E3 2017: The Thread

[codynw]

Yea, I think I am going to get Battlefront day one. That looks amazing.

[Inferno]

I didn't like how they devoted half the conference to Battlefront 2. But I'm not a Star Wars fan or a multiplayer fan so that would be why.

[codynw]

I would have been pumped for that BioWare game if this was 5 years ago, but they've screwed up too many times.

[OutOfTheCube]

Yeah, EA with a pretty boring conference. At least I didn't watch live so I was able to skip all the FIFA parts. Was really hoping to see the new Star Wars game they've been hyping for years. Apparently it's still pretty far off (or cancelled).

Battlefront II looks good, and A Way Out looks like it could be interesting. Otherwise that was not super exciting.

Do you happen to remember the CA cost for Chrono Trigger? That was the most I ever spent on a console game back in 95. $84.99 in the US.

I didn't buy that game back in the day so I'm not sure. Since FFVI and SMRPG were both over $100 it's safe to assume Chrono Trigger was as well.

A new Kingdom Hearts 3 trailer dropped last night.

[OutOfTheCube]

Now Pokken Tournament DX is posted for $99.99 as well. Nintendo can't be serious with those prices -- our dollar isn't that bad. And all the big PS4/XB1 games are still showing $79.99, so clearly this isn't an "everybody in the industry" deal. I really like my Switch but Nintendo is going to kill themselves in Canada if they're really going to do $100 games.

[codynw]

$60 US is just over $80 Canadian. That game is $59.99 on Amazon in the US, so that $100 price tag is just Nintendo being dicks.

Microsoft conference starts soon. In 4K if you're into that sort of thing.

Away we go!

[chemgear]

No Scorpio. Xbox One X.

Calling it now. Next version in 2018 . . . Xbox One XL.

[codynw]

Forza 7... Yawn

Hope they actually have some cool new games to show off on this new system.

[LIP MAN]

Expected, but they own racing so they're going to show it.

[chemgear]

That car looks pretty good in 4K. Almost like it's really on stage or something.

[codynw]

I wish they had shown the price of the new Xbox, that's what I want to see more than anything.

Rumoured to be $499US

[chemgear]

Huh, with the November release date the Scorpio won't release in time for Destiny 2.

[codynw]

Is this a new Metro game? Kinda looks like it.

Those were my thoughts too.

[codynw]

Yep, Metro: Exodus. That looks sick. Will play.
