Go look at the Polygon link that I posted. Buried in there is a comment stating that you'll be able to create your own character.

Good to know. Raises my interest a fair bit.



Heh. Watching the Beth conference... apparently Prey is getting a hide and seek mode like the terrible 5 on 1 horror games of the last couple years.
Eh...
So far
Rage 2
various ES games- card game reboot,
more ESO... next will be werewoofs
Prey expansions
Doom Eternal... giant tentacle monsters making out with skyscrapers or something
Wolfenstein Youngbloods with BJ's twin daughters (which... eh. Don't read the replay of the live chat on this one. Unpleasant)

Finally fallout... well. Blather from Todd Howard about E3.

Wait. No. A wild Skyrim trailer appears!
This is a little bit hilarious.

Fallout in fallout thread.

And... a brand new ES game.... on iPhones. ES: Blades.
Walk paths and hack monsters (and a cow-clicker town builder for some reason). The graphics are... pretty good, but its on a bloody phone.
Oh, but also apparently console and PCs as well. But the big selling point is playing it during meetings on your phone.
Free. So... I assume literally a cow clicker with micro-transactions to play more.
But preorder now. For the free game. <.<


No announcement of a real ES game... but wait.
New game franchise. "Starfield"
Trailer is a planet, a fairly retro-looking satellite and an explosion.

Ah... but wait.
Elder Scrolls VI: Sweeping Coastline with Dramatic Music, the Game
Take 20 seconds of an aerial camera swoop.

No real info on those last two.

Holy gak yeeeeeeeesssssssssss!




'More powerful slayer'

By the end of the first game, you were ripping apart half a dozen barons, a dozen hell knights, plus mancubi, revenants, dozens of imps and corrupted humans in the end game arenas.

Does the slayer need to be more powerful?

'Twice as many demons'

Oh, right. Yeah, okay.

Add Rage 2 and Wolfenstein Youngblood and it's a great time to be a fan of id's old properties.

Devolver Digital E3. Apperantly this is a thing.
Ho boy, hope it goes well. I remember seeing this on Two Best Friends Play years ago, and adoring how over-the-top “feth yeah ‘Murica” is was. Really wasn’t expecting Metal Wolf Chaos to get a Western release, nevermind a remaster.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey...assuming it actually drops in 2018.

Hmmm into August and nothing has blown me away this year :(

Aside from Tomb Raider only other title I'm really looking forward to right now is GTFO for me, a coop shooter in the same vein as Payday 2, but with a horror setting. Previews so far have been most promising and I just found out Simon Viklund is doing the music, so yes!

They just unveiled a bunch of Doom Eternal footage, so now this is the only shooter I care about. 2018 has been a lousy lousy year for games IMO. Only game I bought was JWE and that is maybe a 7/10 game at best, got boring quick.

Battlefield still has my undivided attention.

Maybe Pathfinder: Kingmaker, but the new beta build (a month out from release) has even more bugs, and basic ones- bows deal no damage, stuff like that.

Hopefully fixable, but I really want to see feedback post release before I buy this one.
