E3 2021 Discussion Thread

FROM MICROSOFT EVENT:

I just saw Starfield is coming exclusive to XBox and PC on 11-11-22. Probably a good time to launch it. Maybe by then everyone will be able to order a console and GPU with no fuss to play it with.

Other things I'm digging from the announced stuff, some known some I'm just seeing for the first time:
Stalker 2 | known but good to see some more peeks


D2: Resurrected | confirmed release date of 9-23-2021 (AND SNEAK PEEK AT REDONE CINEMATICS!!)


A Plague Tale: Requiem | I never played the first one but it reviewed well and this looks cool, might have to play it


Replaced | man, this is oozing atmosphere..didn't see "PC" in the end card here only XBox


Atomic Heart | was already waiting for this still looks interesting


Outer Worlds 2 | liked the first one well enough and quite frankly the most hilarious trailer because it's true..


Ascent | this looks pretty cool..


Besides that nothing really exciting IMO. I guess some people are maybe looking forward to FC6 and Halo: Infinite but they just aren't moving me to anticipating them. Forza Horizon 5 looks cool but I don't really care about racing games much.

Noticeably missing was anything about Avowed by Obsidian, not so surprising to see nothing about Elder Scrolls VI.

What's everyone else excited about so far?

 

SQUARE ENIX:

Guardians of the Galaxy | looks cool, the campy humor thing actually works for this IP, looking forward to it. Reminds me in spirit of Brütal Legend. Unfortunately I don't see "PC" on that ending title card for it. Only consoles. Steam Link


Might have to change my tune on Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin. I haven't played any Final Fantasy game in a while or anything by Team Ninja since failing at Ninja Gaiden Black maybe..looks decent.\


Eh.. maybe Babylon's Fall looked a little interesting (man was the video kind of poorly put together though) but I'm not feeling good about the game-as-a-service aspect and focus on MP, usually SP suffers. But really nothing else in that one was interesting IMO.

The Black Panther part of Avengers looked OK, but I recall that being poorly received and nothing there really made me want to play it. Is it worth playing single-player? Guardians of the Galaxy looks more like what I'm looking for from these type of games.

PC GAMING SHOW:

My Notables:
The previously announced Pioner (pronounced Pioneer), very STALKEResque looking game looks COOL. Here's trailer from May in english, was in Russian in the E3 trailer.


Wow, Wartales looks pretty cool. Maybe tactical turn-based combat RPG with a pretty cool looking overland map.


That Ixion trailer was awesome. Can't tell exactly what it is based on the trailer but it ended terrifyingly.
Apparently it's a strategy game: https://www.kasedogames.com/ixion


Death Trash, we've already seen videos of it before, but still looks amazing.


Tinykin looks cute and fun, looks like sort of a 3D version of the old Lemmings game where the little dudes have different powers to solve puzzles.


Songs of Conquest looks like a cool take on Endless Legend type game with pixely graphics


Other maybe interesting things:
Didn't even know Vampire the Masquerade: Swansong was a thing, looks somewhat interesting.. more so than Bloodlines 2.

Humankind looks like an interesting Civ take. Might try that.

 

I'm looking forward to elder scrolls in a big way but expected little now with it still years out.

 

Yeah, I was expecting them to say nothing about it.

 

I would not have complained about a teaser but if I'm running a gaming company I would have learned a few lessons from the Cyberpunk debacle.

 

LOL yeah, it seemed starting with Skyrim Bethesda tends to not announce or say much until it's close to release. I was actually pretty surprised that we're seeing something Starfield with a date this far out, but I think MS might have pushed the issue there just to get SOMETHING out. Still no gameplay which I did expect with the date being that far out. I think they've played it pretty smart there to hold off on that until the build is much closer to release.

 

Noice, we're getting The Outer Worlds sequel! Loved that one. Trailer did not disappoint.
From the so far announced also looking forward to A Plague Tale sequel.

 

I think the PC Gamer show was the most interesting of the lot..

 

The Stalker video whetted my appetite; I liked the first.

 

Same here. I was very happy when I saw this topic as I hadn't heard anything about this before. I was then equally sad when I saw planned release in 2022.

I enjoyed the first one very much. It was quite revolutionary, there were no other similarly open world-ish games back then. Man I hated those bloodsuckers.

Good hunting, Stalker!

 

Cheeki Breeki! You should check out the Pioner trailer as well then in the 2nd post.

Wow whatever you do don't use Tapatalk to edit a post with videos, it totally reordered them.. what a pain.

 

Atomic Heart is another I've been waiting for, but it has been announced so long ago I just rolling with "when it's done I'll look at it, otherwise I can forget about it for the time being."

Didn't know Obsidian was making their own TES
If only they could do another Fallout game...

 

surprised no ones mentioned forza horizon 5?

graphics and gameplay

nice little breakdown with some footage

ok dang just watched it again.....some of it looks photorealistic this time its so real it looks like a 3d picture

The Forza Horizon 5 release date has been confirmed for November 9, 2021

 

kinda looks like a cell phone game...2005 graphics but looks fun

 

It's there in OP.

 

yeah it was just said?
this video helps everyone out eh

my bad i thought some of you would be interested

 

It's all good, you're a solid citizen contributing to the ongoing discussion, all is as it should be. I've been considering a driving game since I switched over to VR in flight sims, it's on my radar.

 

lol, made me click to see the video... for a second I thought you were serious )

Looks very cool, can't wait for this one!

 

lol yeah nice looking eh? next gen is exciting

 

brings me back to grade 10 when i got 100 percent on a math test the rest of the class failed and all i did was fool around lol...bah people got angry i have been hated all my life

 

I was just my own thoughts about it, I asked for people to bring theirs.. Why are you always personally attacking people?

 

nvm not going to argue semantics i re edited the post sorry for the mistyped phrase wasnt attacking you

but back on topic

halo infinite is looking good will post the video in a second

 

The change in scenery is nice, but I kinda expected them to include motorbikes.
I play FH4 almost daily since buying it and I love that game, one of my top racing games. I got a standard edition and even in it there is so much to do. Might grab FH5 later on, but it's not a priority game for me personally.

 

i havent beat fh4 but im a fair click into the game just downloaded it a couple days ago and will give it another spin..i beat forza 7 completely and that took forever but was kinda boring tbh....fh on the other hand i dont have the drive to beat it but its alot funner....cant wait to try out fh5

 

There's also new Test Drive game in development. Wonder if there will be something about it presented during E3.

 

Man cant wait for the new Stalker game, played the previous ones like crazy multiple times, stalker has the best atmosphere ever. Hope the new one has the same one. From the trailer it looks like it

 

I didn't think Cyberpunk could go wrong; mistake on my part, that. I'm already in as liking the first round and the trailer most def piqued my interest. Fingers crossed!

 

ORLY... Man I used to love me some Test Drive back in the Amiga days...

 

I really liked TDU and TDU2, looking forward to this one as well.

 

I hate to say it but the game I'm looking forward to most, that is coming out soon, is D2.

 

The only E3 showcase what matters.

 

I played Death Trash demo last night for a bit, really enjoyed it. Steam has a TON of demos available to try out till June 22. There's enough stuff there to keep busy for days.. hah

 

This looks pretty cool. Just need friends to play it in coop...

 

That does look cool, I almost want an animated series based on the intro more than the game lol.

Also reminds me of:

 

Also, here's an E3 recap site where every trailer is in one place.

https://2021.e3recap.com/

 

IKR. Probably would even be better as a aseries than a game.
Netfilix, c'mon, you can do it.

 

I know this might sound dumb or redundant but has anyone heard anything about grand theft auto 6.....its been like 7 years and I haven't even seen a screenshot of it

 

Nothing but rumors and "leakers" fighting for clicks with info that is impossible to confirm. It's their bread and butter franchise so it stands to reason they will announce it someday lol. I still have never installed 5 and played maybe 10-15 hours of 4. Just checked Steam for 4, it says 0.1 hrs.. I know I played it more than that, I at least got to the apartment and did a few small missions from there.

 

bah about gta 6

but honestly the best looking game thats coming out is easily forza horizon 5 and its actually one of the best racing series to ever be made this side of turismo...im really looking forwards to november

 

if this doesnt excite racers I dont know what will

 

Rockstar are really good at keeping leaks at bay, think we will get some news only when they want.
