Support NeoGAF

[shaddam]

This was so painful

 

[Sacred]

That was the worst conference ever..

 

[CGiRanger]

That was the worst presentation I've seen in a while (I Missed Ubisofts). Absolutely nothing there looked compelling enough for me to buy whatsoever.

Even the two Japanese-created games, Babylon and "CHAOS!!!!" just felt so wrong. Maybe it was the awful English voice acting in both, but even the visuals just looked so very rough, and the visual designs and aesthetics just seemed like they were bland and dull.

Both games (Babylon and CHAOS!!!) felt like they were being forcefully tailored to Western audiences.

I won't even get into the LiS absurdity and the main character from Tumblr

 

[martino]

so nothing from square to announce for switch (maybe reserved for nintendo direct)

 

[Alkemyst]

God that was awful

 

[jshackles]

This thread was more fun than any game they showed today, guaranteed.

 

[Bkdk]

WTF did I just watch? Last year was at the peak of pandemic yet many game studios still managed to bring better stuff to show than most of the developers this year.

 

[Kenpachii]

Hey guys, we did dog shit the conference.

Presentators: OMG I LOVE IT

 

[jdforge]

What a terrible conference. How the mighty have fallen. Minus infinity.

 

[Kadve]

Now is the question, do we think Capcom and Bamco are going to be better? or is this the standard the third party Japanese developers are going to set for this E3?.

 

[eddie4]

don't worry PC master race show is coming up soon. lol

 

[Punished Miku]

Nintendo please save E3. Again.

As was foretold.

 

[dwish]

The voice acting / translated cheesy dialog ruins so much of what could otherwise be pretty cool games. Mainly thinking about that Team Ninja / FF game

 

[Aion002]

Sooo bad that not even Team Ninja was able to save... Square-Enix is dead.

 

[LordCBH]

At least it was better than the Ubitrash yesterday.

 

[Daymos]

Wow I think I need to starting drinking again..

Wish I hadn't watched any of these conferences and just played games instead.

Of all the ways to reimagine final fantasy 1, oh man that was so bad. It looked like a final fantasy 15 DLC pack.

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

.

 

[FingerBang]

Lol it wasn't THAT bad

 

[brian0057]

Holy shit!
That was bad.
Like, shockingly awful.

 

[Sacred]

Empathy, Chaos, Starlord

There is their conference in 3 words.

 

[balls of snow]

Elden Ring 1000 times over...whatever that chaos shit was.

 

[Secret_Lover]

Konami tier conference. Brutal.

 

[ANDS]

AVENGER's looked good (too bad it is a dead game in terms of MP) but the rest was. . .wow. Dunno if I missed it but I didn't see anything FF16 related. Babylon Fall looks fine (even with the live-service tag) and I'm all on usually on anything Platinum related.

Way too much GotG stuff and it looks like the character designs are suffering the same fate as AVENGER's had at their showing: trying too hard to come close but not too close to the MCU design.

. . .and what a game to close the presentation on. Good god.

 

[Null Persp]

Great conference, can't wait to play Stranger of Paradise on my PS3.

 

[SSfox]

Why the characters in FF origins have to look this shitty? it's like Nomura pooped those inbetween 2 sessions of work on FF7-2.

 

[Northeastmonk]

Yeah that whole Origins trailer was a bit much. Not what I expected. It looks cool, but man they should have reserved the whole aesthetic a bit.

 

[Camreezie]

Not horrid , 5/10

 

[Velcro Fly]

That was truly dreadful

Stringing out a half dozen Dragon Quest game announcements for 30 or 40 minutes of real time was a better show than this.

Just good grief I can't imagine how anyone thought that was a good idea.

 

[eastcoastkody]

Guardians might be good.
Life is Strange will hopefully be good.
Wakandas got spaceships and Black Panther looks good.

these r my take aways

 

[BigAssBoy]

worst of the bunch so far

 

[Pallas]

Chaos? Chaaaaaoooosssss .... *Sigh*

 

[Fbh]

Lol holy shit that was it?.

The only salvageable thing was the combat in that FF origins looked pretty decent. But the art direction, writing and voice acting were so fucking bad

 

[Danjin44]

 

[Quantum253]

Well if you were waiting for FF Origins then I suppose that's good news. Platinum as a service is a weird thing. They should have just done a Marvel's stream and soft announcements for the others

 

[scydrex]

What the hell? I give this a chaos/10. What a horrible conference. Square is winning the worst E3 this year by far.

 

[niilokin]

hard to imagine these guys own Deus Ex and Legacy of Kain

 

[GHG]

Well, that felt like getting a handjob from a cheese grater.

 

[Punished Miku]

Why the characters in FF origins have to look this shitty? it's like Nomura pooped those inbetween 2 sessions of work on FF7-2.

They literally should have just given Team Ninja money and stayed away.

 

[Myths]

Looks like they copied PROMPTO, the Captain in XV movie and idk about the other dude … made this a single-player tower dungeon something…. idk.

They literally should have just given Team Ninja money and stayed away.

Because it probably would’ve ended up as a GRIN situation. The writing wouldn’t have been similar enough to FF or some crap.

 

[Sephimoth]

How dare they waste 45 mins of my evening

 

[Portugeezer]

FF16 maybe at PlayStation conference... oh wait...

 

[LavitzSlambert]

Lol holy shit that was it?.

Seriously. For a second I was question whether that was a FFXV spinoff. They could have something if they would stop mixing their shitty modern designs with the FF universe.

 

[Fake]

5/10 too much chaos.

 

[Julius Ibidus]

well, seems like opinion of this Showcase is pretty consistent, heh...

 

[Mr Hyde]

Very disappointed with Final Fantasy Origins. Concept sounded awesome but it looked like hot garbage. PS360 graphics and lame DMC- style of gameplay. Fuck this shit.

 

[Mr Moose]

Average at best.

What was that Origins or whatever? Looked like a late gen PS3/early PS4 game.

 

[Zatzuken]

I couldn't be more dissapointed, origins looked like a bargain bin ps2 game and the FF 1-6 collection is only coming to the two platforms that can play those games all ready.

Terrible

The Square Enix US Twitter account went protected.
Even they know it was shit.

I'm looking for Chaos, Chaos you say, yes Chaos. We must stop Chaos from taking the world. I'm Choas. You'll never win Chaos.

 

[GHG]

It's a very strange feeling when everything else looks like shit compared to Microsoft's conference.
