Eliwood8 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 E3 proper doesn't begin until next week, but since there are a few big gaming news events coming up this week I thought listing out the schedule would be helpful now, as well as a thread to discuss E3 in general (remember to put any rumors, leaks, or spoilers in a spoiler tag). Sony will not be attending E3 this year but there's still going to be plenty to see!

Link, the Hero of Dreams Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 *looks at Wikipedia site saying from the 11-13* But, what will be there the two days after Nintendo’s press conference. And it’s weird not seeing Sony this time around. Quote Link to comment

And it’s weird not seeing Sony this time around. The 11th–13th is when the show floor is open and attendees can demo the games available; all presentations happen before that time. For the past several years Nintendo has been the final presentation before the show floor opens. Quote Link to comment
Fuzzer1 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Wonder what Sony is doing for new announcements since they're not at E3? Quote Link to comment
Kezay Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I keep forgetting about the whole Stadia thing. I'm interested to see what it actually turns out to be. Other than that, can't wait for the Pokemon Direct later this week. From what I'm hearing there's expectations for Microsoft to have a blow out of a conference. I don't own an XBOne or anything but I'm wondering what they have up their sleeves for this. If nothing else I want to see how the new Battletoads game will be look and play. Then there's Nintendo's E3 direct, the first without Reggie heading NoA which is rather bittersweet. But I'm betting on some pretty nice announcements so I'm looking forward to that.

purple_beard Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Well, the worst thing about E3 week is the leaks and rumors.... you can't believe anything till it comes from the horse's mouth. Doc Brown 1 Quote Link to comment
DLurkster Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 TBH, maybe cause I'm older or just more busy this or whatever. I haven't paying much to rumors or they just did not interest me to think, 'ooo, I wonder if that's true'. I can't think of any at the top of mind head I can list right now. It is what it is.

DLurkster Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Stadia details $9.99 a month to play all the games you want under the pro subscription. There's a base version where you pay for the game you want to play on Stadia servers. Then there's the founder's Edition, that comes with all the DLC for Destiny 2 including the one coming this fall, 3 month subscriptions of Stadia Pro, plus bonus 3 months subscription to give to a friend, Chromecast Ultra (allows you to stream in 4K), limited edition midnight blue controller and first dibs on choosing your username. All of that will cost you $129.99. Also, how the streaming will work is if your internet speed is 35mbps for 4K HDR 5.1 surround sound stream at 60 FPS. 20mbps for 1080p 60FPS surround sound. 10mbps and below is 720p 60FPS stereo soun. It looks like if you have less than 10mbps you have 720p stereo sound but no mention of 60FPS. Launches in 14 countries this November. Quote Link to comment
Eliwood8 Posted June 6, 2019 Author Share Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) I kept getting a playback error while trying to watch the Stadia livestream on Youtube which makes me pretty dubious of ever paying for the service. The fact that you have to buy the games anyway though really makes Stadia not seem worth it compared to just buying games anywhere else. Edited June 6, 2019 by Eliwood8 Quote Link to comment

That's true but the same can be said for paying $9.99 to playing any game on Stadia. That is similar to xbox game pass. The only difference is that you download the games on to your xbox one as to oppose to with Stadia it's a straight play on any device. Quote Link to comment
purple_beard Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Not a MS guy but when I got shown that Forza 4 Lego DLC I had an immediate ZOMGZ..... why can't we get a REAL Lego Racers 2 Quote Link to comment
Link, the Hero of Dreams Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 We did. Call for a Lego Racers 3. Quote Link to comment

Eliwood8 Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 (edited) Pretty great showcase from Xbox—totally focused on just showing off games, including plenty of exclusives, and Game Pass seems like a huge value, moreso than I initially thought. Still not going to run out and buy an Xbox One but it was a fun watch. Oh yeah, and who better than Neo himself to help introduce your sci-fi cyberpunk game?

DLurkster Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I forgot where I left off in watching the xbox briefing but friend who haven't had Nintendo console since N64, bought a Switch on Thursday and got Ultimate and already can play online and ask me to play with him online. I played handheld but I was more focused on game than playing and watch the briefing. I gotta rewatch the briefing, just gotta remember where, lol. Quote Link to comment
DLurkster Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Found where I left off in the briefing. Lot of games shown but what I'm annoyed by Bamco is if they bringing another Tales games coming to Xbox again. Tales of Arise looks interesting but that's about it. I want to know more despite it coming out next year, also want to know if coming to other platform. That game for sure is not coming out for Switch, no way it can run on that. That is actually the first time I seen Tales game look up to the times of what graphics should look like today, that's the only really thing that got me excite for the game. Cyberpunk 2077 is looking more and more intriguing and now they brought in Keanu Reeves, I'm more sold on the game now. I think that's about it that I'm looking forward. I would be excited for the Dragon Ball Z game but how many times they going to retell Goku story. Game is the best looking in video games ever but this art direct leaves much to be desired. So lots of game, happy for those they see something they like but that's about it for me. Quote Link to comment
