Check out that E3recap site above. It includes games that aren't part of the big shows and... nowadays those tend to be the most exciting :X

MS conference has begun:
https://www.twitch.tv/twitch
edit: It's done.

EA highlights for me:
- A Way Out
- Starwars Battlefront II

A Way Out just feels fresh and somehow already looks like a classic, even though I'm really not big on co-op games at all :/

BFII looks even more stunning than BFI and finally has that long due single player mode. Naboo looks amazing and I love that you can play as a Droid . This may be the first time I ever purchase a Dice game.
It looks to be doing a lot of things right


MS highlights for me:
- Backwards compatibility to original Xbox
- Metro Exodus
- Dragonball Fighter Z
- Middle-earth Shadow of War
- Ori and the Will of the Wisps
- Super Luckys Tale
- Sea of Thieves
- Crackdown 3
- Anthem (EA/Bioware)

MS conference was actually pretty good. Relatively no nonsense, lots of games. No real exclusives, which is honestly totally fine by me since I only play on PC anyway. Backwards compatibility hit the audience like a truck and it's pretty cool.

For the rest a lot of great to cautiously interesting games. The Metro game was pretty much all scripted, but I'll be damned if it didn't look real interesting. The Dragonball Fighter game looked phenomenal, but I don't actually like fighter games D: But they seriously nailed the aesthetic. Ori is Ori. It's pretty as ****, and it plays nice.

Shadow of war looked fun overall. Not super amazing, but not boring at all. Same for Crackdown 3 and Anthem, which is likely intended as competitor for Destiny 2.

Sea of thieves is a weird one. It's that pirate game people have been screaming for ever since Assassins Creed Black Flag. And even though it's not really my type of game, it looks pretty nice.

Super Lucky's Tale could be really good or pretty meh. It's an old-school 3D mascot platformer with what looks like it could be an actual decent mascot. It looks like it could be really great, but after the somewhat luke-warm reception of Yooka-Laylee I think it's good to be cautious. At least the game looks to have more polish than YL from the the trailer.

Wow... just wow.
Bethesda's conference was absolutely worthless...
Also paid mods are back bois...

Just watched the Bethesda conference. Holy balls it was garbage. Sure, wolfenstein and Evil Withing seem like cool games but that was it, everything else was a joke.

I feel a need to point this out:

Motherfuckers just done teased Age of Empires IV...

p.s. Watch that Devolver Digital conference!

Worst E3 in a long time. Fake 4k / VR / Fake 4k / VR / 4k Minecraft(lol) / Skyrim sold for 20'th time.

Single title screen from Nintendo took the whole show.
