Whereas Bethesda, who other people said won last year, really just revealed a terrible mobile game, a terrible online survival game, and two title teasers with no gameplay footage. Their only real highlight being Doom, which, yes, could be great. But it also didn't have real footage. I fished out my rankings from objective ranks from 2018 and: Microsoft > Ubisoft >> Sony > Nintendo > Square Enix > Bethesda = EA I would not believe anybody who said Bethesda was the best show. It was the longest of all the conferences of that year and very dull, self-congratulatory industry speak. The Rage band was uncomfortable and I'm still not sure if that was the intent. Elder Scrolls 6 was just a title card and it still is as we speak. As for Fallout 76, we didn't know back then how bad the game could be, but the hints were there in how they were talking about it. It seriously took months before people stopped expecting a traditional Fallout game because Bethesda gave frustratingly dodgy answers.

For me, it was Nintendo (3 Houses, Smash Ultimate) > Microsoft (but that didn't translate to quality exclusives for themselves) > Ubisoft (improving their image by leaps and bounds these past couple years) > Sony (why didn't they have anything new to show) > Bethesda (why do people love them) > Square Enix (why were they even there) > EA (why do they even exist).

It would be nice if they were remade, though, I agree. (I'm glad I have my two copies of both PoR and RD in great condition and mint for the latter) Anyway, for the topic, I would like more Link's Awakening info as well, I am a pretty big Zelda fan, so that's my number one, here.

I still have working copies too, but I haven't touched them in a long time because it wouldn't be easy to replace them right now if I had to. Even though I'm a huge Zelda fan, I don't care much for this LA remake because I think the toy-like art style looks awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember them ever doing a Direct for anything this close to E3. Right before E3 2017 there was a Pokemon Direct so it's not like this is unprecedented.

I paid 65.00 for a mint RD, which wasn't bad. That's a good reason to remake them I suppose. And I loved the original Link's Awakening so it's more like I have to give this one a shot. I would prefer Oracle of Seasons or Ages, but that won't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zapp Branniglenn Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I don't think Super Mario Maker 2 will be absent from E3, it just won't have a proper trailer in the Direct itself. It still is a very demo-able game, and Treehouse probably will stream their own creations. Last year they gave us like twenty cumulative hours of streaming content. And while a lot of it was Smash Bros, that was still a lot of games that got some screen time. If anything the filler game of choice might be Mario Maker 2.

Like pretty much a port with updated graphics, or are they modifying some things because of engine updates? I for one, liked the pictures you got unlocked with Marin, they were cute! Well, some of them anyway. I don't really watch videos so I don't know much right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A baby-looking toy style doesn't fit a Zelda game at all to me. I'd feel like I'm playing a dumb baby/toddler game.

Yexin Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) i'd like to see some more FFVII Remake, mostly Tifa, hoping that they didn't reduce her breasts: since Aerith is absolutely gorgeous, though, i'm 100% sure Tifa'll look amazing too anyway also, i'd love to see a Switch port for NieR Automata, this could make me buy that game a second time (2B IN SMASH PLEASE) from Nintendo, there's nothing particular i want yeah, they can show Astral Chain, FE TH, Link's Awakening, Pokemon (doubt it, since Pokemon is like a spoiled child who wants his own directs) and more, but i just want Nintendo's direct to be good and surprising Edited May 14, 2019 by Yexin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodHoms Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 My predictions(mostly from Nintendo) Luigi's Mansion 3 news. New Donkey Kong Country game. Pokemon Sword and Shield teases. Fire Emblem: Three Houses stuff. Proper Animal Crossing reveal. New game from Monolithsoft. New Bayonetta 3 teaser. Persona ports. New look at Astral Chain. Link's Awakening trailer. Brand new third party exclusive. Every new indie game under the sun. These are just my safe bets, not really any hopes or dream games.

Anacybele Posted May 14, 2019 Author Share Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) Why am I the only person even mentioning Paper Mario?! I'm just really surprised because we haven't seen a new Paper Mario since Color Splash on the Wii U and that was well before the Switch released. It's really time to announce a new Paper Mario! Sure, Sticker Star was garbage (at least according to just about everyone I know that's played it, I never played it), but Color Splash was great. I want to see a new game on the Switch that's as good as if not better than Color Splash, though I'd like a story more like Super Paper Mario if Miyamoto would just get off his damn high horse about this. The story telling was part of what made Paper Mario great. Mario never needed a story to succeed, but it sure as hell never hurt it! Come on man.

Roland Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Another thing I'm looking forward to: Cyberpunk 2077. I wasn't aware of this title until recently, but after seeing some gameplay footage, I'm hooked. I'm a sucker for futuristic cyberpunk type of works, and this looks really interesting.

People said similar stuff when Wind Waker was announced. :P Also, this is the same game that has Goombas, Chain Chomps and Kirby among goofy pictures of chibi Link. This wasn't exactly a game with a traditional Zelda style, and that was before WW was a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never once disliked it. And just to point out, I was around 13 or 14 the first time I ever saw TWW. Yet imo, even Mario doesn't look this kiddy and babyish.

I'd hope something like the Photo Shop returns, even though we already have screenshots with the Switch. Something has to fill in that otherwise empty space, and I expect something new will, but what I do not know.

I'd rather they used ALBW's aesthetics, but I'd take any form of OoX remakes. Ideally they could give us a brand new Oracle of Courage to boot. Zelda isn't all about the big titles- the OoTs, WWs, TPs, SS, and BotWs. The petite Zeldas might not get the same resources, but they've still got love in them. Nintendo can certainly crank out one or two of these miniblins to every hulking hinox. And I want a very modern Adventure of Link sequel. I have no real expectations, only light hopes at most.

Etrurian emperor Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 What I want? A new Kid Icarus, Rex for Smash, a ''Majora'' type of sequel for BOTW, Some Skull and Bones news and a Geneology remake. What I expect? That what I want won't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
