Where is VR? I didn't follow E3, probably for the best as I don't see VR mentioned anywhere. Wasn't MS supposedly going to do something with the MR headsets on X1X? Did Sony show anything big for VR at E3? It seems Tetris effect is my only highly anticipated game for now.



2018:
-Monster Hunter World
-Dragon Ball Fighter Z
-Yakuza 6
-Kingdom Come Deliverance
-Kirby Star Allies
-God Of War
-Ni No Kuni 2
-Far Cry 5
-A Way Out
-Fe
-Shadow of the Colossus
-Detroit Become Human
-Soulcaliber 6
-Spider-Man
-Red Dead Redemption 2
-Fallout 76
-Smash Bros Ultimate
-Tales of Vesperia
-Tomb Raider
-Pokémon
-Mario Party

This looks like one of the strongest and most varied years in gaming I've seen in quite some time. I can understand that these games aren't quite as genre defining as last year's, but they still seem exceptionally strong. As far as this year's E3 goes, it was definitely one of the weakest I've seen.

Wasn't MS supposedly going to do something with the MR headsets on X1X? Bargaining.

Did Sony show anything big for VR at E3? Depression.

You might want to sit down....I don't know how to tell you this. VR was very sick so we took him to the hospital.....the developers said there was nothing more they could do.

VR is dead, NINTENDO LABO 02: ROBOT KIT is the future.



Nov 2016 - NES outsells PS1 (JP)

Don't Play Stationary 4 ever. Switch!

Ha, that reminds me. My son got the Robot kit for his birthday from his grand dad. We built the headpiece, then he lost interest. Now he's playing Fortnight on the Switch instead. And I wanted to give him the variety set as well, dodged that bullet...

All three E3s were a major let down, but I can't tell from the title in the OP and your poll whether you are talking about this year in gaming or specifically what remains for the year after the E3 presentations.

This year has been amazing and there are still more great games coming. As for E3, I still looking forward to spidey and dreams.



There was a lot of games I like from all 3 conferences, but I did have some major problems with all three presentations

 

Microsoft

Halo Infinite: Return of the classic art style and music is great along with a new engine but zero gameplay or even gameplay details

New First Party Studios: Ninja Theory was much of a surprise as it is a good buy for MS, they could honestly become their Naughty Dog if they invest in them properly and give them the freedom they need to make their games the best they can be. But it feels a little too late for Xbox One since we won't anything from these studios except Forza Horizon until next gen it seems like.

Tales of Vesperia, DMC5, Kingdom Hearts 3, Shadows Die Twice, Dying Light 2, Cyberpunk 2077 all great reveals, but I plan playing Tales on my Switch and the rest on my PS4.

Microsoft had their best showing this gen and was a great show for gaming as whole, but its clear that while they are taking steps in the right direction, that MS first party problem won't be solved until next gen. 

 

Sony

The Last of Us, Ghosts of Tsushima, Death Stranding, and Spider-Man are all gonna be fantastic games, but only one of them has a release date, let alone a release year and we didn't get to see any real gameplay for Death Standing just another vague trailer. 

Control, Kingdom Hearts 3, Resident Evil 2 were the only multiplats that at all grab my attention, in fact I can't remember if any other multiplat was shown.

The pacing was horrible due to the music and that god damn intermission which didn't really reveal anything and took up a shocking amount of the conference and was honestly the most boring moment during this years E3.

Also Sony is totally sending Dreams out to die. 

 

Nintendo

Smash 4 was my 2014 GOTY and Smash Ultimate looks to be top 3 of 2018 at least and as someone who has been slowly getting into competitive I loved the amount of detail Sakurai went into when it comes to changes, but I can see why others got annoyed by this if they weren't into competitive play.

I don't think 2018 is as barren as everyone is making it out to be for the Switch since if you look at the list upcoming games third wise it is a step up from last year and while I don't think its as good the Wii U's 2014 holiday line up first wise or especially 2017 first party wise. Smash and Pokemon Lets Go are gonna move a lot of systems, maybe not to the 20 million units Nintendo is aiming for, but still a lot like at least around 15 to 17 million I say. But I do feel that they could of use about 1 to 2 more first party games and at least shown a bit more 2019 stuff to make their presentation a bit better.

 

Overall while I was a bit disappoint by this E3 since I was expecting a lot more then what we got, I still really liked a good amount of the things we got. 



It's ok. Not great, but not bad either. I'm interested in Mario Tennis Aces, Spiderman, Just Cause, Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu & Pokémon Let's Go Eevee, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Starlink: Battle for Atlas, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, MegaMan 11, MegaMan X Collection and Crash Bandicoot Remastered.

It's your average year I think, but 2019 is shaping up to be another 2017, if not better.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

I kinda agree. I love sony exclusives and there isnt anything interesting other than Spiderman which I am not that interested in. On the other hand i am still playing GOW so overall it hasn't been a bad year at all



<a href="https://psnprofiles.com/fauzman"><img src="https://card.psnprofiles.com/2/fauzman.png" border="0"></a>

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Devil May Cry 5, Resident Evil 2 Remake, rage 2, RDR2, nioh 2, last of us2, ghosts of tsushima, and spider man. Never have i had so many must buys that i'm looking forward too. plus GOW which is probably my favorite game of all time.
