How can any E3 compete with last year?

Microsoft is going to be typical movie games. Ubisoft won't have anything worthy. The only reason Sony is going to be okay is because they represent any game that is made on the PS4, so that includes Square and other devs. However, Im sketpical cause I feel like everyone is going to be shit, including Nintendo.

By the way, are you a weeb?, i swear, most of the people saying that "videogames have a great future" are weebs. The rest are kids.
>>
The destruction of AA devs, and also the exponentially increased cost of game development, means there are fewer games to look forward to, they take longer to come out, and devs have less opportunity to experiment.

In their heyday, Square was a golden goose, shitting out classics like it had virulent diarrhea. And they weren't the only ones. The sheer breadth of gameplay experiences available decades ago remains unparalleled.

How many TF2 clones are we going to see. MOBAs. CCGs. It seems like every major developer has the same lineup of games, with a different coat of paint. Completely uninteresting.

It kinda does.

The games I'm actually hyped for decreases every year. It's gotten to the point where my last E3 was 2014. I keep up with news, but E3 is a big marketing event where they try to get people hyped for them pre-orders.

Watching just kinda proves that you either had nothing else to do, or you're still trapped in the loop of Hype>Buy>Disappointment>repeat.

This E3 is finally making it sink for me that there is no return to the wonder I used to feel at new games as a kid. An upcoming AAA game used to be something to be excited about because you knew you were going to be treated to a polished experience with high production values and new, innovative features. Now it's all just a rehash of a rehash packed into an ever more designed package where you have less and less control and the depth is constantly getting shallower and shallower.

Remember when people used to tease or even bully you for playing vidya? Now the vidya is being made to cater to those people. This shit has gone full circle, it used to be that they thought that "why is anon wasting time with those childlish games, I don't get it", now it's you thinking "how can those people waste time with those shitty games, I don't get it".
>>
>>340995635
your problem is that you forgot video games are for fun

this is a phase, stop caring about video games so much and maybe one day they will make you happy again
>>
It really was bad this year, EA was literally "We have no games, but look! Niggers!" the press conference. Every year gaming gets more mainstream and makes more money, which in turn leads to a focus on pandering to the lowest common denominator which means shit games marketed to retards and control freak nazis who need all games to be made according to their morals.

It really does get worse every year, the reason people say that is because it's not an overnight change, it's a gradual decline.

On the contrary, It feels less and less like the presentations are meant to appeal to a mass audience, including children, and more like it's just designed to impress investors. That Dishonored presentation would have bored any child, there was nothing to be invested in unless you were some uneducated fat cat who could simply be wowed by the spectacle of watching someone play a video game.

I don't think the whole thing is fucked, but EA and Bethesda... it wasn't a matter of me not liking what they showed. They just hardly showed anything.
Bethesda was like 50% talking about games that were already out. You don't have to be a jaded manchild to find that shit boring.

Not denying thats what its mostly been but you're lying if you cant admit either group has somewhat changed.

The coked up businessmen have gotten better at bullshitting people as the industry grew (probably due to hiring not as shitty ones) and the nervous nerds have gotten older and in some ways become either:

A. More self-righteous/pretentious
B. More cringeworthy
C. Drawn from a more diverse group of demographics

E3 is a fucking joke, do you all seriously get entertained by watching middle aged salesmen introduce ESPN features, comically overdramatic trailers for multiplayer console shooters that last 10+ minutes, hamfisted attempts to introduce stillborn IPs from washed up developers, and montages of games you already knew were coming out?

Tell me, what was the last time an announcement at E3 filled you with uncontrollable glee AND that game delivered, even in the slightest way?

There's no reason to get excited for this shit any longer.

Six years ago people called the 2010 e3 the worse ever

Now you faggots look on it fondly as a good ol' time

OP is right, it's the same shit every year. Very rarely is anything actually surprising because stuff always leaks before, the cringe of the presentations is still the same and the amount of shitposts are the same.

Then it's over and we do it all again the next year.

Learn to appreciate what e3 is and isn't and perhaps you'll have a good time on /v/ during it. It's still fun and it's easily one of best times of year to be on this shit website. At least for me.

Everything's checking out. People don't go to EA/Ubisoft conferences looking for video games. It's actually a bad thing if anything that used to be good shows up there, because it's guaranteed to be trash.

EA/Ubisoft/Bethesda/Microsoft exist at E3 purely to be mocked.
>>
>>340986656
It's true. I haven't bothered watching an E3 in 5 years. But my little brother who is 12 is so hyped right now for tomorrow.

It's a kid thing. And we were kids when E3 1999 was a thing, or when Nintendo revealed twilight princess in 2004. We're not so little anymore. The novelty has worn off. 10 000 years ago all of us at this age would have been married with children and a life time of experience and stories. But the reality is is that you're all NEETs that just bitch and moan that E3 isn't good.

I was there in the early 2000s when people were trashing games from the '90s and ANYTHING rendered in 3D with polygons, claiming only truly good games were made with sprites, period. Back then these people called the PS2 a pile of shit and considered the Super NES to be the last video gaming console with quality content. FPS games of then like Quake and Halo got called garbage as much as Far Cry and Call of Duty do now. People were lamenting the death of the 2D platformer and adventure games, badmouthing the emerging styles of game design for being inferior formats driving "true" video games out. Some actually defended cartridges and blamed optical media for making then-modern game design "sins" possible. PC gaming was blamed for the standardization of incomplete-on-release products requiring patches. FFVI was the last good Final Fantasy. Yoshi's Island was the last good Super Mario game. A Link to the Past was the last good LoZ game.

It never changes. Ever.
>>
>>341005775
To add onto that, game designers have become worse and worse at conveying information. I was hoping the Souls series was just a fluke with those vague and unhelpful stats, but every game coming out is like that. I guess that's what happens when people who don't write technical manuals start making games.
