Whoa, that's a big list. Well, the show was over 2 hours long (including the cringy pre-show quiz). So many games, yet so little interest... While there were a few interesting games, the show overall was pretty disappointing for me. Lots of early access games (I HATE early access, but that would fill another blog post), quite a few battle royale games (what did you expect? it's the current hype!) and generally genres which I don't like.
All in all I was only excited about 2 games. The first one is probably a game I'll never get to play: Stormland. Of course it's a VR game (did I tell you about my love for VR? :P), unfortunately it's an Oculus exclusive and I only have a PlayStation VR. The footage looked absolutely gorgeous and overall it sounded like a really solid game with a good idea behind it. I'm crossing my fingers, that it'll be only a timed exclusive and that the game will also come for Vive and PSVR sometime later.
The other game is from one of my favorite franchises: Overkill's The Walking Dead. While I like the Telltale Walking Dead Series, I definitely love realistic graphics and first person games a lot more. This one is right up my alley. I just hope that it won't turn out a disaster like that AMC Walking Dead game. Remember that one? Probably not, because it was removed from all stores and everybody involved hopes that that game is forgotten forever.
That's it for the PC Gaming Show. I still have 2 shows to go: Sony and Nintendo, they'll follow tomorrow and the day after.
