As the new owners of From Software I'm most interested in waking up the next day to see what surprises they have.

From did hint very recently they had a totally new IP planned though I've no idea it thats at an announce trailer stage even. What ever it is.

From have been pumping out games and DLC expnasions almost yearly now so I wouldn't be surprised if something is shown or released. Bloodbourne was shown 2 years before release, I think.

Sure Sony 'won' E3 last year with Final Fantasy 7 and Shenmue, games we won't be touching for years yet - and one they wanted us to fund up front too.

Yeah, that was embarrassing for Sony last year.

Coming out asking their fans to fund Shenmue instead of getting behind the game themselves and simply announcing the game was coming.

They can't go too wrong this year by showing off some VR stuff.

I feel more embarassed for the sheeple gamers and press that fell for it.

Sony on the other hand knew exactly what they were doing. They had very little for the year and knew it but played it magnificently. Sony can't do anything wrong in the eyes of a lot of people and they know it and are playing up to it. In E3 terms it's a good thing for me. An over confident Sony breeds hubris which leads to hilarity but I doubt we'll see anything but a very confident showing from Sony. Unlike last year Sony now have a lot in the pipeline to back themselves up.

I'm still astonished that people actually went on to the Kickstarter and paid Sony to make it, knowing full well they'll have to pay for the actual game when it comes out.

It's baffling.

And they didn't. It was a great move.

This is all a business people; get over it.

the groutch

the problem with Shenmue was that they would have looked at the sales figures of Shenmue 2, and it's hard to quantify demand for a sequel on chat forums, so I can understand why they didn't want to front up big money.

realistically they probably should have dipped their toes in the water with a HD re-release of the first two, and decided based on that, but at the end of the day it's getting made and should make a lot of people very happy.

Retr0gamer

Honestly Sony knew that even if it didn't have much traction the extremely vocal minority that did care would drum up free PR for them.

Shenmue 3 when it does get made won't sell that well and the amount of backers is kind of small compared to what the game needs to break even. However the announcement probably sold a hell of a lot of PS4s indirectly.

If it ever gets made I'll be extremely surprised but the fact that there's a chance it will get made now isn't exactly a bad thing.

If half the people excited for it bought the past games it'd be something but I get the feeling most people who were excited never played it & the game had this mythical, nobody will ever make this status through word of mouth. I'd never back anything on Kickstarter but the poor explanation of it last year & then double dipping with Slacker Backer would turn me off the idea.
Strange that so much has leaked about E3 already even stuff like XCOM 2 for consoles announced is a big enough deal to be announced on stage. I'll puke if I hear any more remasters it's ridiculous at this stage.

Retr0gamer

There's always leaks around this time. You also have smaller publishers announcing games before E3. We got a western release date for Persona yesterday, that's all I need to be happy

One from 3 years ago I'd forgotten about is Below, it's been shown at e3 in subsequent years so hopefully we get to see that in a near finished state this year, but I don't recall seeing anything more about it outside of e3 events so I'm far from hopeful.

Better not watch the Skyrim and Red Dead Redemption remaster reveals then. Yeah I know there are a lot. even the PS4 and Xbox One consoles themselves are getting remastered

Kadokawa are also having an event in japan on the 13th so they clearly have some big stuff to announce

Unable to edit my post anymore but if a Mod can add that timetable, would be a good help alright.

They've been buying up quite a few high profile developers so have been making a big splash into videogame publishing so I'd expect some decent announcements from them.

Bioshock has been rumoured for ages too. They will be close to running out of last gen IP's soon enough, not much left when Resi 6 remastered is an actual thing that exists.
The best rumour I heard is Knack 2....:pac: :pac:

Every single second of this video is completely spot on :pac:

"At least Ubisoft started off this year right, with a sequel no one asked for, for a game no one ****ing liked"

For a pretty clued in guy, he's fierce annoying though. And that's coming from someone who is admittedly annoying

This is Francis, the character, not Steven, the guy himself.

I know, I just wish he'd stop :pac:

I like his stuff when he acts normal. Not the whole "Cartman freaks out and smashes his console" sthick

Like I know it's taking the mick out of the entitled gaming generation, but still, I maybe should have clarified "acting annoying"

Some people enjoy it though, and they're well marked so easy to avoid.
For the vast majority of youtube channels I'm subscribed to, there is certain content that I would routinely skip over.

Sooo... this was trademarked.

After Valve backing that Star Wars Battlefront 3 fan remake for a Steam release, I love EA to walk out on stage and announced Half life 3 just to **** with Valve and how ludicrous they're being.

Half Life 3 confirmed? Quick, go bump the Half Life 3 thread. It's been a while.
