanics exist, no specifics yet
• IGN details a sequence where the player does a stealth takedown on an enemy and then jacks into the enemy to get a schematic layout of the base the player was infiltrating.
• Branching dialogue options
• Open world is limited by Street Cred - certain areas unaccessible without the right level of Street Cred
• Clothing affects Street Cred
• Main Stats: Strength Constitution Intelligence Reflexes Tech Cool
• Side Quests can give you special upgrades and unique body parts unavailable elsewhere. Higher Street Cred gets you access to more side missions.
• Upgrades to your character directly affect your UI and your gameplay.
• Examples: Subdermal Grip increases V's gun damage and adds ammo counter to the UI, Optical upgrade allows V to Zoom in and Scan enemies/vehicles
• Four different damage types: Physical, Thermal, EMP, Chemical
• Scanning enemies can expose their weaknesses
• Equipment and Chip slots exist. Chip slot example: Dog-Sized Robot Spider follows and fights for V
• Drivable cars in huge sprawling city. City size still unknown. Driving freedom doesnt seem as open as it is in GTA V however.

 

I don't understand the hate for first person.

 

I didn’t know it was first person, but man that game is gonna be amazing.

 

Yo where that Nioh 2, and RE2 game play at?

 

There’s RE 2 gameplay all over YouTube.

 

You’re all over YouTube!

 

I think they just showed Nioh 2 stuff.

 

Really confused by the backlash over Cyberpunk being confirmed as FPS. Thought they said it was a while ago..

 

My thoughts exactly
