I need to try Kingdom come deliverance again. Last i played, a glitch wrecked a really long mission for me and was too angry to play it again and sold it. Great game though, such a different experience than the usual game.

If a new one does get announced, I'll go back to it.

I played a bit of it, it was good but after a while I was like "I'm not playing yet another medieval type RPG" and switched it off.

Oh ****, Kingdom come royal edition (all dlc) is a tenner on psn. Goes back to 40 on Thursday.

All the more room for Sam Fisher's glorious return. :cool:

CastorTroy

Guess it rules out a new PoP as well then.

Mr Crispy

Yeah, looks like Rainbow Six Quarantine Parasite Extraction will be front and centre.

Ah **** off, Ubi. Either bring back a proper Splinter Cell game or let it die completely. Enough with the lame crossover nonsense.

It really is the weirdest sh*te they constantly pull. People want a new Splinter Cell game. What's the most Ubisoft thing to do? Shoehorn Fisher into every other Tom Clancy game to try boost those sales instead!

Strange choice.
Like that they know the character of Sam Fisher is liked and known. But can't justify development costs of a new Splinter Cell game?

I'm guessing Blacklist didn't sell as well as they'd hoped. I've no idea what the figures for it were like, but surely that's the only metric the bigwigs care about?

That's the Capcom, Gearbox, and PC Gaming Show slots now confirmed. I'll update the table in the next day or two, when hopefully we'll know when the majority of shows are.

My bad - I thought the tweet included a link to other timezones.

Anyway, the Tribeca Games Spotlight will be worth watching too. No new reveals, but they'll be looking at eight games including Sable, 12 Minutes, Kena - Bridge of Spirits, Harold Halibut, and more. Friday, 7PM our time.

Predictions:
Most looking forward to: Ubisoft Forward and Square Enix.
Winner will be: Bethesda/X Box.
Likely to disappoint: Dice/ Battlefield 6

We only have to wait until 4pm today for the Battlefield 6 reveal I'm hoping it is going to be good. Accordingly influenced by BF3/4.

Rumors that Kojima's next game is going to be multi-platform. Which would indicate it is not Death Stranding 2 as that was only PS4. Why release a sequel to a game that was console-exclusive only 2 short years ago.
Hmmm. Horror game would be my next bet if anything. So much buzz around his PT demo and people wanting another Silent Hill. You would figure it would be a smarter business move from his studio. But who knows.

Retr0gamer

If death stranding is ps4 only then why can I play it on pc.

You couldn't hit that quote button quick enough that you didn't quite read it huh? :pac:

.. it aint on switch or xbox one. which are consoles. I chose my words carefully when writing that as I am aware its on pc. But if you want to play it on console its only ps4. which is why i am saying why would death stranding 2 appear on xbox series x knowing the previous entry was ps4 only. So it sounds like kojima next game wont be DS2 imo.

Didnt stop mass effect 2.

It will depend on how much of a stake Sony have in the IP.

Oh and 22 minutes left to Battlefield 6 reveal. Accordingly the trailer won't drop until 4pm but the live stream starts at 3. Accordingly!

If Kojima was anyway smart, after the ****e with Konami he would have hard baked into every contract that he owns the games/IP/rights/characters/etc he makes, the publisher just publishes.

Feck sake.
The countdown to battlefield 6 YouTube video ended at 3pm to only.... wait for it... start another countdown until 4 lol. Come on whats the point! Lol.

Got an e-mail from Square-Enix inviting me to watch their "presentation" on Sunday. They are showing:

-Babylons Fall (interesting, not heard much on it since it was announced)
-Life is Strange: True Colors (never been in to the franchise so meh)
-Marvels Avengers (jesus, they are still trying to push this thing, aren't they! Gotta make back that million dollar hole its left in their balance sheet I suppose)

Same thing happened with the Far Cry 6 gameplay reveal

Retr0gamer

I've a feeling the avengers video could be a disaster.

Still, it could be saved. I mean Ubisoft have made it nearly their mo to release a mess and then save it with good support later on.

I'm hoping for the former as it will go well with chocolate and popcorn

Mr Crispy

I wonder are they bricking it over this rumoured GotG game now, following the Avengers' poor showing. I actually think a first person 4 player co-op Guardians game á la Vermintide could work well with the variety of characters and combat style.

In fairness that has been done by players in Battlefields game before. Might be a nod to that.

Looks nice but I already know it'll be like every other Battlefield game I've played. I spend five minutes running to a point, get sniped by someone I never see, and do it again.

looks ridiculous, just throwing in random set pieces to make things go bang. Really all over the place

case in point why would a quad be on top of a skyscraper?

@Eoin, we could probably do with a free space? So we'd have to eliminate three from the list... I think Ubi have said PoP won't be there, and I guess Splinter Cell and HL3 are probably the two least likely to happen? Or should we eliminate the two most likely to happen??

CastorTroy

I think the Sunset Overdrive Sony port can be removed since Sony don't have anything scheduled in the timeframe?
