Lynx and Paint
Just random thoughts! I admit I'm not paying close attention this year
Lynx and Paint
I might have a meeting today, I'm not sure, so I dunno if I'll be interrupted in the middle of conferences
VeGGies
GURRS A WURR
VeGGies
lmfao, I love it when they pretend like the people onstage are playing the games when they're actually just holding controllers while a demo plays onstage
VeGGies
I'm kind of glad that crossplay is becoming a thing people want to do. :|a
Lynx and Paint
wait I know nothing about Gears of War but is this like full on space marine business?
Lynx and Paint
I thought it like...had some kinda realism or something
Lynx and Paint
he firing razor blades at the aliens?
ᴋᴜʀɪᴋᴀʀᴀ。
why not
Lynx and Paint
when does Wreck-It Ralph show up
Lynx and Paint
and Calhoun
VeGGies
Gears of War is like, the definitive space marine business
VeGGies
I never played it but my cousin is a big fan
ex-arch
WARS OF GEAR
VeGGies
Game of Wars of Gears
Lynx and Paint
huh I was mistaken then, I thought it was regular war game instead of space marine game
ex-arch
I think Wars of Gear is what post game FFXIV is
ex-arch
A fashion show in the middle of a war
VeGGies
Nah, uhhh... Battlefield and Call of Duty are regular war games. Gears has always been sci fi.
Lynx and Paint
dow na na nowwww guitar lick
Lynx and Paint
Rash Battletoads like LOOK AT MAH SPIKE BOOT
Lynx and Paint
hey it's the villain from Galaxy Quest
Lynx and Paint
time for the vroom vrooms
VeGGies
Well, they couldn't have kicked this off in a more Microsoft fashion, lmfao
Lynx and Paint
yeeup
Bat Matt
...please god tell me they're not remaking BT.
ᴋᴜʀɪᴋᴀʀᴀ。
seriously
VeGGies
Man, I was kind of digging the scenery and the music and then it was CARS
VeGGies
CARS!!!!! 
Lynx and Paint
no, this is Forza
Lynx and Paint
and I know right
Lynx and Paint
I was like OH PRETTY LANDSCAPE....oh it's cars, okay.
VeGGies
NO SHE FUCKING WON'T, YOU LIAR
ex-arch
"here at Microsoft we acknowledge both genres of video game: Gun and Car"
VeGGies
NO HE WON'T
VeGGies
YOU'RE PLAYING THREE DEMOS AT ONCE YOU HUGE LIARS
Lynx and Paint
You can tell it's Australian because OF MY OBVIOUS ACCENT AYE MATEY SHRIMP ON THE BARBIE
Bat Matt
"sometimes, we like to go cross-genre, but is hard. makes our thinkmeats hurt."
VeGGies
Full disclosure: I never had a PS3, I went 360 last gen
VeGGies
so my gentle ribbing of Microsoft comes from a place of affection (mostly)
Bat Matt
I have a PS3 I've played... once. else I'm full PC.
Lynx and Paint
there's like five MST3K jokes I could be making right now
Lynx and Paint
and man I still need to get a PS4 soon enough, before December anyway
VeGGies
Oh! It's the robit girl game from last year!
VeGGies
I almost forgot about that
Lynx and Paint
oh yes I liked that one!
VeGGies
Oh jesus, here we go
Lynx and Paint
oh HEY there FFXV
VeGGies
"We swear to god, FFXV is really happening!"
VeGGies
No it won't, Tobata-san
VeGGies
Everyone stop lying about the demos, lmfao
Lynx and Paint
just show your pretty trailers it's okay
Lynx and Paint
I dunno, this looks like it'd be me actually playing it
VeGGies
Yeah, I kind of actually believe this one
VeGGies
The demo would be a lot cooler and less getting hurt, I feel like...
Lynx and Paint
yeah exactly
VeGGies
LMFAO
VeGGies
Okay, that was live
VeGGies
and I think they deserve credit for that
Lynx and Paint
/eyebrow raise...so wait we have a release date now?
VeGGies
Sounded like it
Lynx and Paint
daaaamn finally
Lynx and Paint
NOT THE DOVE
VeGGies
I have no interest in Battlefield and its ilk but it is kind of cool they're doing WW1
Lynx and Paint
about to say...is this WWI?
VeGGies
It is. That's why it's called Battlefield 1
Lynx and Paint
man this is random but I want to see a full game of this one German WWI demo that Markiplier played where it was a horror game of being trapped in a WWI trench
Lynx and Paint
and there's just velociraptors
𝙨𝙪𝙥𝙚𝙧 𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙙
see, THAT'S the authentic WWI experience
𝙨𝙪𝙥𝙚𝙧 𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙙
... then you said velociraptors
𝙨𝙪𝙥𝙚𝙧 𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙙
damn
Lynx and Paint
I don't know why there were raptors but it was like...all the horrors of gas, claustriphobia, sirens, shells and everything
Lynx and Paint
and also raptors
𝙨𝙪𝙥𝙚𝙧 𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙙
I MEAN
𝙨𝙪𝙥𝙚𝙧 𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙙
THAT WOULD MAKE IT MORE HORRIFYING, YES
Lynx and Paint
SO IT WAS INTERESTING TO SEE I'D WANT TO SEE A WHOLE STORY BEHIND THAT
VeGGies
According to Jim Sterling, they almost shut down the idea of Battlefield 1 because they thought "kids these days don't know anything from before WW2"
Lynx and Paint
...okay that is incredibly dumb
VeGGies
That was Jimquisition last week, lmfao
VeGGies
OBLIGATORY MINECRAFT UPDATE
Lynx and Paint
because one, even if that WERE true, it's like WOW HERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO EDUCATE KIDS ON A THING THROUGH SOMETHING THEY ENJOY LIKE GAMING
VeGGies
Also, it's an M-rated game, EA, you stupid fucks
Lynx and Paint
for serious
𝙨𝙪𝙥𝙚𝙧 𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙙
also, maybe people would know more about wars past WW2 if they made games based on anything BUT WW2
Lynx and Paint
also the next generation of gamers/developers is going to be influenced by Minecraft more than anything else
Lynx and Paint
^^ that too
VeGGies
Minecraft is so huge with the kiddos.
Lynx and Paint
it really is
VeGGies
I see tons of stuff at work about it
VeGGies
Ah, more Minecraft VR stuff
Lynx and Paint
OH LOOK VR DEMOS knew those would show up
Lynx and Paint
it's like the new 3D games thing, it ain't gonna work
VeGGies
lmfao oh my god, Minecraft mine rides in VR would make me hurl so hard
Lynx and Paint
not unless 1) you make it accessible to people with disability, and 2) make it affordable
Lynx and Paint
and by "disability" I also mean "anyone who gets motion sickness with that kind of interface"
VeGGies
ngl I would shell out a little bit for a custom controller
Lynx and Paint
that is...a very vague trailer
L'fuckingChaim
yeah, very vague for something coming out this month
VeGGies
If it's anything like Limbo, it's probably a pretty simple game
Lynx and Paint
Cuphead and Yooka-Laylee still look great
VeGGies
STILL PRETTY JEALOUS OF CUPHEAD
Lynx and Paint
...damn having fans be able to talk to developers DURING development sounds like the WORST idea
ᴋᴜʀɪᴋᴀʀᴀ。
it's going to be an absolute nightmare
Lynx and Paint
although this is...interesting...
VeGGies
This looks like a pre-war Fallout game actually
Lynx and Paint
saw that coming
Lynx and Paint
about to say, I thought it was Fallout at first, but this looks different?
VeGGies
It looks a lot like how America was before the nuclear war in the Fallout universe, with the 50s aesthetic
Lynx and Paint
/nod
Lynx and Paint
and now, WE WISH WE WERE HEARTHSTONE
Lynx and Paint
and Tekken, okay
VeGGies
Hearthstone ripoffs are all the rage
VeGGies
Not that all card games are Hearthstone ripoffs, but let's be real... they are
VeGGies
also I like that a fighting game with a story mode is special now 
VeGGies
CAMERA, ZOOM IN
VeGGies
WE CAN'T SEE
VeGGies
Dead Rising 4
Lynx and Paint
/big shrugs don't care much about zombie games
VeGGies
Dead Rising is fun for being open world but I'm awful at them
VeGGies
HI KAMIYA
VeGGies
TWITTER HERO HIDEKI KAMIYA, EVERYONE
Lynx and Paint
hit the weak point for massive damange
VeGGies
This is the most Platinum trailer I've ever seen
VeGGies
The modern/fantasy weapons aesthetic is super dorky but I really enjoy it...
Lynx and Paint
yesh
Lynx and Paint
also apparently crab gods keep their hearts in their heads!
VeGGies
Rare! Good to see you, Rare!
Lynx and Paint
this looks like a nice pirate game
Lynx and Paint
aaand another zombie game
Lynx and Paint
/startin to snooze
Lynx and Paint
blah blah specs never guarantee if a console is successful or not
Lynx and Paint
okay but...CAN. NORMAL PEOPLE. AFFORD IT.
Lynx and Paint
because if they cannot! Then! IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW SHINY IT IS
L'fuckingChaim
"no one gets left behind" EXCEPT PEOPLE OF AVERAGE WEALTH
Lynx and Paint
PRETTY MUCH
Lynx and Paint
seriously guys, stop making gaming into a more and more elite experience
Lynx and Paint
otherwise people are going to stick with WHAT THEY CAN AFFORD
Lynx and Paint
so, that was indeed a thing!
Lynx and Paint
and dangit, unless I leave for home early, I'm going to miss the start of the Sony conference
Lynx and Paint
which...I could possibly do, I am caught up on my thumbs and our review meeting isn't until tomorrow
