Carrion Game-play: E3 2019

I have to thank our mutual friend, Autobot for this one. He is a weird horror game where we play as amorphous beast whose sole purpose is to devour living people and grow. I really like the art style and it’s surprisingly gory. It’s a simple premise that follows through and I can say I’d happily try it out. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Disgaea 4 Complete+ (Preview, PS4 and Switch)

As you all know i am a pretty big fan of NIS America and the  of Disgaea Series, and it all started with Disgaea 4. To see this complete edition. The game will come with a all the extra content and will have some as of yet unrevealed quality of life improvements, tho I assume they will be graphical and sound upgrades to what was originally a PS3 game.

The story is about an ex Tyrant and vampire, Lord Valvatorez, who has sworn to never again drink blood and has since fallen down the power scale of the Netherworld where he now trains Prinnies. This one will be worth playing I think, best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Wolfenstein: Youngblood E3 trailer

I was genuinely amazed how much I loved Wolfenstein: The new Order though I regret to say I haven’t gotten to catch up with the Old Blood or New Colossus. Young Blood looks like everything I loved about the first game with the awesome addition of Co-op, which means a blast for Savior and me. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Ghostwire Tokyo, Don’t Fear the Unknown, Attack It.

 

There isn’t much known about this new IP from Bethesda and while there isn’t much known about it, it doe’s seem rather interesting and oddly beautiful. The premise is simple. One day, people disappear, leaving nothing but their cloths behind. After this a mysterious and presumably evil force shows up. Your job is to fight that force, and discover the truth about what has happened.

It seems to be pretty action oriented to me but really it is far to soon to tell, tho it is thought to be a new horror game. This one is worth keeping an eye on. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

 

Doom Eternal Trailer E3 2019

I can’t say I feel the hype for E3 this year as I have before, but I can tell you I’m pumped as hell for Doom: Eternal after seeing the story trailer. I love that beside slaying the armies of hell, we’ll also be clashing against the might of heaven as well which opens a lot of new doors for the series. Doom: Eternal is definitely going on my pre-order list. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Final Fantasy 8 Remaster

 

This one came out of left field for me. With the original source code known to be lost and years upon years of waiting and SE basically just saying sorry guys, not happening, to finally see it getting some love is pretty cool. The only thing more amazing to me than it happening is that it doesn’t have a definitive release date, simply sometime in 2019.

This tho does make sense, if the tale of much of the code being lost it would be much harder to simply port over and remaster than any of the other games in the series. Will it be a good remaster, I don’t know. The fact however that PC already has FF8 but the remaster is coming to PS4,Xbox, Switch, and Steam makes me think they are doing some decent work on the title. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Marvel Avengers Reveal Trailer

 

I am just going to piss everyone off today. Seriously, what the hell is this? It is a story based game with only five characters, but they will be adding more for free with no loot boxes, which is usually code for get ready to buy a ton of cosmetics. They reveal an entire game with no real game play, and they all pretty much look like Avenger stunt doubles from an unreleased generic 90’s cartoon. I’m not saying the game won’t be good, nobody can say that, because they didn’t really show the damn game.

It could be interesting, but this E3 just made me stop looking forward to it. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Release Date and Trailer

 

Time to piss some of you off. I have been pretty up front about my love for Final Fantasy 7 and the series as a whole, and I have been pretty up front about my feelings about this game. Why A 2019 Final Fantasy 7 Remake Would Be Too Little Too Late For Me

This week we saw the battle system in action and found out this first release of the multiple game release for Final Fantasy 7 remake would simply be inside of Midgar. They have been pretty up front about this being expanded upon greatly, but honestly considering it will be a fully priced game and the fact that I have already played the whole story, and other games like Witcher 3 and Elder Scrolls Skyrim have been hundreds of hours at release, I see no reason for this game to be this way outside of Square Enix using it as a massive cash grab because they know fans, including myself, will buy it anyway.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think this will be a short game. It will be beautiful and surely 40-60 hours long, of that I have no doubt. But they are still splitting up a game that doesn’t need to be split up just to sell it multiple times.

The battle system also seems weird, like they are attempting to placate older fans with the ATB system while making it more appealing to newer fans with it being more action oriented, and in the end this won’t really make anyone truly happy. it will mostly be mashing buttons to charge up the gauge and use an item or an attack then to mash more buttons. The materia being shown in weapons is pretty cool, and I like that idea. But to say I have some issues and concerns, is putting it mildly. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

E3 2019 Jedi Fallen Order gameplay demo

 

E3 of 2019 has begun and EA set the stage. We got our first real gameplay demo of the upcoming Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order. If this was coming from any other publisher I’d be excited as hell. The game looks beautiful, the combat looks awesome and the force powers look fun but I’m weary as hell. I want this game to succeed. I want an epic Star Wars game; it’s been about a decade since the first Force Unleashed game and we are long overdue. At best I’m cautiously optimistic to say the least. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
