We are coming up on E3 once again, a time of new game goodness, so figured we could talk about what we are excited to see shown off, possible wishlist items we'd like to have revealed, just whatever we'd like to talk about.
This is going to be a slightly odd E3 this year, as one of the big companies, Sony's, won't have their big showcase, being that they are readying for the PS5, but there is still a lot to look forward to. I'll post up the known conferences right now and maybe some stuff I'm looking forward too...
https://www.ign.com/wikis/e3/E3_2019_Schedule:_Live_Streams_and_Press_ConferencesMicrosoft - With no Sony, Microsoft is probably the biggest one to look at this year. Not really for their 1st part offerings (Other than maybe Halo Infinite, I have not been an Xbox fan this gen at all), but like last year, they were doing great with showing off multi-platform games coming up, so like we could see whatever the new game Capcom has planned, stuff like that. It's weird being excited for a Microsoft conference lol They could show off something for their new Xbox, but I'm not sure on that one yet.
Bethesda - After the horseshit they pulled with Fallout 76, I probably won't even watch it this year. I know we'll get Doom Eternal gameplay, which will be great, I wouldn't be surprised if we see Starfield revealed, probably some other good stuff, but man I think they pushed away lot of their fanbase with Fallout 76 and they are gonna have to work extra hard to build things back up, because that was a disaster.
Devolver Digital - They always have their really silly, Adult Swim-esque, conference, and it'll be worth watching for that alone, but as a company, they are pretty fun with the smaller games they put out. Would be nice to get a date for Metal Wolf Chaos XD so I can check out that goofy game.
Ubisoft - Ubisoft is Ubisoft, so not sure what to be interested in for this. Maybe we see another Nintendo crossover, I know we aren't going to see anything on Skull & Bones, they could talk about the Splinter Cell game they hinted at, and there isn't much I'd personally be interested in with them. Maybe they'll surprise me with something.
Square-Enix - This event is all about Final Fantasy 7. Hopefully the reveal of Tifa, more gameplay, release date for the first part of the game, this is the excitement right here. Hopefully there's other good stuff planned, but this is the only thing anyone is watching this for lol
Nintendo - I'm personally not very excited for it this year. Normally I am, but the stuff likely to be shown off isn't personally something I'm not crazy about. We'll probably get Animal Crossing reveal, which will probably just be what you expect out of Animal Crossing. We'll get more on Pokemon, which will probably be what you expect out of Pokemon. We'll see more on Link's Awakening, which will be nice even though I'm not a huge fan of the visuals. I wouldn't be surprised if they announce Wind Waker and Twilight Princess for Switch, but thats not really big or important news. We'll also get a Smash Bros character reveal guaranteed. What I am excited for is Astral Chain and hopefully Bayonetta 3, making this event more about Platinum than it is Nintendo for me personally.
