By Anonymous on Jun 10, 2019 11:40 pm Shenmue 3 gets another gameplay trailer, this time full of punching and kicking as our hero takes on a band on drunken thugs.
It wouldn't be E3 if a number of surprises didn't leak in advance, but even so, this year has been particularly leaky. Nearly all of this weekend's biggest announcements were spoiled early, from Ninja Theory's new game, Bleeding Edge, to Elden Ring, From Software's rumored collaboration with Game of Thrones author George RR Martin. Nintendo's own E3 press conference is still to come, and it appears the company is taking measures to ensure no secrets spill out ahead of time, as it has reportedly threatened legal action against a well-known leaker.
Twitter user Sabi, who has accurately leaked details from Microsoft and Bethesda's press conferences before each one aired (including Keanu Reeves' appearance in Cyberpunk 2077 and Xbox Scarlett's technical specifications), revealed they had received a cease and desist letter from a lawyer representing Nintendo (via Eurogamer). Sabi has since said they will not leak anything from the Nintendo Direct, although they assert they'll continue leaking non-Nintendo secrets.
I have been given a cease and desist from a lawyer representing Nintendo. They have my full name and everything. This means I'm not allowed to post any private trade secrets from Nintendo co ltd. This does not mean I cannot post things from other companies, but not Nintendo.
Nintendo's E3 Direct is scheduled for Tuesday, June 11, at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET / 5 PM BST. The company recently confirmed the broadcast's runtime--roughly 40 minutes. We also know Nintendo will reveal the next Super Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC character during the Direct; game director Masahiro Sakurai confirmed as much in a video message following Nintendo's Smash Ultimate World Championship on June 8.
Beyond that, however, Nintendo hasn't said much about this year's Direct. The company teased the broadcast will focus on Nintendo Switch games coming in 2019, and it confirmed Luigi's Mansion 3, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order, and The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening will all be playable on the E3 show floor, so they'll all presumably get some time in the spotlight during the Direct.
By Anonymous on Jun 10, 2019 11:36 pm Vermintide 2 is getting a 4v4 Versus mode where one team gets to play as the special Skaven and Rotblood enemy types, working together to defeat the Ubersreik 5.
At the E3 2019 PC Gaming Show, Shenmue producer Yu Suzuki appeared on stage to debut a new trailer for Shenmue 3. Though the game was recently delayed, Suzuki reiterated that the work is almost finished.
In a Kickstarter update, Ys Net also revealed that the game will be an Epic Store exclusive. "In looking for the most enjoyable experience on PC, it was decided together with Deep Silver after much discussion that the Epic Games Store would be the best distribution platform option," the note reads.
If you have yet to catch up with Shenmue series, you can through Xbox Game Pass. The service recently announced a new set of Game Pass titles and both Shenmue and Shenmue 2 were among them. Both of them are currently available, giving you plenty of time before Shenmue 3's new November 19 release date.
By Anonymous on Jun 10, 2019 11:24 pm Another Early Access survival game, you say? Yes, and this one has incredible spider-machines made of wood that gracefully crawl across the environment so we're inclined to give it a chance.
Chivalry 2 is a full sequel to 2012's Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, and is again being developed by Torn Banner Studios in collaboration with Tripwire.
The devs compared Chivalry 2's battles to the one found in Game of Thrones' seminal Battle of the Bastards, so expect piles of dead bodies. The trailer certainly showcases this with 64-players hacking at each other on a chaotic battlefield--the first game only supported 24-players. You can ride horses now, too, and the combat system has been completely reworked to add more variety and ideally fix some of the cheap exploits players have taken advantage of in Medieval Warfare.
Chivalry 2 is coming in early 2020, and will be available first on the Epic Games Store.
It was exciting stuff, but you might still be wondering where all the new gameplay footage was.
During E3 2019, gameplay footage is only being shown to the press behind closed doors and to the public on the show floor. It's understandable if CD Projekt Red doesn't want to dilute Cyberpunk 2077's impact by revealing too much, given that it previously showed a trailer at E3 2018 and then a hefty 48-minute chunk of gameplay the following August. Miles Tost, one of the game's level designers, also noted how iterative the game development process is, and how this causes things to change all the time. Tost says, "What we have now might not be there tomorrow. We've had ideas that have died over the years then they've been resurrected then they've died again and now they're back." As a result, CD Projekt Red would prefer to show the game only when they have something refined, polished, and presumably set in stone.
However, if you're one of the many millions of people who can't make it to E3, have no fear. Reddit users have done some digging and unearthed a secret message hidden within CD Projekt Red's unboxing video for the collector's edition of Cyberpunk 2077. The message reads: "For now, the demo is only available to the lucky ones who managed to get tickets to E3 and the rest of you will have to wait until Gamescom or the public dev Q&A unveiling stream at PAX in August."
The message continues, "Yeah, we can already feel the bashing you're gonna give us online. 'Why is the gameplay not being released right away?' The reason is we want to make the most out of the months of work we put into the demo and first showcase gameplay live at E3 and Gamescom. Releasing gameplay right away would make the Gamescom presentations pointless and would significantly limit our chance to build hype. Why do we need to build hype? To get more gamers interested in Cyberpunk 2077 and, hopefully, convince them to give it a go. We are putting our hearts and souls into making Cyberpunk 2077 a great game and we would like as many gamers as possible to find out about it and experience its amazing story."
Keanu Reeves probably built up more than enough hype, but you can see where they're coming from. Now the wait till August begins.
