Tizers for the presentation Nintendo on E3 were modest, so no one expected revelations from it. Moreover, the loud news about the release of the new "Pokemon" Let’s Go, Pikachu! And Let’s Go, Eeevee! The company already managed to please two weeks ago.
However, the hope that a couple of trump cards in the sleeve she hid, nevertheless was warm: the exit of both parts Bayonetta Nintendo Switch hinted that the third was not far off, and the fourth Metroid Prime , announced exactly a year ago, it was time to show the people. However, the miracle did not happen: at the presentation, Nintendo honestly showed a number of upcoming projects, but only fans managed to impress Fire Emblem And the genre "Furs".
Daemon X Machina, Fire Emblem Three Houses
With the beginning of the presentation on the screen in the flash of lasers and explosions, giant human -like robots from action broke out Daemon X Machina. They look stylish – and it is not surprising, because the designer of the technique is the creator of Macross and Escaflon Shoji Kavamori.
Although the name of the producer of the game is even more curious: they are Kenitiro Tsuda, who worked on a series of hardcore furs Armored Core From the notorious Fromsoftware. And this means that in addition to dynamic fights with a third -person view, we will also find the customs of robots, different types of armor, engines and weapons – in general, everything that fans of the genre need. The main thing is that the technical performance does not disappoint: dashing flights and shootings in the video are quite epic, but as not a particularly powerful Switch will cope with such a video?
The lack of an interface hints that we have not a gameplay in front of us, but a video shot for presentation
Step -by -step tactical role -playing Fire Emblem Three Houses looks almost finished. In the trailer you can see pretty animated screensavers and fights, even spy a little behind the pumping and equipment of the characters. Thinking before the course or increasing the skill here will clearly have to be no less than in the last games of the series.
It is not entirely clear how the control of the army will be implemented. But the scale of the battles will the participation of dozens of fighters will definitely add
Or maybe more: now the heroes go into battle not alone, but accompanied by a detachment who will also have to manage. Let's hope that the game will touch the strings not only of reason, but also the heart. And, like her predecessors, it will be remembered, in addition to a complex gameplay, a dramatic plot and bright characters.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 In the fall, it will get an addition Torna: The Golden Country. It will talk about the cataclysm, which happened five hundred years before the events of the main game, and about the heroes trying to prevent it. Among them there are familiar faces, and DLC itself promises to become so large that it will be sold on separate cartridges. Infrequently today you will see such a scope.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is a classic Japanese role -playing game with naive heroes, half -naked heroines and villains who are actually not so bad. With the latter an addition will allow you to get to know each other better
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Super Mario Party
The story about Super Smash Bros. Ultimate took more than half of the presentation. Masakhiro Sakurai spoke of every fighter and hundreds of innovations with a special, one might say, love. Here you can’t call the new Ultimate chips with revolutionary. Yes, in this fighting, there will be a huge selection of fighters from the Nintendo games and its partners – more than in any of the past parts. They will correct the balance to many, some, like Linka, will be given a dressing dress from a fresh game, someone will also allow someone to choose a character’s floor, like a coach of Pokemon or … Pikachu. And you knew that the Pikachu, whose tail ends with a heart – girls?
Super Smash Bros announcement. Ultimate would have come out more vigorously, do not mention it such incredibly important innovations. Thank you for all hundreds of improvements in details have not been painted!
Arena from the old game for Gamecube is recognized at first sight. But how she was prettier!
Naturally, the Nintendo Switch graphics will be much better than on Wii U, 3DS and old generations of consoles. Yes, and the playing itself will probably be wonderful and will drag out both lovers of family entertainment and parties, and nostalging gamers. But his presentation does not cause any particular delight – this is the fate of the genre, where the new part usually differs from the old only a couple of new faces, the arenas and a little tightened graphics.
Party games are rarely taken seriously. But in a good company, they really have fun in them
The same emotions evokes and Super Mario Party For Nintendo Switch. A selection of colorful mini-games for gatherings and parties will find its audience, especially since to milk cows and cross the swords in the 1-2-Switch to the public probably already fed up. But the times when waving the controller in front of the console could go for innovation have long passed.
Starlink Ubisoft will come out on Switch. You can fly on a starship while you drive on the bus
Nintendo's tongue twister also went along a pile of ports and cross -platform projects. Here is casual Overcooked 2, And gloomy Hollow Knight , And the ubiquitous Fortnite , and digital version of the board game "Carcasson" , https://bets-io-casino.co.uk/ and the mass of other famous and not very games. Again nothing supernatural – but Nintendo clearly makes it clear that the console will not repeat the fate of its predecessor and the Switch library will regularly replenish. This really makes the console-transformer more and more attractive-especially for those who, for lack of free time, manage to play only in fits.
Square Enix, PC Gaming Show, Devolver Digital
Babylon’s Fall
Three more conferences were similarly held – the maximum of trailers, a minimum of details.
In the case of CO Square Enix The resemblance to Nintendo was also intensified by the general orientation to the Japanese market. It was from the shaft of trailers (partly shown at other presentations) of the new JRPG and was most of the event. Along the way, the publisher demonstrated a little Shadow of the Tomb Raider And Just Cause 4 , that, however, is unlikely to draw to a revelation-it was not possible to find out anything really new about games from the videos.
The Quiet Man
But there were two intriguing announcements at once: Platinum Games introduced the new one Babylon’s Fall , A Human Head showed the video potentially interesting The Quiet Man. Only again without details. And on this what you can tell, it ends, which is very strange, given the presence of Square Enix such franchises as, for example, Deus Ex , Final Fantasy, "Avengers" And "Guardians of the Galaxy". Apparently, surprises will have to wait another year.
Yakuza 0
PC Gaming Show was also remembered by several ritual bows towards the Japanese market. Completely unexpectedly the news thundered that several parts will come out on the PC Yakuza ( 0 And Kiwami ), both first Shenmue and a number of other projects, like Valkyria Chronicles 4. And this announcement is a real surprise, which was not enough throughout E3.
Overkill’s The Walking Dead
And also this show was unjustified, and sometimes unbearably long. The presenters with a smile on their faces represented more and more projects, only there were almost no entertaining among them, and by the end it was already difficult to resist the end. Nevertheless, a couple of times to surprise the conferences still managed.
It was nice to see the debut gameplay Overkill’s The Walking Dead. In short, while the game is very similar to such desired Left 4 Dead 3. I would like to believe that it will be about the same order with quality. Another bright episode of the event is a new, spectacular trailer Hitman 2 , where the 47th to the music masterfully dealt with enemies.
Night Call
But the rest of the time the endless parade of various indie games continued, most of which instantly flew out of memory. There were, of course, stylish specimens, like Night Call or Sable , But for the most part, the audience was amused by “royal battles” and something strange, like a shark simulator Maneater. The latter, by the way, is described by the developers as “a role -playing game in the open world and with a rolling tree”. And listening to all this was sometimes really funny. At least so.
My Friend Pedro
After last year's trash, wait for a new “conference” from Devolver It was doubly interesting: whether they would show something or will the fool will fall again? Fortunately, madness won. Again. For the second year, a fierce game was going on on the stage for the second year in a row: the charismatic host in all ways ridiculed the current trends of the industry, announced the “Lutbok” (yeah, two in one: both Lutboxes and Bitcoins), and at the end of the presentation it was completely shot from a machine gun. Only three games showed, and I remembered at all alone: My Friend Pedro -a hilarious Sidskrol-Shuther, in which the main character in Slo-Mo makes dance pirouettes, simultaneously in the most ridiculous way, shooting everyone around.
But what to tell there, this must be seen by ourselves!
