I was actually interested in everything at Sony's conference and BG&E2 was ... Interesting. Plus metroid prime 4 is a cool logo to see. Look at it go!
I did think Xbox presentation was a slog, but some games looked really good, like Forza 7, The Last Night, that fox platformer, and a couple others I can't think of. That pirate trailer was too damn long.
Only things I saw were metroid 3ds and metroid prime 4 announcements.
I'll watch the whole thing later.
Same here. I wonder who voted yes.
The more I consider it, the more I feel like my PS4 still has plenty waiting for me to get to. I'm excited to watch Nintendo's conference though.
Yeah, I was all excited about $500 4K, until realizing it was really $1000 at that point.
I realize it upscales for 1080p TVs, but ...
SotC was my favorite genuine surprise, but all of these looked good to me.
I still need to finish the Uncharted series and my copy of horizon, but I'm excited to do so and get these new games/DLC.
Days Gone looked interesting, although that's the one I'm least sure suits my taste.
Monster Hunter World retminded me of horizon last year, what with the dinos, but still felt fresh. I never played monster Hunter, so actually found out that's what that was after the show.
I hadn't heard of Detroit or seen a trailer, so that was actually a genuine surprise for me as well.
As for Spider-Man, the combat/action looked ok, but seeing the swing mechanics pushed me over the edge. I think there were probably more QTAs because they needed a more cinematic scene. I don't love those, but I don't hate them so much to be immediately turned off by a trailer with them either.
So staying out of the loop made Sony's conference pretty damn exciting to me! I also love the format of their press conference. Y'all are here for trailers, so here are some trailers with occassional stage theatrics.
Only one of these I'm not that intrigued by is Dishonored. I just couldn't get into Dishonored 2 when I played the demo.
Again, VR stuff is only going to appeal to me when I can try it. That is just one gaming avenue where I need proof of concept in person.
Is the mod thing PC-only?
I also noticed the creature at the end of Wolfenstein. It was a bit jarring. I still need to finish The New Order, but I just haven't been feeling it midway through. I think TNO moves too slowly, too.
Julian, you know you can fly as Batman, right? 
And ok, there's the Anthem talk. And yes, thank God for color.
I heard dragon riding, but ... oh well. Never mind.
Show audio quality sounds really good to my ears ... Patrick has some echo, but it's not distractingly hollow. Great job for a raw cut.
Forza 7 looks awesome. The Porsche 9-11 thing seemed a bit out of place ...
I was surprised how underwhelmed I was by Crackdown 3. It just looked ... eh.
Sea of Thieves had a way-too-long trailer. It just didn't appeal top me. Also, same thing for me being a single-player gamer; it just doesn't look like something I'd play often.
There was too little of that guitar side-scroller for me to have much of a reaction.
Julian, I believe you are thinking of The Last Night, which stood out to me as well:
Super Lucky's Tale look cute and charming. Nothing incredible, but nice to see those things for variety.
Arc System Works is doing the DBZ game, so I'm hyped, despite not being a DBZ fan. I thought it looked like something they would do.
AC: Origins was a standout to me graphically, but didn't look like anything new gameplay-wise. Still, since I've never played it before, I'd be cool with checking it out as my entry to the series.Illuminati ... Of course, Patrick mentioned this. Of course he did. I don't care if it's part of the game's lore. Patrick WOULD ... Egypt is a cool place to set a game though.
Not really into the iPhone model, myself. Not into the idea of upgrading such a substantial piece of hardware so often.
I'm surprised you didn't mention Anthem or Ori. Those were highlights of Microsoft's conference for me, along with B/C ... even though those are ones I skipped the first time because the conference was dragging for me around the 30 minutes to go mark. You mentioned Anthem during the EA part, but I don't remember you talking about it in the Xbox section? Or maybe I'm on drugs. Allergy meds are more powerful than I thought.
I'm going to say Bethesda starts about 00:47:00 in. Off to watch some trailers.
I'm actually kind of stoked for Madden story mode, if only because Mahershala Ali is in it, from the picture I saw. That, and it looks like college might be integrated ... which I'd be more excited about if they had that for basketball, since my alma mater (SFASU) has appeared during March Madness recently. Oh well.
I didn't watch the EA conference live (I just went to the IGN trailer page before listening to this again), so I missed the YouTuber thing, but have you seen Bill Nye Saves the World? They had some white, female rapper in that doing correspondence work, and it felt so ... pandering.
Honestly, your mention of Need for Speed looking like Burnout is why I decided to check some trailers before coming back to this podcast. The trailer looks awesome. My one hope: Please, PLEASE let me play as the cops, unlike in the otherwise addictive 2015 edition.
A Way Out might be good, or terrible, for me to play with my older brother. However, as someone who mainly sticks to single player, I am probably not going to get it; especially not at full price. This reminds me, I need to play my copy of Brothers.
Battlefront II looks awesome, but did they show single-player mode? If so, that is a HUGE improvement in my opinion. I still regret even my $10 purchase of the most recent release though, so I'm ... skeptical. It's good they have people giving them feedback and free DLC for sure though. Having all eras in there is good, too.
0:00:00 to about 0:14:10 is the timestamp for EA stuff. I'm going to watch the rest of the Xbox presser and come back here.
