E3 2018 Press Conference: Nintendo

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 -

E3 2018 Press Conference: Sony PlayStation

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

E3 2018 Press Conference: PC Gaming Show

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&

E3 2018 Press Conference: Ubisoft

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

E3 2018 Press Conference: Square Enix

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

E3 2018 Press Conference: Devolver Digital

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!

E3 2018 Press Conference: Bethesda

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

E3 2018 Press Conference: Microsoft (a.k.a. Xbox Briefing)

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

E3 2018 Press Conference: EA

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
