Assassin's Creed Syndicate -- looking beautiful with a cane and a tophat (reminds you of anyone? It better.) Taking place in Victorian England, I'm told, let's hope this AC does a lot better than the previous one.
kytsune
"Who the hell are you?" Apparently, he's a lover of orphans -- since it seems like slave labor is the call of the day there.
Mary Lindley
I haven't gotten around to playing any of the ACs yet, but I'm a sucker for tophats and the Victorian Era, so maybe I should start, lol I think my siblings own just about all of them, so it wouldn't be too hard.
kytsune
@DarkSoulSeraph My tophat salutes you, Seraph. Perhaps we could get a chance to put this game in the hands of one of the MMO Anthro fans and we could play it on a stream.
Mary Lindley
Ooh, that would be shiny ^_^
Jon Wilson
The game looks good, but im not convinced after Unity, and i got that game for free.
kytsune
@pinionblue The community temperature has cooled a bit ... because of Unity.
kytsune
PlayStation partnership with Activision announced: World wide exclusive E3 reveal of Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 -- presented by Mark Lamia from Treyarch.
kytsune
"It's fast, visceral and feels unlike any Call of Duty before." - David Vaunderhaar... Is it me or have we hard that said before?
Mary Lindley
Cause the world totes needs more COD. I think I might need medical attention from all the eyerolling that will ensue when people refuse to talk about anything else, lol
kytsune
@DarkSoulSeraph Call of Duty is a strong moneymaker but it seems like as each new iteration sells, the players are slowly spreading out.
kytsune
Looks like we have a release date at November 5, 2015. Right in time for the holidays.
Mary Lindley
Fingers crossed that people will get tired of them soon. Or at least that they would make it interesting.
kytsune
First up at the Bethesda E3 press conference is Doom! Good ole Id Software -- Id Tech 6 Engine (or "666") is the new DOOM.
Eric David
Ooh, double jump.
kytsune
Looks like Id Software is taking "demon realism" to the next level with the Id Tech 666 Engine if this demo is any indication.
Eric David
Looks like it's keeping the old school health pickups and no regenerating health.
Eric David
Radial weapon select = designed for controller
kytsune
@LiteralEric Yes, I'm seeing those floating around in the HUD, I like how they've got apparent UI "tags" on them.
kytsune
Aw yeah, welcome to DOOM people -- where sometimes you just have to punch a demon's head clear off.
Eric David
Picked up the red key,
kytsune
@LiteralEric I see that the classics have not left us. I'm looking at chainsaw maniac time.
Eric David
I'm suddenly craving fruit punch for some reason.
Eric David
Looks like high-speed arena combat is going to be big next year with games like this and Overwatch.
kytsune
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided brings Adam Jensen back, but the world has changed -- augmented people, cyborgs, are now segregated in a "mechanical apartheid." Jensen has left Serif industries and has become an investigator.
kytsune
Mankind Divided expands on Human Revolution by adding new and different augmented technologies to Jensen's arsenal. The game also has a dynamic narrative where player-actions ultimately determine the end of the game and the story.
Eric David
Human Revolution was great. I'm really excited for this game.
kytsune
@LiteralEric I loved it, although once again it's ending disappointed me a little with the three-endings, you choose approach. However, I was very impressed and overjoyed.
Mary Lindley
Also, hold onto your hats. Illuminati confirmed :P
kytsune
Colin Johanson, Game Director #ArenaNet, is on #pcgamingshow to talk about Guild Halls in #GW2. He says that they want to have this social element have a real impact on the social gameplay in this MMO game.
kytsune
Looks like some Heart of Thorns elements -- namely guilders -- we be useful in Guild Halls, looking at the world exclusive footage. #GW2
kytsune
#GuildWars2 Guilds will be able to customize and decorate their Guild Hall - a la what home instances seemed to need - and there will be PvP arenas available for guilds as well. And dungeon instance entrances?
kytsune
"Guild Halls are a lot more than a hall, they are an entire map that your guild gets to own." The hall will be controlled originally by Mordremoth (the Jungle Dragon) and guilds will need to attack the hall and take it over then own it.
kytsune
World vs. World will get guild involvement through the Guild Hall "War Room," which will allow the production of assets -- such as bombardment blimps -- that can be used to assist in holding and attacking structures.
kytsune
Pre-purchase of #GW2 Heart of Thorns has started right now! http://buy.guildwars...
Eric David
Star Wars Battlefront and Fallout 4 will be coming out at roughly the same time. Yikes.
kytsune
Going to have trouble choosing which one to play when?
Mary Lindley
@kytsune As much as I'm liking Battlefront, I'm even more excited for Fallout. If I had to choose between the two, that's definitely the one I'd go with.
kytsune
@DarkSoulSeraph That's a good reason to pick one over the other. Fallout certain has a more visceral do-it-now and Battlefront may be one for people who wanna shoot their friends.
Mary Lindley
@kytsune It's unfortunate that I missed them talking about Fallout 4 though. I'm gonna have to go find somewhere to watch that bit.
kytsune
The Studio Head of Rare Studios, Craig Duncan, stepped onto the stage at the Xbox E3 press conf to announce the Rare Collection - a full collection of iconic Rare games -- and now Battletoads?
Eric David
My real question: will it include an uncensored version of Conker, or will it be the watered-down remake version?
kytsune
Xbox one exclusive but it doesn't look like Battletoads. Maybe I'm just fixated.
William McCormick
You know they are going to hold Battletoads until the very end.
kytsune
Pirates! I see pirates in a Rare game!
kytsune
Fallout 4 is launching November 10, 2015. Mark. Your. Calendars. #BE3
Dracul Draconicus
Hell yeah! can't wait! going to roam the wastes in a sunhat and some sexy lingerie!
Dracul Draconicus
Now little minis? awwwwwwwww!!!!! <3

@DraculDragon Let's do that together~
kytsune
Just announced: Bethesda releasing The Sims: The Vault Edition. (No, I'm kidding...) but this vault game looks a lot like XCom base, but more whimsical. #E3
kytsune
The name of the mobile game is "Fallout Shelter" and it's free, "no paywall timers" and "you don't need an Internet connection." #BE3
Eric David
Released tonight !?
kytsune
"The world premier of the latest footage from Kingdom Hearts 3." This is going to be a must-watch.
kytsune
As with any Kingdom Hearts game, colorful, Disney characters abound, the shadow hearts are present, and the music is suitably epic.
kytsune
And the end of the trailer states "Kingdom Hearts 3 Now In Development" but we are not getting a release date today.
Eric David
This game has been in development too long. Really need to release it already.
Eric David
My real question is if we will see any Marvel or Lucasfilm characters.
