Did Fastbreak from the old site make it over here?  Surprised he hasn't popped in on this thread.  IIRC, he did some work on the development of S&B.

[MillerEP 30,447]

Sony's press conference kicking off now.

[HornsOverIthaca 2,333]

Hope it’s good 

[HornsOverIthaca 2,333]

Might be getting a deliverance vibe here

[SlingeroGuitaro 189]

This looks awesome 

[HornsOverIthaca 2,333]

Designing the tent/venue to look like the scene from that trailer was impressive.

'intermission while our guest move to the next part of the experience.'

Incredible idea

[SlingeroGuitaro 189]

I say that...but this is essentially a loading screen.or an unskippable cutscreen

[HornsOverIthaca 2,333]

And now a different venue entirely.  That guy plays a mean bamboo flute.

[HornsOverIthaca 2,333]

Mongolians?  The fuck they doin here?  You Mongolians don’t tear down my shitty-wall!

[MillerEP 30,447]

I don't see button prompts for when to block or counter, so I'm super intrigued about the combat. this game actually looks pretty. This is definitely one I'm playing.

Ghost of Tsushima?  Hadn’t heard about that one until today

[HornsOverIthaca 2,333]

Oh hell yes

[SlingeroGuitaro 189]

Oh my

[SlingeroGuitaro 189]

Is that what a vagina looks like?

[HornsOverIthaca 2,333]

Kingdom Hearts 3 and Death Stranding are both games I’ll buy, play, hopefully enjoy, but have no idea what the hell is going on in either of them.

[MillerEP 30,447]

I'm so excited for this. I actually really liked the 1 that worked on PS2. Spider-Man 3 I think?

Do I have to wait for 2019 for Death Stranding?

YouTube Gaming is interviewing Kojima right now, so hopefully, he answers that.

Sony's Press Conference for those who missed it:

 

[GabrielsHorn 2,183]

I'm really surprised we didn't see the Avengers game that SE is working on. Seems like it's behind schedule, which is frustrating as the lack of good superhero games in the Marvel universe is evident. That being said, Spiderman makes me really, really jealous as a Xbox player.

Man, I'm hoping for a lot of these games we saw on E3 to come out this year. Based off E3 the games I want right now are(in no particular order)

Last of Us 2

Ghost of Tsushima

Death Stranding

Cyberpunk 2077

Spiderman(pre-ordered)

AC Odyssey(going to preorder)

Elder Scroll 6(I know didn't reveal much but  still)

Doom Eternal

Halo Infinite

Beyond Good and Evil 2

Wolfenstein Youngblood

 

I feel like all(except spiderman and AC Odyssey) will come out in 2019. If so, I think next year will be the better year for games compared to this. 

[Continental Op 3,934]

I think I'm hopping over the fence to the PlayStation ecosystem next generation.  

[bernorange 8,359]

Just got around to watching some of the Sony videos.   Initial thoughts:

Last of Us 2 - No HUD?  Gameplay looked super smooth.  Definitely in.  Naughty Dog delivers.

Days Gone - Looks a bit like Last of Us #1.

Ghost of Tsushima - Amazing environment.  They really put effort into the details to make the world seem alive.  Like Last of Us 2, I didn't notice any HUD.  Hopefully the combat isn't like Fury.  That gets really tedious for me.

Death Stranding - WTF?  Time (and space?) traveling delivery boy fighting invisible monsters with baby Quatto?  Mind blown.

Kingdom Hearts 3  - Too much anime for me.  Out.

@FunkSoulBrother - You listed games that are PlayStation (Last of Us 2) and Xbone (Halo Infinite) exclusives AFAIK.  Hope you have both consoles.

 

[FunkSoulBrother 930]

@bernorange I have both. Even got a Switch.

[bernorange 8,359]

Well, in that case, I hope you are really good at multi-tasking.  :)

[BrazilHorn 6,586]

The Death Stranding game looks beautiful but do you do anything but walk around?

[FunkSoulBrother 930]

Definitely getting Super Smash Brothers

It has something to do with whales bleaching themselves.  Whether that’s due to naval sonar systems is anyone’s guess.

Like the whales are bleaching their arseholes?

I hate to throw out this cliche term, but Last of Us 2 and Ghost of Tsushima truly look next-gen. If all of that was truly gameplay and not doctored in anyway (which I believe it is all legit), there are some incredible contextual animations going on in real time.

Exactly.  Also If you date a killer whale, no one will notice the black eyes.

Anyway...  what’s to look forward to this fall?

Spider-man - September 7

MegaMan 11 - October 2

Read Dead Redemption 2 - October 26

Fallout 76 - November 14

 

[Speedtrucker 2,071]

I’ll add Battlefield V.

Really like the sounds of the squad points system. Like they are slowly moving to what I liked about Project Reality

I am at e3 right now. Skull and Bones is definitely  surprising a lot of people. We took home the gamespot best of e3 award yesterday. 

I’ve been doing lots of live tweets from the show at #skullandbones.

[Fastbreak 3,979]

one of the best journalist gameplay videos. They had tons of fun.

Ah man, the envy I have for you is so great that it shows me that I still have a long way to go still in my journey through Stoicism.

I’m not surprised it’s winning awards though, the game looks beautiful, and Assassins Creed Rogue has been a favorite of mine simply because the sea battles. Make that multiplayer and you have a dream game.

[Speedtrucker 2,071]

Never played AC Rogue, before/after black flag?

I thought the sea portion of Black Flag was great. It was the first AC in a while that was really really fun to me. Mainly because I liked sailing around fishing and fighting.

[MillerEP 30,447]

Came out around the same time as black flag and unity.

[Fastbreak 3,979]

the Sea of Thieves team made a visit
