E3 2021 - Live watch Today

[DarkAmbient]

MS/Bethesda is the only show worth watching. And there'd better be a gameplay reveal of Bethesda's next title or 'disappointed' will be a massive understatement.

Not to fanboy or anything but E3 had stop being big for me before Sony backed out, Sony backing out killed any self doubts that I was being irrational. E3 is no longer and sometimes even harmful to some games. Its now made up of journalists who trying to manufacture dominance over their view of 'gaming culture' (not talking about journalists forced to be their or newer journalists grinding experience). publishers phoning it in, and smaller studios relutantly grinding publicity because they have to get publicity where the can. Sony pulling out means that the 'e3 bump' isn't worth it, otherwise shareholders would demand they be there. Makes me wonder what some of the smaller players sacrifice to attend the conference.

this is going to be a real "wow, its fucking nothing" filler e3 isnt it?

To many cinematic trailers with no gameplay and to many boring interviews about stuff that no one cares about.

Ubisoft has my vote but so far it seems like FromSoftware is the most popular, though I'm not sure whether it's popular because of the gaming media making it look more popular than it actually is, or if it really has mainstream popularity.

Well if we already past the best, that is sad.

[Poppincaps]

I think this E3 will be moreso updates on games we know about rather than new games we haven't ever seen. I mean Microsoft has basically shown their hand and we already know what pretty much all of their studios are working, Nintendo is likely to do a big reveal of what BotW 2 is. Maybe a game announcement or two but I wouldn't expect anything crazy. Square says they're revealing what Eido Montreal is working on. Other than that I just expect more details on games we know about.

The first E3 or two of a new console generation is always kinda meh. Plus with COVID slowing down development across the industry, it'll be even slower than usual. We got Elden Ring, so as long as we get BotW2 and hopefully Final Fantasy 16, I'll be pretty happy.

Well this was pretty underwhelming so far.

Who will win E3 this year? We only know it won't be Ubisoft.

Microsoft/Bethesda no doubt, the sheer volume of games they have under them now there's bound to be something good and from what i remember xbox show have always been the better ones with not so much bullshit and just trailer after trailer not some developer babbling over how diverse their cast is or some other nonsense with concept art in the background for 10min per game

Makes sense. We shall see.

[Video Games]

And just like always, its up to japan to save e3. Specifically nintendo, square and capcom

[Big Thanks]

Starts in 5 minutes (UwU) lets see...

[DarkAmbient]

Washington Post have already published a trailer and release date for Starfield. No gameplay in the trailer and a release date of November 2022. Yawn. I'll watch the presentation, hopefully there'll be more info and some gameplay but I doubt it.

Edit: Nope.

[Makabreska]

"Excellent" casting, as always.

This has been true for at least 5 years now.

[Makabreska]

Yaaaay, another zombie shooter.

They have been doing this since the disastrous E3 where they had nothing to show except cinematic trailers of games that almost all got cancelled. Now its probably the best show to watch if you actually want to see the gameplay part of a game. I hope they keep this up.

[Faldric]

Still have no idea what kind of game Starfield is supposed to be.

How much longer can one milk "Pirates of the Caribbean" The first (and probably only "good" ) movie is almost 20 years old.

Well, forgotten/overmilked franchises seem to be in fashion, seeing how we also get Avatar game.

[Easo]

I cannot help but think that this is Bethesda's version of Mass Effect, just more grounded one.

[qwerty123456]

Bethesda mods removing every negative comment lol. I got by with Failout 76 lol.

[Sughs]

I am so bored right now...

Considering they can't write for shit, are only barely able to produce semi-competent shooting mechanics and their idea of RPG elements is even more basic than Bioware's, that's not exactly grounds to be excited about if you ask me.

STALKER 2, however, now we're starting to talk.
