It’s that time again. That time when we must slightly taint our excitement at a really good set of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:E3 2018 games by having a slight grumble, in an uncomfortably entitled fashion, about the games that we expected to see at E3 2018 but which did not appear. Or, to put a more positive spin on it, these are the missing E3 games that, via the absence of their expected appearance, pave the way for a cavalcade of exജciting surprises and reveals over the rest of the year, and perhaps in a few cases even set the foundation for E3 2019.
Yeah, let’s go with that. It sounds nicer, and far less ‘angry internet’. Read on, and be further hyped by the following great games that you entirely forgot about because you were far too busy gawping at 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Cyberpunk 2077.
Red Dead Redemption 2
Okay, maybe this one was a long-shot. Because, as much as 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Red Dead Redemption 2 will be the biggest game in the October release schedule without batting an eyelid, that’s probably exactly why it wasn’t at E3 2018. Rockstar doesn’t need E3. Its major releases are so major that they sell themselves. Whenever Rockstar does turn up at a press conference, it’s usually to do someone else a favour by aligning one of its games with a particular platform. Hello, So yes, while it would have been nice to have had even just a new trailer for Red Dead Redemption 2 turn up at E3, expect the next look at the game to cꦺome direct from Rockstar, on Rockstar’s own terms. That’s just how the studio rolls.
Borderlands 3
To be fair, even Gearbox’s Randy Pitchford didn’t seem sure whether this one was coming to E3 2018. During a rambling, 澳洲幸🐷运5开奖号码历史查询:moderately c🐼oherent Twitter discussion of magic and the nature of perception - which may or may not have all been a stealth method of whipping up Borderlands 3 hype while pretending to do the opposite - the studio boss mentioned that whatever he said, people would expect Borderlands 3 at E3 just because it had mentioned it. Way to both possess a cake and, in fact, devour it, Randy. We do know that Borderlands 3 exists. Its development was confirmed a good, long time ago. And it certainly feels like we’re due to see it. But maybe Gearbox is waiting for another opportunity, perhaps when Id and Avalanche’s similarly anarchic, post-apocalyptic Rage 2 isn’t hogging the spotlight.
Resident Evil 8
Pre-E3, Capcom had an Xbox One ‘Action/Adventure’ listed as an E3 game. Naturally, many expected that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft, in its continuing bid to showcase massive, third-party games under its own branding, might have snagged a new Resident Evil (separate from the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:brilliant-looking Resident Evil 2 remake showcased at the Sony conference) for its big stage. In truth, that game turned out to be the no-less exciting 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Devil May Cry 5, which returns to the original narrative of Dante and Nero while picking up a few stylistic cues from Ninja Theory's 2013 reboot. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Resident Evil 8 will have to wait. But in the meantime, The Resi 2 remake, which runs in the same engine as 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Resident Evil 7 and presumably 8, gives us one hell of a previ♌ew of what the next main series entry might deliver. Those gore effects feel positively next-gen.
