S2E22 - E3 2017 - “Who doesn’t want to be a dinosaur?!”
from Geek to Geek Podcast · host Geek to Geek Media
Talking Points: E3 2017. Not comprehensive. Not VGNN. Only talking about things we think are interesting enough to talk about. You have video game news sites for the rest :) We’re talking about Press Conferences, if more news comes out throughout the rest of the week it won’t be here because we’re recording on Tuesday night! http://e3recap.com/ has been my friend Overall trends Esports being forced onto games that aren’t even out yet “Influencers” being put front and center BJ: torn on the current “influencer” boom. Feels like a bubble that’s totally disingenuous Shorter press conferences with less big game announcements Really hard to tell what is actually exclusive Microsoft “Console Launch Exclusive” Most of these press conferences would have been better pre-recorded as just a series of trailers instead of having a stage show, honestly. Updates on games we already knew existed. This is what we get for so many years of announcing games way ahead of time. It finally caught up to the platform holders. The UPSIDE of this is that most of the games in the conferences will be out within the next 12 months. That has never really been the case before. Skyrim being announced for Switch with motion controls and for VR. Can we just let Skyrim die already? BJ: I think it’s cool to be for the Switch, but I agree. I’d rather a new Elder Scrolls game than yet another rehash of Skyrim. I’m not playing it again. EA Battlefront 2 (Star Wars) All Saga Movie timelines? Prequels, Original, and New trilogies New class system and points for vehicles/heroes Single Player Story Campaign Microsoft Scorpio “Xbox One X” $499 It’s kind of amazing how much I DON’T care about PS4 Pro or Scorpio A bunch of survival games? I’m not super into that genre A bunch of games we already knew about or have seen before Sea of Thieves (first actual exclusive? But it’s on Windows 10 too, so whatever) BJ: it’s an adventure game! #yawn Crackdown 3 Jumping was fun in 1. 2 was a letdown BJ: Terry Crews! <li style="font-weight:
