It's almost time for our favorite thing of the year :P
Thought I'd prep the post on time this year.

Not much info out yet this year though. Unlike last year, trailers aren't leaking left and right as much.

There's some stuff here and there though.

- Ubisoft's been teasing Watchdogs 2
- Bethesda has a stage again
- Rumors of Prey 2 making it out of development limbo
- Yooka Laylee :D


Can't actually post much more...
There's a page for the E3 schedule, but it's still empty lol...

Hadn't heard about Yooka Laylee before, but it looks just like some of the games released for consoles in the late 90's (except better graphics, of course). And that is meant in the best way possible - it looks lovely! :sohappy:

Too bad I don't own a Playstation. Do you know if it's console exclusive?


Oh, just noticed the developers are Team17. Love those guys <3

The Devs are playtonic. Team17 is the publisher.
Playtonic consists out of several former key personnel from Rare during the Nintendo 64 era.

Yooka-Laylee is the spiritual successor to Banjo Kazooie :sohappy:

It was a kickstart funded project. It's made in the unity engine and is set to release for Microsoft Windows, OS X, Linux, PlayStation 4, Wii U, Xbox One in Q1 2017

Haven't watched Bethesda's show since it was overnight but apparently this is coming, which is cool :D



Oh yeah for the record, if you own skyrim legendary (or regular Skyrim + all addons), you get special edition for free.

Here's the actual conference:

Watched both the EA and Bethesda showcases. Have to say BF1 and Dishonored 2 look really good but nothing else really caught my interest. And no TES 6 :(

I don't think TESVI was a reasonable expectation :P. Fallout 4 hasn't even been around for a year yet and they're still making stuff for it. Bethesda has long development cycles. It's probably safe to say we won't hear about TESVI before 2018.

I just saw the prey trailer. Kinda dissapointed :(
Seems they're rebooting the franchise rather trying to make that awesome bounty hunter / space cowboy sci-fi game they showed a few years back.

Not saying it can't be good, but I really had my hopes up for it. This seems like something we've seen before. Kinda dead-spacey

BF1 looks cool though. I think I'd like to buy it. I think that would be the first pure FPS game I've ever spent money on... Would be a nice game to test the capabilities of my new PC :) Hope it'll be well-optimized around launch.

Hmm Turns out Todd Howard actually confirmed TES6 is being worked on. But also says it's a really long ways off :P. There's a lot of rumors going around It'll be Valenwood up next, though I don't know yet what the rumor is based on.

Ah, nice. As I said, never heard of the game before. So thanks for the info.
Awesome to see that it'll be arriving for Windows too. That way, I can actually get to play it :sohappy:

Things that were great:

GoW4
DoW3
Scalebound

Was happy to see more FF15 even though that beta pack is pretty cringe worthy.

Dishonored 2 ? Cool I guess, not particularly hyped.

Battlefield 1: Cool graphics as always but I actually feel pretty meh about it.

Titanfall 2: Not too bad, I liked the first one so ...

Watch Dogs 2 ? HAHAHAHAHA, like I'll trust Ubisoft's downgrade crew.

Recore: The little we know has my interest.

Finally: Days Gone; awesome trailer !
