E3 2018 Coverage - videos, recaps, discussion

Anything on SoT yet? Such as them hinting at a trailer further on during e3, etc.

@sir-lotus thanks for the info! 4 o clock tmrw and 6 o’clock Monday for me, hope there is something cool that is sandbox related like the trumpet revealed, but that is more world related, than a player used tool, though we need more of those too.

Which update did they say would have a new ship? Or am I making that up lol.

@ant-heuser-kush @Sir-Lotus a reveal about that update would be nice, or maybe some sort of new concept art or a live q and a with the e3 crowd or something. Joe seemed to hint at something decent for e3 in that recent video

I find it hard to still keep hope for stuff like this but I can’t deny that I still love the concept for the game, and what they have so far. It just should have been farther by now.

@sir-lotus yeah I’m not big on the whole forced crossplay side of pushing things like game pass, but I can appreciate that revenue gained in that way is probably very positive for game development in some ways, such as indie titles getting funded to bolster their game library, and people get to “test” games like SoT and many more for a month for a few bucks, getting all the games a lot more exposure.

Just finished the EA conference; A slow but promising start. Not a lot of "wow!" factor, but some solid announcements still.

Anthem looks incredible (can't believe Disney/Marvel haven't made an Iron Man game with those flight mechanics yet though), but considering it's Bioware, I need a whole hell of a lot more story to get me properly invested.
It's a frickin' Bioware game, and after Andromeda's bomb, fans want to see a new incredible story, not just flashy gameplay.

EDIT; Kotaku did a round up of everything we know about Anthem so far; https://kotaku.com/everything-we-know-about-biowares-anthem-1826699016
I don't like it...

Battlefield V sounds very promising, but that Royale announcement kinda broke my heart a bit. There's too much Royale stuff going around right now, and I don't need any more.

Kudos to Andrea Rene for making a pretty low key conference work though, too many of these things just devolve into absolute cringe fests with bad host/guest combos, but she nailed it.

Lookin' forward to Microsoft's conference though. They've had some years now to dig themselves out of the hole Don Mattrick dug them into, so hopefully they can finally do an absolutely breathtaking E3 show.

I hope halo infinite is a survival RTS in the vein of age of empires, but merged with boots on the ground halo gameplay with the addition of troop control. Would be (can’t say freaking?) amazing.

Halo wars was a huge disappointment to me on the rts front.

What was the ending @Sir-Lotus ?

@triheadedmonkey What were those for exactly? I assume they've all been redeemed by now, just curious.

And hey, 793, 3rd from the bottom right in the thumbnail.

@ant-heuser-kush But... Redeemed what? Is it something I need to do go right now? 'Cause it's past 4 AM for me, and by all rights I should be sound asleep, but I don't wanna miss out on free stuff.

@ant-heuser-kush Yarr b****r it all... No doubt they've all been redeemed by Red Bull fueled 'Murican teens and Korean Uber-gamers by now...

@ant-heuser-kush Thank the Pirate Lord's bushy beard that was the version i bought! But well done CD Project Red and Microsoft for injecting that in there!
