E3 2018 - Ushi's 6th Annual Information & Discussion Thread

[Lon Lon]

Aw that was really short. DQXI looks good, might hop on that one for once since I could go for a turn based game. Not too into MH but if I can get me a palico minion in FFXIV I'm all on board.

[Shan O 123]

So they’re showing Nintendo tomorrow correct? Anyone know what time for EST or am I supposed to follow after New York time?

[Lon Lon]

It's at 12 PM and yes New York is EST.

[Kikki]

Btw, to avoid any possible mix-ups...it's EDT right now (Eastern Daylight Time.) EST ended in March. (Eastern Standard Time.) So if you're in Ontario, New York, Florida, etc...Nintendo's presentation starts at noon. If you're in BC or Cali it starts at 9 AM.

I was oddly getting more Dark Souls vibes from the Fall of Babylon trailer, but the premise looks cool.

It's not possible for me to get a Dark Souls vibe from anything because I know nothing about Dark Souls, lol, so perhaps it is like that game. The only bit that reminded me of Xenoblade was the 'awakening' part when those two huge-looking things were fighting with swords. Also, I remembered the name wrong. It's not Fall of Babylon, it's Babylon's Fall. Oops.

EDIT: I've got the Limited Run Twitch loaded in one tab but I have a feeling I'm going to miss it. I really think I'm going to fall asleep and not end up waking in time. Well, I don't think they'll have anything for me, but I was curious about the "several games you don't know are coming in any capacity!" that they're announcing. I need to be awake for the PC Gaming Show, though, darn it...I wanna see Ooblets, and if they show Re: Legend (though that's not likely) and I don't see it I'll be annoyed with myself.

Makes perfect sense, I'm just being a pain. I think it's as much the movement as anything that felt Dark Souls, but it would make just as much sense to remind someone of Zelda and either Darknuts or Iron Knuckles. Especially since it was about 3 seconds of anything other than line drawings.

Square Enix's was short but to the point. I'm not gonna lie, I may have made some noise when I saw that Dragon Quest XI trailer. It was interesting hearing the voices they'll be doing for the characters since the JP version doesn't have voice acting at all. Still not 100% sold on Erik's (Camus') voice though, I might need to hear it within the context of the game. I really just need to know what they've changed Sylvia's name to or if they kept it. And I totally missed the Fall of Babylon trailer because I was too busy pulling up the Square Enix store, so I need to go back and look at that. I was a bit disappointed that we didn't see Big Hero 6 in the Squeenix trailer, but we still have Sony tonight.

And no clue what to expect from Limited Run. Maybe they'll pull a Devolver Digital...

[Kikki]

Bandai Namco has announced their line-up. Not sure if anyone cares, but there it is if you do

[RopeMaidenKirie]

A lot of us here in the US use 'EST/PST' as a general term since everything is changed automatically and any time calculators you look up already account for it Isn't technically correct, but yeah. Most people I know do this.

Also Shan, if you get confused, there is a giant time table in the first post.

@Miko - I totally agree actually, it looks very Dark Souls-ish to me as well. Kind of interesting since Platinum games usually go for the very fast and fluid type of gameplay, so I guess we'll have to see how it ends up!

[Night Owl]

Ah, excellent line up from Bamco. My Hero Academia: One's Justice (I know it's not the real title, but the one they have is just awkward), Code Vein, Jump Force... That Jump Force trailer from last night was amazing. The Hero Aca game has a good chance of popping in on the Nintendo Direct I think. And maybe Code Vein will get some time in a montage for Sony. But I have a really strong feeling that Sony will shine a spotlight on Spyro tonight for a bit. He was a Sony mascot back in the day after all...

Really, I just want NISA to announce what they have so we can get it over with. Still hoping it's not Cold Steel 3.

[Blue Rose]

Babylons Fall looks interesting~

Limited Run conference - https://www.twitch.tv/LimitedRunGames

[Bluie]

I'm mildly salty about having to wait on the Switch version of DQXI, but daaaaamn, that was a nice trailer. VA sounds great as always.

I was just confused because Shan asked 'what time for EST' OR if she had to follow NY...but they're the same thing. So I thought some wires were crossed, and maybe that mix-up came from the fact that some of the schedules I've seen for E3 list the times in EDT, which might make it sound like it's a different time zone even though EDT and EST are the same time zone, except that EDT is Summer time and EST is winter time, more or less. So I thought I'd mention it. Almost no one here ever says EDT, either.

I'm finding the Limited Run presentation a bit awkward to watch, though it looks like they're making some stuff of interest to a decent number of people Though at this point I'm not sure which announcements they mean to be the ones that we don't know of in any capacity...maybe that's still upcoming?

[Bluie]

Limited Run is like a mix of cringe and actual hype. Lots of good games they're getting out there.

I'm personally very pleased with Cosmic Star Heroine not only getting confirmed for Switch, but also getting a physical. It's one of those games i've really wanted to play for awhile now.

[Lon Lon]

Limited Run Games conference was super campy, guess it goes with the 80s theme lol. Interested in Fata Morgana on Vita and possibly Iconoclasts.
