wtf is 'Gaming Lifestyle' supposed to mean?

eSports, THOTs, screechers, DSP, and every other goblin who makes a living by sitting in front of a green screen and recording themselves all day talking to names on a screen and playing vidya.

Bumping because I can.

Looks like the Ubisoft conference is going to be the Tom Clancy Conference.

Ubisoft's E3 2019 schedule features a lot of Tom Clancy

Ubisoft lock 'n' load

Ubisoft has dropped a short trailer revealing the games that will be in attendance at E3 2019, which takes place in Los Angeles in just a couple of weeks time. As you can see from the video below, if you like teams of people annihilating each other, Ubi has got your back.

Tom Clancy's The Division 2, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Breakpoint, For Honor and the ever-faithful Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege will all be in attendance, with the publisher discussing game updates and future content, as well as a "celebrity showdown" and, according to Ubisoft President and CEO Yves Guillemot: "one or two more things."


Of course, we will be covering all of the news at E3 2019, both on-site and here on Destructoid.com, so stick around and maybe we'll all find out all of the hottest news out of Ubisoft, like why they re-drew Hibana's Siege portrait out of nowhere.

E3 2019 takes place at the Los Angeles Convention Center between June 11-14.

It'd be interesting (read: disappointing) if they have an E3 and not update us on Beyond Good and Evil 2. Also expecting some Assassin's Creed news as well.

Fuck that open world, online only bastardization of BYGAE, give me Splinter Cell 7 with Ironside again.

I'm suddenly reminded of that Sonic celebration event that was sponsored by Tostinos. The poor floor correspondent had to eat the food and looked like he wanted to die.

Gibs me dats new Smash Ultimate character reveal so I can have another victim to shoryuken to death.

Those stuffed nacho things? They're not so bad. They go great with a nice side of self-loathing and a big tall glass of apathy. Or Mountain Dew. It's the same thing anyway.

Dude, Boogie just gained like 25 lbs reading that.

Any days that I'm off I'll watch that days conferences otherwise I'll probably just get some highlights, all of them are generally bad but a fun watch still.

This is way too idealistic but I'm hoping for a new Armored Core game or at the very least some sort of HD collection to gauge the possibility. They put out a large collection of the games OSTs fairly recently so I know they are aware of a market. If anything From will just keep popping out Not-Dark Souls probably.

Anything that Capcom is going to be announcing will probably be it for what I'm looking forward too though.

There's that Vanillaware mech game that was revealed what feels like years ago now. I haven't heard anything since their on the game press persona non grata list and YouTubers don't care about that stuff.

But their streams make me cringe, nothing against them as a pub, but I’m not a big fan of anti-humor. However, Kitana Zero looks dank as shit

I don't mind the humour. It can be cringy, but I'll take non-conforming mockery over whitewashed human facsimile trying to make loot boxes sound appealing. Plus, it's not like the jokes are original anyway. We've all made them in some way or another.

I don't know how you guys n gals do it. I tried sitting through Jim's stream last year, and I still couldn't do it for more than a few half hour chunks. Watching the gaming industry jerk itself off while being nearly completely sucked dry of talent and creativity is just depressing.

"And this year, we're going to whore out to Chinese interests even harder!"

<cheers from inbreds>

"That's right, we're going to make sure our games are built from the ground up to be Chinese censorship approved! No more skulls, no more graphic imagery, no more treating you all like big boys and girls for what little we already did!"

<tantric chanting while said inbreds coat themselves in their own tardcum>

"AND LOOTBOXES! DELIBERATELY REMOVED CONTENT WE SELL BACK TO YOU LATER! MORE DANGERHAIR LESBIAN LEADS! TRANNY COOKING MAMA!"

<heads start exploding in pure ectsasy among the audience>

etc, etc..you get it.

Did you just leak the Devolver press conference?

If there's anything that sums up the rotting, stinking corpse that is E3 (and the gaming industry as a whole, honestly), it's this image.

I notice the IGDA section. I wonder what they'll be talking about.

I like how Xseed is right by the entrance. Walk in, wall of anime tits. Polygon won't be happy.

 

[Marissa Moira]

XSeed has no games, they're really kinda fucked after losing everything worthwhile to NISA.

 

[Takayuki Yagami]

Looking down the list of E3 entrants this year, I'm acutely aware of how many of them are persona-non-grata to the gaming public. I think Microsoft and Nintendo might be the only safe bets (again) this year. Devolver Digital I'm watching just for the lore at this point (the presenter lady from last year will probably come back as a cyborg.)

My main problem with E3 is that any game shown is almost inevitably two years from coming out (and rarely looks the way it did in the first reveal trailer.) Sony wins this category hands down as the company with the most games that get announced and then promptly forgotten for two or three years before springing back up again; Ubisoft and Squeenix are not far behind either. EA at least tries to show some restraint but the only thing I care about from their show is what new indie game they helped publish this year, as those are usually untainted by their necromancy.

The only point I really see in watching E3 live anymore is riffing on it with friends. All the trailers will be posted minutes after they air live and you can basically recap the whole event through memes, which is what I'll be watching this thread for.

We got DMC5 in less than a year. Can we get Vergil, please?

Polygon won't be happy.

Then again, when is Polygon ever happy? I mean, outside of when they're wafting in their own farts.

Apologies in advance for the double posting. I shall repent at the altar of Saint Kiwi later.

Xbox's Phil Spencer is claiming to be bringing 14 Xbox Game Studios games this year.

So from my count...

Pretty much locked in:
1) Halo Infinite
2) Gears of War 5
3) Forza: More Cars and stuff
4) Minecraft

Speculation
5) More Sea of Thieves...?
6) Crackdown 3... an actually good version?
7) State of Decay 3?

It's also worth noting that Microsoft has been buying up studios left and right in the last year. Along with Rare (which is Rare in name only these days), they also own Ninja Theory (Hellbalde), Compulsion Games (We Happy Few), Obsidian (Outer Worlds), and InXile (Wasteland). They also own a group called The Initiative, which hasn't released anything yet, but is being headed by Darrell Gallagher from Crystal Dynamics.

 

[Scarlett Johansson]

I'd love to see Rare Replay on the Switch. But Microsoft is full of assholes so I doubt it will happen unless by a miracle

WHO'S READY FOR SOME UBISOFT WANKERY?!

Watch_Dogs Legion has been leaked:

Watch Dogs Legion leaks ahead of E3

Oh Ubisoft

Ubisoft really can't catch a break when it comes to big E3 reveals. Much like how the last two Assassin's Creed games got leaked ahead of E3 in their respective years, the next entry in the Watch Dogs series has had the beans spilled. According to a report from Kotaku, Watch Dogs Legion will be present during Ubisoft's E3 presser next week. The initial leak came from an Amazon UK listing, but Kotaku's Jason Schreier confirmed that several sources from within the company have been passing that name around for months now.
As the title implies, Watch Dogs Legion will allow players to play as literally any NPC in the game. Taking a page out of the Fulton recovery system gimmick seen in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, it seems players will be able to recruit NPCs to their side and then control them at will. The official product description on Amazon reads:

Play as anyone, Every individual you meet in the open world, has a full set of animations, voice over, character traits and visuals that are generated & guided by gameplay systems.

Schreier corroborates the claim and says players will be able to see different things at various points throughout the game depending on who they are playing as. One of the reasons Watch Dogs Legion has taken so long to be revealed is because of how ambitious this system is, according to the report. I can see that, especially since this isn't some small scale project like Peace Walker was.
Well, it looks like we have one less mystery title to expect next week.

Let's toddle on over to Amazon UK where the listing is still up... well, what's this description?

Watch_Dogs Legion is set in a near-future, dystopian version of London. It's a post-Brexit world in which society, politics and technology have changed and altered London's fortunes. London is one of the most iconic cities in the world and has had a massive influence on all of Western Culture for centuries… London makes total sense for WD, as the city has one of the highest surveillce levels in the world making this the perfect playground.

OH GOOD.

Jason also was SUPER impressed for the mechanic of recruiting NPC's

"Ambitious and wild"
