I thought the MS conference was great.  Excellent if you're an XBox gamer.  Though as mentioned above probably won't sell many Xbox consoles.  Certainly didn't convince me to buy one. But the rapid fire game after game show with minimal talking was great.

I thought the Bethesda one was terrible.  It doesn't help that I have no interest in any Bethesda IPs and I hate games full of blood and guts (which is pretty much all that Bethesda do) but even in the context of a conference I hated it.  So much boring filler, AND SPEAKERS THAT WON'T DAMN WELL LEARN THAT YOU NEVER STOP AND WAIT FOR APPLAUSE!!  Pretty much the only thing that I enjoyed was the Skyrim on Alexa skit.  That was all that lifted it over the EA conference in my opinion. 

I have now set my alarm for 2.55am for Squeenix's conference.  Yay.

Which studios did they buy? You're probably a better source than google.

edit: maybe not.

Can confirm.

I didn't know it was in a single announcement. I thought I'd have to look for 5 articles.

Yeah, they announced them back-to-back at the presser.

So far I'm not seeing anything at all I am interested in. Hopefully Nintendo comes through.

Well, it's a Smash Bros year, so you're either interested or you're just there for the Nigel Thornberry memes.

I hope there's a bit on Metroid and Pikmin, or even the Starfox Racer. But who knows?

Having enjoyed playing Doom and Skyrim on Switch, I am now a Bethesda fan. I'll be buying everything of theirs they announced. I'm confident that we'll see versions of Doom Eternal, ES6, and Starfield come to Switch down the road.


The three mobile games from them are a nice plus, and certainly more exciting to me than Pokemon-Cubivore.

Todd Howard said Starfield was a "next generation" game, so I get the impression it's a PS5 and Xbox One 2 game.

Ubisoft's conference was decent, there was a nice mix of really good CG trailers and gameplay. Easily the best produced conference so far.

Haven't watched all the conferences so far, but Ubisoft had some neat stuff for Nintendo fans:
-The Donkey Kong DLC for Mario + Rabbids looks... Weird.
-Star Fox in Starlink pretty much makes this a must-buy for me. Hope it works without being forced into buying figures/micro transactions.
-Just Dance still coming to Wii and Wii U is nice.
-Trials Rising is headed for Switch, sort of a motorcross title.

I was personally hyped for more Beyond Good & Evil 2 footage, and the fact that they showed it so early on signals they're truly serious about producing it this time.


I thought the MS conference was great.  Excellent if you're an XBox gamer.  Though as mentioned above probably won't sell many Xbox consoles.  Certainly didn't convince me to buy one. But the rapid fire game after game show with minimal talking was great.


Yeah Xbox seemed decent, there's a couple of really stylish looking indies headed for their console with Tunic and Sable. Ori & Will 'o Wisps also looks gorgeous, and Session has my mild attention - skateboarding games are often fun. If I had an Xbox I would get most of these, Tunic certainly. NieR Automata would be another selling point.

Great showing from Sony, some pace killer in the beginning, but overall their exclusive deep dives showed really well and they still managed a handful of announcements.

Hahaha. So true. You should have joined us in Discord.

Speaking of, someone there mentioned all these games getting release dates in Jan, Feb and March of 2019 which seems odd to me. Usually after all the holiday spending, people are trying to save money and spend less in the Jan and Feb months. Surprised that so many games are going to be releasing past that holiday window.

Was also going through a list of what the Nintendo Direct will consist of. Came up with this:

So, Smash, Star-Fox Grand Prix, Yoshi, (maybe a reminder of Pokemon Let's Go), Fortnite, Mario Tennis and Captain Toad are expected. Possible showings: Project Octopath, Bayonetta 3, Red Dead Redemption 2, Metroid Prime 4, Fire Emblem, Splatoon DLC, more details of Nintendo's online set-up, Team Sonic Racing, Crash Bandicoot trilogy, Travis Strikes Again. Maybe surprise announcements of: Mario Maker, Mario Party, Pikmin 4, N64 Mini Classic. Probably some kind of quick Nindie showcase and other third party showcase as well.

Anything I'm missing or people expect to see?

Disappointed RE: RE2 is not coming to Switch. Its my favorite classic Resident Evil game. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. Capcom has kinda crappy to the Switch with the RE7 streaming and the delay of Monster Hunter localization. Maybe we'll get it down the road.

Also:

He also says expect a bombshell from Sony, a real bombshell. I don't know what to expect I asked is it PS5 he didn't give me an answer just it will be big.

Inside rumblings all he said is there are people in the industry that are expecting the Switch changed the industry and there is no going back.

With the Sony presser over, should we still be expecting some big Sony bombshell or did it happen and it just wasn't as shocking as expected?

- Tomorrow I'm hoping we get some Atlus action, SMT 5 + whatever else they're working on.
- The Xenoblade 2 dlc needs to look substantial, like an entire side game.
- My number one want for Smash is Professor Layton, I can envision how he would look and I feel like he would be a good fit within the roster.
- Treasure is bringing the band back together for one last tour, the conference ends with Sin & Punishment 3 available this holiday.

Sony's four featured games were all very similar.

Ghosts of Tueshima: Violent Third person cinematic action adventure
Death Stranding: Violent Third person cinematic action adventure
Spiderman: No blood Violent Third person cinematic action adventure
