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?

Game trailers for most of those that I’ve found over in the E3 Game Trailers thread.

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.

If I didn’t want a switch before, I’m wanting one now…

The Nintendo Direct had everything one could reasonably hope for. Solid lineup of games, Bowser joke, and BotW 2 announcement.
