Two editions. Storage and Digital Edition.

"Launching later this year"

No price.

GTAV Online free with every console.

[Dukefrukem]

Overall; I'm a bit disappointed. No price but based on the two models shown, I'm guessing one will be $399 and one will be $499.

Was really hoping for a Rocksteady Batman game and Silent Hills. That would be enough to get me excited.

But RE8 will be on PC for me.

called Deathloop

This was actually announced before at E3 last year:

The gameplay reveal did look a lot like Dishonored, though; it actually threw me for a, dare I say, loop.
And it was weird seeing this in the same stream as the new Housemarque game, Returnal.
And then thinking about another recent game, Outer Wilds.

Time loops are the new fashion trend.

edit - there was another indie game, too, recently where you die over and over and use your previous lives to help get through levels, but I can't remember the name now

So is RE8 the game we thought could maybe possibly perhaps be Dead Space?

RE8 seems to have a supernatural slant which is what the writer hinted at. And it features a protagonist, Ethan Winter, who's going to have a real bad day. Beyond that, not sure.

[Morris Schæffer]

OH SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIT. What a fake out.

Yeah, but more than a month ago Village was teased as the title of the next Resi Evil game. I posted it here as well, but if ya didn't know, then it's a legitimate 'WHOA' moment.

Edit: saw it a second time, this looks really great. Not sure why Chris needs to be in it. These games can exist without such links, but I guess we'll see.

Also, shotgun blast point blank range did no damage. Looks like the main character can become a monster, solidifying idea this is the game from the dead Space writer.

Because he showed up at the end of 7.

Havent played 7 yet. But I will. Nonetheless, part 7 also seemed like an entry distanced from previous lore so I assume his appearance in 7 made narrative sense.

The last of us 2 is brilliant. Reviews dont lie

Sorry didn't mean to spoil. I rather enjoy Capcom's singers at the end of their reveal trailer. This is the second time they've done it and both were effective. Audience reaction here was essentially me in my living room watching the show yesterday.

[Morris Schæffer]

No worries.

Braid?

Nah it's Hotline Miami

Playstation > Xbox

[megladon8]

Halo: Infinite needs to be some insanely incredible stuff to get me to even consider a Next box.

[Stay Puft]

Braid?

I was thinking of Life Goes On. I forgot you could do that in Braid, too, but I wasn't thinking of stuff like Braid (or Super Time Force, that's another one I just remembered) since those have time (or rewind) as game mechanics, as opposed to the "time loop" concept the aforementioned titles are all based around (you don't manipulate time as a game mechanic in any of them).

They just wanted to go for a walk.

[Dukefrukem]

Ugh.

Reports Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment is being shopped around and the only publishers that can afford it are Take-Two Interactive, Electronic Arts, and Activision Blizzard.

I guess Take-Two is the worst of the three, but I hate the idea of the Arkham games being owned by EA.

But then again, maybe the sale of Monolith Studios would render a Condemned 2 PC release.

I just remembered another one!

12 Minutes (it's scheduled for 2020 but no specific date yet)

I hate the idea of anything non-sports being owned by EA (because then it might affect me).

EA's Batman: Arkham World will have the main storyline on disc with only one villain (and every disc that ships has a different villain included). You can only unlock the side quests and other villain chapters by either playing for 900 hours, or spending an additional $39.99 per villain and side quest.

All of Batman's gadgets are found through randomized loot crates.

And none of these things are available unless you sign up for Origin.

That's a given. EA just put all of their titles on Steam over the last 2 weeks and Origin is still required to play them.

It is nice being able to finally play Crysis 3.

Also there was a 4K remaster of Command & Conquer Red Alert that I didn't know I needed.

And Mass Effect 3 I can finally get on steam to complete the trilogy. Maybe a PC playthrough is needed.

BINGO

[Ezee E]

I could barely navigate through the Battlefront 2 windows because there were so many things like that. I deleted the game pretty quickly since i got it for free.

[megladon8]

Crisis 2 was freaking awesome stuff. Half Life 2 level of masterful.
