It's going to be a lot longer than 2-3 years for fallout 5. They aren't going to do a new fallout game until after Starfield and Elder Scrolls 6 and it's likely still going to be 2-3 years at least until both of those are finally out... We probably won't see a fallout 5 until 2025 or so at the earliest if I had to guess.

Because it doesn't really look all that great and there is virtually no gameplay shown. Square made a mistake opening with FF7 and ending with avengers.... Should have been the other way around.

The E3 the year before a new console generation starts is always kinda dull... All the games left being made for current consoles have already been announced and the console manufacturers don't want people showing off the next gen games in development yet. Next year's E3 should be fun... Should get our first glimpses of the first wave of next gen games and console details (release dates, pricing, etc...)

Honestly I think this is a test to see what the demand for the game is, I think if sales of the remaster show a high demand for 8 then there is a very good chance they do a true remake like they are with 7...square has already come out and said they are open to remaking more games and judging from the pop from the crowd at E3 as soon as you heard "Fithos" I'd say demand is high enough. Personally I will be absolutely thrilled beyond words if they do a full remake of 8... It's always been my favorite final fantasy game.

Okay final fantasy 7 remake looks incredible, so glad they didn't just do a straight up ff15 style battle system.

Square won E3 as soon as they showed the final fantasy 7 stuff

The final fantasy 7 remake release date was already announced, March 3 2020.

Literally everything they highlighted was announced months ago... Some over a year ago. Even the stuff they said about the console was almost word for word the info Sony confirmed for the PS5... It was underwhelming because there was nothing new.

Which is exactly why Sony decided not to even bother this year... We're in a transitional period with games being developed for the new consoles but not ready to be shown yet and the games still coming on current consoles already having been shown... No one really has anything new to show right now.

Agreed, the conference was definitely underwhelming.

Baldur's gate 3 has already been confirmed that it will be on steam as well so not a stadia exclusive

Figured it would be a good idea to get a general E3 thread up before the conferences tomorrow since I'm sure we'll have plenty to talk about and having individual threads for every announcement can get cluttered. So far the EA play event sucked, really underwhelming. Tomorrow should be fun if the rumors about Microsoft showing the next gen Xbox are true, newv hardware announcements are always fun. Really does suck that Sony skipped this year though... They were typically the conference I would look forward to the most.

Personally I'm not really liking the x factor stuff... Just makes the game seem too much like an arcade style game to me instead of a sports sim.

Oh maybe

The X means that the player is in the zone and their X factor ability is active.
