I've been so busy with working on music that I didn't get to talk about E3 at all. At least I finished it:
Steam Summer Sale began on Thursday and Summer Games Done Quick begins tomorrow, so there isn't much time to talk about E3. Still, I want to briefly skim over some of the games I saw this year (and a lot of good ones were announced this year).
New Games that impressed me:
Control
Control looks pretty wild with its physics based combat and trippy presentation.
Cyberpunk 2077
Cyberpunk 2077 is actually not a newly announced and was teased 5 years ago. Despite not showing any gameplay, the new trailer really sets itself up for what kind of world we're going to get to see in this game and it looks crazy. It's lively, colorful, and imaginative with a very immersive feel to it. Whether we're going to get to play it within the next two years or not is questionable, but I'm certainly a lot more interested in it now.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses
We finally get to see something for the new Fire Emblem game on Switch and it looks beautiful! I was a little surprised when the music turned into Drum 'n Bass, but I think I like it. My only worry is that it's called "Three Houses" and I don't want them to split it into three games again like they did with Conquest, Birthright, and Revelations.
Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise
I honestly wasn't sure if we were going to get this game or not in the West. I'm glad we are because this looks really good.
Ghost of Tsushima
There aren't enough games with realistic Katana swordplay and I've yearned for one for many years. Ghost of Tsushima was certainly a surprise at E3 and I was really impressed by the dynamic combat they showed off. I'm looking forward to this game.
Jump Force
I'm not sure how I feel about this announcement yet. I love the visuals and it seems to be a much bigger budget of a game than J-Stars Victory VS, but I don't know enough about the gameplay. If it's just a nicer looking version of J-Stars Victory VS, then I might pass on this game. But if it's a completely new game with a new combat system that's faster-paced and not as clumsy along with a lot more characters, then I'll be super interested.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
When this game was teased last year during the The Game Awards, I was a little confused. I had suspected Bloodborne 2, but then I saw all those writing in the background. "Was Bloodborne 2 going to take place in Japan?" I didn't expect it to be a whole new IP. To me, it looks like Tenchu meets Dark Souls, and I couldn't be more excited. I'm definitely looking forward to this one.
There could be a ton more I can talk about, but I'll just stop right there so I can get back to trying out all these indie games I just bought from Steam Summer Sales.
