E3 + Summer Game Fest 2021 - June 10th to July 29th

Abandon all hope of a Dragon's Dogma 2 announcement

 

[vibehunter]

Looking forward to footage from:

- Elden Ring
- Zelda BOTW 2
- KCD 2
- The Touryst 2
- The Evil Within 3
- Hitman: Codename 007
- New/Remade Witcher(s)
- Jedi Fallen Order 2
- Whatever Inxile is working on
- Whatever the Disco Elysium dudes are working on
- Resident Evil 4 remake
- New/Remade KOTORs

Unannounced stuff that could be interesting:
- Neverwinter Nights 3 (focused on toolset creation and seamless multiplayer matchmaking)
- MGS1-3 remakes
- Deus Ex remake
- Warcraft 2 remaster

Little hope left for anything good from the likes of obsidian/piranhabytes/bethesda/bioware/ubisoft.

A Deus Ex remake has a 90% chance of being shit compared to the original. They should just finish the Jensen games.

Weird West, Arkane Austin project, Eidos Montreal project, Marvel XCOM and Elden Ring are the only games I'm excited for. Which is already 400% more than last year's E3.

Marvel Xcom?

 

[Spacer's Nugget]

Marvel Xcom?

The leaked info:

New Firaxis Game: Codename CODA - New turn-based action game using Marvel property. Source described it as "XCOM with Marvel heroes". Seems like some famous actors are voicing the characters.

That was confirmed to be a thing by Jason Schreier, though it might not even show up at E3.

Abandon all hope of a Dragon's Dogma 2 announcement

Maybe secret surprise announcement.

 

[LESS T_T]

Well we all know Capcom's "secrets" thanks (?) to the leak. If the schedules were not changed Dragon's Dogma 2 should be their next big thing. (There's Resident Evil Outrage in between but it's reportedly a bit smaller game.) Of course it's possible that they will spend this year's E3 without announcing any new title, or reserve it for Tokyo Game Show, or simply do a logo reveal teaser.

what about THQ nordic? INEEDELEX2PLEASE

 

[Assisted Living Godzilla]

I'd be surprised if Capcom didn't announce anything, especially with there being no E3 last year, and that leak letting a lot of what they had coming out of the bag already. The leak had Resident Evil Outrage, Street Fighter 6, Dragon's Dogma 2, a new Megaman, a new Onimusha, Resident Evil 4 Remake, and a few other things as coming next year. Now maybe some of that stuff will get pushed back from 2022 to '23, but I wouldn't be surprised if we got looks at some of those things now. They usually don't just show something a year before it comes out.

But that is like 3 months away

Elex 2 was canceled, they're working on a new IP.

Interestingly they're using Deep Silver and Koch Media as different labels recently. Koch Media is used for external partner publishing like King's Bounty 2 and Encased, while Deep Silver is used for internal, big things.

Maybe it's something related to this: https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/...ed-after-starbreeze-signs-50m-publishing-deal

PAYDAY 3 it is.

Summer Game Fest Kickoff:

Tune in now for a wonderful music intermission

Summer Game Fest Kickoff:

The shittiest thing ever. Again.

Not at all what gaming is about.

 

[fork]

Well, posted by Infinitron, so it fits.

 

[Jaedar]

So strapped for content, they started announcing movies, netflix shows, and the existence of new publishers.

 

[Don Peste]

Good thing is all this trash won't be at the other conferences?

 

[Belegarsson]

Koch Media had a montage of both released and unreleased games which was an awful way to announce anything new. The notable thing here is they formed a new publishing label called Prime Matter which is releasing Payday 3 and a new Painkiller title.

https://www.videogameschronicle.com...premium-label-prime-matter-plus-12-new-games/

The new label will be operated out of Koch’s headquarters in Munich and is “a dynamic mix of seasoned industry veterans and enthusiastic fresh faces creating an incredible team of diverse multi-cultured gaming experts,” according to a statement.

As well as its new label, Koch also announced 12 new games, including new IPs.

The new games announced include:

• Payday 3 (coming in 2023)
• King’s Bounty II (a turn-based strategy game coming in August)
• Encased (a ‘classic’ Fallout-style RPG due in September)
• Scars Above (a sci-fi action game due in 2022)
• Project: Echoes of the End (a third-person action-adventure game using Unreal Engine 5)

Echoes of the End (working title) will make use of Unreal Engine 5

• Dolmen (a third-person action RPG due in 2022)
• Final Form (a post-cyberpunk FPS with 3-player co-op)
• The Chant (an action horror coming in 2022)
• Gungrave G.O.R.E. (a third-person action shooter releasing in 2022)
• The Last Oricru (an action RPG coming in 2022)
• Crossfire: Legion (a futuristic RTS due in 2022)
• A new game in the Painkiller series

“Prime Matter is a new home for premium games, offering both current and future partners all the expertise of the Koch Media Group alongside a new and dynamic team dedicated to maximising their true potential,” said Koch Media CEO Klemens Kundratitz in a statement.

“The core of the video games industry is, of course, entertainment. Prime Matter will constantly look to innovate and inspire gamers across all its activities while retaining the fundamental values of what makes our industry so special – it is intrinsically fun.”

We have only just begun to witness the trash.

 

[Spacer's Nugget]

Geoff truly outdid himself.

 

[Hellraiser]

Elden Ring happened.

 

[DeepOcean]

That was the most depressive thing I watched on my life.
