I may be in the minority on this but I'm much more interested in the next Dragon Age than I am Anthem.

Not me. I think, based on what we have seen and heard thus far, Anthem looks great. It all depends on if they fall into the same pitfalls that the Division & Destiny did--not enough content. It will also depend heavily on its end-game. Division and Destiny spend so much time on the story--which is largely irrelevant--and totally neglect the most important aspect of games like these, the end-game.

Destiny never learned that and made it worse with D2. Hoping the Division 2 does learn and then Anthem will have serious competition next year. Which is a good thing.

With Anthem not coming till March I am little worried its E3 showing will be rather small.

I wouldn't be surprised to see it delayed beyond March, I just don't have much faith in Bioware these days, especially when it comes to doing something they've never done before.

It's EA. It will come in March.

Well it was already delayed once and they know after the disaster that was ME:A that Bioware is under the microscope.

Exactly, it was delayed once already. Won't be happening again.

And why would this Bioware team be under the microscope? This is the team that made the Mass Effects people loved. What will be under the microscope is EA and there love of loot boxes and MTs in general.

I just hope Bioware as a whole get away from the awful fetch quests they seem to love.

Most people can't differentiate between Bioware teams like us ( forum readers and the like) and only see the Bioware name on the game. As such the last 2 games under the Bioware moniker, regardless of team were critical stinkers (maybe commercial as well but only EA knows). So I understand why Bioware is under the microscope. Its not a stretch to say they need a well received and financially viable hit.

You should just get it over with and get a PS4. When it comes to you and Xbox it's like y'all in an abusive relationship. :laugh:

I am getting one. I am just waiting for Days Gone. Then I will get Horizon, GT:Sport, Bloodbourne, Detroit, Last-Guardian, God of War 4.
 
One week to E3. Hype level about a 3 or 4. It'll probably rise as we get closer.
 
This is great...they asked a tarot card reader to predict E3. MS is discussed first:

 
Here's some info about Anthem's E3 showing:

FIVE THINGS COMING TO EA PLAY FOR ANTHEM
Dive deep with a new trailer and never-before-seen gameplay.

Mark your calendar. On June 9, 2018 at 11 a.m. PDT, EA PLAY returns with a detailed look at the gameplay of BioWare’s™ upcoming Action-RPG, Anthem™. Here are five things we can share ahead of the stream.

1. A New Trailer

That’s right, we’re delivering an unseen trailer that delves into the dangerous world of Anthem. You’ll get a glimpse into the story, characters, and monsters that bring the game to life.

2. More Gameplay

Last year we showed off some of the core gameplay that you can expect from Anthem – flying, fighting, and of course, collecting loot. And this year we’re happy to show off some more. Tune in to see it all.

3. Combat Showcase

One thing we’ll be showing in-depth this time around is combat. The power of the Javelin exosuit will be on full display as players take on the most ferocious enemies seen yet.

4. Developer Insights

The dev team at BioWare has been hard at work, and now they’re ready to show it off in-person. Hear some of the guiding principles that have shaped the development of Anthem as BioWare General Manager Casey Hudson, Executive Producer Mark Darrah, and Lead Writer Cathleen Rootsaert take the stage.

5. A Look Behind The Curtain

Along with hearing from the developers themselves, we’ll be showing off some of the concept and production art of Anthem. You’ll get a chance to see the craftsmanship that has built this incredible world from the ground up.

Be sure to tune in right at 11 a.m. PDT so you won’t miss a minute of this momentous live event.

This was supposed to be my GOTY this year. I hope they deliver for next year.
 
Do we have any Hitman fans here? Looks like Hitman 2 might show up at E3, and for a single player game it ain't too shabby.

I am very interested in what they do with that property. The Batman games were some of the best looking games around as well. Now we gonna get some X footage at the MS show? Count me in, baby!
 
I didn't know E3 is a compeitition.

Jokes aside, I think Sony & Nintendo can chill a little & MS need to absolutely produce excitement, & Spencer (this guy still around?) need to throw his kitchen sink & mother-in-law if needed.

It isn't...not really. For the companies it is a marketing strategy primarily meant for traders. It is fanboys who turned it into a competition, much like the whole console war, it doesn't exist outside forums and is generally fueled by the fanboys....although, nowadays it seems to be fueled by the gaming media.

By the way, I have been away for a while. Is the self proclaimed MS developer Flint (if I remembered corectly) is still around?

Haven't seen his posts since I returned about 2 weeks ago.

Yeah he pops up every once in awhile. I'm sure we will see him in a few days so he can tell us how bad Sony's conference was.
