Not an announcement, but here's 14 minutes of Jedi: Fallen Order gameplay.

Spoiler for Hidden Content:

The EA Play stream is happening as I write this. So in the unlikely event that they announce anything more interesting than some ugly skins for Apex, I'll be watching.

Edit: Not much news here. The only interesting tidbit I noticed was they're doing FIFA as a legacy edition on Switch. Which is code for "we're too cheap to make an actual updated game, so we updated the rosters and called it a day, give us $60."

Here's the full presentation

Bethesda Presentation


They sure are spending a lot of time butt kissing the audience. They've been going on for like 10 minutes thanking everyone for crapping all over them over the Fallout 76 and ES Blades debacles.

-Elder Scrolls Blades is coming to Switch. Prepare to empty your wallets on a free game.

-They announce a new update for Fallout 76 that has human NPCs. It's almost like the entire internet told them not having any human NPCs was a bad idea from the getgo. And they're adding battle royale, because the train has almost passed so it's time to jump on that bandwagon.

-Mr. Mikami announces Ghostwire Tokyo This one looks really cool

*NEW* Ghostwire Tokyo-

Spoiler for Hidden Content:

     

-Elder Scrolls Online is still a thing

-They announce a new Commander Keen! And it's a phone game that has nothing to do with Commander Keen....this is the point where I stopped caring.

*NEW* Commander Keen

-Elder Scrolls Legends apparently still exists. It's a card games for phones. NEXT

*NEW* Wolfenstein Cyberpilot It's a VR game where you pilot a mech and has nothing to do with Wolfenstein other than a nazi theme.

Wolfenstein Youngblood

Spoiler for Hidden Content:

*NEW* Deathloop

Spoiler for Hidden Content:

-They announce some Orion game streaming middleware.

-This show is bad.

DOOM Eternal

Spoiler for Hidden Content:

Man, this was a bad show. The only thing worth watching here was DOOM. The rest of it was we love the players, look what great guys we are, here's some updates for old games, and here's some phone garbage. When you only have 30 minutes worth of content...you should probably do a 30 minute show.

It's weird not seeing sony on this lime up. I'm really excited for the Microsoft and Nintendo conferences. I'm also bracing myself for a Minecraft Steve smash dlc trailer.

I'm looking forward to the Nintendo Direct just because I'm expecting Animal Crossing to be shown off for the first time. It's been way too long since I crossed some animals.

I assume MS will drop some infobombs on the Xbox Too. But nothing as interesting as a release date/price point etc. They'd have to be stupid not to, as they're the only ones doing a big stage show of the 3. Of course these are the same guys that thought telling people they could use their last machine to watch TV was going to sell it.....

I figured Sony would do a State of Play stream, but nothing I've seen so far has mentioned it.

Not a bad show from MS. They probably would have been better off leaving the hipster indie games to the indie montage, but I imagine they really wanted to hit that 60 games number.

The only things that really surprised me was PSO 2 and Blair Witch.

Bleeding Edge pretty much looks like they bought every rejected character model from Overwatch and Apex and shoved them into a game.

Outer Worlds still looks great.

The Scarlett stuff was a bunch of fluff where they pretty much just went through the list of stuff already announced that the PS5 is doing and said we're doing that too.

Lost interest in Gears about 4 games ago.

Not sold on a Destiny'd up Halo. 343 has a pretty bad track record with Halo anyways, I'll keep my expectations low.

I didn't play the original animal crossings so my passion for it isn't high but if it looks enjoyable I might get it.
