E3 2015 in a nutshell: Hurry up Hoth, and plenty to Unravel The E3 2015 press conferences have been and gone, leaving us to consider what to make of the gameplay and teaser footage shown-off by Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, EA, Ubisoft, Bethesda and Square Enix. Which devs had us out of our seats and which were faced with an awkward silence? Fallout 4 One man and his dog: Fallout 4 due …
Oh be fair. MS did more than Minecraft with Hololens. They also did this.
The only reason i had not to buy a PS4 was taken from me at E3. Those bastards at sony finally gave it a media player. Damn them. I was quite happy with my ps3, smugly watching films and playing the occasional game. Now they are going to force me to upgrade, and then im going to have buy fallout 4, batman and battlefront. Scumbags....
"Knights, Vikings and Samurai are all playable is a mash-up that looks almost as intriguing as Ubisoft’s Jason VandenBerghe"
This makes as much sense as:..

My intention was to write a gibberish generator but it looks like I accidentally wrote an El Reg article generator instead (it just strings word triplets together, based upon a simple scoring system; the first triplet is used in its entirety, which is why its key is displayed three times).
If the 'i' and 's' key were adjacent I might have indeed assumed so, and then just further assumed that Ubisoft’s Jason VandenBerghe is clearly and widely known to be intriguing. Those keys aren't though, and I'd not previously heard anything to suggest that Jason VandenBerghe was notoriously intriguing either.
..if it's mostly complete in its current form, it's going to suck.
It's pretty, but it looks closer to Quake than Doom, there's too much stupid spawning of monsters and it's not sufficiently dark and menacing. It's like a slightly more grungy version of Quake 3..
The people who still want to play DOOM are already playing DOOM. The original is still being supported with hi-res texture packs, top notch map packs and mods by the community.
The 'modern' era graphic DOOM games can't hold a candle to them, especially when they discard the original virtue of throwing you straight into the action for various cutscenes with various people you don't care about gurning at the camera, trying to lay down story rationales more complicated than 'Kill all the baddies.'
I must be in the minority of 1 that thought the Nintendo Direct was quite fun/mental, more than the other conferences I saw. I can't see what the NX will bring (assuming it's a home console) unless they look to match or exceed the power of PS4/Xbone because otherwise Nintendo will still be reliant on first/second party titles. The only other hope is to have a less gimmicky control interface but again this will need a higher powered/traditional console.
I don't think they'll do any of the above.
Also Deus Ex needs to get here now as well as Cyberpunk 2077.
A little bit of sex wee came out at the end of the SW:Battlefront trailer but then I remembered it is mainly online multiplayer, which I'm not particularly into.
leaving a card-battling Elder Scrolls game and Fallout Shelter for mobiles as the truly new titles
So tired rehashes of existing series count as "truly new" now, eh?
Thank goodness for the independent studios. At least they're willing to sponsor a little creativity.
And, I have to say, I watched the Unravel presentation on Youtube, and I'd rather see a hundred Sahlins, honest and sincere and enthusiastic about their work, than sit through one professional presenter trying to convince me his company's flavor of the week is life-changing.
