E3 2015

Is this in addition to Banjo, or is this that teased game?

Any screens?

There might be a new Banjo game, I'm not sure. But this is the teased one. It's called Sea of Thieves.

Any screens?

Hopefully soon!

I might have to get an X-Box One after all.

I might have to get an X-Box One after all.

Yeah, between the 360 BC and some of the games they showed off today, it's really starting to look like a great system.

Seriously though, motherfucking Cuphead. I guarantee you'll get a kick outta' this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TjUPXAn2Rg

[Spark Of Spirit]

Apparently that's going to be on Steam?

Wow, see what I mean about graphics? 2D gaming is never going to look better than this. Still, I hope this plays as good as it looks!

[Spark Of Spirit]

Rive looks awesome.

It's like Blaster Master, R-Type, and Metroid all melded together. My kind of game.

Xbone just announced full backwards compatibility. It will soon be able to play every single Xbox 360 game, both retail and download.

That's good shit.

Sweet!

Rareware just announced a cooperative pirate game with cartoon graphics. It looks fucking amazing. There's also a compilation coming of every single game they've ever made that isn't owned by Nintendo, including the original version of Bad Fur Day.

Also, Cuphead looks like the best thing since sliced bread.

Microsoft is killing it this year.

Including every Battletoads excluding the Gameboy game and maybe the Double Dragon crossover?  Big ups to the IGN game for actually saying he expected a new Battletoads. Annnd IGN just failed by saying "Will anyone care about Tomb Raider when there's Uncharted 4?

And holy (unholy?) fucking shit does Cuphead look good! This is renewing my love for gaming. I haven't been excited about an E3 in years.

[Spark Of Spirit]

So, uh, Sea of Thieves is coming to Windows 10. Why isn't it exclusive to the XBone? I thought they needed exclusives?

[Foggle]

I think it makes sense for this particular game due to the multiplayer focus. Not everyone is going to want to pay a subscription to play online, and online games generally last much longer on PC. This will probably increase the brand recognition of Xbox and make Microsoft more money than keeping it Xbox One exclusive would. If they announce a new Banjo game (or anything else single-player), it will likely be only on Xbone, like Rare Replay.

Anyway, the EA conference was a snore, but Mirror's Edge: Catalyst looks mind-numbingly good. It's just like the first game but with enhanced platforming, much better graphics, open-world gameplay, and NO GUNS! Unravel also looks great. Both the game and its developer are adorable and sweet.

[gunswordfist]

Who cares? Microsoft will be making money and making more money since it's on two platforms and it's still not available on other consoles.

I thought Plants Vs. Zombies looked better than Unravel. I loved the Battlefront gameplay and yes, Mirror's Edge looked great

Anyone with a Wii U may want to go to the eshop and download some free indie demos. When the games come out you will get a 15% deal on them if you downloaded these demos.

[Foggle]

I thought Plants Vs. Zombies looked better than Unravel.

Ew. Well, at least you didn't say that freemium Minions game.

Meh, I rather play a fun action co-op game than another yarn platformer.

That's ingenious.

Yes, a mobile tower defense game turned into an arena shooter is totally better than an evocative passion project.
