Piranha Bytes hasn't made anything good in a long time.

I'd never heard of them or their work previously, but the trailer seemed interesting. Mediocre games are better than no games! Hoping to find something else at E3 that interests me for the autumn and winter other than AC.

Well, thats a weird sign of the times. Someone has stolen some of CDPR's files from Cyberpunk 2077 and is holding them ransom. CDPR will not give into the demands, and is turning to the authorities. The end result is there may be some stuff out there online from the game which although old, could be spoilery.

CDPR says the documents are old, and probably aren't in use anymore.

And now, back to wholly original RPGs:

Square-Enix's E3 schedule is up

Watching that actually brought me back to 2004 or 05 when the original stills and trailers for the game were released, and it all looked so awesome for the time. The absolute height of the PS2 era, and it looks like they've done it proud upscaling it for today.

A Way Out looks really cool. I loved Brothers so I have high hopes.

Some games have my attention, like Anthem.

I'm glad that Microsoft is still out there, competing with Sony. I doubt I'll ever own their stuff, but as long as all three companies are strong, its good for ALL console gamers.

I still don't understand MS's use of 'exclusive' when every one of their first party games can be played on PC except for Halo 5.

Console exclusive. PC games are treated like an alternate universe at E3.

Yeah, whenever either MS or Sony use the term, it almost always just means that its not on the other one, since most Nintendo games are exclusive to their own systems too. Part of the reason that I'm a Sony guy is that I rarely have any interest in MS's stuff.

I'll wait til we get to see it played on a PS4 Pro before I get all jazzed up about it's visuals. It will probably still look great, but this trailer looks an awful lot like another Watch Dogs situation.

Ubisoft, surprisingly, looks like they used a normal console for their AC gameplay presentation. I could be wrong though.

That looks awesome!

Anthem to me looks like Bioware was trying to get the Iron Man license, lost out, and decided that Destiny was a really fun game.
