E3 2019 Megathread - News, Info, Links, Hype & More

I was underwhelmed by the Microsoft conference overall. Lots of flash and 2020 releases.

I guess I was wanting more info on Scarlet and some out of the blue shadow drops.

That is why sony skipped this E3. Most of the Top tier titles for the next generation is kept for E3 2020

Thats why you didnt see any forza or Fable or Perfect dark etc.

I didnt expect the double fine acquisition i was expecting it to be ready at dawn
They revealed technically the same bits of console info that sony did.

4x times the performance of the one X is a massive jump (im still not jumping on the early adopter bandwagon though)

Forgot to mention that i had to stream the IGN xbox conference feed via the youtube app on the xbox because the mixer feed had buffering issues.

One thing I was hoping for was more info on Age of Empires IV. It’s been 2 years since we’ve seen a very brief cutscene revealing the game…

Same here. Doesn’t look like we’re getting more AoE news at this time though, apart from AoE 2:DE. Let’s hope they share something soon.

You know when a simple sentence bowls you over and it takes 10 attempts before it makes sense… and then you realise that it is actually a very simple sentence and you should definitely not admit it to anyone how much you struggled with it? Well… uhm… this is not one of those times…

Ubisoft was a little bit disappointing. While I totally enjoyed the Watchdogs Legion gameplay showcase, and I am looking forward to Ghost Recon, the rest of the presentation was a bit meh. Nothing shown that blew my socks off, and not even a word about Beyond Good And Evil 2?

Here’s the complete Marvel’s Avengers presentation from this morning’s Square Enix conference:

Confirmation at the end that it is slated for release 15 May 2020

Thoughts on yet another subscription service?

  • UPlay+ launches 3 September at €14.99/month.
  • No idea if there’ll be cheaper multi-month options.
  • Free trial of the service on offer (3-30 September) if you register by 15 August.
  • Can be terminated at any time, so could it work to pay for a month for new releases that interest you?

I’m not really sure how the Nintendo Direct show is working. The Live Stream is still going 4 hours later… And I see “Nintendo Direct Day 2” and “Nintendo Direct Day 3” on the program still to come.
