That was not a game reveal/teaser as his new company is still sourcing game engines but more a fcuk you to Konami.

Norman Reedus is featured due to being the face of the now cancelled PT.
The character was shown to be free of handcuffs just like Kojima is now.
The baby vanishing was him getting kicked off the MGS team and the franchise he created.
The five figures floating in the air were previous MGS titles.
The slime on the characters hands is Konami ****ting on much love franchises by using them on slot machines.

I'm sure there is more symbolism in it but that's all I can recall from memory

Do the crabs symbolise an STD the character picked up on whatever ship he was washed up from?

I shot a hell of a lot of Zombies in it... I mean infected.

It might have been a well done zombie story but there were still zombies in it.

Again, I agree they were essentially zombies, and if you were describing the game to anyone, you'd say they were zombies.

But by calling them something different and giving a different reason behind it it allowed them to make differences to what most people would generally consider zombie stuff. How differences between Runners, Clickers and Bloaters affect gameplay. Whereas with zombies, you just tend to have zombies.

Likewise with what looks to be the case with Days Gone, by having the zombies technically be still alive (rather than typical zombie where you either have to pelt them with bullets or get a headshot), one or two body shots will take them down. That would offset the number of zombies you have to face.

What I liked about the infected in The Last of Us was that they were based off a real virus, rather than some research gone wrong crap that most games use.

Anyword about the games footage we seen of Days Gone, was it from the PS4 or the PS4 Neo.

I really like the look of it but I am nervous that it could be PS4 Neo footage.

Captain Chaos

More than likely dev kit PC footage like most E3 demos.

Shuhei Yoshida said all games were running on Standard PS4

Kirby

Which is probably a bit of a mistruth anyway. "On a PC which we approximate (badly) to have the same power as a standard ps4" is probably more accurate.

Penn

Nothing shown at the Sony conference made me think it wasn't just a PS4. The games looked good, but not such mind-blowing graphics that you'd think it was anything but a PS4. Particularly having played Uncharted 4 recently and seeing what it's capable of.

Kirby

That's Naughty Dog though. They are better than nearly everyone else.

They had a gameplay demo at the end of the show

Basically

I love Zombie games/films etc and I think that would be a lot of fun at the start but would get very boring very quickly.

After E3 to be honest once the Neo launches I think I'll pick up a second hand PS4 so I can finally play Bloodborne and give a few other games a blast

I'll also get a Scorpio at launch.

we happy few looks interesting, but hard to know how it'll maintain that momentum through a full campaign. I get a big Bioshock inifinite vibe off it, but that game wore thin after a few hours as well.

Aw man, you need to get on Dying light immediately!

I will get it just playing the Witcher 3 now so I'll pick it up before I'm finished that.

I saw the trailer and thought it looked interesting. But the game itself is a survival roguelike, so very, very doubtful it'll be able to offer any narrative momentum in the long term.

The idea of having to 'conform' in an environment is a really intriguing idea, but sadly the gameplay looks pretty uninspired with clunky melee and a heavy emphasis on looting and crafting. The maps also look super drab - partially to make a thematic point, but lacking the strong world building seen in the intro sequence.

Hopefully it hides something more interesting, and can marry its promising themes with a game that does them justice.

The science in Last of Us was astoundingly bad. But then there's two things about that, only certain people like me would have noticed, and most importantly, you should never let that stuff get in the way of a good narrative.

I've been a zombie nut for the best part of a decade, if not more, but it's getting tiring at this stage that they're in everything. It just feels like lazy storytelling now.

I'm not saying it was accurate or whatever, just that the use of cordyceps was nice to see imo, even if it's not realistic. Though I do find cordyceps to be damn interesting anyway.

Anyway, to go back on topic, I'm happy to see zombie games if they are good, that's the most important thing about any game for me.

I'm getting the feeling Nintendo are taking a lot from Xenoblade Chronicles X... Including what suspiciously looks like the same engine.

Zero-Cool

I saw a bit of Angry Joe playing the new Deus Ex and it looked very average. Saying that, Joe was going full on kill mode which is the worst way to play it imo so probably wasn't the best portrayal.

Sony have came out and said that all their PSVR Demos are running on the original PS4 and not on the Neo, so it wouldn't surprise me if this was actually on the stock PS4.

Just finished the RE7 demo there.
Played it in the dark with headphones on.

Thought it would be scarier tbh and I completed it in 30 mins really taking my time. Felt it should have been longer.


The graphics are excellent though.

Grayditch

Why would you turn around and shoot max 10 zombies but let 30-50 get closer than they would have if you hadn't started shooting.


That's literally all I can think about when I think of that Sons Of Anarzombie game.

heebusjeebus

Did Fromsoft have a stand at E3 or do we know what they are working on these days?

Agreed, and if anything, the good games can get lost it the muck. I'd entirely dismissed dying light and only gave it a go because of game sharing. Turns out its one of my favourite games of this console generation.

I'd say that was purely just to repeatedly show the number of zombies and how they move etc. When you're actually playing, it'll probably just be a case of running like f*ck.

Ah yeah, I'm just being awkward. It did look insane the way they poured out, to be fair.

I just wanted to point out a few games that I thought looked fantastic that probably haven't received much coverage.

I Am Setsuna

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4txT2EicrHE

Basically a love letter to fans of the SNES JRPGs. I've heard some great impressions on this. The only disappointment is that it's not coming out on Vita in the west. Seems like a perfect fit for it. It's coming out on PS4 everywhere along with Vita in Japan.

Manifold Garden

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqBvOdUrB-M

From what I could tell, this game seems to be a puzzle game where like the witness, you can go anywhere. The art is really cool. Easy Allies had footage of the game (Youtube video isn't up yet) and it looked so good I thought.

Aragami

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-k63j2CPV4

Inspired by Tenchu. Enough said.

There are a few others like Kingdom Come Deliverance but I honestly wouldn't even know where to start with it.

Word is Dead Rising 4 isn't exactly exclusive. Could be timed.

Only for a year it seems.

On the subject of Manifold Garden, I've been following the development of that game for years. It appeared on TIGForums back in late 2013 under the name Relativity and he's documented his work on it since. May be of interest to some folk.
