E3 2018 thread of announcements and reactions
Reddyne:
Death Stranding had a great trailer and so did Ghosts of Tsushima. DS definitely has a lot of good Kojima vibes. Also your feet might look like that after a marathon I'm warning you now o sweet childe.

Much of the PSX/N64 era games haven't aged well, mostly due to the graphics. And voice acting. And new control schemes in 3D worlds. And lack of memory. And other assorted oddities associated with the era. Resident Evil got hit by all of them. Overhauling and modernizing all of RE2, potentially with some of the spirit of RE7, could make some real waves.
For all the hype around Smash, it was far and away the focus of Nintendo's presentation. I'm on the fence about picking it up, so I might be stuck with Octodad Atelier and some assorted odds and ends until Fire Emblem several months from now. Things look a bit sparse for anyone not fully hyped about it.

Nintendo presentation was pretty disappointing. Or maybe "disappointing" isn't right, just not exciting. I was really hoping for a huge new announcement and some more information on Fire Emblem Switch.
That said, I'm not a Smash Bros fan at all, but it's hard not to be a little excited looking at that cast list.

Even as a Smash fan, as my excitement winds down, I gotta admit that I still have *very* little else I'd want to play on the Switch, which presents the same problem it had before. The Wii U had Mario Kart and Smash and I didn't bite then. This has the same issue. Still, a far more solid pitch than I've gotten from other consoles this E3.

I love that they brought back David Hayter for Snake

This is pretty amazing for a platform brawler. I'm hyped for this Smash Bros Ultimate anyways and all those changes are really great because you can see how Sakurai has listened to the fans and some of the issues they had with Smash 4.
I will admit, this game does feel like a "SUPER" Super Smash Bros 4 (Arcade Edition ver. 2018). But maybe that's why it's called Super Smash Bros Ultimate. But I mean, I wasn't expecting much more considering the amount of time between the end of the development cycle from last DLC character release in Smash 4 to the initial announcement of this game.
The only thing I'm disappointed about is Waluigi still being an assist trophy :( But I wasn't TOO disappointed as I was kind of expecting it anyways.
