Hadn't heard about Yooka Laylee before, but it looks just like some of the games released for consoles in the late 90's (except better graphics, of course). And that is meant in the best way possible - it looks lovely!
Too bad I don't own a Playstation. Do you know if it's console exclusive?
Oh, just noticed the developers are Team17. Love those guys <3

The Devs are playtonic. Team17 is the publisher. Playtonic consists out of several former key personnel from Rare during the Nintendo 64 era.
Among them, Banjo-Kazooie designers Chris Sutherland, Steve Mayles and Steven Hurst reprise their respective roles of lead programmer and voice actor, character artist, and environmental artist. Grant Kirkhope also returns as composer.

Yooka-Laylee is the spiritual successor to Banjo Kazooie
It was a kickstart funded project. It's made in the unity engine and is set to release for Microsoft Windows, OS X, Linux, PlayStation 4, Wii U, Xbox One in Q1 2017

Watched both the EA and Bethesda showcases. Have to say BF1 and Dishonored 2 look really good but nothing else really caught my interest. And no TES 6

I don't think TESVI was a reasonable expectation . Fallout 4 hasn't even been around for a year yet and they're still making stuff for it. Bethesda has long development cycles. It's probably safe to say we won't hear about TESVI before 2018.
I just saw the prey trailer. Kinda dissapointed Seems they're rebooting the franchise rather trying to make that awesome bounty hunter / space cowboy sci-fi game they showed a few years back.
Not saying it can't be good, but I really had my hopes up for it. This seems like something we've seen before. Kinda dead-spacey
BF1 looks cool though. I think I'd like to buy it. I think that would be the first pure FPS game I've ever spent money on... Would be a nice game to test the capabilities of my new PC Hope it'll be well-optimized around launch.

Hmm Turns out Todd Howard actually confirmed TES6 is being worked on. But also says it's a really long ways off . There's a lot of rumors going around It'll be Valenwood up next, though I don't know yet what the rumor is based on.

Ah, nice. As I said, never heard of the game before. So thanks for the info. Awesome to see that it'll be arriving for Windows too. That way, I can actually get to play it

Things that were great:
GoW4 DoW3 Scalebound
Was happy to see more FF15 even though that beta pack is pretty cringe worthy.
Dishonored 2 ? Cool I guess, not particularly hyped.
Battlefield 1: Cool graphics as always but I actually feel pretty meh about it.
Titanfall 2: Not too bad, I liked the first one so ...
Hope it'll be well-optimized around launch.
