I honestly remember the broad strokes of it, but wouldn&#8217;t be able to get into the specifics of the game to save my life. And yet, Beyond Good and Evil 2 has me pumped.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m pumped even though the details are still pretty sparse. We know the world will be reflective of the original game. We know we won&#8217;t play as Jade this time, as the game is a prequel supposedly taking place a generation before Jade&#8217;s birth. In fact, it appears you&#8217;ll play as a custom-made character ala Elder Scrolls.<\/p>\n<p>And any story details at this point are completely lacking. The little that we&#8217;ve seen of BG&amp;E2 has focused more on gameplay and the world. So I was really hoping to get more details this year. Alas, no. I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised if it has a big presence next year, though, as a push for next-gen consoles.<\/p>\n<h3>Tunic<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NCcaiBc4Mo0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Tunic is the long-under-development Zelda-like game from indie developer Andrew Shouldice. It swaps out Link for a cute fox but presents itself in a top-down, isometric world that immediately conjures thoughts of Hyrule (at least in Zelda&#8217;s earlier days).<\/p>\n<p>Tunic has been at the last two E3s, including in 2018 when it was showcased by Microsoft and announced as a console exclusive (though still coming to PC). It is slated to be released this year but was oddly quiet at E3.<\/p>\n<p>This has been my favorite indie title from E3 the past few years, so I was hoping for a release date and some more gameplay. Indie game development is a rough gig, so I&#8217;m happy to wait it out a little longer. But just a little.<\/p>\n<h3>Grand Theft Auto VI<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gaminguncensored.com\/gu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/432px-Grand_Theft_Auto_logo_series.svg_.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1386 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/gaminguncensored.com\/gu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/432px-Grand_Theft_Auto_logo_series.svg_.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"432\" height=\"347\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gaminguncensored.com\/gu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/432px-Grand_Theft_Auto_logo_series.svg_.png 432w, https:\/\/gaminguncensored.com\/gu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/432px-Grand_Theft_Auto_logo_series.svg_-300x241.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 432px) 100vw, 432px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This was always a long shot, but the idea of a big GTA announcement is at the forefront of my hopes for E3 every year. Rockstar has not been a big presence at E3 for a while, so that hope is always ill-placed. Yet I still have hope.<\/p>\n<p>That hope is even more unrealistic given that Red Dead Redemption 2 is still in its early days and Rockstar is still pumping content into GTA Online. Yet I still have hope.<\/p>\n<p>However, GTA V released in 2013 and Rockstar has spaced out new GTAs by 5-7 years, so we&#8217;re about due. I would guess we get an announcement in the next year and see the new game around 2021. Really, all I wanted was a nice little teaser with a hint at a location. There&#8217;s always 2020, I suppose.<\/p>\n<h3>Metroid Prime 4<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nFbDmTjS_MI\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Yet again, it&#8217;s not a surprise that Metroid Prime 4 did not appear at E3. Nintendo announced at the beginning of the year that development wasn&#8217;t going well on the game, so they essentially scrapped the project and rebooted with the help of Retro.<\/p>\n<p>While it&#8217;s disappointing that the game is still a long way out, it&#8217;s really encouraging that Retro is back on board. Retro has proven they know how to make this game, so the final product will almost certainly be better off.<\/p>\n<p>Still, I would have loved a little more information about progress at E3 this year. All we&#8217;ve seen so far is a logo, so even a little concept art or a hint about what the story will be would have been exciting. The fact that there was nothing means Nintendo likely doesn&#8217;t have anything they want to commit to yet.<\/p>\n<h3>The Last of Us 2<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/btmN-bWwv0A\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>For me, the biggest casualty of Sony&#8217;s E3 hiatus is not seeing more of The Last of Us 2. While Sony has a great slate of software coming, The Last of Us 2 is easily the one I&#8217;m most excited about.<\/p>\n<p>The first title in the franchise set a new bar for narrative in an action-adventure game. The world is so well thought out and the gameplay is really rewarding. But more than that, the characters are relatable and deep.<\/p>\n<p>We (think we) know that the sequel will focus more on Ellie, though Joel is still a central part of the story. We also know that the scope of this one is supposed to be more ambitious. With at least 7 years between the two games, there&#8217;s both a lot of expectation and potential for disappointment. Yet Naughty Dog has proven they can deliver sequels with Uncharted that keep the franchise moving forward. I would guess Sony makes this one of the highlight transitional titles between the PS4 and PS5.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s always next year&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; E3 was chock full of great software, but there are still games that I wish were there.
