It should, but not all slices were across the face. Those armours were designed to take a slash and parry it off, so I don't mind that, but any hit to the face should result in a 1 hit kill.

Just give me a new Tenchu already!

Random fact - apparently a lot of samurai armor was made from paper. And were a LOT stronger against weaponry as a result (arrows especially)

But the samurais all ended up dying from infections caused by paper cuts from their armour.

TLOU 2 looks incredible. Cannot wait

Online comes in September.

Well I wasn't disappointed by the Direct since I hadn't high hopes anyway

Jesus Nintendo's conference was bad.

What if like me, you don't give a **** about Smash Brothers?

super_furry

Nintendo’s entire E3 was basically a 30 minute video on Smash Brothers patch notes.

But hey, Captain Olimar’s helmet can crack.

Smash brothers... now THERE is a game I never understood.

I lost interest in best em ups after Street Fighter was done coming up with ridiculous extra names to tag on to titles in the 90s, but still the game play in smash brothers just always left me feeling cold and detached from it (partly because it was a nightmare seeing where your character even was at times, and the weird jump-back-on-the-platform system that only seemed to work when it wanted, and sometimes not depending on... reasons?).

Its a very clever marketing concept, but I dont know that I've ever so much raised an eyebrow when looking at the game itself.

Have they bothered announcing Mario Maker on the Switch, will someone wake me up when they do please?

Kthxbye

The only one game I feel I missed out on not having a Wii U and of course they haven't announced it being ported...

That will be the big Switch 2019 title :pac:

I was a bit disappointed they didn't show more of the new pokemon game.

Apart from the money grab of that pokeball accessory which comes with an in game mew, they didn't show anything new for it.

They're showing it now live.

Clearly the latest return of the GameCube controller is the biggest news from the entire conference.

I am only being slightly hyperbolic.

Nice to see the xenoblade DLC coming in September.

Daemon X Machina looks interesting!

Fire emblem looks good.

No interest in smash brothers though and not sure about pokemon.

Agreed, the series is very overratted, disappointed with Nintendo, hope we get a 3dworld sequel or a 2d mario game soon. It's a pity we got nothing on FF7 but the 2 games I most wanted to see were TLOU2 and Resi2 remake so at least they made me very happy.

Well, I think its time to congratulate this years E3 winner.

Xbox.

Well done Xbox. Took a beating and kept pushing forward :cool:

With that I am signing off for this years E3. I look forward to the banter and news next year.

And now we have the saddest comment of E3.

If anyone won E3 it's Devolver Digital, they wiped the floor with Xbox and everyone else. Sony, Nintendo and Ubisoft were runner ups with MS coming quite low, sure they showed some third party titles but MS didn't show any first party game bar Crackdown 3 that we will see within the next 18 months and there's a real sense that Halo 6 will be a launch title for the next gen. The Xbox conference was pretty much, here's a bunch of titles we had nothing to do with developing or publishing but we paid a tonne of money to showcase.

I found E3 very underwhelming this year. This is the first year I didn’t stay up watching conferences, and for that I am glad. I think this is down to a recent trend of using social media to announce new titles, and leaks that are ever difficult to avoid in this connected world. E3 has changed and potentially won’t be the go-to for surprise releases and mass hype.

Microsoft seem to have had the best show, but I don’t feel the hype or excitement behind their showing. Good to see something more positive from them, all the same.

I’d been holding out for a solid Nintendo show but it wasn’t to be. Smash Bros never did it for me. I’ll look forward to the new Fire Emblem.

Glad to see Bethesda announce TES6 and their new IP Starfield. According to the Splitscreen podcast, TES is in pre-production (probably won’t be released for 3 years), and Starfield is in production (so most likely 2 years away).

I’ve stayed away from footage of any of the games that are close to release. I’ve seen enough footage of Spider-Man and The Last of Us at this stage; I don’t want them ruined for me.

Very poor E3 from the biggies.

Microsoft did a great job of announcing games I will be playing on anything but an xbox.

Sony had a piss poor set up but at least Death Stranding and Ghosts looked interesting while TLOU2 looked incredible. However all of those are over a year away with Spiderman looking bland.

Nintendo disappointed as well. Good stuff announced. Fire Emblem looks excellent although the anime look means we probably won't be getting a game to rival the incredible genealogy of war. Smash was a best of and a port of the WiiU game which I'm perfectly fine with. Nothing groundbreaking though. People shouldn't dismiss the new Mario Tennis. The guys at HG101 are raving about it saying it's got fighting game levels of mechanics and is insanely fun and technical.

I think E3 is just losing it's relevance. Nintendo announce most games through its own directs so expect more titles announced. And Sony have their own events where they announce their big games.

The PC conference was a pleasant surprise.
I tuned in previous years and it was a lot of talking. This year was quite enjoyable when I tuned in

I'm not too disappointed in E3, Daemon X MAchina and Metal Wolf Chaos have me pretty happy

I do wish the samurai games were pretty much always 1 hit kill type games. A sword slice across the face should always kill you.

How has Bushido Blade never come back?

Bit disappointed Square Enix revealed nothing on the Avengers Project game

I'm worried because Kojima's best stuff has been when he hasn't had total control and had people to say no to his silly ideas (MGS1, 3, Peacewalker, Boktai, ZOE2).

His bad stuff has mostly been when he has had almost complete creative control like MGS2 and 4 (for the MGS2 apologists, it had fantastic forward thinking ideas but the execution was garbage).

Saw this comment yesterday and was going to disagree but couldn't remember which game it was, the one with Raiden or the previous one. So I wiki'd it and saw it was the Raiden one. Read the plot & despite completing it several times couldn't remember it.

Youtubed some of the boss battles, Christ they looked painful. Remembered them vaguely, some Russian chick and a fat guy on roller-skates. It's funny how you remember things fondly when they don't really deserve it.
I do remember fighting a boss helicopter which was awesome.......or at least I think it was awesome
