@tokeeffe9 I'm not sure people even crave Half Life 3 anymore. 90% of the people spreading that meme probably never even played those games. Only a another game and a half from Valve really, but hey, that means we might get a card game soon!
-
@Haru17 It honestly baffles me as to why Squeenix hasn't capitalized on the TCG craze and released a mobile Triple Triad/Tetra Master type game using all of the FF characters.
And lets be real, an HL3 announcement would break the internet.
-
@El-Shmiablo There is a Triple Triad mobile game (with online MP) but it's tied to the FF Portal App
-
@El-Shmiablo
I thought only pointless celebrities who are famous for no reason could break the internet?But yeah, HL 3 wont break the internet, IT WILL DESTROY IT...for like 3 days
-
Yeah, Valve put themselves in a rough spot with Half Life 3. If they ever release it (I doubt it), there's no way it could possibly live up to expectations. They have so many incredible franchises under their belt they are doing nothing with, they've let their marketplace become flooded with actual trash games and asset flips, and their first major announcement in awhile is a card game. Calling them out of touch is being too kind at this point.
-
imagine if valve does a HL3 trailer and they have no event just put a trailer on facebook or something
-
Well of course it would be popular, it's just more of a meme than anything real at this point since Valve's let their fans stew with an incomplete story for so long. As has been mentioned, there would probably be a second (or in 2017, fifth) freak out when it actually releases and — oops — isn't half as innovative as people expect it to be due to the last decade and a half of FPS.

Kotaku - Call of Duty: WW2 Gives You Prizes For Watching Others Open Loot Boxes
Headquarters seems to act as a lobby that up to 48 people can spend time in between online multiplayer matches. One of the things you can do is open the aforementioned cosmetic loot boxes you'll unlock while playing, or you can watch others open theirs in the hopes of winning prizes for doing so. Activision-Blizzard, of course, knows more about loot boxes than any company in the world, and doubtless seeing your friends unlock cool cosmetic gear leads to more purchases overall.
Publishers/Developers going as far as possible to maintain engagement in their games. Considering this already happens with streams dedicated to people opening packs/boxes, I can see it working.

UFO 50 announced (PC, 2018)
Youtube VideoUFO 50 is a collection of 50 single and multiplayer games from the creators of Spelunky, Downwell, Time Barons, Skorpulac, and Madhouse. ... Our goal is to combine a familiar 8-bit aesthetic with new ideas and modern game design sensibilities.
This might not be a huge one but I hadn't heard of it (or at least didn't pay attention) until this weeks podcast. It sounds like such a cool idea to me and some of the guys behind it, in particular the creators of Spelunky & Downwell for me, makes it a really interesting project.

Release Date for Etrian Odyssey 5
http://gematsu.com/2017/08/etrian-odyssey-v-launches-october-17-americas
I don't know if anyone else is interested on it, I have it pre ordered and it would be my first game on the series, I enjoyed PQ. Thinking it is similar I hope I'll also like the gameplay on this one, although I've heard they are usually light on story which is not my preference, but I guess I'll have to wait and see.

I wish they'd make an english asia release of Castle Panzers.
Another case of some company I never heard of before trying kill itself... trying to leech off money from a big one.

@Sentinel-Beach And so the mystery of the Fallout 4 GOTY edition is finally concluded. Weird it's so late, I bet Bethesda wanted to make space for the Skyrim re-release.

Tekken 7 has sold 1.66 million so far
Tekken 7’s sales figures have been revealed thanks to Namco Bandai’s first quarter results for fiscal 2017. The sales expectations for Tekken 7 are 2.1 million by the end of the year, and it looks like they are on track to meet that sales target as they have already sold 1.66 million copies of Tekken 7 so far.
I think this is already more than the total amount SFV has sold. If not it's pretty damn close. Just shows how much Capcom messed up with it.
-
Apparently the XBone version of Conan Exiles will be censored, in the US, but not in europe, lol.

@tokeefe9 I thought our position as verysmartgamesinsiders was that sales don't correspond to quality? I shouldn't really be surprised people play favorites with as many irrational preconceptions as they have, such trying to rationalize holding grudges against multinational companies as if they're individuals. It's still a pretty ridiculous waste of energy though.
-
Little surprised we're getting an EU showcase. Hopefully it's a sign they've a lot to show off as I was pretty happy with E3 and PSX being their main events.
-
That's a pretty pretty image compared to what companies usually put out for events. It's quite strange that Sony would host another press conference just one month before their own event. On the other hand, more Monster Hunter! Let's just hope it isn't as dull as when they decided to host an extra meeting around this time last year...
