The last press conference of E3 was by my least favorite publisher: Nintendo. Yes, you can hate me now, but I simply don't care for Mario & friends. Granted, Nintendo has some good franchises too, but unfortunately there weren't any good new games lately from those (Starfox, Metroid, F-Zero). The list of games and announcements is pretty long for a 42 minute showcase, but it's mostly because there was a segment where they've thrown a new game on screen every 2 seconds, so here you go: Daemon X Machina Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna - The Golden Country Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee and Pokéball Plus Super Mario Party Fire Emblem - Three Houses Fortnite Overcooked! 2 Killer Queen Black Hollow Knight Octopath Traveler Starlink - Battle for Atlas (with Switch exclusive: Starfox) Arena of Valor Minecraft Sushi Striker - The Way of Sushido Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle Donkey Kong Country Pixark Just Dance 2019 Dragon Ball FighterZ Splatoon 2 - ...

The second to last showcase was by my personal favorite console maker: Sony. The list of games and announcements is pretty long here, so let's get right to it: The Last of Us Part II God of War "New Game +" officially confirmed Call of Duty Black Ops III "Back in Black" Maps Call of Duty Black Ops III as a free PS+ game this month Countdown to E3: Tetris Effect Days Gone Twin Mirror Ghost Giant Beat Saber Destiny 2: Forsaken Ghost of Tsushima Control Resident Evil 2 Trover Saves The Universe Kingdom Hearts All-in-One for PlayStation, including: Kingdom Hearts III Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix Kingdom Hearts HD II.5 Remix Kingdom Hearts HD II.8 Final Chapter Prologue Death Stranding Nioh 2 Spider-Man From the After-Show: Déraciné dreams PlayStation VR Showcase: Trover Saves The Universe, Tetris Effect, Moss, Ghost Giant, Beat Saber, Firewall: Zero Hour, Doom VFR, Creed - Rise To Glory, Evasion, Star Trek Bridge Crew, The Persiste...

Acutally, it's not a press conference, but somehow it has been tradition for the last 4 years to have a PC Gaming Show, so also added it to my list. There's been quite a lot of announcements: Satisfactory neo cab Mavericks: Proving Grounds The Forgotten City Star Control: Origins Hunt Showdown Archangel: Hellfire The Sinking City Warframe: The Sacrifice + TennoCon/TennoLive Sega (coming soon to PC and world premiere announcements): Shenmue I + II Shining Resonance - Refrain Yakuza Kiwami Valkyria Chronicles 4 Yakuza Zero Killing Floor 2 - The Summer Sideshow: Treacherous Skies (the 2nd of 4 major updates in 2018) Road Redemption Maneater Untitled Publisher: Bravery Network Online Morning Star Overwhelm Jurassic World: Evolution Stormland Night Call Sable Star Citizen Alpha 3.2 Acer Predator (this was basically an ad break)  Genesis Alpha One Don't Starve: Hamlet Just Cause 4 and the Apex Engine Overkill's The Walking Dead Telltale...

Ubisoft had a pretty solid press conference, but there were only 2 games that really interest me, so this will be another relatively short post. The games/announcements: Just Dance 2019 Beyond Good & Evil 2 Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege Documentary & Competitions Trials Rising Tom Clancy's The Division 2 Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle Donkey Kong Country Skull & Bones Transference Starlink - Battle for Atlas For Honor Free Starter Edition & Marching Fire The Crew 2 (+ open beta) Assassin's Creed: Odyssey Okay, who the hell keeps buying Just Dance so that Ubisoft keeps making it? I simply don't understand. Beyond Good & Evil 2 was announced last year with an awesome trailer (actually the last trailer of Ubisoft's 2017 E3 press conference, if I remember correctly). This time we've got even more sweet cinematics. If the game will be half as awesome as the stuff they've shown - it'll be beyond good. I'm ...

The third day started with the press conference of Square Enix, so let's do that next! The games are: Shadow of The Tomb Raider Final Fantasy XIV Online: Stormblood Final Fantasy XIV Online Patch 4.3 - Under The Moonlight Final Fantasy XIV Online x Monster Hunter World The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit Dragon Quest XI - Echoes of an Elusive Age Final Fantasy Brave Exvius x Dragon Quest Babylon's Fall Nier: Automata - Become as Gods Edition Octopath Traveler Just Cause 4 The Quiet Man Kingdom Hearts III For Final Fantasy fans this was probably a great  press conference, I on the other hand could skip about 80% of it... Shadow of The Tomb Raider got a more extended look this time, even with some nice stealthy gameplay in the Mayan jungle. I can't really add much that I didn't already mention in the Microsoft post, so I'm just gonna say: looking good! ;) Just Cause 4 - same as Tomb Raider. It was already announced at the Microsoft con...

WHAT. THE. FUCK. DID. I. JUST. WATCH?!?!? I think this is the question on everybody's mind after watching Devolver Digital's "live"stream, a.k.a. their "Big Fancy Press Conference". You really have to watch it. Trust me it's worth it: List of announcements: SCUM Lootboxcoin My Friend Pedro - Blood, Bullets, Bananas Devolver Digital Entertainment System Classic Metal Wolf Chaos XD I'll let you decide which one of these is real and which ones are just for the show. Have a great day/morning/evening/night!

Today I have been really productive (*taps on shoulder*) and have 2 posts for you, so let's jump right in! Bethesda really outdid themselves by showing quite a few games in the first half of their press conference, then showing basically only 2 more in the second half. Here's the complete list of announcements: Rage 2 The Elder Scrolls: Legends The Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset DOOM Eternal Quake Champions Prey Mooncrash & Typhon Hunter Wolfenstein II for Nintendo Switch Wolfenstein Young Blood Wolfenstein Cyberpilot Skyrim Very Special Edition Fallout 76 Fallout Shelter for PS4 and Nintendo Switch The Elder Scrolls: Blades Starfield The Elder Scrolls VI The show kicked off with a bang: Andrew W. K. on stage, performing live to "introduce" Rage 2 . I have to say, I didn't really like the original Rage. It wasn't a bad game and maybe it was my mistake to rush through the storyline instead of exploring, but it didn't really f...

Maybe it wasn't a good idea creating a list of games for each press conference. Microsoft made my job really hard with the Xbox Briefing by showing 50 (FIFTY) games in less than 1 hour and 40 minutes. My list will be even longer, since I included non-game announcements too. Let's jump right into it! Halo Infinite Ori and The Will of Wisps Sekiro - Shadows Die Twice Fallout 4 on Xbox Game Pass Fallout 76 The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit Crackdown 3 Nier: Automata Become as Gods Edition Metro Exodus Kingdom Hearts 3 Sea of Thieves Cursed Sails & Forsaken Shores Battlefield V Forza Horizon 4 Microsoft Studios acquiring 5 game studios We happy few PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Sanhok & War Mode Tales of Vesperia Definitive Edition The Division 2 Xbox Game Pass FastStart Then... a bunch of independent games from ID@Xbox: Outer Wilds Afterparty Kingdom: Two Crowns The Golf Club 2019 Warhammer Vermintide II Fringe Wars Below Conqu...

It's that time of the year again! E3 is upon us! E3 kicked off yesterday with the first press conference held by EA . This time I'm gonna make this a little bit different from previous years, by presenting you with a full list of games shown (or announced) and then writing a few sentences about the games I'm personally interested in. Here are the games in order of appearance: Battlefield V FIFA 19 Origin Access Premier (well, not a game, but an announcement) Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Star Wars Battlefront II Unravel two Sea of Solitude Madden NFL 19 Command & Conquer Rivals Anthem So let's talk about the last 2. C&C Rivals will be a mobile real time strategy game. Most likely free-to-play, but hopefully not pay-to-win ( we know how free-to-play games look at EA - remember Need for Speed No Limits? ). It's interesting to see an RTS game on mobile - a curious attempt to make a game in a genre which desperately needs to be played ...
