E3 2018!

Martin-O2 — Mon, 11 Jun 2018 15:42:04 GMT

Hey everyone,

This years Electronic Entertainment Expo is underway giving us a look at the roadmap for the gaming industry over the next year. With a ton of announcement's and trailers already in the wild we still have some big names to show off their stuff!

So far we've heard from Microsoft who announced over 50 new titles coming to the platform including some exclusive titles such as a new Halo game and Gears of war 5.

Bethesda has also taken the stage to announce their latest title in the Fallout series, a sequel to Doom, Rage 2 and a new Elder Scrolls title!

EA have announced more details about Battlefield V and shown some more gameplay from the upcoming looter shooter Anthem.

Still to come over the next 2 days are the presentations from Square Enix, Ubisoft, Sony and Nintendo.

Being a PlayStation fan I'm super excited to see what they have to showcase and I'm especially looking forward to hearing more about The Last of Us 2!

Have you seen anything you're looking forward to playing or are you still waiting on one of the up-coming announcements? Let us know in the comments below!

@Martin-O2 They are rumoured to announce a Rocksteady Superman game which had originally been talked about after the successful Arkham City release

Was watching some vids on YouTube last night and an advert for the new Fallout came on which looked really good.
Used to be really into PS games, but haven't really had any time for it since my daughter was born.

@gmarkj & @Martin-O2

Have you seen the trailer for Blades? Essentially Skyrim for mobile? I love Skyrim so I'm definitely looking forward to this very different experience -and Elder Scrolls VI of course.

I also watched Square Enix's press conference last night on Youtube and out of that I'm looking forward to the new game by the Life is Strange team (which is gonna be completely free) Kinda disappointed they didn't share more about the FF7 remake, but more info will surely follow later on!

@Anonymous You'll have to let me know if anything is announced around that!

@Tsidkenu1es, @jonsie Do either of you play mobile games? There a lot more casual than console/PC gaming.

@gmarkj The new Fallout looks really good! What did you used to play on PC?

@EmilieT Yes Blades could be really good! Loved Skyrim but not played in a long time so will have to dust off my copy for another playthrough before this comes out!

Did anyone see The Last of Us 2 gameplay? I won't post it here as it's quite graphic but looked amazing!

I haven't watched anything else game-wise @EmilieT - the Fallout one was an advert that played before the one I actually wanted was on.
You need to get your reading glasses on @Anonymous-02. I used to play on PS (PlayStation) not PC (Personal Computer)...

I think you're right @gmarkj Lets try that again, what did you play in PlayStation?

Re: E3 2018!

gmarkj — Tue, 12 Jun 2018 12:27:23 GMT

Bit of everything, but mainly first player stuff - Call of Duty, Resident Evil, Fallout.
Last few games were the Batman ones (Arkham Asylum, etc).
Way back when I was also a keen Pro Evo and GTA player, but that was a (long) while ago...

Nice! I used to be really into CoD but not been that into the recent titles. Currently playing through Mad Max which uses the same game engine as the Arkham games.

Hi @Martin-O2 ...answering your question...!

@Tsidkenu1es, @jonsie Do either of you play mobile games? There a lot more casual than console/PC gaming.

The only games I play...and they are only classic ones, are when I am in the W.C. ...Tetrix or Chess...

What do you have in mind?...

Re: E3 2018!

Martin-O2 — Wed, 13 Jun 2018 08:58:34 GMT

@Tsidkenu1es You can't go wrong with a bit of Tetris or Chess! There are so many mobile games to choose from these days it all comes down to preference. I quite like puzzle games as they keep the old cogs turning.

Old cogs @Martin-O2?? I dare say you have absolutely no idea about 'cogs getting old'

Re: E3 2018!

WD40 is quite useful.

My cogs long since seized up with ŕust!

Martin-O2 — Wed, 13 Jun 2018 14:18:12 GMT

@Cleoriff Haha that's just me being melodramatic

@jonsie Ahh yes good old WD40 or coffee as I like to call it!

I am a casual gamer but am a big fan of Remedy's output after following the development of Alan Wake for 5 years and then Quantum Break (I have the PC versions of both), their new game, Control, does look interesting.

Am still hoping for Alan Wake 2 at some point.

Re: E3 2018!

Martin-O2 — Thu, 14 Jun 2018 12:56:07 GMT

@Anonymous I never got to play Alan Wake or Quantum Break as I've always been a PlayStation user but I heard they were both amazing games.

@Martin-O2

If you've got a PC running Windows 10 I definitely recommend buying the PC ports (AW will run on 7 but QB is definitely Win 10 only) through Steam

@Anonymous Unfortunately I only have an old and super slow laptop at the moment so gaming on that is off the cards. I'm looking to upgrade soon though so will go for something with decent specs.
