The celebration over Shenmue legitimately puzzles me. It always looked like absolute garbage.

Using E3 airtime for a kickstarter advertisement is also pretty disgraceful.

I know what you mean and I agree on all parts. But at least it was great to see the croweds reaction. it's made 200,000 in about half an hour.

Clone Wars in Disney Infinity 3.0

My emotions are being played with. I don't care for Infinity, but Clone Wars content always gets me . . .

Having owned and beaten both Shenmue, I can safely say that in my mind they were both good games, if way too ambitious and marred with some questionable design choices.

PS Vita being reduced to a 10 second montage
Disney Infinity 3.0
Star Wars Battlefront
Uncharted 4

This E3 is everything that's wrong with E3. 75% of the show was cinematic trailers. The rest was really scripted gameplay. Again, maybe i'm spoiled from last year when everyone, even when it was awkward for them, tried to put gameplay above all else. On top of that, a lot of what of Sony showed was multiplatform stuff as well. I love Hitman, but I really, really wanted to see gameplay to see if IO was true to their word about making a real Hitman game.

The Last Guardian and Batman do have my attention, though. And while I agree with Homeless' statement, I have to admit, it was a very calculated move by Sony and Shenmue's creators to do this which will pretty much get the game funded.

Honestly Shenmue would have gotten funded even without Sony's ad. It's how MUCH they can get that's another issue altogether. I can't help but feel they saw Bloodstained's reaction and felt they could benefit from the nostalgia train.

The fact that Sony went all out for them, only leads me to believe that Sony made a promise to them that if they can reach the goal, they'll handle the rest of the costs.

And it's already at 1 million doru.

It'll be funded. It always would have been funded, but a game like Shenmue needs so much money. There's definitely a publisher behind it though and it's probably Sega themselves, considering they still own the IP unless something fucking weird happened.

So with only Nintendo left up to bat (right?), what's on everyone's list so far?

My list of potential backlog items, so far, are as follow:

- The Division (scripted "team" gameplay is still atrocious though... and that stupid backstabbing. Gonna be a horrid time online if you're solo. Heck, they even promoted it with the team they used)

- Ghost Recon Wildlands - gimme more of the Future Soldier gameplay, with that coop and I'm good. That's what I wanted from The Division, so this makes it an easy choice.

- R6 Siege - yep, more TC. T-Hunt!
- Fallout 4. Not much more to add to that.
- Ashen. Looking pretty.
- For Honour (sorry, Honor)
- Rock Band 4
- Battlefront 3
- ReCore
- No Man's Sky (pending a PS4... but if it's still slated for PC, then easy)
- Halo 5... maybe. Even though I still haven't bothered with the MCC.

Uhhhhhhhhhhh

Halo 5 and Mass Effect: Ascension

Not much of a list, really. I'm pretty cynical about both titles.

I feel personally sorrowful my hype for MGSV died completely when I tried my hardest to play Peace Walker, and just did not like it at all. I can't really get hype for Peace Walker 2 thanks to it.
