E3 2018

[Random Guy Esq.]

So it's probably a bit early to start this thread, with the event not starting until the 12th of June (E3 Official site). But show announcements are being made, and rumours are starting to leak, so screw it! Let's get it started.

The big news so far is a leak by Walmart Canada, who apparently accidentally revealed some unannounced E3 titles, including new installments of Splinter Cell, Just Cause, a (surprising) sequel to Rage, and a (not so surprising) Borderlands 3! Source. Take with a pinch of salt, just in case.

Square Enix have a presence at the show again, for the first time since 2014, although it's expected to be more in line with the Nintendo presentations rather than a big live event.

Of course, we don't get many PC exclusives these days, and even less are announced at big events like this. But with a new rig on the way, I'm getting excited all the same. Elder Scrolls VI, please! Anything you're hoping for?

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

Oh ****, yeah. Completely forgot CDPR will be there. That's still a ways off though. 2019 at the earliest?

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

What lineup? It's a handful of games accidentally posted by an etailer on their site.

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

What else can Bethesda be working on now Fallout is done? I expect a reveal of Elder Scrolls VI but not a release until late 2019 then delayed to early 2020. And then they’ll release a prettier version later in the year to conincide with PS5 and Xbox Next launches.

Isn't there that rumoured Starfield game? A few outlets seem to be suggesting that's real, even if there's nothing official yet.

Still, it's been seven years since Skyrim. Seven!! Feels like less because of the constant milking of it, but we're really overdue a new Elder Scrolls. Hopefully, any announcement will follow the same timeline as Fallout 3, i.e. revealed and released in the same year.

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

Don't think we'll get any new Deus Ex for a while, although a remaster of the original would be awesome. I reckon Eidos Montreal will be putting all their efforts into The Avengers title they're working on, along with the new Tomb Raider.

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

Yeah, no HL3 game can ever live up to the hype. However, if they rebooted the whole thing....

Was Gaben not quoted recently as saying they're getting back in the development game?

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

The main thing is you're not upset at all by it.

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

We were in limbo a few years ago, definitely. But surely only fools retain any hope for it now - it's dead. Accept it.

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

Details of the next Assassins Creed game have allegedly been leaked ahead of E3 (source - Kotaku). Assassins Creed: Odyssey will be set in ancient Greece. Allegedly!

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

That would be 'kin ace. Can't see it, but we can dream.

Confirmed.

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

Somebody claiming the next Elder Scrolls will be announced at E3, as well as more alleged info re: FO76.

Salt. Buckets. Etc.

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

I hate remasters/HD editions etc... But yeah, a reworked Morrowind? I'm down for that.

Bit skeptical about the list in general. We already know the Assassin's Creed game is called Odyssey, and some of the other names are as generic as ****. But then, I suppose that adds credibility to the list rather than take away from it.

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

I suppose Dominance might be a DLC for AC:Origins rather than the next game, perhaps a DLC which connects Origins to Odyssey

Yeah, that's a fair shout.

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

Another thing - no mention of Fallout 76 on that list. Makes me more dubious about the list's authenticity.

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

The list is supposedly press conferences only, hence the absence of CD Projekt Red.

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

I haven't seen any confirmations, but I wouldn't be surprised if MS show some AoE IV.

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

I wanted the list to be real as well, but "improved quarterback arm animation" being highlighted as a feature for Madden 2019 should tell you everything you need to know about its authenticity.

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

Rather irrelevant in the PC Games forum.

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

Can you blame him? The console forum and console gaming in general are kind of dying...

Actually, I didn't mean to sound like such a dick - there was supposed to be a smilie in my post.
