E3 2021 - June 12 - 15

[Raymond Lin]

Arcade racing over racing sim for me too. Just like the use other cars as cushions when cornering and bump them off the track. Explains why I am enjoying Wreckfest so much.

Same, the last "sim" racer I played was the 1st project cars and it had quite a few bugs and was quite boring. I used to prefer a more sim like racer but now something like horizon grabs my attention more, its fun and although more arcade it does have a little mix of sim in it I guess which makes it perfect. Horizon 5 looks absolutely brilliant from what I have seen and to think its coming later this year and on game pass!

From the Summer onwards I feel these new consoles are finally starting to get some truly next gen gaming experiences, late 2021 and into 2022 looks fantastic for games.

Likewise.. I still love Forza Motorsport 7, but I always find myself loading up FH4 instead even though I've played it to death already

I used to be the opposite. Wouldn't touch an arcade racer and was only into sims. I am the other way around now and prefer a more chilled and fun game to a sim.

I am the opposite of you, arcade games bore me to tears.

I much rather just play GTA5 then Horizon if i really wanted to play some turn your brain off driving.

Horizon is proper overrated. The racing is awful

This 100%. The racing is what I expected but its just the rest of the game that grates on me. Its totally pointless and personally I don't ever enjoy any gaming session on it. In the end it goes off after 30 minutes.

I think you might have missed the point of the Horizon series.... It's almost like there are two game streams under the Forza IP for a reason.

Nothing of note from Capcom this evening. I was hoping for a Dragons Dogma 2 announcement.

 

[Simon]

FH5 should be good.

FH4 is the only one I played but it really is my era of cars, 80s kid with all the cars you grew up with, upgrade heros missions were ace. Dont know if FH5 can hit that magic again, although Lego island was great fun too.

Plenty of people disappointed, mostly DLC announcements, nothing new.

 

[McBain]

FH5 looks absolutely ridiculous.

I'd love a new dragon's dogma game

Play gta5, way better driving arcade open world.

The open world on Horizon and what you can do was boring.

What is the consensus on this years E3 - been pretty poor imo - I know there's a global pandemic going on but there's hardly been anything of any real note shown bar some utterly bonkers FH5 footage that looks utterly brilliant. BF 2042 actually looked meh after watching it back.

Starfield we had a teaser trailer and release date but not even a few seconds of alpha gameplay footage - bizarre.

Hoping Nintendo rescue it tonight with the rumoured Switch Pro announcement and more details on the upcoming Poke' games.

 

[Plainsong]

It's been 4 years since Nintendo showed us that Metroid Prime 4 logo. I won't be holding my breath though.

Fast travel. Who drives around aimlessly (apart from unlocking season challenges)

 

[Plainsong]

I used to love playing GTA4 just driving around listening to the radio. In car view, headphones on. I loved the stations in that game.

I think it helps if you are a petrol head.

GTA5 offers very little to a petrol head, FH on the other hand does much right.

Anyway enough, it's a console seller and MS know it.

I would love a new Metroid game, been so long

Don't think the new Switch version will be announced at E3 as Nintendo have already said it's software only. Rumours were it was going to be announced before E3 but alas the wait goes on. Expecting the "Starfield" treatment at best for BotW2, a teaser plus a release date of next year.

And yeah, it's been a poor E3, don't know whether it's the pandemic or an early console gen lull. BF2042 looks like a BF4 mod and too silly and esoteric for my tastes, plus talk of "heroes". I loved BF4 back in the day, would have loved a true sequel to that.

I got real BF2/3 Vibes from the 2042 trailer and gameplay.
