what just happened
craggy belfry
WELL
primal inlet
devolver
craggy belfry
ok
willow crypt
Ha ha
stone trout
thanks for watching your annual E3 fever dream
see you guys tomorrow!
can't wait for Sony
primal inlet
no Advanced Gungeons and Draguns 
cinder vessel
I kind of expect Sony to be underwhelming after these
primal inlet
ohfukc
cinder vessel
Sony's gotta bring out somethin' surprising
grave elbow
Like nms next
winter yew
oh shit the PREY update is downloading โค
stone trout
Sony has got huge exclusives to show
cinder vessel
But they've also already talked about them before
stone trout
Spiderman alone is hype enough
reef depot
So long as Sony doesn't do something as cringe-worthy as letting a rock band on stage...
stone trout
I don't think they would, they haven't done anything like that in a long time, They did have an orchestra play the beginning, and it was from game music
primal inlet
so wait, is Mooncrash free?
winter yew
yes
reef depot
Don't care, it gets high marks for what "not" to do at an E3 conference.
primal inlet
whoa that's actually awesome
stone trout
stone trout
They did a piece from God of War
winter yew
wanna be fully awake
stone trout
they should have mic'ed the choir better though
reef depot
@stone trout I meant "cringe" worthy, not beautifully done work. ๐
winter yew
also I should probably finish PREY story some time
stone trout
@reef depot yup, I get you, I'm just saying that it's the only musical show I ever remember Sony doing
reef depot
If it actually works in favor of the game they're trying to show (eg = God of War) then it's acceptable.
stone trout
Aside from their weird motion control stuff from a few years ago
reef depot
But if it's like watching some guy randomly come on stage and trying to act like he's trying to play the drums... -shudder-
cinder vessel
The only thing that has me interested with Sony is the "and more" part of this: https://blog.us.playstation.com/2018/06/05/playstation-at-e3-2018-everything-you-need-to-know/
craggy belfry
what is starfield supposed to be
stone trout
yeeaaaaah....ubisoft is super guilty of bad music
winter yew
single player game
reef depot
And so long as it NEVER turns in to something like that Konami press conference back several years ago...
stone trout
that and Aisha Tyler just cannot connect to gamers no matter how hard she tries
cinder vessel
Starfield is just their, "Screw it, okay, we're working on this yeah, now bugger off"
reef depot
"Une Millyun Twoops."
primal inlet
if you thought bethesda started out weird I cannot wait for ubisoft
you being general
craggy belfry
i think overall this will be quite a good e3
reef depot
Ubisoft is borderline of "why do you guys continue to come to the conferences?"
craggy belfry
last years e3 was abysmal so lets hope so
cinder vessel
I guess Ubisoft will go further into Division 2 stuff and then the next Assassin's Creed, maybe Beyond Good & Evil 2 some more?
primal inlet
Already saw Division 2 so idk why I'll even bother with Ubisoft...but I will?
stone trout
I've really only liked Ubisoft because the South Park guys come on and talk shit for a bit
cinder vessel
I wonder what Square Enix will show...I'll probably sleep through that
primal inlet
JC4 and Shadow of the Tomb Raider
stone trout
I'm hopeful for Division 2. I played the first one a few months ago and it wasn't bad. Hopefully they don't pull a Destiny 2 and forget all the lessons they learned
reef depot
When it comes to E3 conferences, the old saying "Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it" applies heavally... like this cringe-worthy mess.
primal inlet
Exact same thought as you Cero
Massive seems to have been decent about learning from themselves but we'll see
stone trout
The best E3 moment will always be the Playstation price announcement
cinder vessel
Division 2 looks like it'll probably be solid for fans of the first (after updates), but it's not my kinda game personally, despite now having some interesting looking gadgets
stone trout
primal inlet
Understandable
I honestly just cleared Division 1's story and all missions and was done
And that took me...84 hours
so i'm happy
cinder vessel
I didn't really read anything about its story being noteworthy, then just read more about it being grindy/looter-esque and was like, "Nah"
stone trout
yeah, it was a good timesink, and they have a decent loot system
craggy belfry
mooncrash is $20
cinder vessel
Microsoft's indie showing has me pretty interested, a bunch of titles I'd not heard of until then. Sable looks really cool.
cinder vessel
Oof, that's a little stiff, but it is supposed to be a sort of "endless" mode thingy, if I understood Mooncrash right
reef depot
Mooncrash? More like Spinmerightroundbabycrash. ๐
cinder vessel
Tunic has me really split.
Oh fuck me, really? They slapped shitty DRM on Prey's PC version?
reef depot
Tunic reminds me of FEZ meets Steven Universe. c.c;
craggy belfry
wtf
primal inlet
that's not the part
craggy belfry
yeah but since when?
cinder vessel
Mooncrash is paid DLC so far as I'm aware
craggy belfry
is paid
cinder vessel
Fuck Denuvo
primal inlet
note the prices
craggy belfry
but wtf they put denuvo on it
primal inlet
please note the prices
cinder vessel
They probably need to sort the store page out still
If you look at it separately it shows correctly:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/865670/Prey__Mooncrash/
primal inlet
I'm not entirely sure about that, it seems like they might be pulling a Destiny
Waiting a day before I claim for sure but...it certainly would be a good way to boost what (IIRC) Zenimax considered to be an underperforming game
cinder vessel
Totally different note, Metal Wolf Chaos XD, that's basically a rerelease, yeah?
primal inlet
Yep
cinder vessel
Cool, that should be...Interesting
stone trout
I like Tunic. The synth music and the cute boxy visuals are unique
primal inlet
listen, I've been following tunic for probably five years
with not much to go on
all I want is a new indie zelda
primal inlet
they DID say it's been made by a single guy
someone posted about it in a fez forum back when that was dying down
2013ish
stone trout
Yeah I follow the guy, he puts out update vlogs monthly, I think
cinder vessel
Oh whoa
Something about the look of Tunic puts me off a little though
I'm not sure if it's the lighting, or what it is
But it really kind of shouldn't, since it's not too dissimilar in that respect from 3D Dot Game Heroes, the True Heart of From Software
Just imagine for a moment, if 3D Dot Game Heroes had been From's smash hit, how different things would be
cinder vessel
wait wait wait
wtf
how did I get this mixed up?
It was published by From in Japan
But it was developed by Silicon Studio
But it had an Easter egg area with From references
what
primal inlet
okay that's still interesting
I though From just did soulslikes and stuff like that
(although obviously...Metal Wolf Chaos)
cinder vessel
I mean they did spectacle fighters, mech games, and some quirky first-person RPGs before those
Or, maybe not spectacle fighters, but action/beat'em up sorta games
Oh, speaking of Metal Wolf Chaos, Devolver totally fucked up the advertising of that tho
...
fucking hell
primal inlet
...were they not actually joking
cinder vessel
See that Amazon link? You can go there
primal inlet
I'm looking at it
cinder vessel
the joke demanded it be made
primal inlet
Fail to collect all stones of Barenziah for like the 5th time
Unless someone posed as Zenimax Media Inc this is official
I mean, I get that game developers are human, but sometimes you wonder with all the corporate stuff
and then this happens
cinder vessel
Blergh. Starfield's page is also a load of nothing.
Guess we'll hear about that in 2023/2024
agile raven
cinder vessel
i'm joking, to be super clear
but it wouldn't shock me in the least
and also wow, someone's already checked to confirm the Alexa thing is real:
https://www.pcgamer.com/bethesda-reveals-skyrim-very-special-edition-for-alexa-etch-a-sketch-and-your-fridge/
hollow river
What's the tl;dr on Bethesda?
cinder vessel
Fallout 76 is always online multiplayer Fallout, Starfield & Elder Scrolls VI were announced, there's a new Doom called Doom Eternal coming out, more Wolfenstein in the form of Wolfenstein Youngblood, a standalone game that can be played solo or coop and a VR title called Wolfenstein Cyberpilot
There's also more stuff going on for Quake Champions, Elder Scrolls Online, Elder Scrolls Legend, a new mobile Elder Scrolls title called Elder Scrolls Blades that's more like the typical Elder Scrolls stuff, and Fallout Shelter's on Switch & PS4 now.
But most importantly, there's more Prey content
cinder vessel
I mean, it's a multiplayer game
That's the norm for that sort of thing
It's multiplayer in the Destiny sense, at least as I read it
hollow river
Yes, but I don't feel like the Fallout community wanted a continuously multiplayer game. At least from what I've seen.
cinder vessel
You're meant to always be playing in this shared space
Yeah, I'm curious to see how it goes down, since that's not the sort of game I'd think to want to play with others
Oh fuck, I keep forgetting, Rage 2 was also shown some more
And it's kind of funny because it's basically reiterating some of the story beats from the first one
"An asteroid fucked things up, you lost everything, now go fuck up these Authority bastards"
hollow river
But then again, it's not a typical fallout game. It's set before the 'super mutants' or whatever were created.
cinder vessel
I feel like Rage 2 might be their sort of, "Hey, here's another post-apocalypse to play single-player if ya don't want Fallout 76"
hollow river
Yeah could be.
cinder vessel
It's really weird to think that they're trying to run two post-apocalyptic franchises side by side
meager panther
I didnt see the star field trailer..but how is it?
gaunt hare
I love how video game corporations are always making games about evil corporations.
Fight the power man
It's just a teaser.
Shows space.
Still screamed
Space and a floating space station
meager panther
Can u land on planets?
gaunt hare
Haha
primal inlet
they're going for a nice triumphant type of space RPG it looks like, which I like
it's not "we lost our home planet and everything sucks"
hopefully
gaunt hare
I'm super excited to see Bethesda do its first new IP in years
meager panther
Well i can always use a nms type game made by a AAA studio
gaunt hare
I'm hoping it's more star trek
tough heron
i don't think it'll be nms type
gaunt hare
Or hyperion
tough heron
i'm hoping mass effect done by way of elder scrolls
gaunt hare
Mass effect is a great example too
meager panther
I dont understand why no AAA corp is trying a nms style game
gaunt hare
Romantic space
primal inlet
me too thanks but keep in mind we have 1 minute of space footage to go off of
things we know:
- planets
- satellites
- there's a hyperdrive
that's IT
gaunt hare
They might have if nms hadn't been such a disaster in the news
tough heron
they know the kinds of games we expect from them, i'm assuming its like their other ones until told otherwise hahaha
meager panther
With 300+ staff... some AAA company should def try and create a nmsesque game
tough heron
that speaks nothing of its specific features however
meager panther
Yeah i gotta watch the star field teaser sooinsh
gaunt hare
I know people aren't loving fallout 76 necessarily, but I can't wait to see how the better visuals look in starfield and es6
tough heron
i'm in love with fallout 76
gaunt hare
I'm going to play the beta.
tough heron
i never got the trepidation around it being multiplayer tbh.
gaunt hare
We should look into what those starfield leaks said
cinder vessel
I want Starfield to be as different as it can be
gaunt hare
Well, my brother actually predicted this. When he played fallout 4, he said "if they are going to focus on different things than deep roleplaying might as well just make it online"
cinder vessel
It's not a loot shooter though, it's a survival game
gaunt hare
The whole building and defending and combat and mission focus
tough heron
one thing raised by skip was how on earth vats would work
gaunt hare
Crafting.
tough heron
i guess real time targeting?
craggy belfry
its going to be a verry different game
cinder vessel
It's how they avoid latency issues
primal inlet
yeah a couple of people were wondering that in VC at the time
maybe it just doesn't
did you see an AP bar in any of that footage?
I didn't
cinder vessel
Every time rubberbanding or skipping happens the game switches into VATS mode
tough heron
or will bethesda yet again prove their mastery of the outdated creation engine and somehow break spacetime to slow down time relatively
tough heron
theres an ap bar right?
gaunt hare
Still going to be the same thing, but it's something
primal inlet
hmmstdve
primal inlet
yes it's good
gaunt hare
I love the lushness
primal inlet
FO4 let you customize it, didn't it?
gaunt hare
You can customize the UI color in other fallout games
tough heron
yup
gaunt hare
So did new Vegas
tough heron
yeah
primal inlet
unreasonable to think they wouldn't, then
gaunt hare
Did 3?
tough heron
i just dunno what they're taking or leaving when they go multiplayer
seems obvious but who knows
gaunt hare
Nuking the map sounds cool to me.
primal inlet
IS this running on Gamebry-sorry, Creation, though?
gaunt hare
It is.
craggy belfry
curious to see how they make it so you can nuke and set fallout onto the land
tough heron
god what if the map was voxel based hahahaha
primal inlet
It'll be interesting...I imagine they've had to dig pretty deep into the engine to implement multiplayer
tough heron
/s
primal inlet
Memories of those Skyrim multiplayer mods barely working
tough heron
thats why i KNOW they have the ability to warp relative time
they can do ANYTHING with that fucking engine
cinder vessel
wh...why would anyone give themselves that headache @primal inlet
tough heron
cos mods
cinder vessel
that sounds like misery
tough heron
cos skyrim
primal inlet
people wanted to play skyrim multiplayer ๐คท
tough heron
speaking of mods
cinder vessel
yes but that would be such a pain
primal inlet
Literally why they're making 76
tough heron
anyone up for vc or nah?
cinder vessel
If you ever want even a slight idea of trying to handle multiplayer stuff try making a multiplayer map in Doom SnapMap ๐ต
And that's with built-in support/tools
primal inlet
I haven't had the pleasure, what's the biggest issue with it?
cinder vessel
I really want to know if they bring back modding/SnapMap with Doom Eternal
The big issue is that, so far as I'm aware anyway, you have to repeat a bunch of logic to handle each player separately
Which makes sense, but is a fucking nuisance
primal inlet
...Oh
cinder vessel
And yeah, sure, you can copypaste the logic, but then you have to ensure you've changed all the settings for each node correctly
craggy belfry
multiplayer logic is complex in nature
cinder vessel
Exactly, yeah, so trying to shoehorn it into a game that didn't have support for it sounds like a nightmare
primal inlet
IIRC all those multiplayer Skyrim mods treat other players as NPCs that receive their commands from networked PCs instead of any kind of AI logic
hopefully Beth has a better solution for FO76
craggy belfry
thats why im anxious for next
cinder vessel
They almost certainly do, yeah
craggy belfry
such a complex thing to implement
even though they already have the baseline its still a very complex task
craggy belfry
surely im not banned from talking about nms in the other games chat
thats ludicrous
gaunt hare
Shhh
craggy belfry
plus it was in conversation with other games
gaunt hare
They'll hear you
primal inlet
prey mooncrash certainly approached fast
craggy belfry
i want to know if thats any good
gaunt hare
Ng plus babyyy
craggy belfry
im curious to check out that moon mode
tough heron
dude
cinder vessel
lol
tough heron
like lowkey vr prey prop hunt is one of things i'm most excited for
like holy shit
that sounds amazingly fun
primal inlet
turn into an apple...in VR

you can get into the 4x4 and actually drive around the park though ๐ฎ
into the dinosaur enclosures

well i don't know too much about games like that, i'm more interested in that new prey dlc/update ๐
prop hunt in space with scary goo monsters
uncut bramble
ohhh I love prop hunt
tough heron
and also a roguelike mode
and a survival mode with like bone breakages, suit durability with oxygen leakage and weapon durability
shits intense
i mean for real i'm gonna have to save to get ps+ for NMS NEXT
but i can dream
that and fallout 76
reef depot
Hey guys.
Remember how we all had a good chuckle at Skyrim on Alexa and such?
... turns out, it's not a joke... well, it is, but it's real. c.c;;;
reef depot
Yeah, apparantly for the US only it seems but still.
How many times did they roll with a joke during this years E3? n.n;;;
- Walmart leaks Rage 2
- Skyrim for Alexa
- Todd knows about the "bugs" in the games... and because it came from the internet, it must be true.
tough heron
they adressed every joke against bethesda
hell they even got the Preston Garvey hate in there
uncut bramble
Fucking love it. Seriously one of my games of this year
craggy belfry
Whats the main selling point of jurassic world
uncut bramble
Amazing memorable moments
craggy belfry
like you build a theme park with dinosaurs
meager panther
Well detroit lost everything after the car industries there collapsed /s
uncut bramble
Jurassic world is just a theme park sim with dinosaurs
craggy belfry
thats it
brisk merlin
Yes
craggy belfry
well lets hope they do the theme park bit well
meager panther
Its a glorified simulation game that made its way to PC from the mobile game market
uncut bramble
Exactly. I love theme parks. I love dinosaurs. So itโs to my demographic lol
uncut bramble
No itโs console and pc
brisk merlin
Matt I wish I had a ps4 so I could play Detroit

And there wonโt be theme park rides and stuff as such.
brisk merlin

There are two jurrasic park builders for android

Kev come and play
craggy belfry
do the dinosaurs do anything cool
like do i get to send them to arenas or something
uncut bramble
The dinosaurs do a lot coool lol. They can break out and get sick and stuff
brisk merlin
Matt I'll come over ;)
craggy belfry
to battle to the death in front of thousands of people
brisk merlin
Lmao
uncut bramble
They do fight squid
meager panther
Will it eat people who are taking dumps?
craggy belfry
so thats the thing that makes it cool
brisk merlin
Yes
uncut bramble
๐
craggy belfry
is it like sims meets the orcs from shadow of war
meager panther
Lol thats the best part where it eats the accountant lmao
I hope it has a story mode with the film/novel based one
craggy belfry
can i put a trex in a massively undersized cage and make it mad
meager panther
Hehe
brisk merlin
Lmao
uncut bramble
It has a story mode, and a sandbox
craggy belfry
so that it breaks out and eats all my people
brisk merlin
Huh
meager panther
Or does the water vibrate when dinosaurs walk by
uncut bramble
You can also drive the 4x4 around which is cool
craggy belfry
are the dinosaurs procedural?
lavish obsidian
good quotes
craggy belfry
yeah the 4x4 looks cool
meager panther
Not procedural haha whale... best quotes
uncut bramble
All the quotes
craggy belfry
but... cyberfunk 2077
meager panther
Yeah nice

Can you fight dinosaurs in cyber punk
Does the water vibrate
Is it just a glorified simulator
craggy belfry
does the dinosaurs vibrate?
uncut bramble
Maybe

๐ฉ
craggy belfry
the doom eternal trailer honestly
so well done
no gameplay and it got me so hype
those riffs
meager panther
Whats the estimated release date for star field?
craggy belfry
well the only info they have given us is a tiny reveal
so id say like 1 or 2 years
meager panther
Rip
meager panther
AAA studio needs to make nms'esque game
If 30 people can make nms..imagine what 300+ people can
craggy belfry
look as long as there are more space games entering the market im a happy man
meager panther
Hehe i want a game that combines the best of space engine+nms+ elite+star citizen.. its a long shot..but worth the wait
craggy belfry
id like to make a space game myself once i finish my current game
meager panther
We gotta bring gabe and notch on it
craggy belfry
i hope for something such as that in like ~10 years when vr is much more commercial
meager panther
Yeah
craggy belfry
a full vr online space universe
crazy shit
but for now lets just hope next is great
meager panther
I think when vr becomes mainstream ..most of the first world will become engrossed in it
craggy belfry
yeah id say thats a very fair call
you know kind of similar to drugs
because at that point you really are escaping your life
i wholy think vr will become revolutionary for man kind
it will become an obsession
meager panther
Yeah.. obsession will def become a problem in 10 or so years
hollow river
So are we doing the pcgs?
brisk merlin
Hmm
neat yew
Only a small fraction own it because it is expensive
neat yew
It will go down in price over time
It's not gimmicky, it is a technology that is being refined very quickly
winter yew
I have to disagree
neat yew
It's just a logical step in immersion. You're there. The input methods and control methods will improve, just as early NES games had weird ass control schemes
winter yew
It is being refined quickly but at this point in time it is very gimmicky and will be for another 5 years
mark my words
neat yew
Yeah man, totally a gimick to play euro truck sim and actually feel like you're sitting in the truck. Or driving a car in a race sim, etc.
Or flying a ship in elite
winter yew
I'll call it immersion when my eyes don't hurt after 15 of playing it
uncut bramble
lmfao VR is definitely not a gimmick! ๐ The stats are there and the reviews are glowing
neat yew
Like I said, it will improve. My eyes don't hurt after 15 minutes
winter yew
Eh
uncut bramble
My eyes don't hurt at all ๐
winter yew
My eyes did
neat yew
"3d graphics are a gimick"
brisk merlin
3d graphics arent real ๐ค
uncut bramble
Maybe you're more sensitive to it and it's not for you. In the same way some people don't like the feeling of rollercoasters or other funfair rides. It won't be for everyone.
But just because you didn't have a good experience, doesn't make it a gimmick
neat yew
lol, videogames aren't for everyone
uncut bramble
Exactly, but nobody calls them gimmicks, just because they aren't interested ๐
That's absurd
bronze wind
Whenever something new comes out ppl like to jump to the gimmick complaint right away. I would like VR but I don't think it's cheap enough or powerful enough yet, although I don't believe it's a gimmick either.
neat yew
Exactly
uncut bramble
Which is a much more valid argument
I can get behind the price thing for sure. The experiences I've had though have been exceptional.
winter yew
okay guys, we all have different opinions
uncut bramble
Opinions, yes! Exactly that
neat yew
I've tried three different vr headsets at friends houses, the first time I tried it I knew it wasn't just a gimmick but a next step. But it's still too expensive for me.
"Okay you guys all disagree with me stop"
uncut bramble
There's a difference to saying "VR is a gimmick" and what Zoid said. Opinion vs stating thigns as facts ๐
winter yew
Yes it's cool
bronze wind
I'd like to experience it at least once or twice to see if it's worth the price for me in it's current state. But there also aren't enough games that interest me to justify it atm
winter yew
But I still believe it's just a fad
bronze wind
Eh
neat yew
uhh lol
uncut bramble
@bronze wind Come over and play Diner Duo with me
bronze wind
I don't think it'll pass
bronze wind
Ok @uncut bramble let's dewit
uncut bramble
๐
Also companies don't invest millions of pounds into VR
Billions even
Every company who is worth their tech has some kind of VR investment right now.
bronze wind
And yeah I don't really see VR fizzling out especially because consoles and PCs are only increasing in power. That means better more fluid VR, meaning bigger games that don't just resemble tech demos
neat yew
People called the Wii a gimmick, it sold 100 million units. VR contollers right now are an evolution of the wii controller
uncut bramble
Even Skyrim though which is MASSIVE is still a super immersive experience in it's current form
bronze wind
Yeah the only thing that throws me off with Skyrim VR is the walking thing lol.
uncut bramble
Haha it's a bit disorientating, but you get used to it for sure.
The thing is, we never know what the landscape will look like in 10 years time. I remember people having smart phones, then cameras on phones. THIS IS A GIMMICK says I! Who needs a camera on their phone?!?
Flash forward 10/15 years, and now you're an alien if you don't have a smartphone with a camera
bronze wind
And there are new solutions being developed, like the infinite treadmill type things. Although those will be ridiculously expensive so eh
uncut bramble
Exactly, right? But then again using the phone example. They were HUNDREDS of pounds and now you can pick them up for ยฃ30 for a basic model
Not a great comparison of scale
But a comparison of tech nonetheless
bronze wind
Yeah I feel you
Eventually it'll just be a plastic mat with sensors and you wear special felt pads to slide around lol
bronze wind
Exactly
uncut bramble
Joking aside though. I took my nan to disneyland via VR. She always wanted to go again, but hadn't since my grandad died. She got emotional from all the memories and was able to say things like "walk around that corner and I'll show you the place where..."
Even for things like that, beyond gaming - what I would call experiences, it's worth it's weight in gold
bronze wind
Yeah I was going to mention that as well. Hypothetically, even if it doesn't advance in gaming, there are so many other applications for it. Medical, social, entertainment, etc.
The concept won't go anywhere, although it's applications might vary in success
Eventually Facebook will have Oculus chat rooms with your friends haha
uncut bramble
Yeah exactly. Really all that can improve is the graphical fidelity and the user input. Everything else is pretty much grounded
Haha yeah, the stuff Facebook has demo'd already has been insane
Being able to virtually hang out with your family all across the world, take photos, hand those photos to them
Make a phone call, Facetime someone else into the call
It's insane
bronze wind
Yeah being in the tech field I love seeing things advance. Even if stuff fails that's an advancement on its own
uncut bramble
If anyone hasn't seen it, this is the video they showcased in 2016. Imagine how much that's possibly advanced in 2 years too
And this is a funny one too because it's like... Augmented Reality meets Virtual Reality lol
bronze wind
Yeah it's just the natural progression of FB imo haha. Why see your friends for real when you can go online to see your friends for real?
uncut bramble
Exactly! And that's scary as hell ๐
uncut bramble
It's bad enough right now trying to get kids to play on the street
All of this doesn't help
but creates great social skills
bronze wind
It's scary but also great for those that don't leave close to each other, or those with low mobility
uncut bramble
great social media skills* I should say
Exactly right Zoid!
I worked at sea for 5 years, like my grandad did when he was young. He'd leave for 6 months and maybe be lucky to call my nan like once in that time.
When I was there, I was able to video call my mum every time I got into port!
And now, my colleagues who still work there can video call me from the ship itself for next to nothing. (I could do that but it cost a months wages lol)
So for things like that, technology is like ๐
uncut bramble
Right?! lol
uncut bramble
Mine is anti-productive. I should be working ๐ฉ but I take your point hah
uncut bramble
PMSL.
Ironically, I work from home. And maintain relationships with all my colleagues etc all online. It's crazy.
bronze wind
What do you do for work?
uncut bramble
I work in account management for digital engagements. So (again ironically) live chat solutions, chatbots, that sort of thing
bronze wind
Oh that's very cool haha
uncut bramble
haha it caters to my interests at least
bronze wind
I'm still in college but graduating with my Bs in computer engineering next spring.
uncut bramble
That's so awesome! And not too long to go!
bronze wind
Yeah! My school does co-ops as well so I'll have about 1.5 years of work experience under my belt when I leave
uncut bramble
Ohh that's amazing sometimes that's the hardest thing to get before you head out on your lonesome
bronze wind
For sure. I also have somewhat sever social anxiety so being in programs that force me to expose myself like that can be helpful
uncut bramble
Yeah for sure!! Damn, I just seen you can get Facebook Spaces already on Oculus VR. Why do I have to have PSVR ๐
bronze wind
Haha oh man I'll need to get Oculus, that's something my friend will give right into when he finds out
uncut bramble
haha!! I didn't even know it was that close to reality. Hopefully the beta wraps up soon and they bring it onto PSVR. THat said, Rec Room is a VERY similar idea
But you just have to find and add your friends manually.
What i liked about Spaces is your friend doesn't need to have VR to be able to share some experiences
tawny cove
Is there anything big at e3 today?
bronze wind
There's 3 conferences, Square Enix in 20 mins, Ubisoft 3 hours later, then Sony 5 hours after Ubisoft
Relative to start times
uncut bramble
Square Enix is in 20 minutes? damn!! I'll be around for Ubisoft (though all of Assassins Creed leaked so meh)
I'll miss square enix though, and tomb raider
bronze wind
I'm kinda hoping for a new Deus Ex but that's based on nothing lol
worn wagon
Sad you're going to miss all of Ubisoft, presentations are the only times their games look good
@uncut bramble Yep same
uncut bramble
I'd respectfully disagree with that lol. I love all of Ubisoft's recent games. Origins was a piece of art.
bronze wind
Pretty much every game has downgrades ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
uncut bramble
Every game developer downgrades. And IMO Origins looked better than at E3
bronze wind
Never looks as good as what they show off.
worn wagon
Eh not really, not like Ubisoft at least. There's a reason it's their meme
bronze wind
Yeah because people propogate it.
worn wagon
And yeah true sometimes their games actually get better lol
worn wagon
Yeah if that's the thumbnail then the videos pointless
uncut bramble
?
worn wagon
(I'm agreeing with you lol)
uncut bramble
Lol, point and case. I'm not denying that like most devs, they've downgraded in the past. But as I say above, they haven't recently. SO it's a sweeping statement to make if you haven't played any of their games in the last year heh
worn wagon
Indeed, indeed, let's see what happens with Division 2
uncut bramble
Hopefully they learned from their Division 1 mistakes. which tbf is a bloody brilliant game now
worn wagon
I've heard that
Unfortunately we here in this discord are all too familiar with how games fair when they START with the bad press
bronze wind
I enjoyed the first one but haven't played as much recently.
Yeah
I hope 2 does well and keeps the basic improvements of the first
I'm super excited for Sekiro
cinder junco
Who here thinks Hello Games will be on Xbox inside again
cinder junco
I expected them to show up yesterday
bronze wind
I don't really expect anything to be at E3
cinder junco
If they want sales they need to drop the trailer earlier than usual
Not a day before the update
meager panther
Does anyone think i will show up at the e3 
bronze wind
Y E S
bronze wind
Don't get me wrong I'd love a trailer. I just think it's unrealistic based on their previous strategies.
meager panther
Hg should really get a new pr lol
cinder junco
This time itโs coming on a new console so they might change their strategy
Theyโve already done so
They dropped a teaser
bronze wind
I could see the "new strategy" being another interview or something just before release. Like a week or so.
meager panther
How are the words "next" a teaser?
bronze wind
Maybe a trailer/teaser then
That's what a teaser is. Doesn't have to show gameplay lol
You are teased.
cinder junco
I was very teased ๐
meager panther
If disc are gone for print... they should have had some gameplay to show :D
cinder junco
The update can be added online
meager panther
I was not at all teased
meager panther
Will we have emotes?
bronze wind
For wot?
meager panther
With the player models and stuff
cinder junco
Idk
bronze wind
Oh probably lol
wind rampart
alright people, how's tricks?
meager panther
Like in fornite they have these emotes..something similar
bronze wind
Squeenix in 2 mins
wind rampart
What are we expecting to be announced, any rumours?
bronze wind
Not that I can remember
meager panther
No clue lol
meager panther
I want a new star citizen.. the one that doesnt melt your pc
bronze wind
There isn't even a current start citizen lol
brisk merlin
square enicks
wind rampart
I have not played mankind yet, I should stop buying games and play what I have
bronze wind
ayyy starting
meager panther
Thatsthejoke.jpg
brisk merlin
whos that voice
bronze wind
me
brisk merlin
I recognise it
bronze wind
no clue
wind rampart
Optimus prime?
bronze wind
idk
exotic cosmos
Reminds me of Assassin's Creed
wind rampart
She climbs pretty quick.
bronze wind
Assassin's Tomb
uncut bramble
Tomb Raider already huh?
exotic cosmos
Uncharted Assassin's Tomb
uncut bramble
Maybe I can check it out real quick lol
meager panther
Wow nice tomb raider
brisk merlin
this looks bad
uncut bramble
I legit hope that there IS more tombs with puzzles. There hasn't been any proper tombs in tomb raider for a long time
meager panther
I just want proper stories and stuff hehe
uncut bramble
It definitely looks like more of the same
Jungles, shooting, arrows, explosions
Where are the tombs
meager panther
Hehe
exotic cosmos
Monster Hunter
Yep
Weird crossover but ok
Saw this last night, it looks really good.
bronze wind
This trailer almost made me cry lel
wind rampart
yes, it looks cool.
exotic cosmos
I've got a couple weeks to get through LiS 1 I guess. hehe
wind rampart
so free for PS4 too?
exotic cosmos
Dragon's Quest
gaunt hare
Yeh, 100 percent free
meager panther
Gib new sci fi open world for pc pls xd
gaunt hare
Haha I thought he said butt right
brisk merlin
I dont like that weeb game
gaunt hare
Anime sucks.
exotic cosmos
I like the DQ franchise
brisk merlin
I hate these weeb games
orchid root
DBZ haha
meager panther
Is the lego marvel super heroes 2 worth picking up?
Lol weeb game=japanese studio+ eye candy
bronze wind
I haven't played many lego games recently
gaunt hare
Only thing that looked good to me was mildly interesting tomb raider, but in that way where you already know everything to expect
Like a game I might play on sale one day
After five uncharted and twice as many tomb raiders, that genre and style is so tired to me
exotic cosmos
Might be good, didn't see enough gameplay in that one though
light cairn
huh, actual new game
meager panther
Yeah its some 30+ gb but includes all the universes/realms from the marvel arc and its open world
gaunt hare
Oh no, her plane is going down! I wonder if shell survive
brisk merlin
oh no its the weeb game again
gaunt hare
Oh she did, she's fine
winter yew
meh, i'm just waiting for the Sony Conference :p
gaunt hare
Same
meager panther
When is it?
winter yew
tomorrow 3 AM here
gaunt hare
I hope it's as good as microsoft
wind rampart
But PC later might have NMS?
exotic cosmos
pinned at the top
brisk merlin
I despise weeb game
meager panther
Ok
bronze wind
ayy octopath
light cairn
NMS ain't gonna appear anywhere
meager panther
Weeb hehe
winter yew
You can't know for sure
gaunt hare
Yeh, definitely not.
winter yew
they can show off like how Cyberpunk did
solid kettle
octopus traveler
gaunt hare
God these games look terrible
bronze wind
Nah
light cairn
i mean, i'd love to be proven wrong, but i have literally zero percent faith of it
winter yew
It's weird that they won't reveal updates
meager panther
Dang sailors kidney is not mine..rip
exotic cosmos
JC4 looks good
gaunt hare
Wub wub
meager panther
Scarred hg
gaunt hare
Hello Games is becoming like a cyborg.
Losing limbs and then becoming stronger than before
meager panther
Just cause4 ... hmm
light cairn
big 'nado
bronze wind
Looks interesting. Not sure if I'll get it though
gaunt hare
Kewl
I'm not creative enough for just cause games
I just want to get the objectives done, and objectives are boring in those games
winter yew
dfklmgdfmlg i just can't wait for the big day for NEXT
winter yew
E3 alway's had good taste in music i must say
meager panther
We need a game with cartoonish graphics, open world , like zelda but for pc
exotic cosmos
Thief?
meager panther
solid kettle
watch dogs
exotic cosmos
That's Ubisoft
winter yew
yeah
light cairn
new thing?
gaunt hare
Looks like a mobile game ad
winter yew
God, why do they put Sony so far, this only mean's it's gonna be guud
exotic cosmos
New IP yep
solid kettle
watch dogs but silent film
exotic cosmos
And KH3
wind rampart
same as last night.
exotic cosmos
Do you wanna murder reindeer?
winter yew
I hope for a concert again at Sony's
bronze wind
God do you have any fucking positive opinions lol
gaunt hare
Nah, they aren't doing pre show this year
Ya, I liked the mute
And tomb raider. Also I didn't have anything bad to say about platinum
winter yew
imagine Sony, We'd like to announce........ PS5
bronze wind
You don't have to say eerything else looks really bad though.
But i'll just go to another chat ๐
exotic cosmos
I don't think they'll do a PS5 drop so close on the heels of PS4 Pro.
winter yew
The only reason why i would buy an Xbox One X right now is for the gamepass
wind rampart
They might mention next gen like MS did last night
light cairn
apparently not
brisk merlin
i do not like anime
gaunt hare
I also do not like anime
light cairn
Mickey will beat the shit out of you
brisk merlin
no he wont
gaunt hare
Mickey is a sellout
wind rampart
hope there is more?
brisk merlin
lmao
brisk merlin
dissapointed
light cairn
expected
wind rampart
Okayy
gaunt hare
Oh also I'm going to play the super hero kid
exotic cosmos
Wow!
gaunt hare
game
orchid root
What?
light cairn
really surprised they didn't talk about FF15 though
orchid root
done? ๐
gaunt hare
At least it was better than EA
exotic cosmos
That was really disappointing in terms of number of games.
light cairn
i really don't see why they felt the need to do a showcase for that amount of stuff
gaunt hare
What's the next one?
patent grove
Welp, that was shit
exotic cosmos
Twitch gave them an hour and a half. Their next segment isn't scheduled for another hour yet.
gaunt hare
Ubisoft or Sony?
light cairn
Ubi
gaunt hare
Shweet
bronze wind
Sony is in 7.5 hours
light cairn
ubi is in 2.5 hours, Sony is in, 7.5 hours
meager panther
What about the new marvel game
gaunt hare
Ubi will probably have some cool shit
patent grove
I am going to miss both Ubi and Sony. Gotta love exam season clashes
bronze wind
๐
meager panther
Remember the avengers game by square unix?
gaunt hare
The balls
bronze wind
Don't forget shoutcasted
gaunt hare
to demo a mobilized popular dead franchise
light cairn
only thing that excited me was new Platinum game, but was only vague trailer
gaunt hare
With esport players
primal inlet
At least Microsoft followed Gears Pop with two (theoretically) good Gears games
bronze wind
Yeah that was a funny troll lol
light cairn
They really didn't need to do a live conference for this, like at all
bronze wind
Not really
I enjoyed the stuff they showed
They just didn't really need a conference for it.
light cairn
yeah
bronze wind
I probably liked more of the games than you guys haha
Cause anime doesn't bother me unless it's like boobs falling out
meager panther
gaunt hare
Like Ghibli and akira
bronze wind
I can't take a game seriously if a character is just big boobs with feet
gaunt hare
And Dead Leaves
bronze wind
Octopath looks really good though, I played the demo and it was a lot of fun.
bronze wind
Not sure, hope it's some sort of RPG
meager panther
Lol a lot of games seem to have crashed and burned hard:astroneers,planet nomads to name a few
Maybe now is not the time for space games
bronze wind
I think astroneers has done okay
ocean wind
astroneers is still in development
gaunt hare
I would have bought them if I had a pc
meager panther
I mean its not very popular or anything
gaunt hare
Space is niche for nerds.
bronze wind
I tried to play and it was cool and I liked the visuals but it was way too early in development so there wasn't much going on
And some bugs
But that was like a year or two ago
meager panther
Yeah..astroneer was weird
ocean wind
ya I'm not sure if they ever planned to become huge, it's a tiny niche space game. And the early dev state of the game sort of put it in it's place
meager panther
I am waiting for the day star citizen shuts down... like why is squadron 42 taking so long
