I don't disagree with you. But maybe we should wait until we know more about the show before we start criticizing it.

Who knows, they may even get it right!

I'm not so sure. The last two shows have had them doing the exact same thing, and PCG doesn't like taking criticism very well. They continue to make "best of X" lists, and lack benchmarking articles and other PC gaming related news. Hell, they love covering and pissing off people on that site with RDR2 news, despite the fact that there has been no inkling of info that definitely suggests a PC port is coming. They excuse it with "it's definitely coming, since GTA V came two years later", while they ignore the lot of us calling them out on having used that excuse multiple times, yet they refuse to listen.

 

I will change my view of PCG when they stop acting casual and ignorant.

I agree with you on the RDR 2 part. I don't post the articles about it because as far as we know it's console exclusive, and I'm not sure it will come to PC. After all, the first one didn't.

PC benchmarks is something that fewer and fewer sites do, but it's easy to understand why. You need a lot of hardware, both CPUs and GPUs and it's very time consuming.

Guys, Abe's Oddysee is free on Steam! https://store.steampowered.com/app/15700/Oddworld_Abes_Oddysee/

Grab it while you can. Oh, and the rest of the games in the franchise are on sale: https://store.steampowered.com/sale/oddworld/

Gosh That game was amazing.
I already have a copy (Bloody surprise surprise) on Steam and Xbox though.

I would like to see a chunk of time dedicated to showcasing the tech/rendering side of things. But that's just me personally.
I don't have time to sit and observe all of E3 though, so hopefully there is a TLDR version at some point.

I think I still have the CDs of the first two games, from their original PC launch. Great games that I have both on Steam and GOG.

I wouldn't mind a bit of showcase, either a new engine tech demo or that ray-tracing demos that we've seen. But I'm affraid that it will depend on who is the sponsor of the show.

Well. On the games front, hopefully they showcase PC exclusives rather than one of the endless sequels in a franchise like Battlefield or Call of Duty.

eh, I don't see them showing off Cod or BF. I would definitely like to see some PC exclusives game footage. I don't want to see anything from MS regarding Xbox, but they can definitely do with showing us some AoE IV footage.

What I really want to see, are RTS and city building titles, rather than typical indie platformer/open world early access survival games, let alone F2P games. 

I wonder if the devs behind Two-point hospital will show up again.

It would be the perfect place for MSoft to show the first gameplay of Age of Empires IV, and even Ubisoft could show Anno 1800.
